Grasping Evil - Chapter 225
Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Divine Transformation Realm Expert, Five Palms!
“No… Please don’t kill me…”
Zhao Zijin knelt on the ground as his eyes stared at the indifferent young man before him. All of his six vital organs were failing to function.
As the young man approached him step by step, the other six sons of the External Endless Sea cast away their righteousness and left him alone at the scene. Without them, death was certainly inevitable.
Who was the devil lord that must never be provoked in the External Endless Sea?
In the past, it was none other than Xu Rushan! He was backed by one of the Seven Venerated of the Internal Endless Sea. His Primordial Magnetic Force was superb. The cultivators who died in his hands were innumerable. He even dared to snatch the wives of others and sold them as human cauldrons… This person was truly formidable!
However, today, that person was doubtlessly Zhou Ming!
No matter how savage Xu Rushan was, he was still an old ancestor of a sect. He needed to execute the instructions from Venerated Giant without fail. He must also take care of the benefits all the top ten sects are receiving so that all of them are treated fairly and equally. Therefore, he could not do whatever he wanted. As for the other 12 Divine Transformation Realm experts, they were also in a situation that was not much different from Xu Rushan’s. None of them could behave rashly…
However, Zhou Ming did not have anything tying him down!
No one could figure out his background! This person did not join any sect. He had neither kin nor relatives. He was a lone expert who could kill anyone without having to fear any trouble in the rear.
His overall power was also unrivalled among the cultivators below the Divine Transformation Realm. Not even ordinary Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts could be his match!
Moreover, this person was ferocious in an unrestricted manner, making his notoriety even more fearsome than those of the 13 Divine Transformation Realm experts of the External Endless Sea.
If the person whom Zhao Zijin provoked today was one of the Divine Transformation Realm experts, they might need to give face to the Profound Virtue Sect…
But Zhou Ming did not need to!
“Ming…Revered Ming…. Please spare me…”
No matter what Zhao Zijin said or did, Ning Fan still walked towards him with no sympathy.
The closer he got, the stronger the feeling of death Zhao Zijin felt!
Lu Wuping’s remaining Nascent Soul and the Mid Nascent Soul Realm elders behind Zhao Zijin saw the imminent danger that their young master was going to face so they gnash their teeth and threw themselves towards Ning Fan despite their fear!
“Don’t hurt our young master!”
Lu Wuping’s Nascent Soul chose to detonate himself without hesitation!
The Mid Nascent Soul Realm elder did the same. Their minds were only filled with the thought of sacrificing themselves and perish together with Ning Fan!
Their attitude of seeing death as returning from wherever they once came was a heroic conduct to which Zhao Zijin would never understand in his life!
The two Nascent Soul Realm experts faded out and shrunk into a drop of blood which was filled with chaotic magic power and tremendous blood red primordial energy that tore the heavens and earth, emitting sounds of ripping cloth. In an instant, the two drops of blood gave out a bright flash of light, blinding every being present and the entire heaven and earth was blasted away! The destructive power of the explosion was enough to put Late Nascent Soul Realm experts in critical condition if they were directly hit by the impact.
The Nascent Soul Realm experts of the other six sects watched the battle from afar. The blood red self-detonation made Wang Yun, Lu An and also Liu Zong frown solemnly.
If they were the ones who were caught in such a massive explosion, there was no way they would come out unharmed.
Zhou Ming…Could he survive it?! Although he’s called the strongest below the Divine Transformation Realm, he is not a Divine Transformation Realm expert after all…
Zhao Zijin’s eyes were full of contentment and he let out a cacophony of evil laughter. “Great! Great! The two of you died well! This Zhou Ming should be blown into pieces by now! You two were truly worth my kind and preferential treatment!”
His natural disposition was cruel and cold-hearted. The way he changed his mind was even faster than flipping the pages of a book. He did not have a single trace of sympathy for his two subordinates who horribly sacrificed themselves for him.
After a while, the smoke and dust faded. The remaining primordial energy of the explosion dispersed. When the surroundings turned clear, his laughter ceased!
When the blood-red primordial energy exploded and affected every space in the air, Ning Fan stretched out his hands and opened his palms. A silver light flashed from them and he grasped the air as if he held the entire heaven and earth in his hands. All the primordial energy which filled the air was absorbed into his hands and condensed into a ball that was emitting crimson-red light.
That ball contained all the explosive power of their self-detonating techniques. If it was unleashed, a thousand li* within the Sparrow Ascending Stage would definitely be turned into ruins! But when Ning Fan held it in his hands, it could not break free from his grasp!
Wang Yun’s eyes turned solemn!
It can’t be wrong. This Zhou Ming’s body refining realm is at the Half-Step Jade Life Realm! The strength of his physical body alone is enough to resist the primordial power of heaven and earth!
Unless the primordial energy is transformed into Heaven Spiritual Energy, nothing would be able to hurt him!
However, not even Wang Yun expected what happened next. The next moment, Ning Fan opened his mouth and swallowed the blood-red light ball!
The horrifying tearing force of the light ball had no effect on his body at all!
“After all, this is the self-detonating blood power of two Nascent Souls. It can’t be wasted like that…”
Ning Fan stood in the black snow clearly unscathed. With a wave of his sleeve, two ghosts floated to his front! They were Lu Wuping and the other elder!
“Your loyalty is commendable. Unfortunately, the both of you followed the wrong master. I killed you but I will not destroy your souls. Hurry up and enter into samsara!”
With another wave of his hand, the two souls instantly vanished into motes of light with an inexplicable expression…
Zhou Ming… I wonder what kind of person he truly is?!
He showed no mercy when he killed. However, he saved the two persons’ souls after they detonated themselves to hurt him and allowed them to enter into the cycle of death and rebirth…
Was it merely because they upholded the virtues of loyalty and righteousness? I have never thought that those virtues would be regarded important in the world of cultivation… Our own master would be pleased at our sacrifices. On the contrary, it was the enemy who forced us to death who took pity on us by giving us the chance to be reincarnated…
“Than…Thank you…” The two souls finally opened their mouths.
But Ning Fan’s expression remained emotionless. The only reply he gave was, “Choose a good master in your next lives!”
To Ning Fan, there were two types of enemies!
One of them were those whom he was left with no option but to kill. This type of enemy would earn his respect. He would only kill them once and never destroy their chance to be reborn.
The other type was those whom he must absolutely kill! He had no sympathy for this kind of enemies. Even if they are dead, he would not let go of their souls. He would never allow them to enter into samsara!
After the death of his two loyal subordinates, Zhao Zijin no longer had anyone to protect him!
His originally elegant and handsome face grimaced hideously as he was overwhelmed by his fear!
“No…It’s impossible! Those were the self-detonating techniques of Nascent Soul Realm experts! How could you block them so easily?! Impossible! You must not kill me! No! I will give you whatever you want! I would even be your slave if you spare my life…”
“I don’t need a slave like you…”
Ning Fan lifted his feet and stomped on Zhao Zijin’s head.
In a split second, two oppressive voices echoed from an obscure corner. They had been secretly hiding in the place for quite some time and they finally decided to intervene.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou, please have mercy…”
“Little friend, please stop!”
Ning Fan’s gaze turned cold. According to the boundless aura from the voices of the two experts, they were doubtlessly…Divine Transformation Realm experts!
The moment when Ning Fan arrived at the Sparrow Ascending Stage, he knew that there were experts at that realm hiding in that place!
Besides, the entire area was sealed by a few of them so that their battle would not affect anywhere else on the island!
At the end of the day, the Seven Sons of the External Endless Sea were the future successors of the top ten sects. No matter how awful their Divine Transformation Realm old ancestors felt for them, they would have to stand at their sides and protect them. One of the two experts who stopped Ning Fan from landing the fatal blow on Zhao Zijin was the Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor of Purple Charm Gate – Zhuo Tong and the other was the Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor of Cloud Treading Sect – Yan Zhongze!
They came to Pleasure Devil Sea for two reasons.
Firstly, they were invited by Xu Rushan to help guard the Pleasure Devil Sea… After all, there would be a Divine Transformation Realm human cauldron that will be auctioned. Moreover, the Divine Transformation Realm human cauldron was from the Internal Endless Sea. Therefore, there might be some experts from the Internal Endless Sea who will go against their agreement with the Rain Palace and infiltrate the External Endless Sea by camouflaging their cultivation levels!
Secondly, they were tasked to give protection to the Seven Sons of the External Endless Sea when necessary since the seven of them were the most outstanding individuals that would most likely attain the Divine Transformation Realm in the next millennium. They would also be the successors of their respective sects…
As for Zhao Zijin, the two Divine Transformation Realm experts did not have high expectations of him. Among the seven top talents, he was the weakest in terms of intelligence, attitude, cultivation level and potential.
If Zhou Ming really kills him, the Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor of the Profound Virtue Sect might be unhappy but he would not go so far as to exterminate Zhou Ming to avenge Zhao Zijin.
It was because according to Zhou Ming’s current cultivation level and power, he would definitely attain the Divine Transformation Realm in another few hundred years. Once he achieves that cultivation level, he would certainly be unrivalled among the Early Divine Transformation Realm experts. Therefore, none of the 13 Divine Transformation Realm experts would be willing to become his archnemesis.
But if the two of them let Zhou Ming kill one of the Seven Sons right under their nose, it would be something unacceptable in the eyes of other cultivators.
What would they say about them? The two respectable Divine Transformation Realm experts did not dare to save one of the Seven Sons because they feared Zhou Ming?
At least, if they did something, they would not be considered as cowards.
From their perspectives, they thought that if the both of them voiced out together to defend Zhao Zijin, Zhou Ming who had yet to attain Divine Transformation Ream would surely give them face, despite his savageness.
However, he was not surprised by their interference.
In fact, he had already anticipated that the two of them would dissuade him if he really wanted to kill Zhao Zijin.
However, what he wanted to see was how the third Divine Transformation Realm expert would react to him.
Xu Rushan was also here! But he did not reveal himself. He was still waiting and seeing how things would unfold from a distance!
From the standpoint of Xu Rushan, he should defend Zhao Zijin too. But he was hesitating.
One side of him wanted to please Ning Fan while the other side of him wanted to maintain his relationship with the top ten sects…
“This person might rely on me for the task he was assigned by Venerated Giant but he still does not value me…He knows that I am the strongest cultivator among others below the Divine Transformation Realm but he’s unsure of the difference between me and a Divine Transformation Realm expert in terms of power… Therefore, he could not make up his mind in deciding what benefits he should give me. The Profound Jade Palace was just a test. The 50 drops of the Profound Liquid was also a test. I am testing his sincerity but he is testing my power! As such, I will show him all my capabilities with no restraints. I want to see what this Xu Rushan would give me in order to befriend me!”
Determination shone in Ning Fan’s eyes and he stamped on Zhao Zijin’s head with no hesitation!
The latter’s head was crushed into pieces and his brains burst open, causing the juices of his brain to splatter everywhere!
Ning Fan grabbed Zhao Zijin’s Nascent Soul with his devil claw and shoved him into his mouth and swallowed!
All the Nascent Soul Realm experts who were witnessing the battle fell a jolt in their heads as if it was their heads that was crushed by Ning Fan and their Nascent Souls! Their Nascent Souls shuddered in terror like they were the one that were placed in Ning Fan’s mouth!
But what was more unbelievable was that this Zhou Ming did not actually put the two Divine Transformation Realm experts in his eyes since he just simply disregarded their requests!
The face of the old ancestor of the Purple Charm Gate turned gloomy and bluish-green veins could be seen bulging out from his neck. However, he chose to suppress his emotions and did not assault Ning Fan directly.
As for Yan Zhongze who had a stubborn attitude, he felt like he was slapped in the face as Ning Fan gave no heed to him after he had personally pleaded Ning Fan to stop.
“Zhou Ming! How dare you!”
Yan Zhongze donned a hemp robe. Although his hair was white, his had a ruddy complexion. His presence emanated a fearsome aura. Suddenly, his body transformed into a cloud of mist and dispersed. The next second, he reappeared at just one zhang* away from Ning Fan. He lifted his palm and smacked the latter’s head!
The way he moved was due to the Low Grade Divine Transformation Realm Movement Technique, Wind Cloud Art!
His palm was soft and weak like floating clouds. However, the tenderness of his palm was able to soften the hardness of heaven and earth. It was a Low Grade Divine Transformation Realm Body Refining Technique, Soft Cloud Quake!
The might of the palm solidified the mist of heaven and earth which eventually burst at the direction of Ning Fan.
That attack alone was enough to instantly kill any ordinary Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert! But Ning Fan was not afraid of it!
He had Stone Warrior, the female corpse and the Yuan Yao World. Even if Xu Rushan, Yan Zhongze and Zhuo Tong attacked him at the same time, he was confident that he could escape from the situation and kill at least one of them!
It was the reason why he dared to kill Zhao Zijin in front of them. Without that assurance, he would not have behaved that impudently.
Besides, Ning Fan saw that this Yan Zhongze who was stubbornly righteous on the surface and would resort to violence whenever he encountered any disagreement with anyone only used thirty percent of his strength on his attack.
Actually, he did not have the intention to fight a life-and-death battle with Ning Fan. In fact, he was trying to drop a hint that he did not harbor any evil intentions on the latter.
He attacked because of his identity as a Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor. It would be inappropriate to stand and do nothing when one of the seven sons died. At least, by attacking Ning Fan, he could give the old ancestor of the Profound Virtue Sect an explanation.
But the reason he kept away seventy percent of the power in his attack was because he did not want to turn Ning Fan into his enemy. Besides, he thought that it would not be difficult at all for Ning Fan to block the thirty percent of his total power since the latter possessed Half-Step Jade Life Body Refining Realm.
“The old ancestor of the Profound Virtue Sect has already given a statement that anyone who provokes Zhou Ming would be on their own. Since he’s not going to oppose Zhou Ming, why should I?”
Those who could attain the Divine Transformation Realm and regarded as venerated beings in the External Endless Sea were no fools.
In actual reality, there was still one more reason that made him attack Ning Fan.
Xu Rushan requested him to test Ning Fan’s capability!
As the female corpse noticed that Yan Zhongze was going to strike Ning Fan, a faint light flashed within her eyes and thought of dashing towards the expert. But her actions were stopped by Ning Fan.
This palm, Ning Fan wanted to take it on himself!
He wanted to see how big the gap was in power between him and a Divine Transformation Realm expert!
“Ice Smash!”
When he threw his punch at the expert, heaven and earth shook but it did not freeze!
As the punch struck Yan Zhongze’s palm, the force of his punch diminished like a clay ox entering the sea. Although he managed to offset the force of the incoming palm which only constituted thirty percent of Yan Zhongze’s total force, Ning Fan still could not completely crush the latter’s attack even if he gave his all in that punch.
Ning Fan was inwardly astonished.
Divine Transformation Realm Body Refining Techniques are truly exceptional. My Nascent Soul Realm Body Refining Technique – Ice Smash has no effect on experts at the Divine Transformation Realm.
A feeling of contempt surged within Yan Zhongze’s heart.
Xu Rushan seems to have overpraised this child…
He said that my life would be in danger if I stay within a vicinity of ten zhang* from him. What is he talking about? I don’t feel anything at all even though we exchanged blows at a close distance…
Besides, this kid’s all-out strike was just enough to offset thirty percent of the total might of my attack…Although it would be sufficient for him to be recognized as the strongest person below the Divine Transformation Realm, he is still far too weak compared to Divine Transformation Realm experts.
However, the next second, all his bad-mouthing turned into an urge to curse someone’s mother.
“How…How is this possible? Wait. This…This is…”
The Earth Controlling Devil Star on Ning Fan’s right eye glittered. A jet of evil intent entered into Yan Zhongze’s body when they exchanged blows earlier.
Ning Fan did not plan to use his Yuan Yao World to capture Yan Zhongze. Otherwise, he would really have thirty percent chance to kill the latter as they were so close to each other!
Since this person did not hold a trace of hostility to Ning Fan, he did not have the need to do so…
However, it did not mean that he could give him the impression of weakness! Because Xu Rushan was watching him!
“Evil intent?!”
It caught Yan Zhongze off guard. Then, the Earth Controlling Star seemed to have formed a starry vortex on Ning Fan’s right eye. Immediately, the evil intent which entered into Yan Zhongze’s body was activated, transforming into endless Heart’s Devil, troubling him. The color of his face alternated from green and red. In a panic, he hurriedly distanced himself from Ning Fan and travelled away in the form of clouds. In a flash, he returned to the sky. However, just as he stood beside Zhuo Tong, the blood and qi within his body was in chaos. With aggression in his eyes, he banged his chest with a punch. His action instantly weakened much of his aura but only then was he able to expel a mouthful of black-colored blood which was stained with evil intent…
“The evil intent of Heart’s Devil!”
Yan Zhongze stared at Ning Fan with uneasiness while Zhuo Tong felt a tingling sensation on his scalp… The strength of Ning Fan’s punch was ordinary, but he managed to infuse the evil intent of Heart’s Devil within it…This…As such, who else dared to have body contact with him?!
Luckily, the evil intent he had was not much as he just began to collect and condense them. Or else, the evil intent would have crushed Yan Zhongze’s Heart of Dao, critically injuring him!
This kid’s technique is truly heaven-defying! The evil intent of Heart’s Devil… Is that even something that can be controlled and used by cultivators as an offensive technique?!
It’s no wonder Xu Rushan is profusely praising him… He must not be belittled…
The onlookers were all flabbergasted when they noticed that it was the Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor who spurted out blood after their confrontation.
So this is the power of the strongest man below the Divine Transformation Realm…
Wang Yun gulped. He clearly knew that if he were to be the person who faced the palm, his body would’ve been pulverized or severely injured. However, he did not know that the palm constituted only a portion of Yan Zhongze’s full strength!
Somewhere in the dark, Xu Rushan nodded his head in contentment.
Though it is just thirty percent of its total might, not only could he offset Yan Zhongze’s attack but also counterattack his enemy with evil intent. It seems that his power is above my expectations. It’s worth it to befriend him!
“Little friend, you are already an extraordinary cultivator since you can take Yan Zhongze’s attack head on. As such, if I do my best to assist you with pills, magical treasures and spiritual equipment, it would not be hard for you to kill 150 Fake Wild Beasts when you enter the Secret Realm of the Broken World!”
“Pills, magical treasures, spiritual equipment…”
Ning Fan had to retreat seven steps consecutively before he could regain his balance from the gentle force of Yan Zhongze’s palm attack earlier. Even though he did not suffer any injuries, his face did not look good.
The difference between genuine Jade Life Body Refining Realm and Half-Step Jade Life Body Refining Realm is vast like the distance between heaven and earth!
Besides, my body refining technique is still at the Nascent Soul Realm. It’s still too much weaker than Divine Transformation Realm Body Refining Techniques.
My current body refining technique only allows me to withstand thirty percent of Yan Zhongze’s full power. That evil intent is just an act of trickery.
The evil intent was condensed after I studied Milian’s magical techniques. Now, I only have 11 traces of them… The power of 11 traces of evil intent is equivalent to 11 units of magic power. Although it was enough to breed a Heart’s Devil in Yan Zhongze’s heart and even forced him to hurt himself to expel the evil intent, it was still not enough for him to use it to kill his enemies!
If Ning Fan had ten thousand traces of evil intent, he would be able to cause distress to Yan Zhongze’s mind with just a look! Also, with such an amount of evil intent, he would be able to rival a Divine Transformation Realm expert in terms of devil qi!
If he condensed fifty thousand traces of evil intent, he could even take down a Mid Divine Transformation Realm expert!
If he possessed one hundred and fifty thousand of them, he wouldn’t have to fear facing against Late Divine Transformation Realm experts!
If he had one million traces of evil intent, he would acquire power equivalent to that of a Void Refinement Realm expert!
But for now, it was too insignificant. With just 11 traces of evil intent, it was only capable of being a means to trick his enemies and Ning Fan never liked such underhanded tactics!
He could not accept the fact that he could only take thirty percent of Yan Zhongze’s total power!
“Pills, magical treasures, spiritual equipment…They are not enough! I want the Profound Heart of Mother Earth!” His eyes turned clear and were filled with determination as he told Xu Rushan through telepathy.
“The Profound Heart of Mother Earth? This item is incomparably precious. With your current strength, you aren’t qualified enough for this old man to give you this item.” Xu Rushan frowned.
“How much is enough?!”
“Five palms! Yan Zhongze’s strongest technique is the Compounded Palm Forces. If you are able to withstand the combined force of his five palms, I promise you that I will give you the Profound Heart of Mother Earth! However, I believe it is beyond your capability since you can’t even withstand one of his full palm attacks!
“Fine! Five palms! Bring it on!”
Other than Zhuo Tong and Yan Zhongze whom Ning Fan purposely made the telepathy easily accessible, none of the Nascent Souls at the scene knew what they were up to!
Yan Zhongze knitted his brows like Xu Rushan and indifferently stared at Ning Fan.
“Little friend Zhou, it is true that one has to press forward with indomitable will and courage, however, the stiffest tree is the most easily cracked. At the end of the day, you aren’t a Divine Transformation Realm expert. It would be impossible for you to withstand five of my palms!”
“How would you know without letting me try it?!” Ning Fan lifted his face and gazed upon the sky. His long hair danced in the air and a fearsome fighting spirit surged within him.
I understand now… It is an undeniable fact that my punch is weaker than Yan Zhongze’s palm. But my Nascent Soul Realm Body Refining Technique – Ice Smash and Half-Step Jade Life Body Refining Realm are not the reasons at all!
The true reason is because my punch lacks Divine Intent!
The reason why my body refining realm is stagnant at the Half-Step Jade Life Realm is because the Jade Life Realm is similar to the Divine Transformation Realm. Once a cultivator reaches this level, he must congeal his own Divine Intent!
Ning Fan himself had already comprehended the Divine Intent of Rain. However, that was too soft in nature and unsuitable to his firm and strong punch.
Besides, Yan Zhongze’s Divine Intent was the cloud and rain was inferior to it as clouds came before the rain. Naturally, Ning Fan’s divine intent could not compare with Yan Zhongze’s.
In his right eye, the devil star rotated!
On his back, the devil marks flickered!
A monstrous devil prestige converged within his body!
“In my whole life, I never yielded to anyone, be it Emperor Moksha, the Bone Sovereign, the White Demon Sect, the mysterious True Immortal… if I imbue this unyielding spirit into my punch and form my second Divine Intent, I would then be able to fight against Yan Zhongze! Moreover, I will be able to attain the Jade Life Realm itself today!”
The cold light in his eyes dispersed and was replaced by an immense battle intent!
Yan Zhongze felt shocked for the first time as he saw the look on Ning Fan’s face!
“This kid wants to comprehend the bottleneck of the Jade Life Realm through resisting my attack! There is a surge of Divine Intent slowly congealing in his body… Furthermore, this Divine Intent is rather unusual…”
His eyes turned serious. With a wave of his sleeve, he summoned gusts of strong wind that blew all the Nascent Soul Real experts of the other six sects thousands of li* away!
He touched on a piece of cloud and completely sealed the vicinity of a thousand zhang* within with his magic power!
Afterwards, he turned towards Ning Fan with a solemn expression!
Usually, experts would congeal their Divine Intent by taking inspiration from other living things like flowers, birds, insects, fish and others or discover their concepts from the five elements of heaven and earth. Despite the diversity in the types of Divine Intent, one had to fuse it into his Heart of Dao.
Clouds were ethereal. Therefore, he was elusive.
Clouds were unpredictable. Therefore, he had a strange character.
Clouds were soft and tender. Therefore, he could bend but he would not crack.
He, Yan Zhongze, was just like a piece of cloud that would adapt himself to circumstances.
However, currently, the Ning Fan he saw was like a gigantic mountain with a heaven-piercing summit which emanated devil qi that soared high up into the sky! It completely portrayed his spirit of being unwilling to concede defeat!
Ning Fan’s battle intent was unyielding! Not even heaven and earth could make this person submit!
The current Ning Fan was able to make Yan Zhongze feel oppressed with just his unyielding battle intent. If he manages to congeal a new battle intent, regardless of its type, he would be able to put up a fight against Yan Zhongze!
Xu Rushan revealed himself and exchanged glances with Zhuo Tong. Both of them rotated their magic power and sealed the activities of the qi of heaven and earth.
None of the magic power resulted from the battle would be leaked outside. Meanwhile, Xu Rushan wanted to see whether this kid could really withstand Yan Zhongze’s five palms!
“If he can do it, I will personally present the Profound Heart of Mother Earth to him. But the question is, can he really do it?!”
Yan Zhongze descended to the other Sparrow Ascending Stage. Ning Fan gently stroked the female corpse’s hair as if he was telling her to not worry and leaped over the pool of blood which belonged to Zhao Zijin and into the stage.
The atmosphere was somber. A massive battle intent rose when the two of them stood at the thousand zhang* large stage which was made of silver!
Yan Zhongze moved his palm and Ning Fan clenched his fist!
“You want to borrow my Cloud Intent to comprehend your Unyielding Intent. Fine! I’ll lend you a hand! Just think of it as this old man trying to form good ties with Fellow Daoist Zhou. However, I have a reminder for you. You can’t withstand all my five palms… If you are able to withstand three of them, I will then help you persuade Xu Rushan in giving you the Profound Heart of Mother Earth… The first palm!”
Yan Zhongze gently pushed his palm at the direction of Ning Fan. It looked soft and weak. But the next moment, a blast could be heard in heaven and earth. Countless clouds of the island dispersed and transformed into traces of cloud power! The power of the clouds formed a palm!
All of a sudden, a thousand zhang* tall palm radiating golden light rushed down from the sky. Wherever it passed by, the sky would be fragmented, exposing the indistinctively black realm of the void!
That palm constituted a hundred percent of his power!
Any cultivator below the Divine Transformation Realm would instantly die the moment they came into contact with it!
When facing the pressure generated by the palm, Ning Fan’s legs turned feeble, showing signs of kneeling down to surrender!
It was no wonder why Yan Zhongze had not given his all earlier. If he did, Ning Fan would likely be forced to kneel before the pressure of his palm. In a way, that action would breed enmity with Ning Fan as he caused the latter to suffer humiliation.
Ning Fan was in agony. His knees were in excruciating pain as if they were on the verge of being crushed to pieces. But he deliberately chose to stand on his feet!
“I must not yield! If I yield, who is going to protect the people who stand by my side! I…will…not…kneel!”
Even if the bones of his knees broke, he was determined to not fall to his knees!
“Jade Life… Jade Life! That word ‘jade’ is not about the formation of jade. Instead, it is about the willingness to be pulverized like jade and not yield! Being overcautious and indecisive would only cause the intent of my punch to crumble! Flinching and retreating would only render my Heart of Dao to shatter! I’m willing to sacrifice my body but my intent will never be extinguished. My punch can be pulverized like jade but my heart will never yield! In that manner, only then could I congeal my Divine Intent! In that state, only then could I attain the Jade Life Realm!”
The next moment, he forgot all the pain he was feeling. He forgot everything. In his ears, there was only silence. In his eyes, there was only one gigantic palm from above the sky.
“Ice Smash!”
He hurled his punch but this time, the ice that froze heaven and earth was black in colour!
That color was the representation of his tremendous devil intent!
Zhuo Tong, Yan Zhongze, Xu Rushan… Each and every one of them had Divine Intent!
However, what Ning Fan was condensing was Devil Intent!
Although it had yet to take its form, its aura surpassed that of his Divine Intent of Rain. It was quickly reaching the Seventh Grade and possibly even higher!
