Chapter 233: Chapter 233 The First Divine Transformation Realm Expert!
Chapter 233 The First Divine Transformation Realm Expert!
In the room, Ning Fan looked at the Nascent Soul Realm auction progressing towards its end in silence with a smile on his face.
Yet Dong Xu smiled bitterly while explaining the reason why he had to hide his identity to Xu Qiuling.
Xu Qiuling had never thought that her master in gardening whom she arbitrarily went under was such a powerful figure…
But the thing that really frustrated her was that the usually loony master of hers tried ‘marry’ her off to Ning Fan with just a few words!
Even though she wasn’t reluctant, but…
But can a girl’s marriage be decided in such a sloppy manner?
She lightly sighed and her gaze fell upon Ning Fan’s quiet smile, which made her heart skip a beat.
I wonder if I am still underestimating Young Master Zhou…
He is a person who was able to make my father and Uncle Yan befriend him at all costs, and now he is even able to make one of the Venerated Seven of the Internal Endless Sea lower himself before him.
Aside from that… Young Master Zhou directed my master on how to attain the Void Refinement Realm…
Inconceivable, unbelievable…
The eyelashes of Xu Qiuling continuously blinked while her stare continued to linger at Ning Fan’s face, making her cheeks blush like a ripe tomato.
The calm and composed Ning Fan was indeed brimming with charm… Such a man of indifference was her cup of tea.
Her father was a devil who made a living via selling human cauldrons. Throughout her life, she had seen and met countless devils, but none of them had been as charming as this man before her.
Her lifespan had been preordained to be short which eventually caused her personality to become cold, but yet she could not forget this man after only meeting him once…
It was as if it was the man whom she had longed for in the past hundreds of years.
A man who could cause her to give all her affection to him without restraints, even if he couldn’t save her in the end…
Perhaps you won’t be able to see me wither away with old age in your journey.
But I am willing to follow you towards the ends of the world, enjoying all the beautiful scenes where flowers bloom like a piece of brocade in the world and promising you a vibrant life.
The Nascent Soul Realm auction had finally reached its end.
Several precious Nascent Soul Realm Magical Treasures and pills had already been auctioned off.
Each and every pill that could increase one’s cultivation level was acquired by Ning Fan, even though he had no use for them… The girls in my hometown may need them.
The average Nascent Soul Realm cultivator did not dare to make their bid after hearing his voice from the third level.
This time, he did not attempt to conceal his identity because his influence under the pseudonym of Zhou Ming had become far too hard for him to remain a low profile in the External Endless Sea. Many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the External Endless Sea immediately stopped bidding after recognizing Ning Fan’s cabin.
This was the power of his devil prestige.
Ning Fan’s gaze fell upon the second floor.
The Sense Blocking Formation that was established there was unable to prevent Ning Fan from probing what’s inside.
Within the room, Su Yao was slightly frowning. The Nascent Soul Realm Dao Fruit that she had painfully awaited had yet to be seen.
There should have been four Dao Fruits for auction, with one being auctioned in the beginning of the auction; two in the middle of the auction; and the last towards the end of the auction.
But now, even when the auction was nearing its end, no Dao Fruits could be seen, thus, making Su Yao anxious.
In the next second, the last item was finally unveiled under her worried eyes.
“The last item for this auction is an Early Nascent Soul Realm Dao Fruit, due to some unforeseen circumstances, our sect is only able to auction this Dao Fruit. The starting bid is 5 million!”
“5.5 Million!”
There was not an ounce of patience left within Su Yao, making her bid immediately without any hesitation.
The owner of this tender and pleasant voice was easily recognizable to those who knew her. Without a doubt, she is the Sect Master of Bi Yao Sect.
Dao Fruit was an item that spawned from killing others.
The Bi Yao Sect was the only sect that claimed that they were a righteous sect amongst the top ten sects and the disciples of the sect had to abstain from killing. There were many restrictions on taking a person’s life. However, it was rather ironic for the sect master of the righteous sect to actually come to the Pleasure Devil Sea to procure a Dao Fruit.
Some silently snickered, some spoke and teased sarcastically and some even lusted after her alluring body.
But nothing was able to diminish her determination. The sole purpose of this journey was to successfully procure a Dao Fruit for her sister, Yin Suqiu.
She wanted to assist Yin Suqiu in her Nascent Formation!
However, Su Yao had slightly underestimated the influence of the Dao Fruit.
The top ten sect’s influence wasn’t insignificant, but the Bi Yao Immortal Island was an exception.
As long as one doesn’t offend this sect in an excessive manner, the sect would not hunt them down on the surface for revenge.
As long as one possesses sufficient wealth, they could go against Su Yao and bid on the Dao Fruit with a higher price. Even so, Bi Yao Immortal Island would not take action.
“6 Million!”
“6.2 Million!”
“6.6 Million !”
“7 Million!”
A series of bidding resounded in turns.
The competition stopped when the bid raised up to 9 million.
Because… the one who gave out the bid was from the southern room on the fourth floor!
“I bid for 9 million!”
The moment the owner of that coarse and evil voice was heard, every cultivator that was below the Peak Nascent Soul Realm felt a chill down their spines simultaneously.
Even though it was just a common voice, it sounded as if it possesses a strength that could even crumble the heavens.
A surge of Primordial Energy of heaven and earth congealed into innumerable Heavenly Spiritual Threads that appeared along with this voice, shattering the protective formation of the room that Su Yao was in!
An obese black monk walked out of the room snickering and licking his tongue at the same time while he gazed upon Su Yao’s room.
“So… this is the human cauldron that had been prepared by that little fellow Milian. Hmm… She looks good. She is the type that I like! But since Milian died because of you, you are better off dead!”
The black obese monk’s evil eyes glowed and a black devilish Buddha image which was nearly six zhang* tall appeared behind him. The Buddha image then burst into black smoke dashing towards Su Yao.
However, only Divine Transformation Realm experts knew that it was not smoke, but a fatal technique that was congealed from countless Heavenly Spiritual energy black threads!
Immediately, the Bi Yao Sect’s female disciples behind Su Yao had all their faces plastered with fear.
All the old monsters and experts at the scene recognized the perpetrator!
“He is a Divine Transformation Realm Old Monster! He’s Evil Light Monk, the vice sect master of the Black Buddha Sect!”
“This black smoke is Evil Light’s strongest technique – Evil Smoke. After getting caught in it, even Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would lose their magical power instantly and be shredded into pieces…”
Each old monster that were usually snobbish suddenly became inconsequential existences like ants in the face of a Divine Transformation Realm old monster. They didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.
None of them dared to question the Divine Transformation Realm expert from the Internal Seas who’s trying to kill one of the sect masters of the top ten sects of the External Endless Sea, let alone go against him.
While all of that was happening, Xu Rushan and Yan Zhongze were leisurely enjoying their tea on the Blissful Summit. It’s completely beyond their expectations that a mere Nascent Soul Grade auction would cause a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator to cause a scene.
That Evil Light Monk is nuts! He actually shifted his target to the Bi Yao Sect to vent his anger after we warned him not to go against Zhou Ming!
The two of them wanted to help but they were too far away from the scene.
As for the other three Divine Transformation Realm experts at the auction, they had their own agendas.
In the eastern room, a young man with a pair of glittering eyes donning a silver robe folded his fan. An emblem of a silver thunder beast had been sewn on his lapel!
This person was a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and his magical power had reached 8 thousand units!
This person’s aura was on par with Evil Light!
He was Zhou Qing from the Zhou Clan!
This person was a genius of the Zhou Clan from the Internal Endless Sea. As such, he gained the nickname of “The Son of Heaven of the Zhou Clan”. He was the most talented devil cultivator among all his peers in the Internal Endless Sea and he could be considered as “the strongest cultivator below the Divine Transformation Realm” in that place! Whenever he leaves the sect, he would be accompanied by a Divine Transformation Realm expert, Zhou Qi. It was enough to show how important he was to the Zhou Clan.
“Rumour has it that this woman was the cause of the conflict between Zhou Ming and the Black Buddha Sect. But Evil Light won’t dare to kill Zhou Ming to vent his anger as Xu Rushan gave him a warning. Hence, he is trying to force Zhou Ming to act so that he can have a proper reason to kill him… Hmm… Evil Light, is a person that is worth my attention. He does not even possess a Divine Intent even though he is already a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. I suppose he attained his current cultivation level with a cheap trick. I will at most only need to use 4000 units of my magic power to finish him off. But this Zhou Ming… He is not a member of our clan, yet his techniques are good… The strongest below Divine Transformation Realm in the External Endless Sea… I wonder how many blows he could take from me… and how much magic power I would need to defeat him.”
“Three moves! A thousand unit!” Zhou Qi looked like a taciturn man.
“Zhou Qi, I guess you’re overestimating this man…”
Zhou Qing smiled coldly, but in the next instance, his gaze shuddered!
“He is Zhou Ming?!”
In a room located in the northern part of the area, a burly man whose face was noticeably red with a long beard was cleaning his gigantic sword which radiated silver light.
His sharp eyes stared at the body of the sword as if his entire thoughts were totally absorbed into the sword.
The ongoing Nascent Soul Realm auction could not arouse the slightest bit of his interest. When Evil Light Monk acted, he did not even raise his eyebrows.
The next instance, however, he stood up with his eyes brimming with vigor, staring outside the room in disbelief!
“This man is Zhou Ming? Such powerful sword technique! I think not more than 10 people in the Sword Island can withstand this person’s technique!”
Meanwhile, in a room in the western side, an elderly man dressed in purple robes was holding two women in both of his arms.
He was too lazy to even lift his eyelids when Evil Light caused the commotion outside. He sneered instead, “Oh. So this is the vice sect master of the Black Buddha Sect? He is way too weak compared to the Divine Transformation Realm experts of my Demon Sealing Sect…”
Evil Light was just someone beneath his contempt. The reason why he could be so conceited was because he was the third elder of the Demon Sealing Sect, Purple Gu.
However, right after Evil Light initiated his attack, someone emerged and his presence alone was enough to make Purple Gu be filled with towering rage.
Purple Gu could clearly sense the purple demon qi that he planted in the Eagle Crane Elder himself from that person!
It can’t be wrong!
“Zhou Ming! You’re courting death!”
Suddenly a purple light flashed within his room and the two ladies at his sides vanished into millions of golden purple worms.
The two women were not humans, but worms! Those worms were called “Purple Bites”. Despite their tiny size, a mature worm was able to bite a Gold Core Realm cultivator to death. Hundreds of them would be able to devour a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator while thousands of them could engulf a Divine Transformation Realm expert!
Purple Gu Taoist had seventeen-thousands of those worms with him. Therefore, none of the Divine Transformation Realm experts would be willing to fight him!
But the killing intent that surged within his eyes was quickly replaced with astonishment.
“Why is this Zhou Ming so powerful although he is just a Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?!”
Su Yao’s heart was filled with despair and hopelessness when Evil Light Monk displayed his technique.
The black smoke was just too fast for her, not even letting her take out her magical treasures to block it.
But what if I manage to take out my magical treasures….
There’s no way I can withstand it…
However, a silhouette of a young man was even faster than the black smoke!
With just merely a flash of grey light which was partially filled with green smoke, he emerged before the black smoke with a pair of cold-piercing eyes!
“Is my human cauldron someone you can harm? Crush!”
The five fingers of Ning Fan’s hands shone in dark green light. When he clawed towards the black smoke, a trace of Devil Intent of Evil Luo Mountain went out of his body, surrounding him with tremendous devil qi! The Heavenly Spiritual Black Smoke which was capable of shredding Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts into pieces, dispersed!
“Hmph…You finally revealed yourself! Haha. I will now have a justifiable cause to kill you now. There’s nothing Xu Rushan can say anymore! Die!”
Evil Light grinned hideously and quickly performed the incantations for the next technique. He had been waiting for Ning Fan to save her and he had finally showed himself!
But Ning Fan acted much quicker than him!
In a flash, he lifted two of his fingers and pointed at him.
First Finger, Mountain Crush!
Second Finger, Heaven Breaker!
Countless mountains on Joint Joyous Immortal Island began to crumble.
The immense power of his finger broke open the ceiling of the Immortal’s Abode Tower, revealing the vast sky!
Even though it was still day, the entire sky darkened and a giant black sun hung in the middle of the sky.
When Ning Fan triggered his killing intent, the black sun ignited.
The sun fell; the clouds crumbled; and the heavens broke!
Evil Light grimaced in fear!
He was the weakest Divine Transformation Realm expert in the Internal Endless Sea but the incoming attack seemed to have the power of the strongest attack of an Early Divine Transformation Realm expert!
Even Stone Warrior nearly died to that attack. How could he, Evil Light, be able to withstand it?!
Run! I must run!
“Seal!”
Ning Fan pointed at him his third finger. This time, it was the Body Sealing Technique!
Endless number of grey threads tightly bound Evil Light’s limbs, leaving him no freedom to move. With Ning Fan’s current cultivation level, he was more than capable of sealing Evil Light’s movements for half a breath.
“What technique is this?!”
Evil Light’s expression greatly changed.
What is this technique that can allow a Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to seal my movements?!
“You are the weakest Divine Transformation Realm expert and I am the strongest Nascent Soul Realm cultivator… You can die now! Crush!”
A trace of sword qi emitting black golden light went out from his finger. It was his first time displaying this sword qi and therefore, it had yet to reach its maximum potential. But as for the technique, he became more proficient in it after using it this time.
When the sword qi departed from his finger, it broke into countless fine black threads. However, if one looks closely enough, the tips of the black threads were razor-sharp mini swords.
It was as if a ray of light was pulled into innumerable thin shafts of light.
But when they arrived before Evil Light, they converged and enwrapped his body.
The weakest Divine Transformation Realm expert, Evil Light, did not even have the time to use his Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasure. In desperation, he spurted a mouthful of black sand which was a Profound Heaven Defective Treasure, intending to fend off the black threads.
But as his sand came into contact with the black threads, it immediately disintegrated into ashes.
At this moment, the boundless sky above the Joint Joyous Immortal Island broke, revealing the dark and eerie Void Realm, which made everyone feel a tingling sensation on their scalp.
After destroying his Profound Heaven Defective Treasure, the black threads were like maggots, devouring Evil Light’s body and tearing it into pieces.
However, just when his body was completely engulfed, a flash of black shadow forcefully dashed out from the seal of the black threads. Despite his grievous condition, he managed to perform incantations and turned into a cloud of black smoke to escape with his Instant Shift. The next second, he was already tens of thousands of li* away.
The fist-sized black shadow was like a Nascent Soul. His face was exactly the same as Evil Light Monk, however, his body was illusory and corporeal.
It was his Primordial Spirit!
The incredible speed of a Primordial Spirit astonished Ning Fan inwardly.
He sighed while wiping off the trace of black blood on the corner of his mouth, “It’s a pity that I failed to finish off that wicked monk and let him escape… Sure enough, I have yet to reach the level of being able to kill a Divine Transformation Realm expert…”
The atmosphere of the room was filled with pin-drop silence.
The cracks in the sky outside the tower gradually closed up by itself. But the ceiling of the Immortal’s Abode Tower could never be recovered again.
After witnessing that battle, the fear that each and every one of the old monsters from the External Endless Sea had for Zhou Ming escalated to an unprecedented degree.
Even the old monsters from the Internal Endless Sea who did not even look Zhou Ming in the eye earlier began to take notice of him, especially the Divine Transformation Realm experts on the fourth floor. All of them were impressed. If they were the one who received his attack, they would certainly be grievously injured as well!
Zhou Qing clenched his fists in anger.
So it’s me who underestimated Zhou Ming?
There was no way he could withstand that finger!
This Zhou Ming isn’t just the strongest expert under the Divine Transformation Realm. In fact, only a few among the Divine Transformation Realm experts would be able to take his fingers head on!
Besides, he still said “it’s a pity”?
Don’t tell me that he is still not satisfied after destroying Evil Light’s physical body? He wants to kill his Primordial Spirit as well?
The Son of Heaven of the Zhou Clan Zhou Qing’s pride was punctured. He felt he was utterly inconsequential before Ning Fan…
“A Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator defeated a Divine Transformation Realm expert…”
Guan Xiong recollected the flash of sword earlier.
Threads Transformation Sword? It can’t be wrong! Those countless black threads were swords in threadlike form!
“I have been cultivating swordsmanship for three thousand years and yet, I haven’t comprehended the technique of transforming the sword into threads. This kid did it when he is just at the Late Nascent Soul Realm! Unfortunately, he is not a member of my Sword Island. Otherwise, he would be the one who will succeed Venerated Sword!”
Purple Gu Taoist’s eyes were filled with absolute shock.
He had already recognized Ning Fan as the person who murdered Eagle Crane Elder as soon as he appeared.
But when he witnessed the single finger Ning Fan used to eliminate Evil Light, he knew that he would also suffer critical damage, despite the amount of worms he had now!
“The murder of the elder of my sect… It can’t be resolved by just forgetting about it…. But he is not a man to be trifled with. If I face him myself, I would certainly be severely injured…”
Ning Fan might look repentant for his inability to completely eliminate Evil Light, but he turned towards his own room and passed a message using telepathy.
“Senior Dong Xu, I want his Primordial Spirit!”
“Hehe. Alright. Alright. A mere Early Divine Transformation Realm of the small Black Buddha Sect… Even if he has run for millions of li*, this old man can still catch him back…”
All in all, Ning Fan eliminated Evil Light but not his Primordial Spirit.
Even so, he still had people who could help him catch Evil Light! It would be a waste if he chose not to use a powerful expert like Dong Xu!
As the saying goes, cut the weeds and dig up the roots.
Evil Light could never run away! However, no one would figure out Ning Fan was the person behind Evil Light’s death!
“He is the first Divine Transformation Realm that I killed!”
