Grasping Evil

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Mid Reckless Devil Realm!

The young Mo Zhong had lost to Ning Fan.

It meant that Ning Fan had won against the young version of a great emperor and he managed to pass the third test of the Devil Conferral Summit with such a terrifying result!

If Ning Fan were to defeat the young Mo Zhong in ancient time, his name would certainly shake the entire ancient immortal domain and become a famous being revered by countless prodigious and outstanding experts!

Throughout the ages, there were only a handful of people who could defeat the young Mo Zhong while having the same cultivation level as him. What Ning Fan had just achieved was something that countless immortal emperors could never accomplish!

Mo Zhong’s body suddenly turned into a black carp and dived back into the sea of blood.

Ning Fan could not wait to find out what reward he would obtain after accomplishing the third test.

Moments later, the sky above him split into two.

An avalanche of devil qi fell down from the crack of the sky and condensed into three black bloody suns.

Each of the black suns contained immense devil blood qi.

Chants of devil scripture then began to resound across the vast sky while the three bloody suns gradually turned into three droplets of ancestral blood. They descended from the sky like meteors and went inside Ning Fan’s body.

Ning Fan widened his eyes in surprise. He did not expect that the prize of completing the third test would be three complete droplets of ancestral blood!

Each droplet of ancestral blood was able to increase the level of his devil blood.

Besides, each of them also contained one million units of essence qi.

At the moment the ancestral blood got inside him, the essence qi within him became restive. If Ning Fan completely assimilates these three droplets of ancestral blood, the number of essence qi he possessed would then reach eight million units!

Meanwhile, his devil blood which was at the royal grade in the first place was also advancing towards the ancestral grade!

“You’ve won the fight and I’ll grant you a droplet of ancestral blood. You are Luan Gu’s successor. Because of my respect for him, I will grant you another droplet of ancestral blood. Judging from the samsara power you used in your last move, if I am not mistaken, it should be the Immortal Sovereign who taught you that... You’ve gotten the Immortal Sovereign’s liking. Thus, I will grant you the third droplet of ancestral blood. There are three droplets of ancestral blood in total. If you fully assimilate them, you will be deemed as the person with the strongest innate potential in terms of devil blood among everyone other than the nine great devil ancestors in the Ancient Devil Pool!”

Immoral Emperor Mo Zhong’s voice echoed from the sea of blood.

At the next moment, the ten light rays shot out from the surface of the blood sea. Each of the light rays was a devil pill emanating great devil qi.

Ning Fan took the devil pills and perused them. To his surprise, every single one of the devil pills was a Low Grade Seventh Revolution Pill.

“These ten Revered Devil Pills are the pills for experts who attain the Revered Devil Realm to stabilize their cultivation level. If you consume these pills, they will be more than enough for you to stabilize your Reckless Devil Realm in a short period of time.”

*Chi*

Just as Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong’s voice fell, another black ray flew out from the sea of blood.

“According to the Immortal Law of ‘Zi Dou Immortal Domain’, after attaining the Reckless Devil Realm, you could only be conferred the title ‘Bottom Tier Force Warrior’ which is a Ninth Class post of the nine classes of immortal post. You are entitled to the Bottom Tier Ninth Class immortal salary. However, your results and performances during the three tests of the Devil Conferral Summit are very outstanding. Hence, there is an exception in your case. Instead of the aforementioned title, you will be officially conferred the title ‘Bottom Tier Immortal Guard’ which is an Eighth Class post of the nine classes of immortal post and you are entitled to the Bottom Tier Eighth Class incense salary. You are also granted three protective amulets, ten thousand dao crystals, three Immortal Void Grade Treasures and a bottle of Peak Sixth Revolution pills.”

The three droplets of ancestral blood were actually a personal reward from Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong while the conferral of title and the entitlement to the salary were the official rewards.

Multiple rays of light shot out from the sea of blood and Ning Fan kept every one of them into his storage pouch.

He had no idea about the meaning behind the title, Bottom Tier Eighth Class Immortal Guard, that was given to him but he could tell that be it the Ninth Class Force Warrior or the Eighth Class Immortal Guard, they were all an official post for immortal beings, just like Old Devil who was the Deacons of the Four Oceans.

Ning Fan gently touched the token of the Eighth Class Immortal Guard and kept it into his pouch. He did not place too much importance on it.

As for the other rewards, on the other hand, they drew his attention more.

The dao crystals were the currency used in the Four Heavens. In the mortal world, a dao crystal was equivalent to five million immortal jade and ten thousand dao crystals would be worth fifty billion immortal jade. It was a huge sum of wealth.

The three Immortal Void Treasures were all rare and precious magic treasures. However, Ning fan usually did not place much emphasis on magic treasures. Moreover, the three magic treasures were at the Immortal Void Grade. Only Void Fragmentation Realm experts would be eligible to wield them. Thus, Ning Fan would not be able to use them for quite a while.

With regards to the three protective amulets, each of them held a Void Fragmentation Realm strike.

If one is conferred the title Ninth Class Force Warrior, they would at most be entitled to three Void Refinement Realm stored attacks.

However, Ning Fan was given the title Eighth Class Immortal Guard and thus, he was granted three Void Fragmentation Realm stored attacks which were extremely useful items to him.

With the stored attack in his Stele of Sun and Moon and the three protective amulets combined, Ning Fan could deliver a Void Fragmentation Realm attack for four times in a row. He certainly would not need to fear even if he faces four Void Pierce Stage experts simultaneously.

He was really satisfied with this string of rewards.

“Go ahead. Assimilate the ancestral blood and break through to the Reckless Devil Realm in one single attempt!”

Immoral Emperor Mo Zhong’s voice gradually diminished.

All Ning Fan could feel was the sky and earth spinning round and the scene before his eyes changed. In the next second, his consciousness returned to his body.

The rewards that he obtained from the Devil Conferral Summit appeared inside his storage pouch.

Including the time that he spent in taking the tests in the Devil Conferral Summit, he had been staying in seclusion on the seventh floor of the dark golden pagoda for twenty years, which were only equivalent to two months in the external world.

His body was assimilating the three additional droplets of ancestral blood and the single droplet of Mo Luo Blood in him little by little as his ancestral talisman was automatically activated.

He did not say anything but continued to remain in his meditative sitting posture with his eyes close instead. It would be identical to obtaining four million units of essence qi by fully absorbing the four droplets of ancestral blood.

His royal grade devil bloodline was slowly advancing towards the ancestral grade.

The five million units of essence qi he originally had were gradually rising to the mark of nine million units.

As for his ancient devil cultivation level which had been stuck at the Peak Jade Blood Realm, it literally broke through to the Early Reckless Devil Realm after he had completed the tests in the Devil Conferral Summit and it was progressing towards the middle stage of that cultivation level.

Ning Fan consumed ten pellets of Revered Devil Pills. As their medicinal power spread throughout his body, his cultivation level began to rise and stabilize.

One day passed. Two days went by... Another ten long years elapsed inside the dark golden pagoda.

In the external world, three whole months had gone by and Ning Fan completely assimilated the four droplets of ancestral blood. Currently, there were nine million units of essence qi accumulating inside Ning Fan’s three hundred golden orifices.

At this moment, Ning Fan suddenly rose to his feet. His essence qi shook heaven and earth. The massive aura force that he gave off was even much stronger than that of a common Mid Void Refinement Realm expert!

Undoubtedly, his ancient devil cultivation level had achieved the Mid Reckless Devil Realm!

The Mid Reckless Devil Realm corresponded to the Void Inquiry Stage but a Mid Reckless Devil Ream expert was far stronger than an ordinary Void Inquiry Stage expert!

Having this cultivation level, Ning Fan could travel without hindrance in the Rain World unless he meets Void Fragmentation Realm experts!

The nine million units of essence qi in him were more than enough to push his cultivation level to the Mid Reckless Devil Realm. Moreover, he was just one million units of essence qi short from attaining the Late Reckless Devil Realm.

Essence qi and magic power were different in nature. However, an outsider would not be able to tell the difference by just looking at one’s qi. Unless they were also ancient devils who cultivated essence qi, no one would find out that Ning Fan was at the Mid Reckless Devil Realm. They would at most think him as a Mid Void Refinement Realm expert!

As for his devil bloodlines, they had also broken through to the ancestral grade. Since he possessed four droplets of ancestral blood, none other than the nine great devil ancestors would have an innate potential in devil cultivation that surpassed his!

“It’s time to settle some scores with those devil spirits...” Ning Fan’s eyes were cold and indifferent. The fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits in the Mist Horn Broken World were no longer worth his consideration!

He could directly kill the seven Void Glimpse Stage beings among them in an instant!

As for the other seven Void Inquiry Stage beings of the group, he probably would not need to spend much effort to deal with him.

He descended the seventh floor of the pagoda in flight and arrived at the fourth floor. Su Yan who had been staying on that floor had already healed all of her wounds.

Three months might have passed in the external world but it was only four years on the fourth floor.

Su Yan had always been worried about Ning Fan throughout the past four years.

When Ning Fan’s devil blood was triggered in the past which greatly weakened his power, his face was too ghastly to look. Su Yan was very afraid that he might die inside the pagoda just like that.

When the members of her own clan betrayed her, it was Ning Fan who saved her. She could not describe the feeling she felt for him with words but she just did not want to watch him die.

When Ning Fan appeared on the fourth floor in one piece, joy filled her heart. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief but her expression still remained neutral.

“Are your injuries fully healed? Hmm? Your qi... How can it be so strong now?! This is... the Void Inquiry Stage qi! You’ve broken through to the Void Inquiry Stage!? How is this possible?!”

Su Yan wore a look of amazement. She had never been so shocked for her entire life. There was no way she could be wrong. Ning Fan’s qi was definitely at the Void Inquiry Stage!

When she heard that Xi Mo had attained the Void Inquiry Stage, she might also be surprised but she clearly was not as surprised as how she was now. It was because Xi Mo was a Peak Void Glimpse Stage cultivator in the first place and he could break through to the Void Inquiry Stage at any time.

Ning Fan, on the other hand, was different. He might have incredible strength. His notoriety might be widespread. However, every cultivator in the internal sea knew that he was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator...

A Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator had achieved the Void Inquiry Stage in one single attempt. It was Su Yan’s first time in her life encountering such an unbelievable incident.

“Devil Concubine Su, I’ll take you away with me. Are you fine with it?”

Ning Fan did not give her any explanation about his sudden improvement in his cultivation level. The Reckless Devil Realm was an extremely big and serious matter. It was not a wise decision to tell her about it.

“Alright!” Su Yan nodded. She did not refuse Ning Fan’s offer.

She had known a lot of secrets about Ning Fan. Perhaps only becoming his devil concubine and following him everywhere he goes could set his mind at rest.

“From today onwards, I’m yours. I no longer have anything to do with the Mist Horn Clan!” Su Yan spoke with resolve.

Ning Fan stared deeply into her eyes. Before coming to the Mist Horn Clan, he had never expected that he would abduct the clean leader of the Mist Horn Clan.

But things turned out to go his way. The Mist Horn Clan collapsed itself. Because they tried to murder Su Yan, they let Ning Fan have a devil concubine for free. Their actions, in fact, gave Ning Fan the opportunity to take a huge advantage of them.

“Let’s go! The mere fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits were audacious enough to pursue and hunt me down. Now, I shall teach them a lesson using their own blood.”

Ning Fan wrapped his arm around Su Yan’s waist and activated his Yuan Yao Jade. Both of them disappeared from the Yuan Yao World in the next moment and returned to the Mist Horn Broken World.

On the bank of the Devil Mist Pond in the broken world, a bunch of dim-witted devil spirits were standing guard. They had been watching over the pond for three months.

However, they still had yet to see any sign of Ning Fan and Su Yan coming out of the Yuan Yao World after all these months.

The leader of the fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits, Qian Gui, put on an extremely impatient look on his face. If it wasn’t for eliminating Su Yan, he would not have such patience to wait for anyone beside the bank of the Devil Mist Pond.

“Lord Qian Gui, if that brat and Su Yan don’t plan to come out for their entire lifetime, are we going to spend the rest of our lifetime waiting for them here?” One of his subordinates asked.

“O-Of course, we’ll continue to wait!”

Qian Gu gnashed his teeth and raised his head inadvertently. He looked at the layers of clouds that were summoned by the heavenly tribulation with deep fear in his eyes.

After Ning Fan had gone inside the Yuan Yao World, the abnormal phenomenon in the sky gradually turned into the tribulations clouds.

Qian Gui could tell that Ning Fan must be cultivating inside the Yuan Yao World and have broken through to a certain cultivation level. That’s why the heavenly tribulations were triggered.

“That brat is just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator before he hid himself inside the small chiliocosm. Don’t tell me that he actually managed to break through to the Void Refinement Realm in there. However, so what if he really breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm? He at most will be a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator with an unstable cultivation base after he just achieves the breakthrough. There is nothing about him to be feared at all. As long as he dares to take a step outside his chiliocosm, he will certainly die!”

Qian Gui muttered to himself. He could not wait to immediately tear Ning Fan to shreds and end this painful and endless wait.

Just as his voice fell, the layers of tribulation clouds in the sky were destroyed abruptly.

Then, a frightening devil might that caused a tremor to heaven and earth spread out from the depths of the Devil Mist Pond.

“What happened? Why is there such formidable devil power coming from within the Devil Mist Pond?!”

Qian Gui’s eyes widened with shock. The devil might was too terrifying. Even though he was a Void Inquiry Stage devil spirit, he also felt rather hard to breathe under the pressure of the devil might. His devil blood had nearly gone out of control...

He could not imagine why there would be such frightening devil might inside the Mist Horn Broken World.

Since he, a devil spirit with Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base, was already unable to withstand the pressure of the devil might, all the other Void Glimpse Stage devil spirits were in more awful conditions. Their faces flushed red and their qi became chaotic.

As for some Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits, they were literally forced to prostrate on the ground by the pressure of the devil might. They did not even have the power to stand on their feet at all.

As for the Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm devil spirits, they directly passed out under the influence of the devil might. Besides, many Gold Core Realm devil spirits were killed by the devil might with blood oozing out from the seven openings of their heads...

How terrifying that devil expert was who released this devil might. Just a wave of his devil might could knock out millions of Gold Core Realm devil spirits!

The fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits including Qian Gui stared at the Devil Mist Pond in disbelief.

The pond which occupied tens of thousands of hectares parted, forming a dry gap in the middle.

Then, a young man in white robes flew out of the pond with a devil-horned beautiful woman in his arm.

He trod in the sky and each step he made on the hollow air could shatter the vast sky time after time!

This young man was none other than the individual who released that overwhelming strong devil might!

As soon as Qian Gui and the other thirteen Void Refinement Realm experts saw the young man’s appearance, they found it even harder to believe.

That young man with a terrifying devil might was Ning Fan!

“He has broken through to the Void Inquiry Stage! This cannot be possible! This definitely cannot be possible!”

Countless devil spirits emitted a cry of disbelief. There were even three Void Glimpse Stage devil spirits who charged directly at Ning Fan with their deadliest attacks, attempting to test out the authenticity of his power.

“Don’t act rashly!” Qian Gui shouted, trying to stop them. However, it was already too late. The three Void Glimpse Stage devil spirits were already close to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan glanced at them indifferently with a hint of cold light flickering in his eyes.

“I’ve returned. You all can die now.”

*Bang*

By just pushing out one of his palms, the one hundred and eight palm imprints of Execution Devil Palm covered the vast sky.

The palm imprints landed on the three Void Glimpse Stage devil beings. Before the three of them could react, the devil armors on their bodies were completely broken and their physical bodies literally disintegrated!

Facing with the palm imprints, the three Void Glimpse Stage devil beings perished instantly without being able to retaliate at all!

In fact, that palm attack was powerful enough to kill any devil spirits in this place, including those at the Void Inquiry Stage in a single hit!

*Hiss*

When the smoke and dust scattered, Ning Fan was already grabbing the primordial spirits of the three Void Glimpse Stage cultivators in his hands. He tossed them into his mouth, chewed them to pieces and swallowed them down his abdomen to digest their power.

All devil spirits who witnessed that scene were scared half to death. Dead silence fell upon the atmosphere, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing!

Those were three Void Refinement Realm old monsters. And Ning Fan could actually instantly kill three individuals of such powerful level with a single palm...

At this moment, everyone realized that waiting to kill Ning Fan on the bank of the Devil Mist Pond was the biggest mistake of their entire lives.

What they had been waiting for all this while was not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered but a savage malefic devil lord!

Qian Gui could not calm down his rapid heartbeat. There was only fear lingering in his eyes as he was looking at Ning Fan.

“Why?! Why a mere Su Yan could get such a powerful individual to help her. I don’t believe it. This isn’t true!”

...

Meanwhile, the abnormal phenomenon in the Devil World gradually dissipated. The phenomenon that had lasted for three months surprised countless members of the devil race.

They were now aware that a devil cultivator with the royal grade bloodline was born. All the devil sovereigns of the Devil World wanted to find that person even if they had to deploy all of their forces and recruit him!

However, no one knew that Ning Fan had not only attained the royal grade bloodline but also advanced the level of his bloodline to the ancestral grade.

They were bound to have no idea about it because the ancestral devil bloodlines were immeasurably powerful. Even the devil statues of the nine great devil ancestors were unable to measure the power of the ancestral blood.

If they find out that Ning Fan’s devil bloodlines were not at the royal grade but the ancestral grade instead, they would certainly be even more insane.

The eight sovereigns of the Devil World began the search across the entire Devil World in order to find the person who attained the royal grade devil bloodline. However, it was clearly impossible that they would find the person they were looking for.

Ning Fan achieved the breakthrough in the Rain World. Thus, conducting their search in the Devil World was just similar to finding one’s sword in the river by following the mark on his boat. The sun would set in the east if they managed to find him.

Moksha Sovereign was the only devil sovereign who did not go looking for Ning Fan.

From the beginning until now, he still could not get the image of that white-robed young man out of his mind.

It looks familiar, too familiar, just like the stubborn young kid I met in the Seven Apricot City in the past...

But there is certainly no way this can be possible. That young kid was just at the Harmonious Spirit Realm and it has only been several ten years since I met him last time. Even if that young man obtains all Old Devil’s knowledge and skills, it’s impossible for him to achieve the royal grade devil bloodline in such a short period of time...

“Your Majesty, did you summon me?” In the Nirvana Palace of the Devil World, Moksha Sovereign was sitting on his throne and a burly man who looked like a zombie was standing in front of him. No one knew since when that zombie-looking man had arrived.

The burly man’s age was just three thousand and seven hundred years old. Even so, he already attained the Void Inquiry Stage. He was one of the ten great devil generals under Moksha Sovereign.

“Mm. The reason I summoned you is to assign you to kill someone in the Rain World.”

“Going to the Rain World to kill someone?” The zombie-looking burly man said in surprise.

“Are you reluctant to go?” Moksha Sovereign’s brows knitted together, expressing his displeasure. The burly man immediately fell to his knees and explained in a fearful tone with all his sincerity.

“If Your Majesty gives the order, this subordinate will never be so bold to defy. However, if I need to enter the Rain World, I must obtain approval from the Rain Palace. Even if the Rain Palace agrees to let me enter the Rain World, they won’t possibly allow me to kill someone in their territory. Once I take someone’s life in the Rain World, the Rain Palace might hold Your Majesty responsible according to the ‘Agreement Between the Nine Worlds’.”

“Rest assured. I will give you a ‘Sovereign Execution Token’. With this token, you can kill one person in the Rain World. As long as you don’t kill the second person, you won’t go against the agreement and the Rain Palace won’t hold you accountable.”

“Sovereign Execution Token!?”

The burly man’s eyes were filled with shock. A Sovereign Execution Token was a precious item. With this token, one could kill anyone in other lower-ranking worlds without being held guilty.

A Sovereign Execution Token usually was used for eliminating the traitors that had escaped to the other worlds from their original world.

For example, if a traitor of the Devil World flees to the Rain World, the devil sovereign of the Devil World would then send someone to that world with the Sovereign Execution Token to execute that traitor.

There was a limited number of Sovereign Execution Tokens. Commonly, the tokens would only be used to kill the significant traitors who were at the Void Refinement Realm or above.

Since Moksha Sovereign had used the token, the burly man could tell that the person whom the Moksha Sovereign wanted dead was at least a Void Refinement Realm old monster.

Moreover, Moksha Sovereign placed a huge importance on this matter as he even assigned the mission to him in person. That being so, it made it even more impossible that the person he needed to kill was just a simple and ordinary man.

“I wonder who Your Majesty wants me to kill.”

“Kill him! There is a trace of his qi here. He left this when he injured me in the past. When you enter the Rain Palace, seal this qi into the Sovereign Execution Token. As long as the token has his qi, no matter where he goes or hides himself, the token will be able to locate him. When you find him, just kill him...”

Moksha Sovereign flicked a black token and a Harmonious Spirit Realm qi to the burly man.

As the burly man realized that the qi of the person whom he needed to kill was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator, he felt confused and asked.

“Your Majesty, the person you want this subordinate to kill is just... a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator?”

It was beyond his imagination.

Could a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator really injure Moksha Sovereign? And that Harmonious Spirit Realm junior could actually worry Moksha Sovereign so much that he asks me who is one of his top ten devil generals to get rid of him personally?

“Are you doubting me?” Moksha Sovereign frowned.

“No! How will this subordinate be so impudent?! Your Majesty, please be rest assured. He’s just a lowly Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. This subordinate surely won’t let you down!”

“Mm. Dismiss.”

After Moksha Sovereign ordered the burly man to leave, he closed his eyes as if he was sleeping. Only he was left in the huge palace as he muttered to himself.

“The King Devil with royal grade bloodlines certainly cannot be him... He is just an ant, just like Han Yuanji. They are worthless trash. But why will I feel so uneasy...?”
