Grasping Evil

Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Restoring the Ancestors and Devil Conferral (7)

Ning Fan seemed to have gained some understanding about incarnation. The word “incarnate” actually contained the supreme dictum of multiple transformations.

Some of the old monsters who mastered the incarnation technique could perform transformation and turn themselves into a fly or a flower to hide themselves.

There were also old monsters who could transform into ferocious beasts that granted them strength beyond their original bodies.

The truth was the incarnation technique was a technique that allowed one to change their physical forms.

Ning Fan turning his physical body into nothingness was, in fact, also a change in his physical form.

However, if he just knows about this single type of transformation, he would not be able to defeat the incarnations of the young immortal emperor in front of him.

He took in a breath gently and made a step forward, transforming into a man in black robes. His black hair grew longer and danced in the wind while a demonic mark appeared on the left part of his face.

His expression was cold and there was not a single hint of emotion in him. Then, a trace of sword light flashed across his eyes.

He was unable to steal all nine types of the young Mo Zhong’s transformations.

But he realized that his incarnation already had a type of transformation itself in the first place.

“An incarnation that is developed from the combination of your spirit sense and soul, huh? And, you have even cultivated it to the level of healing yourself using the power of your incarnation. However, if you aren’t proficient in transformations, your ability is going to be slightly weaker... Exterminate!”

The nine giant beasts emitted an indifferent voice at the same time. Then, at the next moment, they all delivered their strongest attack at Ning Fan.

Some of them blasted out columns of flames while some others produced tempest. All of their attacks dashed towards Ning Fan. Each of them was comparable to a desperate attack of a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator.

Ning Fan did not try to evade or hide himself. All he did was just close his eyes.

He made himself forget everything in his mind, including the sound of the wind. It was as if he was no longer him but a sword instead...

“Today, I’ve learnt the transformation technique of incarnation. This will be the first transformation of my incarnation... Sword Blade!”

*Chi*

Just as the nine attacks were about to land on him, his physical body was covered in black mist and he transformed into a black ancient sword which was hanging high in the sky.

The ancient sword broke up again and separated itself into nine black swords that flew towards each of the nine fearsome beasts.

As Ning Fan’s ancient devil cultivation level increased, the level of his spirit sense rose as well and it was on the verge of breaking through to the Void Inquiry Stage.

Even though the destructive power of the nine black swords were slightly weaker than that of the nine ferocious beasts, their aura force was much stronger than the latter group.

It was because his entire body had turned completely into a sword. He abandoned his defense and other transformations and put it all into his attack power. On top of the aura force of the nine swords, there was even the resolve to perish together with his enemy, which was not something the nine beasts could compete.

*Bang*

The attacks from the two groups crashed into each other. The nine ferocious beasts were inflicted with countless cuts after being slashed and pierced by the sword light. Moreover, one of the beasts was literally killed.

As for the nine black swords that Ning Fan transformed into, none of them was broken but three of them were full of cracks.

It was hard to tell who won and who lost in this confrontation.

The nine swords and the eight beasts charged towards each other once more. The force of their collisions caused rolling waves on the sea of blood beneath them.

The group of beasts perished one by one while the black swords also fell apart one after another.

In the end, only a gigantic python was left of all nine ferocious beasts and only one sword was not broken of the nine black swords.

The gigantic python which Mo Zhong transformed himself into coiled itself around the sword and spat out venomous liquid from its mouth, attempting to corrode the black sword.

The last black sword did not move or evade and it let the venomous liquid to wear its body away without even defending itself at all.

It gathered all of its essence qi at its tip. With an abrupt slash, it cut the giant python’s body into two!

*Puke*

The young Mo Zhong undid his incarnation. His nine great incarnations were all destroyed and it injured himself quite severely.

Ning Fan who was in the form of his only half-broken sword also removed his incarnation wearily. His qi looked rather weak and feeble.

Logically speaking, Mo Zhong’s incarnation should be much stronger than Ning Fan’s.

However, the incarnation that Ning Fan transformed himself into was a defenseless sword that just focused on attacking. The desperate means he used had managed to suppress Mo Zhong’s aura force and cut down all nine of his incarnations.

Mo Zhong’s black eyes became solemn. He knew very well that he definitely did not have an aura force as strong as Ning Fan’s when he was at the Early Reckless Devil Realm.

Before attaining the Void Fragmentation Realm, his journey was smooth and peaceful and he did not face many difficulties. As he did not have many opportunities to experience life and death killings, there was no way his aura force could match Ning Fan’s.

Ning Fan, on the other hand, had been through dire straits and experienced lots of bloody scenes. They equipped him with the hardcore personality of going to extremes. Transforming himself into a fully offensive gigantic sword suited his style.

During the last moment in particular, Ning Fan rather cut the giant python in two although it caused himself to suffer grievous injuries. At that moment, he even ran the risk of getting himself completely eroded by the venom if his sword light was a little slower...

“There’s no way I can compare myself to this young man’s extreme personality... But the fight isn’t over yet!”

Mo Zhong took out a gentle breath and raised a finger. Traces of golden devil flames spiraled around it, making it look like a golden ring.

He pointed at Ning Fan and that ring was shot out from his finger, forming into a massive ring of flames. It looked like a fire ring of a giant.

Multiple circles of flames that looked like rings surrounded Ning Fan, trapping him in the middle among them. There were one hundred and eight layers in total.

Each of the flame circles was powerful enough to burn a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator to death.

Ten flame circles would be able to kill a Void Inquiry Stage expert while one hundred of them were capable of killing a Void Pierce Stage expert!

The young Mo Zhong changed his hand seals and channeled his essence qi into the flames. The destructive power of the golden flames rose sharply and all of the rings began to shrink towards the middle.

“Void Technique, Flame Ring Technique!”

Ning Fan took in a deep breath. This technique was actually a High Grade Mortal Void Devil Martial Art. Apart from that, it was a somewhat unique technique among all techniques of the same grade.

Mo Zhong could kill common Void Pierce Stage experts using this Flame Ring Technique.

If it were to be any other cultivator at the Second Level of the Golden Body Realm in the circles, they would certainly be unable to withstand 108 layers of fire rings!

But Ning Fan was different!

A vortex of fire rose on the center of his palm and a massive suction force came from the vortex. Through his right eye, he was crazily imitating Mo Zhong’s technique.

Standing in the layers of golden fire rings, Ning Fan was completely unscathed. As for the golden fire rings, they immediately started to tremble as soon as Ning Fan cast his eyes on them.

The flames were trembling because in the eyes of the flames, the current Ning Fan was like the king of all flames!

Ning Fan took a step forward and the sea of flames suddenly parted for him from the middle. The Flame Ring Technique was neutralized itself without needing him to attack them!

Then, Ning Fan activated the Fire Plucking Technique to its full potential. Using the power of his Stele of Sun and Moon, he absorbed every last spark of Mo Zhong’s golden flames into his Yin Yang Locket.

“This is... Luan Gu’s Fire Plucking Technique! I’ve just made a mistake. I didn’t expect that you would have the Yin Yang Locket...” The young Mo Zhong recognized that technique and his brows tightly knitted together.

Moments later, Ning Fan activated his black devil flames and nine black dragons fused together with the golden flames. Then, he pointed at Mo Zhong in return, doing the exact same actions which the latter had done before.

“Void Technique, Flame Ring Technique!”

The first 108 fire rings were returned to Mo Zhong.

At the same time, Ning Fan summoned another 108 black fire rings.

Mo Zhong was stunned as he was surrounded by 216 fire rings. He bit off the tip of his tongue without hesitation and hurled his palm to disperse multiple fire rings. After that, he used some kind of defensive secret technique, trying to get out from the sea of flames forcefully.

Ning Fan had predicted that Mo Zhong would choose to back off from the flames instead of taking them head-on.

Thus, he waved his palm and the sea of flames suddenly turned into a gigantic fire palm that slammed on Mo Zhong’s back.

“Void Technique, Samadhi Fire Palm!”

The fire palm came too abruptly. It was completely beyond Mo Zhong’s expectation. Without putting on any guard, he was struck in the back by the fire palm and his injuries instantly worsened.

After expending a strenuous effort to escape from the sea of flames, he stared at Ning Fan who was standing above the flames with some lingering fear within him.

Although he had noticed that Ning Fan cultivated the Yin Yang Transformation, he did not expect that the latter would possess the Yin Yang Locket.

Luan Gu’s Yin Yang Locket was an extremely precious emperor treasure. The Stele of Sun and Moon that was sealed within the locket could restrain all kinds of flames in the world.

In the past, the number of experts and immortal emperors that Luan Gu had killed using the Stele of Sun and Moon was incalculable.

If Mo Zhong had found out that Ning Fan possessed the Yin Yang Locket, he certainly would not have used the Flame Ring Technique.

However, he had to admit that even if Ning Fan did not have the Yin Yang Locket, he could also steal his Flame Ring Technique with ease and block his attacks.

Ning Fan’s technique in controlling flames was particularly profound. It was tempered from his countless times of pill refinement and it was far above the young Mo Zhong’s level.

Playing fire with Ning Fan was nothing but an action to bring trouble to himself.

The young Mo Zhong regulated his essence qi to suppress his injuries. After that, his body gradually released the aura force of a sovereign being.

A trace of sovereign qi started to appear on his fists. Every fist he threw could smash mountains and rivers to pieces.

He moved one step forward and activated the sovereign qi with unmatched attack power in his fist to display the Execution Devil Palm.

Ning Fan had already learnt this technique during his second test. However, he did not know that he could infuse the technique with his sovereign qi.

He also brought out the sovereign qi inside his body to display the Execution Devil Palm.

Both of them sent out 108 layers of palm imprints that were infused with sovereign qi successively and their attacks clashed over and over again. The physical body of the young Mo Zhong was not any weaker than Ning Fan. However, after fighting each other for hundreds of rounds, he still could not gain the upper hand against him.

Mo Zhong then released traces of essence qi that formed into devil mountains which descended upon Ning Fan’s head.

Despite that, it did not affect Ning Fan’s momentum at all. Without much effort, he crushed countless devil mountains. He took another step forward. Two golden shadows of the Concept of Self emerged behind him and sneaked up behind Mo Zhong’s back.

The two golden shadows which were just at the First Level of the Golden Body Realm could not draw a lot of Mo Zhong’s attention. It did not take him a lot of effort to get rid of the two of them with a technique. However, despite their insignificance, they still successfully diverted a small part of Mo Zhong’s attention.

At the same time while he was dealing with the golden shadows, Ning Fan released his devil might that was imbued with killing qi which distracted him even more.

Ning Fan then seized that moment and grabbed one of Mo Zhong’s wrists. As he applied his essence qi, he literally squashed the latter’s wrist bones as well as his entire arm, incapacitating one of his arms!

Without giving Mo Zhong a chance to treat his wounds, Ning Fan extended his five fingers and bent them like a claw to display the Moon-Tearing Dragon technique. His claw ripped off five rays of moonlight which were as heavy as Mount Tai and left five bloody lacerations on Mo Zhong’s chest which were so deep that his bones were visible.

*Puke*

The young Mo Zhong lost an arm and took a direct blow on his chest. His injuries intensified, shattering his essence qi. He stared at Ning Fan in shock with a faint look of defeat on his face.

When he saw Ning Fan directly charge at him without giving him any time to breathe, he bit his teeth and the power of his intent realm gushed out from him like a tidal wave.

“The Seal of Dawn Light!”

The was a golden intent realm that was as dazzling as the sun. Mo Zhong spread out the light rays vastly like the ocean, forming an ocean of light which trapped Ning Fan within.

“A technique of intent realm, huh?”

Ning Fan felt astonished but he was not surprised.

It was a smart move as Mo Zhong used his intent realm technique to hold Ning Fan off when his essence qi was shattered in order to buy some time to regain his strength.

If Ning Fan was not mistaken, Mo Zhong’s intent realm should be the intent realm of dawn light which was the first ray of light during daybreak.

While immersing himself in the ocean of light, Ning Fan only felt that all of his magic power and essence qi were no longer within his control. All of them were gradually sealed off by the light ocean.

The only thing he could still muster was the power of his memory intent realm.

Mo Zhong’s intent realm of dawn light was quite powerful. It should be a First Grade Devil Intent.

Ning Fan’s intent realm, however, was much stronger as it was an intent realm of the Second Step!

Light could be replaced by darkness but memory could never be erased.

Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with a trace of black cold qi. Pieces of black snowflakes began falling everywhere in the ocean of light.

A trace of samsara power flickered across his eyes while a strand of memories and stubbornness filled his heart.

It was the determination of freezing everything! If samsara seizes the final trace of warmth that Ning Fan had, then he had no remorse in freezing the entire samsara!

“Wind Snow Finger, Freezing Samsara!”

*Freezing Sound*

Parts and parts of the ocean of golden light were frozen.

In an instant, the entire ocean was turned into a humongous black ice!

When Ning Fan gently lifted his finger, the ocean of light which was completely frozen suddenly broke up into countless pieces.

*Puke*

The young Mo Zhong felt a sharp pain in his Sea of Consciousness as his intent realm technique was broken. He fell back a few steps while coughing out blood incessantly and got down on his knee. He looked at Ning Fan again. This time, the fighting spirit on his expression receded.

He had lost...

“Junior, you’ve passed the third test...”
