Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Striking Awe Into One Hundred Sects (4)

Dear readers, the upload for today will be paused for one day so that I can finish up the two s. It will be resume tomorrow. I’m still struggling to get enough time to maintain a daily schedule at the moment. Stay tuned.

When Marquis You Gui saw Ning Fan deliver a Void Fragmentation Realm attack at him, he immediately turned around and fled without any hesitation.

His usual gloomy expression had turned into that of surprise at this very moment. Even though he was an Absolute Void Stage old monster, it was still impossible for him to withstand this Void Fragmentation Realm without suffering any injuries!

“What the hell?! This man is clearly just a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator. Why would he have a Void Fragmentation Realm strike for self-preservation?!”

Marquis You Gui’s travelling light moved extremely fast. However, that Void Fragmentation Realm attack was much faster.

The jade slip which stored the Void Fragmentation Realm attack was left by the Mist Horn Clan’s ninth generation ancestor. It was an ancient fiendgod technique of the wind and wood elements.

This magic technique produced a green giant’s shadow. That giant was one million zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall. Its height made it look like it was carrying the sky and there were thousands of arms on its body. All of them then performed a hand seal at the same time.

In an instant, the air seemed to have stopped moving while the snow no longer fell from the sky. The chants of devil scriptures in the surroundings had also ceased.

At this moment, the gigantic shadow made a roar. And at the same time, an extremely immense sense of danger washed over Marquis You Gui.

“This is bad!”

The hollow space around him was sealed. This kind of sealing technique was different from Ning Fan’s Heaven Sealing Technique as it sealed off the entire hollow space!

In the next instant, countless green wind dragons appeared in the snowy sky. They surrounded Marquis You Gui’s body and instantly turned into a tornado of tearing astral wind.

“Heaven Wrathful Mist Dragons!”

*Chi* *Chi* *Chi*

The sound of countless wind blades slicing a person’s flesh could be heard from within the tornado of astral wind. Other than the sound of the wind blades, there were also the occasional groans from Marquis You Gui.

Each of the cultivators surrounding the jade platform were stunned with their jaws hanging wide.

When Marquis You Gui forcefully charged at Ning Fan, they thought that he would be strong enough to eliminate him with a single move. However, they never expected that Ning Fan would send out a Void Fragmentation Realm attack, driving Marquis You Gui who was an Absolute Void Stage expert into a dire situation.

The immense force of the Void Fragmentation Realm attack had caused a tremor to the Northern Cold Country and the sea domain within the vicinity of several million li* (500m per li).

For the majority of cultivators in the audience seats, it really was the first time in their lifetimes witnessing such terrifying force!

“Is this the destructive power of a Void Fragmentation Realm attack?! It’s just too scary!”

Countless old monsters shivered in fear. If they were the ones who received the Void Fragmentation Realm attack, perhaps none of them would be able to survive.

No one knew for sure whether or not Marquis You Gui could withstand that attack…

“Silly younger brother, aren’t you afraid of exposing your trump cards when you delivered such a powerful attack…? Without this elder sister’s protection, you are still pretty unrestrained and even quite unconventional.” Luo You teased inside Ning Fan’s mind.

“It’s the right time to use the Void Fragmentation Realm attack right now. However …”

Ning Fan’s eyes gazed into the torn sky in the distance, staring at the giant’s shadow and the astral wind that were slowly dissipating.

His brows were drawn together. He had a feeling that the Void Fragmentation Realm attack was still not enough to kill Marquis You Gui.

Sure enough, when the astral wind disappeared, Marquis You Gui appeared in the sky. He was covered with blood and had eyes still filled with lingering fear.

He indeed survived the attack. Sounds of discussions immediately filled the surroundings!

“Oh my god! That was a Void Fragmentation Realm attack and Marquis You Gui was actually able to withstand such a formidable attack!”

“Shhh. He is Marquis You Gui. He used to be a Void Fragmentation Realm expert before he suffered injuries which caused his cultivation base to regress. It isn’t strange for him to withstand that Void Fragmentation Realm attack… However, judging from his current condition, it was certainly not easy for him to withstand that attack…”

“Look! The thing Marquis You Gui is wearing on his body, isn’t that spiritual armor?! Since that spiritual equipment could even withstand a Void Fragmentation Realm attack, it must be at the Profound Divinity Grade!

“However, Zhou Ming is truly too scary. He can casually throw out a Void Fragmentation Realm attack with a wave of his hand. Only an Absolute Void Stage expert like Marquis You Gui would be able to withstand such an attack. For cultivators like us, there is certainly no way we can withstand it…”

At this moment, Marquis You Gui’s chest was wearing a chain mail that was dark blue like water.

This set of armor was called Heavenly Ghost Armor. It was a Low Rank Profound Divinity Grade that Marquis You Gui had refined when he was at the Void Fragmentation Realm. Its defensive power was extremely formidable.

However, even though the Heavenly Ghost Armor was a Low Rank Profound Divinity spiritual equipment, that Void Fragmentation Realm attack still managed to leave some cracks on it.

If it wasn’t for this armor, Ning Fan would certainly have severely injured Marquis You Gui with that one attack.

At this moment, although Marquis You Gui was injured, his injuries were not fatal.

“What a sturdy spiritual armor…” Ning Fan frowned.

Little did he know that Marquis You Gui was incensed when he realized that his Heavenly Ghost Armor had cracks after receiving the attack from him.

The fury inside him was even more intense than the time he witnessed Elder Yin Lei die a violent death!

“Zhou Ming, how dare you damage my Heavenly Ghost Armor?! How dare you!!?”

Marquis You Gu exploded with rage and performed his hand seals violently. All of a sudden, countless void rifts of void in heaven and earth which turned into tens of thousands of ghost eyes.

He was sure that it would be impossible for Ning Fan to possess another jade slip which stored a Void Fragmentation Realm attack. Therefore, he was bold enough to deliver the finishing blow to Ning Fan.

Each of the void ghost eyes in the hollow space contained a sword light that emanated immense ghost qi.

There were one hundred thousand void ghost eyes in total. In other words, there were one hundred thousand rays of void sword light. It was the technique which made Marquis You Gui famous when he was at the Void Fragmentation Realm in the past – Minor Void Sword!

Unfortunately, its current destructive power was not even one-tenth of its original power. In the past, Marquis You Gui could summon at least one million ghost eyes.

“Minor Void Sword! This Zhou Ming is dead for sure! Even if I came with my true body, it would also be difficult for me to withstand this technique. Unless Zhou Ming still has another jade slip that contains a Void Fragmentation Realm attack. But… this is impossible. The creation of every Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip will cost the Void Fragmentation Realm expert a great amount of his energy. The Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip that Zhou Ming used just now is probably something he discovered by luck. And the probability of him getting another Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip is almost zero!”

The astonishment on King Lan Ling’s face receded. He once again displayed a disdainful look at Ning Fan.

The cultivators of every sect including King Lan Ling already thought that Ning Fan would not have a second Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip.

Moreover, as long as Ning Fan did not have that to protect himself, he certainly would not be able to withstand Marquis You Gui’s attack relying solely on his Void Inquiry Stage power. This was an undeniable truth.

“Since you’ve damaged my Heavenly Ghost Armor, I’ll make you pay with your life! Void Technique – Minor Void Sword!”

*Chi*

Just as Marquis You Gui changed his hand seal, the one hundred thousand ghost eyes fired out their void sword light. Thick ghost qi covered the sky.

Faced with the one hundred thousand void sword light, Ning Fan’s expression remained as calm and tranquil as usual. He lifted his hand to take out a second jade slip and crushed it.

He was aware that he would not be able to withstand Marquis You Gui’s attack relying on his current cultivation base. The only thing he could depend on right now was external items.

It was not an embarrassing thing at all. After all, he obtained the Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips from his own efforts.

The moment the jade slip broke, a wave of Void Fragmentation Realm aura force swept cross a vicinity of a few million li* (500m per li) again. Every cultivator was so surprised that they were at a loss for words.

“How can this be possible?! You actually have another Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip!?” Marquis You Gui roared in disbelief.

His body was already injured in the first place. When Thunder Sovereign defeated him in the past, his cultivation base directly regressed from the Void Fragmentation Realm. His serious injuries had yet to heal although it had been several ten thousand years.

With painstaking efforts, he managed to regain his Absolute Void Stage strength. All he wanted now was to recover his Void Fragmentation Realm strength as soon as possible. Even though he had taken Ning Fan’s attack, the damage he received was still within a tolerable range thanks to his Heavenly Ghost Armor…

However, if he receives the same attack from Ning Fan once more, it would probably harm his foundation. He would not die but the time it would take for him to regain his Void Fragmentation Realm power would be extended infinitely. Under normal circumstances, the probability of Ning Fan possessing two Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips at one time was close to zero. Thus, he thought that Ning Fan would certainly not have the chance to injure Marquis You Gui for the second time!

But how could Marquis You Gui imagine that Ning Fan actually have a second Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip?!

When that jade slip was crushed, the shadow of a giant appeared in the vast sky once again. However, this giant’s shadow was a fiery red one.

This jade slip was left by the fifteenth generation ancestor of the Mist Horn Clan. The skills that ancestor was most proficient in were skills related to the fire element.

The chants of devil scriptures filled the surroundings.

That fiery red giant coldly stared at Marquis You Gui and suddenly lifted one of its fingers to point at him.

“The Great Furnace of Heaven and Earth!”

In the next moment, countless columns of flames appeared out of thin air, surrounding Marquis You Gui. The flames covered an area of ten thousand li* (500m per li) in the vast sky, forming a humongous dark red furnace which trapped Marquis You Gui and his one hundred thousand ghost eyes inside the flames.

Within seconds, the one hundred thousand ghost eyes were incinerated and the one hundred thousand rays of sword light were destroyed!

There were more and more cracks on Marquis You Gui’s Heavenly Ghost Armor. He could not withstand the heat of the great furnace and began wailing his lungs out.

“Why would this happen?! He is merely an ant. How did he get two Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips? How is this possible?!” King Lan Ling slammed the table beside him and rose to his feet in disbelief.

All the cultivators there were as quiet as cicadas in winter. They could not imagine what kind of attack Marquis You Gui had received that made him yell so pathetically.

The shadow of the fiery red giant, the great furnace and the flames occupying the sky eventually vanished as if they had never existed. Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky.

With the protection of his Heavenly Ghost Armor, Marquis You Gui was still alive. However, his injuries got aggravated and his foundation was already damaged… Moreover, his Heavenly Ghost Armor was filled with so many cracks that it looked as if it was going to break apart at any moment.

If he takes another Void Fragmentation Realm attack, his Heavenly Ghost Armor would certainly be destroyed and it would be hard for him not to suffer more severe injuries.

However, he did not believe that Ning Fan was still in possession of such heaven-defying Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips.

“A lowly Void Inquiry Stage ant! How dare you cross me?! You should die! You deserve death!!”

Marquis You Gui’s eyes turned bloodshot. He made a series of hand seals with his ten fingers to perform a secret technique. His weak and crooked body that was giving off black mist suddenly grew taller, turning into an eight thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall giant.

The giant did not have a mouth, a nose nor any other orifice. However, his entire body was filled with strange eyeballs, their number numerous.

All of the eyeballs had a mysterious magatama[1] symbol.

By just looking at that giant of eyeballs, Ning Fan immediately felt dizzy. He nearly fell into an endless illusory technique.

It was an extremely terrifying illusory technique. It was clearly an illusion but the illusory attacks it made seemed extremely real and tangible.

This technique had actually grasped a trace of the profound meaning of ‘True’. If an illusory technique fully becomes ‘true’, Ning Fan would not be able to see through it even if he has his demon and devil eyes!

King Lan Ling’s expression contained dread and fear. As far as he knew, this technique was Marquis You Gui’s strongest technique in the past. Even the Rain Sovereign was unable to break it when he encountered it last time.

“Zhou Ming! Zhou Ming! Zhou Ming! You’ve harmed my foundation and even damaged my Heavenly Ghost Armor. I’m going to fight you… to the death! ‘True Hell Technique’!”

*Roar*

When the giant of eyeballs made a hand seal, countless dark light rays shot out from those ghost eyes. Countless malevolent spirits and ghosts emerged out of thin air in heaven and earth. All of them were created from void power.

In the sky that was filled with terrifying screams and roars, the void power summoned a gigantic evil spirit. As soon as it appeared, it lifted its foot, trying to stomp on Ning Fan’s head.

Just a single footprint of that evil spirit was as large as the entire Northern Cold Country!

The force of the stomp was incredibly close to that of a Void Fragmentation Realm attack!

Ning Fan was slightly taken aback. Even though this evil spirit was an illusion produced by the illusory technique, there was a trace of ‘true’ power that turned that illusion into reality, turning the harmless illusory technique into the deadliest weapon…

In the past, Marquis You Gui must have been a Void Fragmentation Realm expert whose name shook the entire world. This technique was definitely a heaven-defying one.

Even so, it was impossible for Ning Fan to surrender to him!

Ning Fan inhaled deeply and patted his storage pouch. He took out the third Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip and broke it.

All of a sudden, all the cultivators watching the battle suddenly stood up. They just could not believe their eyes.

King Lan Ling who had been maintaining his composure was completely startled.

As for Marquis You Gui who had transformed into a giant of eyeballs, he gnashed his teeth in hatred and let out a discontented roar when he saw Ning Fan’s actions.

“You actually still possess a third Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip… How is this possible?!!!”
