The catastrophe hung in the sky, akin to the apocalypse, as thousands of wind, thunder, and fire tribulations rampaged between heaven and earth, murderous intent soaring to the heavens.

Ancient shouts filled with enmity against divine beings echoed from within the lightning tribulation, audible only to those who could communicate with nature, it was the fury of the heavens.

[Slay the Divine!]

[Slay the Divine!]

The golden-armored gigantic body walked leisurely between heaven and earth, swallowing mountains and rivers whole. With every step, lightning tribulations were shattered; with every punch, the sea of tribulations calmed.

Every moment, lightning tribulation struck the giant’s body, but it couldn’t harm him in the least, only bursting golden light, demonstrating the terrifying power of the giant’s physical defense!

In the eyes of the golden-armored gigantic body, there was an inexpressible anger; he was no ordinary being but Ning Fan, transformed bit by bit into the Eternal True Body after ingesting the God-Shield Divine Fluid!

Previously, Ning Fan had no concept of his Eternal True Body, unaware of which of the many traces to lead with, or what true form to condense.

Now he need not be confused anymore; the God-Extinguishing Shield provided him with a choice.

Upon ingesting the God-Shield Divine Fluid, his divine blood boiled, and suddenly all the traces he cultivated felt organized, unified. After all, the three series of cultivations—Fiendgods, ancient demons, and Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor—were all modeled on divine beings, the Yin Yang they cultivated naturally had the intent of subservience to divine beings. At this moment, influenced by the God-Shield Divine Fluid, they actually compromised directly, reaching a consensus.

This consensus was that if Ning Fan formed the Eternal True Body, it would be a humanoid true form. Furthermore, the form, influenced by the God-Shield, was astonishingly similar to the God-Slaying Giant!

Besides his appearance being that of Ning Fan, the hundred-foot body, golden flame armor, left hand bearing the shield, and other traits were nearly identical to those of the God-Slaying Giant, inherited by Ning Fan’s Eternal True Body!

The Gold Armor Divine Fluid inside Ning Fan continued to be refined!

The world’s rejection of him, therefore, intensified!

On his true form, the golden flames burned, and these flames weren’t entirely from the true form’s armor; many were due to the terrifying heat of the divine fluid, fueling his blood and body, emitting fire!

Since it was Gold Armor Divine Fluid, the temperature was unimaginably more terrifying than that of Silver Armor and Copper Armor Divine Fluid, capable of directly incinerating lower-ranked Immortal Emperors.

If other Immortal Venerable-level divine beings recklessly ingested the God-Shield Divine Fluid, they would likely be burned to ashes, but Ning Fan was different. He could feel a will within the divine fluid—that was the will of the God-Extinguishing Shield before it died, helping its master absorb the power of this divine fluid, suppressing the overly terrifying temperature of the Gold Armor Divine Fluid...

Thus, he was able to calmly refine these divine fluids; even though his body burned, he didn’t feel much pain because all of this was willingly arranged by the God-Shield...

Ning Fan didn’t know why the God-Extinguishing Shield advised him with its death, setting him on this path of divine beings; he could imagine the God-Shield had some concern, but he couldn’t fathom what it was.

As time passed, the lightning tribulations in the sky gradually diminished, shattered completely by Ning Fan.

The golden flames on Ning Fan’s true form grew stronger, his momentum becoming more imposing, his form more solid, clad in armor radiating divine glimmer, conveying an impression of invincibility.

Once all the divine fluids were refined, Ning Fan’s Eternal True Body was fully developed.

In the sky that had been ravaged by nearly ten thousand tribulations, Ning Fan’s hundred-foot true form stood in the air, left hand wielding a magically manifested golden flame shield, clad in golden flame armor, majestic as ancient deities returning to the land.

With the departure of the lightning tribulation, the world returned to peace.

Yet Ning Fan’s heart still held a trace of silence. His spirit sense swept over his towering body, examining each similarity with the God-Slaying Giant, his expression complex...

"This is my... Eternal True Body..."

"We’ve been master and servant for many years, yet I know so little about you. Even today, I only know you are the sixth fragment of the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Destroying Shield... I’ve never even given you a name, not as a shield, but as a servant, as a friend, I owe you a title..."

Bang.

Ning Fan’s true form descended to the ground of the Ten-thousand-year Age Tower, strong force spread, shattering mountains and rivers, proof he hadn’t yet mastered the release and containment of the Eternal True Body’s power.

After all, it had just been developed, requiring much time for adjustment...

In the days that followed, Ning Fan had no mood for cultivation, released the Eternal True Body, casually sitting on the ground, with two jars of wine laid before him.

One jar was for him to drink.

The other, though its seal was opened, was untouched, winds stirred ripples within the jar.

[Is this upper god mad, is he mourning that Heaven-opening Artifact Fragment? Incomprehensible, cannot understand... Losing a mere magical treasure, what’s there to dwell on. No divine beings care about external items...] The Melting Refinement Furnace found this perplexing, its mission was to refine magical treasures for the divine beings of the Ancient Country’s Royal Clan. Though its memory was incomplete due to damages, it vaguely recalled refining Heaven-opening Artifacts for some Fourth Step divine beings in the ancient era.

Yet never did any divine beings grieve for external items, even if those were complete Heaven-opening Artifacts, they wouldn’t.

Ning Fan seemed to be the first... somewhat special divine being it encountered.

At this moment, Ning Fan didn’t activate the gift of Communication with All Things, thus couldn’t hear the heart voice of the Melting Refinement Furnace, even if he heard it, he lacked the mood to respond.

He wasn’t someone who liked to wallow in despair, and despite his heavy heart, he remembered his original intention of entering the Ten-thousand-year Age Tower. The complex emotions with the sudden loss of the God-Extinguishing Shield gradually settled.

He came to cultivate; outside awaited a formidable foe, challenging him.

He had no time... to linger in sorrow...

"Old friend, if I call you Sixth Master, you probably won’t mind... After all, you are the sixth fragment of the God-Extinguishing Shield, ranked sixth, this name is the most fitting among the ones I pondered... Besides this, I considered Shield Master, Destroyer Master, God Master, but they all seemed to lack a touch of intimacy..." Ning Fan took several days to finally think of a name for the departed God-Extinguishing Shield. Only realizing the name came too late for the God-Shield to hear, intensified his sigh.

[My new master apparently isn’t skilled in naming...] The Melting Refinement Furnace found this bewildering, but of course, Ning Fan didn’t hear its murmurs.

"Old friend, safe journey!

Days later, Ning Fan finally set down his empty wine jar, pouring the prepared wine for the God-Extinguishing Shield onto the ground as an offering, releasing a long breath, reallocating his mood.

In the decades that followed, he busied himself with one thing, comprehending the newly developed Eternal True Body and adapting to the amplified power of the Eternal True Body.

Now, within him, all four series cultivations had reached Eternal Immortal Venerable Level, truly achieving balance; observing the Yin Yang perspective for the first time, the Yin side’s three-series cultivation also surpassed the Yang side’s Calamity Blood Cultivation, growing increasingly harmonious.

With the four series cultivations stacked together, even without additional enhancement methods, the total mana within was comparable to the density of a Four Calamity Immortal King, thanks to his mastery of the four series, though challenging, the benefits were enormous as well.

If activating the Eternal True Body, with cultivation soaring, he could exhibit the power comparable to a Five Calamity Immortal King!

Most terrifying was the enhancement in defense.

The foundation of physical defense hadn’t increased much; of course, there was a slight improvement, but that wasn’t the focus of the Melting Refinement Furnace.

The Melting Refinement Furnace seemed more centered on... cultivating Body-protecting Golden Light.

Currently, Ning Fan could trigger Body-protecting Golden Light anytime within, significantly raising physical defense, akin to when he had the God-Extinguishing Shield, using its Body-protecting Golden Light.

The only difference is that now this Body-protecting Golden Light belongs to Ning Fan himself. If he continues to cultivate this light, it could become the Heavenly God Armor, but that is still far, far away...

Without activating the Eternal True Body, and only using the Body-protecting Golden Light, Ning Fan is confident he can withstand all attacks from a Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor, including their self-destruction, without sustaining severe injuries!

If he further activates the Eternal True Body and maximizes the power of the Body-protecting Golden Light, his true body’s defense would be almost like a replica of the God-Slaying Giant back then, capable of defending against most attacks from a Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor!

"I somewhat understand the difference between the Melting Refinement Furnace and the Refining God Cauldron... The Refining God Cauldron enhances defense by focusing on all aspects of the body’s qualities, which is an improvement of the basic attributes; the Melting Refinement Furnace enhances physical defense in a manner similar to Divine Skills, manifesting in forms like the Body-protecting Golden Light and Golden Flame Giant, requiring active activation to be effective. Even if it enhances some physical qualities slightly, it’s merely incidental, not its primary function..."

"The Eternal True Body is a transformation skill; once activated, it can greatly enhance a master’s cultivation and unleash even greater combat power. In the cultivation world, very few Eternal True Bodies possess special abilities. My Eternal True Body seems to belong to a special existence among them..."

Ning Fan activated his Eternal True Body, his body transforming into a hundred-zhang tall figure. With a thought, a flame rune emerged in the center of his giant palm, blazing fiercely.

The rune’s structure is like the character ’回’, but the inner and outer edges of the character are composed of countless tiny ancient symbols. The golden flames burn brightly on the rune, too dazzling to gaze upon directly, as glaring as a miniature golden sun.

The golden flames on the rune do not have a scorching temperature, not even burning mundane grass and wood.

Yet, this rune gives Ning Fan an extraordinary feeling. Somehow, it resonates with the Punishment Force of Slaying Punishment within him...

This rune can only be used when Ning Fan has activated the Eternal True Body, which is necessary as a prerequisite.

This rune is formed by burning the Divine Power within Ning Fan’s body, and creating such a rune consumes an enormous amount of energy, making it unsustainable for frequent use.

The ancient symbols that compose this rune number over a thousand. With Ning Fan’s experience, he couldn’t identify what kind of ancient script it was, nor discern the rune’s ability. Thus, he decided to converse with this Golden Flame Rune to gather some information.

"You are a capability attached to my Eternal True Body, let’s hear it, what is your function?" Ning Fan asked.

[God-slaying, God-slaying...] The rune, possessing a simple mind, answered in straightforward phrases, far inferior to the Melting Refinement Furnace in this regard.

"What does God-slaying mean?"

[Punishment, punishment...] The rune replied.

"And what does punishment mean?"

[God-slaying, God-slaying...]

Oh well, back to square one...

Ning Fan asked the rune dozens of questions repeatedly, but the rune only answered with [Punishment] or [God-slaying], without a third term.

Ning Fan remained speechless, and his expression turned somewhat serious.

Back when he became the Tenth Generation Barbarian God, he had cultivated the Punishment Force of Slaying, a power designed to punish Pluck practitioners, defying levels to impose judgment, incredibly defiant against the heavens.

Since the rune kept mentioning punishment, could it also contain a power akin to Slaying Punishment? If so, it would explain why the rune resonates with his Slaying Punishment Force.

Ning Fan followed the resonance within his body to sense the rune, and gradually, he truly perceived a presence of punishment power from within the rune.

Similar to the Barbaric God’s Punishment Force, yet fundamentally different, seemingly... more advanced than the Barbaric God’s Punishment Force!

The Barbarian Clan is a group that imitates the Divine Spirits, and the Barbaric God’s Punishment Force seems to bear traces of imitating the punishment power within this rune...

God-slaying...

Ancient Kingdom’s God-Destroying...

If this rune’s effect is indeed punishment, could it be a punishment power specifically spawned to target Ancient Deities?

Could it sanction... Ancient Deities?

Though calling it punishment power seems inaccurate, it looks more like a... Power of God Destruction!

Ning Fan had a hypothesis and decided to test it. He extracted the Purple Divine Power from his body and tried to eradicate it with this Golden Flame Rune.

It’s noteworthy that, although this Purple Divine Power was but a sliver, it was incredibly troublesome. Ning Fan employed various methods, yet couldn’t truly expel it from the world...

Surprisingly, once the Golden Flame Rune touched the Purple Divine Power, the Purple Divine Power was directly evaporated, as if meeting a nemesis, vanishing into thin air...

The process was inexplicably effortless and strange...

"Indeed, this rune has a restraining effect on divine power! My hypothesis is likely correct... This is a rune possessing the Power of God Destruction! My Eternal True Body has a unique ability to restrain Ancient Deities? But why does this happen, could it be..."

The Ancient Kingdom’s God-Destroying Shield.

Yes, it must be because of him, the words ’God-Destroying’ in his title are not just for show, they have specific implications.

Perhaps, the God-Extinguishing Shield was initially a punishment instrument of an ancient kingdom, and because he assimilated the God-Extinguishing Shield, there has been a special transformation of Power of God Destruction within his Eternal True Body...

"Without this God-slaying Rune, although my power has surged, at most, I could only tie against Hei Sheng, neither winning nor losing; but with the God-slaying Rune... Perhaps I might stand a chance to disregard the difference in cultivation level and defeat Hei Sheng..."

This is not mere wishful thinking!

Ning Fan has long experienced how defiant against the heavens punishment methods can be. On Mu Island that day, when the Southern Clan’s Quasi-Saint avatar arrived with force, it met its end under his Slaying Punishment of Thirty-Six Mountains...

To execute a Quasi-Saint avatar with a palm strike, how defiant! Even a Second Rank Quasi-Saint like Daoist Wood Pine couldn’t achieve this, but Ning Fan... has done it!

Accomplishing this had nothing to do with cultivation level, but because Ning Fan’s Barbaric God’s Punishment Force was extraordinarily powerful, a terrifying total of Thirty-Six Mountains!

It was sufficient to impose judgment beyond significant cultivation level gaps; otherwise, how could one be termed a Barbarian God, or a leader of Barbarian Saint and Immortal Emperor?

From a power tier standpoint, the God-slaying Rune is a level higher than the Barbarian Clan’s Punishment Force, but regrettably, the amount of Power of God Destruction Ning Fan gained from ingesting the God-Extinguishing Shield isn’t abundant, far from the enormous scale of his Thirty-Six Punishment Mountains as the Barbarian God.

This extent of Power of God Destruction, even if it indeed has a restraining effect on divine spirits, is likely limited. Among divine spirits of the same level, the punishing power might not be substantial...

Of course, if the opposing divine spirit’s divine level falls short of his, perhaps merely a Demigod, punishment might be more accessible, yet it’s uncertain...

Ning Fan has only speculated on two points, without concrete confirmation.

Is Hei Sheng a Demigod?

Can his God-slaying Rune sanction the bloodline of the Royal Clan’s Demigod?

With these two uncertainties, Ning Fan doesn’t dare to guarantee that having the God-slaying Rune ensures he can easily defeat Hei Sheng.

If his guess is wrong, then despite his substantial power increase, he can at best draw against Hei Sheng through a tie, which would be seen as fortunate, for it’s unlike defeating the monster with dignity, at least for now, he lacks the power to decisively overcome Hei Sheng...

"I shouldn’t place all my hopes solely on the Divine Extermination Rune. I should also increase my chances from other aspects."

"Swallowing the God-Shield Divine Fluid doesn’t bring me just benefits, but also drawbacks. At this moment, while my body-protecting golden light increases significantly, the exclusion from heaven and earth I receive is unprecedentedly enormous... No, it’s already inaccurate to say exclusion; at this moment, I’m practically being treated as a number one enemy by heaven and earth, filled with hostility! This hostility, I experienced it in the Rain Immortal World, where I defied the Heavenly Dao, but this time, it’s clearly a multitude more severe; even the mighty force of heaven and earth has been blocked from me. This is because the taboo I committed this time is countless times more severe than when I captured the puppets of the Heavenly Dao... The Divine Spirit Dao is something rejected by heaven and earth, yet the Divine Spirit Dao seems inherently compatible with my Fellow Daoist nature..."

"Heaven’s Rejection of the Cultivation Path, Heaven’s Rejection of the Cultivation Path... This path calls for cultivating the path’s sharpness, not the path’s roundness; does this, in essence, imply... another expression of the Divine Spirit Dao?"

"Those who cultivate the round path become Immortals; those who cultivate the sharp path become Gods... The opposition between Buddha and Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, the opposition between ghost servants and the Barbarian Clan, fundamentally speaking, isn’t it... the opposition between Immortal and God?"

It seemed as though Ning Fan instantly understood many Great Secrets of Heaven and Earth, but upon understanding, he found it somewhat dull.

What does such a Great Secret of Heaven and Earth have to do with him now? It’s more crucial to comprehend the Eternal True Body.

After refining the God-Shield Divine Fluid, the difficulty Ning Fan faced in extracting the mighty force of heaven and earth was more than ten times what it used to be!

This means that when Ning Fan releases his previous divine skills or uses his previous treasures, he needs to consume more than ten times the mana to achieve the same power, resulting in a huge amount of mana being wasted during the duel!

This is achieved only because Ning Fan comprehended the power to borrow from heaven and earth.

If he hadn’t understood the power to borrow from heaven and earth, with the sin of stubbornly cultivating the Divine Spirit Dao, he would have been completely banned from extracting any mighty force of heaven and earth by the world without spiritual power, which would indeed be troublesome!

Considering that once the Cross Halo is activated, his mana will be in an endless state, Ning Fan won’t be overly concerned about the increased consumption of mana, though he finds it somewhat disagreeable.

Disagreeable with the fact that others impose punishments upon him!

"Heaven wishes to take away my Immortal lifespan and even seal my ability to extract the mighty force of heaven and earth. As expected, once one truly steps onto this path of the Divine Spirit, there’s no turning back."

"Since there’s no turning back, there’s no need to turn back! I have more treasures at my disposal, even though they can’t refine Gold Armor Divine Fluid like the God-Shield, but they can still refine Silver Armor and Copper Armor Divine Fluid. I can still rely on the Melting Refinement Furnace to become even stronger!"

"Let’s see whether my Immortal lifespan is exhausted first, or the constraints of this world are surpassed by relying on the Divine Spirit Dao!"

Ning Fan spent several more millennia to completely consolidate his Eternal True Body.

Afterward, he entered the third Ten-thousand-year Age Tower, began refining other treasures, and consumed divine fluid to cultivate.

He’s never been a person who cherishes treasures, never was; the God-Shield is a special exception, but other treasures rarely make him nostalgic, cherish them, or hold them dear.

Refining them is merely a matter of nonchalance.

Thus, most of the treasures in his storage pouch, except those with special significance, were refined by Ning Fan.

The First Step treasures brought a large quantity of Copper Armor Divine Fluid.

The Second Step treasures brought a large quantity of Silver Armor Divine Fluid.

Acquired Immortal Treasures, Ning Fan doesn’t care; even Innate Lower Grade Treasures, he is not particularly worried about.

The Prison Thunder Rope destroyed by Hei Sheng is useless anyway, just right to refine into a pool of silver liquid.

The Five Poisons Banner, Purification Immortal Cauldron, Black Mountain Bear Ancestor Kasaya, Five Thunders Annihilation Cover, Divine Thunder Mirror, Kaluo Emperor Subduing Demon Bead, Ancient Que Sword, Boundary-Stabilizing Mount Tai... various innate treasures that were more or less dispensable, all were refined by Ning Fan into Silver Armor Divine Fluid, blended within his body!

The higher the rank of Second Step treasures, the more silver liquid they yield.

Using a large number of innate treasures for body refinement, though the quality isn’t as high as Heaven-opening Artifacts, wins out in sheer quantity, providing considerable benefits.

Except for treasures with a specific function, whether Innate Lower Grade or Innate Mid-grade, Ning Fan doesn’t plan to keep extra innate treasures. During the process of refining innate treasures, his body-protecting golden light became more prominent, his Eternal True Body stronger, even surpassing the previous God-Slaying Giant by a few margins!

The third millennium finally also passed.

In the process of refining a huge amount of treasures, Ning Fan lost eight million years of Immortal lifespan, which was the cost of devouring tens of thousands of lower-ranked treasures, hundreds of Acquired Immortal Treasures, and several innate treasures!

During this period of refining cultivation, he lost seventeen million years of Immortal lifespan in total. Although his bone age is only 170,000 years old, thenceforth, the lightning tribulation he faces is already the power faced by a Master of 17 million years.

The weakest of such Masters is the Eternal Immortal Venerable, while the strongest are already Immortal Kings.

That kind of lightning tribulation is still insufficient to intimidate Ning Fan, but if his Immortal lifespan continues to decrease, one day he will face terrifying lightning tribulations that are beyond imagination...

Ning Fan has already prepared his mind for this. Since he has truly set foot on the Divine Spirit path, he won’t waver. Although cultivating the Divine Spirit comes with enormous risks, the advantages are also exceedingly apparent.

Having decided to cultivate the Divine Spirit Dao, he has even developed a bold ambition to gather all four of the divine artifacts.

He has already obtained the Supreme Inversion level Melting Refinement Furnace and the Nine-Reversal Rank Refining God Cauldron; now he just lacks the Vital Essence Gourd and Divine Consciousness Grinding Disc...

In the future, he ought to keep an eye out; if he can find these two divine artifacts somewhere, Ning Fan is confident his strength will surge anew!

Thirty thousand years passed by, Ning Fan rearranged his belongings, repaired the Primordial Thunder Cauldron, and walked out of the Mysterious Yin World once more with a stronger presence, striking with a single punch to send Hei Sheng, who was anxious to rush into the Mysterious Yin World, flying.

Despite not heavily injuring Hei Sheng with one punch, it illustrates that Ning Fan at this moment is much stronger than before entering the Mysterious Yin World!

Previously, he couldn’t blast Hei Sheng away so easily! At this moment, although he’s still not as strong as Hei Sheng, the gap has narrowed significantly!

Subsequently, Ning Fan transformed into his Eternal True Body and with just one punch, stunned Hei Sheng, naturally relying on the stealth of the Divine Extermination Power. Attempting to kill is extremely difficult; Hei Sheng’s vital essence is incredibly formidable...

The only complaint is that Ning Fan’s Divine Extermination Power is limited in quantity; even against Hei Sheng as a demigod, facing this individual presents level suppression, he struggles to inflict substantial damage... Being able to stun him was due to the suddenness of the situation, catching Hei Sheng off guard with a rapid attack on his divine sense using the Divine Extermination Power...

If it hadn’t been sudden, if Ning Fan hadn’t attacked unexpectedly, if Hei Sheng were alerted to the Divine Extermination Power... Ning Fan lacks confidence that he could successfully plot against Hei Sheng with the Divine Extermination Power, winning with a single punch.

This was a victory achieved through unfair means.

But in this battle, fairness was never in question. What does it matter if he won unfairly? What does it matter if he’s arrogant, reckless?!

Dark Clan, Dark Clan!

Afterward, he completely tore open any pretense with the Dark Clan; afterward, he fled towards the lower sky of the Dark Clan...

...

Ning Fan’s gaze remained calm, as if the deafening shouts of pursuit behind him did not exist.

Opening his Eternal True Body, he charged through the Dark Clan, and whosoever dared to obstruct him, were all directly struck dead by his Eternal True Body!

Dominant, not caring for any reason, showing no mercy whatsoever!

At this moment, he had already torn open pretense with the Dark Clan; there is no necessity for reason anymore!

For those ordinary Dark Clan cultivators who did not interfere in worldly matters, he could spare them, but for those who dared block his path or attacked him, he showed no mercy to any of them!

Earlier, the battlefield was merely the Dark Continent, not the Great Dark Heaven.

But now, the situation has changed!

"Thief, stop!"

A Quasi-Saint riding a black gourd rushed over with a whistle. Ning Fan did not recognize this person, but he was also a First Order Quasi-Saint. Judging from his previous position, his status should be above that of Dark Tiandou, and his cultivation was slightly stronger than Dark Tiandou.

The speed of that Gourd Quasi-Saint was much faster than Ning Fan, the fastest among the five Dark Clan Quasi-Saints. This was because the gourd he rode was clearly an Innate Treasure. In this way, even the Second-Grade Quasi-Saint of the Dark Clan was slightly inferior in speed, hence he was the first to catch up with Ning Fan!

Black gourd...

Could it be the Vital Essence Gourd artifact?

With a sweep of his spirit sense, Ning Fan discovered that the opponent’s black gourd was just an ordinary Innate Treasure and could not resonate with his Divine Blood, leaving him speechless.

He was wishful in his thinking; having just obtained the second artifact, he wanted to acquire the third artifact... Things don’t happen so conveniently.

"Black Yaw Finger!"

A giant black sun appeared behind, transforming into a gigantic finger that instantly aimed to smash Ning Fan to death.

This Black Yaw Finger was from a First Order Quasi-Saint, its power far superior to the one used by Hei Sheng.

"Divine Sword Annihilates Dao!"

Ning Fan did not even turn his head as he used his True Body Giant Palm to unleash hundreds and thousands of sword marks behind him, slicing into the pursuing giant finger, causing black blood to flow.

However, it was still not enough to directly break the giant finger. After all, it was a Black Yaw Finger used by a Quasi-Saint. Fortunately, after Ning Fan’s attack, the power of the giant finger was greatly diminished, with only one or two parts remaining, falling upon him and engulfing him.

"Hmph! Did it hit? Seems like this kid will lose a layer of skin even if he doesn’t die..."

That Gourd Quasi-Saint was sneering coldly when suddenly his old eyes widened in horror.

It was Ning Fan’s hundred-zhang Golden Body breaking through the black light sea formed by the finger power, coughing up only a small amount of blood, seemingly not severely wounded.

"Impossible! How can a mere Eternal Immortal Venerable withstand my finger and only sustain a light injury!" The Gourd Quasi-Saint was in disbelief, and his killing intent intensified.

If one finger didn’t work, then use ten, a hundred fingers! As long as the attack was effective, he would eventually kill this kid!

He had the Innate Gourd, an Innate Lower Grade Escape Treasure. The boy was fast, but no matter how fast, he couldn’t escape a Quasi-Saint with an Innate Escape Treasure!

"You are not the only one with an Innate Escape Treasure!"

Ning Fan sneered coldly, stomping through the air. Suddenly, a massive dark cloud appeared underfoot.

His Eternal True Body, shining with golden light like a Heavenly God, now stood on the blackly swirling Wuxian Cloud, seeming more like an ancient demon god, infused with evil aura.

The effect of the Wuxian Cloud was to boost speed based on the host’s original speed.

That is to say, the faster Ning Fan was, the faster he would fly using this cloud!

During the Emperorship Ceremony, he had tremendous insight into escape techniques, his speed already defying the heavens. Now using the Wuxian Cloud to increase speed, in just one leap, he widened the gap with Gourd Quasi-Saint by millions of cloud layers.

After a hundred breaths, he completely shook off the pursuit of Gourd Quasi-Saint!

"Impossible! I don’t believe it! How can a mere Eternal Immortal Venerable have an Innate Escape Treasure! To be faster than an old man like me, and he’s not even from the Light Clan!"

"Where are the Emperors? Stop him, don’t let him escape the Great Dark Heaven!"

The Gourd Quasi-Saint, in a frenzy, shouted orders, his voice piercing the clouds and reaching the Nineteenth Heaven, echoing throughout all nineteen skies of the Great Dark Heaven with his roar.

All the Dark Clan cultivators who heard the roar were stunned.

The Quasi-Saint Elder known for his speed, Dark Gourd Immortal, was unable to catch Ning Fan, and instead had to command others to intercept!

Could Ning Fan’s speed be faster than this Quasi-Saint Elder? Faster than all the Quasi-Saint Elders?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Constant roadway blockages were directly smashed by Ning Fan’s rampaging Eternal True Body, blood splattering through the air.

Ning Fan, treading on the black cloud, expanding the shield into a giant to block in front, dashed like a demon god. Be it an Immortal Venerable or Immortal King, none could withstand his collision; each was either killed on the spot or spat blood flying back, all in extreme misery!

In the Dark Continent battle, though the carnage was shocking, only a few knew of Ning Fan’s ferocity. But this time, from the Dark Ancestor down to the common folk, all witnessed Ning Fan’s rampant audacity firsthand.

Even a Quasi-Saint couldn’t capture him!

Neither Immortal Venerables nor Immortal Kings could stop him!

When he wanted to come, he killed his way through the Nineteenth Heaven; when he wanted to leave, even the Ancestors couldn’t keep him!

An explosive message, using various means, spread among all members of the Dark Clan.

The inheritor of the Ancient Chaotic Grand Emperor left because the result of the decisive battle with Hei Sheng was settled!

Inheritor of Ancient Chaos... won!

"Even Master Divine isn’t a match for this inheritor of Ancient Chaos!"

"Damn it! Damn it! This inheritor of Ancient Chaos has plundered countless Immortal Materials from our clan. Now he’s slaughtered recklessly; how can we let him go?"

"Stop him!"

"But we can’t stop him!"

"The Quasi-Saints are in the higher sky, unable to catch this child, who can stop him!"

In the lower sky, the defenders guarding the Key to the Main Gate were anxious when suddenly a reassuring voice reached them.

"Do not panic, youngsters! Our clan’s Immortal Emperors have gathered in the lower sky. If that inheritor of Ancient Chaos arrives, they will surely slay this boor to uphold our clan’s honor!"

It was the confident voice of a team of Immortal Emperors, seething with killing intent!
