Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Quasi-Saint Ghost, Eternal Soul-Devouring Tree!

Although a Half-Step Quasi-Saint is just a slight difference from a Quasi-Saint, that slight difference is like an insurmountable chasm.

At this moment, Ning Fan faces the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree with such a feeling. Although his cultivation is only at the Immortal King level, his combat power can absolutely crush most Half-Saints of the Era of Decline.

Despite this, Ning Fan still feels overwhelmed in terms of momentum when confronting the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree.

The aura of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree sweeps across the entire True Lightning World. Ning Fan handles it well with the Momentum Character Secret, but Aflo and the others are directly pushed far away by the aura, looking rather embarrassed.

"One-fifth of its cultivation can be so powerful? Is this the power of a Quasi-Saint? It’s indeed beyond my current reach...but I hold four major advantages in this battle, there’s still a chance to truly slay this tree!" Ning Fan’s eyes narrow.

The first advantage is that the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree can only use one-fifth of its cultivation.

The second advantage is Ning Fan’s side has numbers on its side.

The third advantage is that the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree’s true form is a tree, cultivating the Great Dao of Wood! Ning Fan’s identity as the Wood Father God holds an absolute restraint over tree-like beings!

The fourth advantage is naturally the Black Evil Sect as a trump card...

With these four major advantages, Ning Fan is still confident in defeating the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, but in the next instant, the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree neutralized one of Ning Fan’s advantages.

"Ancient Demon Lost Arts, Tree Demon Avatars!"

As the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree displayed its Divine Skills, demonic lights burst around it, and within the rising demonic qi, four avatars transformed from wooden figures appeared. These avatars not only looked identical to the original, with the same size, even the emitted aura of cultivation was identical, each having one-fifth of a Quasi-Saint’s cultivation!

"Want to besiege me? Dream on!"

The true form of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree let out a cold snort, and the four avatars immediately charged at Aflo and the others, while its true form advanced toward Ning Fan’s position.

The advantage in numbers no longer existed...

Fortunately, Aflo and the others were no easy opponents. Even when facing a single Tree Demon avatar alone, they could hold their ground, but securing victory would be difficult. Clearly, they were unable to assist Ning Fan anymore.

"A type of ancient demon lost technique involving avatars, this is my first time encountering it. Indeed practical..."

The Eternal True Body manifests!

Ning Fan transformed into a Golden Flame Giant Body, and with a punch of an Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike, he greeted the true form of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree.

However, the bark of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree was that of a Quasi-Saint tree, and Ning Fan’s unachieved combo of Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strikes was akin to tickling for the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree.

"Is this all you’ve got...Demon Art, Leaf Dance Technique!" snorted the true form of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree disdainfully. It was unaware that the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike it underestimated was, in fact, an extremely terrifying Ancient Demon body technique.

Regrettably, due to multiple uses of Illusory Art, Ning Fan’s Heart Spirit had been overly consumed, making it unsuitable for excessive use of the Cross Halo at this time; without the Cross Halo, Ning Fan couldn’t achieve infinite mana, nor could he employ the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike in rapid succession, and would have to seek other means against the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree.

But as the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree shook its crown, millions of sharp Heavenly Demon leaves, akin to flying swords, swept toward Ning Fan. Before his eyes, the sky was filled with Leaf Dance.

The Leaf Dance Technique is a very common low-rank demonic technique within the demon race, equivalent in status to the basic Sword Control Technique of a Sword Cultivator. Although its level is evidently low, when unleashed by the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, its power was enough to instantly kill some weaker Immortal Emperors, indeed astonishing!

Unfortunately, this technique was obviously unsuitable for dealing with Ning Fan.

Wood Command Domain, activate!

As Ning Fan’s domain unfolded, it seemed as if all wood-related auras within the heavens and earth were subject to his command!

The millions of Leaf Dances attacking Ning Fan couldn’t even touch him, as an invisible Godhood power forbade it!

"It’s actually the Wooden Control Position! This complicates things..."

The true form of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree was deeply shocked. If Ning Fan truly possessed the power of the Wooden Control Position, most of its wood-based Divine Skills would be rendered useless, unable to be used against Ning Fan.

Such a Control Position is that inexplicable, that irrational!

"If Divine Skills don’t work, let’s settle this with artifacts! Shennong Cauldron, manifest!"

In a flash, a green light shot forth from the true form of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, transforming into an ancient cauldron covered in verdigris, descending upon Ning Fan.

The cauldron was actually an Innate Mid-grade Treasure, wielded by a Quasi-Saint realm Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, its suppression power as daunting as the collapsing of the heavens and earth, shaking an entire realm!

"So you want an artifact duel..."

Ning Fan summoned the Reverse Sea Sword, and the Golden Flame Giant Body wielded the sword, slashing at the cauldron, striking the Shennong Cauldron back.

But Ning Fan didn’t escape unscathed, being smashed into the ground by the suppressing power of the giant cauldron by dozens of feet, with over half of the Golden Flame Giant Body buried into the ground.

Disadvantage! This clash of artifact Dao Weapons, Ning Fan found himself at a disadvantage!

It wasn’t that the Reverse Sea Sword was weaker than the Shennong Cauldron, but rather Ning Fan’s strength paled too much before the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, the failure lay with Ning Fan!

"This is...the Mixed Kun Disciple Sword!" The Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, seemingly well-versed, was startled at the sight of the Reverse Sea Sword.

But the next moment, all surprise turned into fury.

So what if it’s the sword of a Mixed Kun Disciple!

He would kill any Mixed Kun Disciple he encountered!

All those damned Mixed Kun Disciples deserved to die!

"Shennong Hundred Herbs Flame!"

The Shennong Cauldron wasn’t just for smashing people. It’s an alchemic cauldron, containing an Innate Flame, extraordinary indeed.

Driven by the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree’s Divine Skills, the grass-green Shennong Hundred Herbs Flame poured from within the cauldron, like divine fire descending from the nine heavens, attacking Ning Fan.

"An Innate Mid-grade Flame, is it..." Ning Fan’s gaze sharpened, and he spewed rolling Thunder Fire, burning towards the Shennong Hundred Herbs Flame.

The Shennong Hundred Herbs Flame was designed for alchemy, its fire property typically gentle. Ning Fan’s Flame Thunder Fire was different, naturally meant for attack and killing, its power far more domineering!

Their battle of the flames persisted for a whole incense stick’s worth of time!

The result was that the Shennong Hundred Herbs Flame was defeated and fled back into the Shennong Cauldron, frightened by Ning Fan’s Flame Thunder Fire.

"Useless! Useless! The renowned Shennong Hundred Herbs Flame actually fled in panic!"

The Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree cursed furiously, realizing that the Shennong Cauldron couldn’t defeat Ning Fan, he already held no hope of eliminating Ning Fan.

The Shennong Cauldron was the only Innate Mid-grade Treasure he had, and after his various wood-based divine skills were suppressed by Ning Fan’s divine status, it was the only powerful attack method he could use.

With the Shennong Cauldron unusable and divine skills unavailable, was he, a Quasi-Saint, supposed to engage Ning Fan in hand-to-hand combat?

His Quasi-Saint tree bark defense was decent, but its attack power was nothing to boast about; while Ning Fan’s Eternal True Body also had considerable defense, even if they engaged in hand-to-hand combat, there was no possibility of killing Ning Fan...

What’s more troubling was that when Ning Fan opened his Domain of Authority, the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree found himself unable to absorb the wood force of heaven and earth. This meant that after exhausting his demon spiritual qi, he could not recover...

In the short term, the problem wasn’t apparent.

But if he were to engage Ning Fan in a prolonged battle of attrition, he would ultimately deplete his demonic power...

The more the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree thought about it, the more fearful he became. He didn’t want to continue fighting with Ning Fan, nor did he want to further antagonize him.

He wished to cease hostilities and reconcile with Ning Fan, yet Ning Fan completely ignored his words of reconciliation.

No doubt! On this Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, Ning Fan perceived countless causes and effects, all belonging to the True Lightning Clan!

This tree had devoured billions of True Lightning Clan people over countless years!

This tree must be killed!

"You whelp! Must you push me so hard! If you push me to a dead end, I might as well perish together with you!" the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree threatened.

"Then you should perish together!"

Ning Fan’s killing intent was resolute; although he hadn’t activated the Cross Halo, he had plenty of powerful attack methods to deal with the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree.

Geng Wu’s treasure, Vajra Armor-Breaking Bead, appear!

On the day he defeated Blood God Geng Wu, Ning Fan acquired many treasures from within him, amongst which the most valued by Ning Fan was the Innate Mid-grade Vajra Armor-Breaking Bead!

This was a miraculous treasure, its inherent kill strength wasn’t strong, but it had an incredible armor-breaking supernatural effect.

Ning Fan infused the Vajra Armor-Breaking Bead with a substantial amount of mana, and ancient Buddhist texts appeared on its surface, numbering in the hundreds. These characters were no bigger than ants, seemingly some advanced Buddhist text, yet Ning Fan could not recognize them.

The more mana Ning Fan injected, the stronger the bead’s golden light shone. When the gold light reached a certain intensity, Ning Fan suddenly raised his hand, casting the Vajra Armor-Breaking Bead onto the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree’s tree body.

Bang!

The Vajra Armor-Breaking Bead, with its limited attack power, couldn’t pierce the Quasi-Saint tree bark of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree felt disdain, failing to notice that in the instant the bead touched his tree bark, his bark’s defense was weakened by ninety percent.

The armor-breaking supernatural effect of the Vajra Armor-Breaking Bead was scarcely detectable; only those specializing in perception, like a First Order Quasi-Saint, could notice it. If not, the bead’s prowess would remain undiscovered.

"To be unaware of being armor-broken, how pitiful... This tree body no longer possesses Quasi-Saint level bark defense; a single strike will be enough to kill it!" Ning Fan’s gaze turned sharp, as he communicated to Aflo and the others.

[Close your eyes! Withdraw your spirit sense!]

Aflo and others obediently closed their eyes, blocking visual perception and withdrawing their spirit sense.

At that moment, Ning Fan summoned the Primordial Thunder Cauldron. The dazzling thunder light hung in a moment, veiling all colors in the world.

Ah!

Completely unprepared, the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree was blinded by the thunder light of the Primordial Thunder Cauldron, consuming his spirit sense.

He lost the ability to perceive the outside world!

He descended into an unspeakable panic!

Then he felt an immense pain spreading across his massive tree body.

The tree body of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree was so huge that even with eyes closed, Ning Fan could roughly gauge the direction and, within the thunder light, thrust a sword through the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree’s body.

At this moment, the Reverse Sea Sword easily penetrated the bark of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, striking its vital spot.

At this moment, all Sky-hook Jade on the Reverse Sea Sword exploded inside the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree!

Boom!

A loud blast resonated as Ning Fan shattered half of the tree body of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree with a single sword strike!

As the piercing thunder light dispersed, Ning Fan seized the true spirit of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree from within its tree body and stabbed it with another sword.

Bang, bang, bang!

The true spirit of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree was attacked, and the four dryad avatars it summoned immediately dissipated into demon fog.

Aflo’s beautiful eyes shone with brilliance; she hardly expected the Quasi-Saint battle to end so quickly. Ning Fan seemed to have grown stronger...

The true spirit of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree was held in Ning Fan’s grasp, coughing violently.

Though his true spirit was captured and attacked by Ning Fan, a true spirit isn’t something easily destroyed. Especially when it’s the true spirit of a Quasi-Saint Demon Cultivator, it’s even more resilient to destruction.

"Cough cough... I didn’t think, I didn’t think that my life of dominance would end in your hands... Tell me, what would it take for you to spare me!"

"Spare you? Why should I!" Ning Fan sneered, having finally caught the true spirit of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, there was no chance he would let it escape.

If he spared the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, how could the souls of those True Lightning Clan people devoured by the tree ever find peace...

"Hmph! If you’re not letting me go, I’ll leave on my own!"

The Thunder Tree True Spirit let out a strange laugh, and the entire True Spirit suddenly began to wither rapidly, a scene identical to when it fell into Ning Fan’s illusion previously.

Previously, it had self-destructed its True Spirit, and then revived it to avoid Ning Fan’s illusion.

At this moment, the Thunder Tree True Spirit wanted to perform the old trick again, using death and rebirth to escape from Ning Fan’s grasp.

Unfortunately, when its True Spirit withered to a certain extent, it could no longer continue withering and instead wasted a large amount of vital energy, becoming even more weakened.

"Impossible! My ability to resurrect has been sealed!" The Thunder Tree True Spirit was greatly shocked, drenched in cold sweat.

Then, as if realizing something, it roared, "No wonder! No wonder after you captured my True Spirit, you wanted to stab me with a sword. It was to take advantage of the opportunity to inject your Wooden Control Position power into my True Spirit, forming a seal!"

"That’s right, you no longer have the chance for rebirth after death. Don’t even think about escaping from Ning Fan’s hands!" Ning Fan sneered.

Of course, he wouldn’t explain to the Thunder Tree True Spirit that what he possessed was not a Wooden Control Position, but a higher level of Godhood of Wood.

"Hmph! I’ll accept my loss! But if you think capturing my True Spirit will easily allow you to kill me, you’re sorely mistaken! You think I’m just a simple Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree? I told you, today I will perish together with you!"

Soul-Devouring Technique, activate!

Ning Fan’s gaze changed. Even though he had sealed the rebirth ability of the Thunder Tree True Spirit, the Thunder Tree True Spirit still somehow gradually faded away from his grasp and disappeared.

Did this demon escape?

No, it didn’t!

This tree did not escape.

It actually had the audacity to invade Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness!

At this moment, the Thunder Tree True Spirit suddenly appeared in Ning Fan’s Divine Spirit Sea of Consciousness, and took root, settling down.

Among the Myriad Dao-Soul Clans, there is a clan known as the Soul-Devouring Tree Clan.

This clan consists of tree cultivators, who are born with a self-destructive ability called the Soul-Devouring Technique. They can sacrifice their body and cultivation to invade the enemy’s Sea of Consciousness, and step by step devour the enemy’s souls, making them their own.

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree launched the Soul-Devouring Technique on Ning Fan.

Its true form was not the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, but a Soul-Devouring Tree!

Many years ago, when the Soul-Devouring Tree was not yet in the form of the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, its cultivation was weak at that time, and it encountered a Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree with slightly higher cultivation.

The Soul-Devouring Tree naturally couldn’t defeat the Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, and in desperation, it detonated its own Soul-Devouring Tree body, activated its Soul-Devouring Technique, invaded the enemy’s Sea of Consciousness, and step by step devoured the enemy’s soul, gaining possession of the enemy’s body, soul, and shell.

From that day on, it was no longer a Soul-Devouring Tree; it became a Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree.

This time, this Soul-Devouring Tree was unlucky to stumble into Ning Fan’s hands.

This time, it planned to reuse its trick, abandoning everything from its time as a Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree, to occupy Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness, and step by step devour Ning Fan’s soul.

If it succeeded, there would be no more Ning Fan in the world.

Thereafter, it would be the new Ning Fan!

"Haha! Your Sea of Consciousness has already been rooted by me. Now, I will take over your consciousness... Hm, what’s going on?"

The Soul-Devouring Tree was greatly shocked.

The Sea of Consciousness is the weakest part of Masters; it thought occupying Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness would be easy.

But it was wrong, terribly wrong!

Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness was too strong, too abnormal!

Although it had rooted in Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness, its roots only penetrated very shallowly, unable to delve deeply into Ning Fan’s innermost Sea of Consciousness.

The reason it could plant shallow roots in Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness was because Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness was already injured, previously colliding with the will of the Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign, causing seven cracks...

For heaven’s sake, this is a Sea of Consciousness that cannot be occupied!

It was completely unable to further devour Ning Fan’s soul!

How could such an abnormal Sea of Consciousness exist, it was practically the natural nemesis of the Soul-Devouring Technique!

"Is this the method you used as a member of the Dao Soul Clan? What a powerful method, similar to the Corpse Seizing Technique, yet completely on a different level. Unlike the Corpse Seizing Technique, there are no side effects. If my Sea of Consciousness were ordinary, it might indeed be fully devoured by you, seized by you, and replaced by you. It’s a pity there are no ifs in this world..."

Ning Fan tried.

If he wanted, he could easily pull the Soul-Devouring Tree back out of his Sea of Consciousness.

However, doing so would exacerbate the injuries to his already wounded Sea of Consciousness.

After all, even though the Soul-Devouring Tree’s roots were planted shallowly in his Sea of Consciousness, they were ultimately harmful.

If he didn’t have the Black Evil Sect nearby, Ning Fan would probably forcefully pull the Soul-Devouring Tree out despite the injuries.

But since the Black Evil Sect was there, why not seek some clever advice?

"Hmph, the master finally remembered to find the Black Evil Sect?" The little kitten harbored a belly full of grievances, still sulking over not being sent to battle by Ning Fan.

"Alright, don’t be stubborn, behave. Now, tell me how to remove this tree without harm." Ning Fan said helplessly.

"Unless the master promises to take me into battle in the future, the Black Evil Sect won’t say anything."

"..." Ning Fan couldn’t help but laugh. Was this little kitten no longer as obedient as when they first met, and actually learned to haggle with him?

This was a good thing, indicating the little kitten had grown closer with him, wasn’t it? Compared to a blindly obedient little kitten, Ning Fan found the mischievous one to be more endearing.

"Is the master upset? Black Evil Sect was wrong; Black Evil Sect shouldn’t have haggled with the master..." The little kitten just thought Ning Fan was angry and was so anxious it was about to cry, hurriedly telling Ning Fan the way to deal with the Soul-Devouring Tree.

Ning Fan was not angry, and after comforting the Little Kitten for a few words, he began to use the method given by the Black Evil Sect to deal with the Soul-Devouring Tree.

In the cultivation world, there is a secret technique for seizing the body which can take over the enemy, but there are risks involved, and if it fails, one could end up having their own consciousness devoured.

The Soul-Devouring Technique is the same.

The method given by Little Kitten is specifically to counter the Soul-Devouring Technique, able to devour the invading Soul-Devouring Tree instead.

"According to the Black Evil Sect, if I reverse the process and devour the Soul-Devouring Tree in my divine sense, it will greatly increase my heart spirit powers. This is a good thing, as both powerful Illusory Arts and the Cross Halo necessitate a strong heart spirit... Since it is so, let’s devour this tree!"

And so.

The Soul-Devouring Tree, rooted in Ning Fan’s divine sense, fearfully discovered that its consciousness began to blur, slowly being consumed by Ning Fan.

It wanted to fight back, but it was to no avail!

The method given by Little Kitten cleanly broke its Soul-Devouring Technique; it was powerless to resist. It didn’t understand why Ning Fan was so knowledgeable about its Soul-Devouring Technique to the extent of perfectly countering and even exploiting and devouring it...

"Who are you, exactly? Why do you know so much about the weaknesses of our Soul-Devouring Tree clan?" The Soul-Devouring Tree asked unwillingly on the verge of death.

"It is not I who understands your Soul-Devouring Tree clan, but rather, my Little Kitten is very familiar with your kind."

"Little Kitten, what Little Kitten..." The consciousness of the Soul-Devouring Tree grew more nebulous.

"It’s me!" Little Kitten’s voice timely leaped into Ning Fan’s world of divine sense.

"What, what, the Royal Jiuli, impossible, this is impossible! To think you kept the Royal Jiuli as a house pet, this can’t... be possible..."

Overwhelmed with indescribable shock, an era of a Quasi-Saint fell just like that.

If the Soul-Devouring Tree had not forsaken all of its cultivations as a Heavenly Demon Thunder Tree and used the Soul-Devouring Technique, killing the Soul-Devouring Tree would not have been so easy for Ning Fan, and it would have required a lot more effort.

Now, however, the trouble was saved, and Ning Fan gained quite a few benefits, having devoured all of the Soul-Devouring Tree’s heart spirit powers.

This was the entirety of a Quasi-Saint’s heart spirit powers!

It directly doubled Ning Fan’s heart spirit powers from their original foundation!

You could say his heart spirit powers at this moment were stronger than many First Order Quasi-Saints, and using the Primordial Rainy Night Illusion Technique or the Cross Halo in the future would be much easier.

There was one other advantage...

All the wood-related insights and Divine Skills of the Soul-Devouring Tree were transmitted into Ning Fan’s divine sense along with its heart spirit.

The content needed considerable time for absorption and understanding. Upon fully receiving all the wood-related insights and Divine Skills of the Soul-Devouring Tree, Ning Fan’s combat power would surely improve significantly, without question.

"This is my first time killing a Quasi-Saint. His cultivation was not at its peak, only one-fifth of his power left; all his wood-related Divine Skills were entirely countered by me; I ambushed him with the Vajra Armor-Breaking Bead and broke his defense; his Soul-Devouring Technique happened to be useless against my Divine Spirit Sea of Consciousness... I had absolute advantage, but it still required considerable effort to destroy this demon. If it were another Quasi-Saint, such a completely advantageous opportunity would be difficult to come by..."

"Killing this demon is not the end. Next, there’s one more thing to do..."

Ning Fan began using the power of the Netherworld Ghost Flower to create an Eternal Ghost Soldier from the Soul-Devouring Tree.

This was his first time using a Quasi-Saint as material to make an Eternal Ghost Soldier, with a success rate so low it was pitiful, only half a chance.

Fortunately, he used a great amount of sacrificial offerings, three-tenths of the True Lightning World cultivators bearing blood debts became the offerings. Even to ensure this moment’s offering quantity, he did not make an Eternal Ghost Soldier from the Half-Saint Thunder Lord.

The number of offerings reached eighty million!

In this way, the success rate of the Eternal Ghost Soldier increased from the initial half a percent to nearly ten percent.

Such a low success rate, it simply seemed impossible to succeed...

While Ning Fan was also hoping for an Eternal Ghost Soldier with Quasi-Saint cultivations, he had gone through so many failures that he kept a steady mindset.

If success, I would be delighted.

If failure, I would accept it as well.

In any case, just doing the best I can, avoiding errors in the method, minimizing human errors, and that’s enough.

Ning Fan was not hoping for miracles, but life is often like this. The more you pursue something, the harder it is to obtain; conversely, with something unexpected, miracles often happen.

When the Eternal Soul-Devouring Tree with Quasi-Saint cultivation officially joined Ning Fan’s ghost soldiers, Ning Fan found himself too shocked to close his mouth.

Even with a seventy to eighty percent chance of failure in the past, now with only a ten percent chance, it succeeded instead!

Truly... how fortunate!

"With the addition of a Quasi-Saint ghost soldier to my battle ranks, in the future even when facing a First Order Quasi-Saint, I can compete, and the odds of winning are great!"

"The only pity is that the Soul-Devouring Tree itself specializes in survival, in resurrection, though its attack isn’t weak, it isn’t its primary strength. This is somewhat inconsistent with my previous ghost soldier selection criteria... but never mind, having a Quasi-Saint ghost soldier is rare, demanding too much wouldn’t be appropriate."

"The people of the Feng Clan have been taught a lesson, and the blood debts owed have been collected for the True Lightning Clan; now only one thing remains..."

Break the interface seal of the True Lightning World and release the True Lightning Clan to the outside world! Without the will of the Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign, the seal of this world can no longer be maintained and can be shattered with a single strike!

Finally, it is time to fulfill all the promises of those years; Senior Taisu Qian Bei, your spirit in heaven can now rest, from this day forth, the True Lightning Clan will no longer be anyone’s slaves...

"Eternal Soul-Devouring Tree, from this day forth, you shall be a servant of Ning Fan. The first task Ning Fan gives you is to join me and shatter this world’s seal!"

"As you command!" The Eternal Soul-Devouring Tree respectfully lowered its wooden head, its huge eyes blankly declared.

Ning Fan actually made a Quasi-Saint his servant...

Aflo felt the shock of today’s events was overwhelming...

Ning Fan not only killed a Quasi-Saint but also turned this Quasi-Saint into a ghost servant with ease. If this matter were to spread, the entire Cultivation Realm of Decline would be astonished...
