Flood Wide Ancestry Pass!

The giant waves surged toward the sky, infused with a trace of Immortal Emperor Divine Skills. Amidst the violent wind and rain, they swept over the entire Wide Ancestry Pass. Some Eastern Celestial Cultivators couldn’t dodge in time and were directly swept away by the giant wave, while others narrowly escaped into the sky.

Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged. With a point of his finger, he stopped the waves flooding into the Wide Ancestry Pass. With a sweep of his sleeve, the massive waves were shattered, and the cultivators swept away fell from the waves, escaping death, and they all looked at Ning Fan with gratitude.

"Hmph! You all retreat. The one coming is a Different Race Immortal Emperor, someone you cannot contend with!"

As Ning Fan was rescuing people, an arrogant voice spread throughout the Wide Ancestry Pass.

Then, three beams of light flashed, and True Monarch Lei Xian, Jade Flower Immortal Fairy, and Emperor Jizao appeared beside Ning Fan.

As soon as Lei Xian and the others appeared, five giant dragons emerged from the water, their cold eyes locking onto Ning Fan in the group.

They did not start the fight immediately and hesitated slightly.

Because these five giant dragons discovered that there was not only Ning Fan present, but also three other Eastern Celestial Emperors, this was somewhat unexpected.

However, the hesitation did not last long, as they quickly released a sky-shattering killing intent again. As the pride of the Aquatic Clans of Boundary River, they looked down on Eastern Celestial Cultivators and would not change their original plan just because the situation changed!

"Despicable Eastern Heaven ants, it seems you’ve calculated we would come to kill you and have called for reinforcements. Unfortunately, with just these three Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperors, you can’t save your life!"

"Whether I can be saved or not, we’ll know after trying!"

True Monarch Lei Xian sneered and directly rushed towards the strongest two dragons among the five, with a grab of his large hand, the ghostly purple lightning turned into a rain of light and blasted towards these two dragons.

He was arrogant to his own people and even more arrogant to his enemies. With such arrogance, he had long regarded himself as the strongest in Wide Ancestry Pass, and intended to fight two of their Seven Tribulations Immortal Emperors alone!

Of course, he did not think that with his peak Sixth Calamity cultivation, he could defeat two Seven Tribulations Immortal Emperors. Even defeating one, the possibility wasn’t high. But he was confident that if it was just to delay, even if the opponent was two Seven Tribulations, it wouldn’t be difficult.

For today’s battle, he didn’t seek victory, just wanted stubborn Ning Fan to recognize the opponent’s strength and then retreat when knowing it was difficult.

The means to exit the battle, he had already privately set up with Emperor Jizao. As long as Ning Fan agreed to leave, he could lead everyone here to flee at any time...

"Interesting, just a Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor, yet daring to single-handedly battle two Sevenths! Are all Eastern Heaven ants as arrogant as you?"

Seventh Prince Longjia sneered, allowing True Monarch Lei Xian’s Divine Skills to hit him without bothering to defend. Even so, the thunder could not cause any harm to his Vajra’s indestructible body, such terrifying physical defense greatly surprised True Monarch Lei Xian.

"Don’t be careless, Ninth Brother was captured precisely because he underestimated the Eastern Heaven ants. Since this person dares to battle the two of us alone, perhaps he has some reliance..."

Fifth Prince Longchi cautioned, spitting out an ancient bronze mirror. With a flash of mirror light, the attacks towards him vanished without a trace, bizarrely.

"Hmm, Fifth Brother’s right, indeed, we can’t be too careless..." Longjia nodded, accepting his brother’s advice.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one fears the rope for ten years. Ning Fan, an Eastern Heaven Venerable, was able to defy the heavens and crush Immortal Emperors; who can guarantee that there aren’t such monsters among the three Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperors?

As a result, Longchi and Longjia cautiously engaged with True Monarch Lei Xian.

Jade Flower Immortal Fairy seemed to have received a voice transmission command from True Monarch Lei Xian, blocking the Fifteenth Prince among the remaining three dragons.

Emperor Jizao laughed heartily, with the Fourteenth Prince in his sights.

Ning Fan, with a complex expression, stepped toward the Thirteenth Prince.

A feeling of complexity...

He had long been accustomed to walking alone in the world, such moments of fighting alongside Daoist friends of the same level were rare, very rare...

Clearly, none of them count as real friends, yet for a common sense of duty, one can fight side by side and trust one another with their backs...

Where duty lies, life and death follow. Right here, in the midst of battle, Ning Fan suddenly remembered Sword Ancestor, the scenes of the attack on Holy Mountain, the Sword Ancestor’s soul dispersing like smoke, and that little Soul Grass...

"Dazzling Flame Pattern!"

The Thirteenth Prince’s fire technique came crashing in! This dragon, adept at fire!

Ning Fan’s eyes widened in sudden anger, he would never allow himself to lose someone important again, never!

Wasn’t that exactly why he came to the Boundary River! Different Race Immortal Emperor... so what!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The blazing flames of the Dao pattern engulfed Ning Fan, and the terrifying heat caused the temperature of Wide Ancestry Pass to suddenly rise, as if it were the peak of summer.

Seeing himself easily subduing Ning Fan with one move, the Thirteenth Prince felt secretly smug, while also slightly disdainful of his Ninth Brother.

Ninth Brother Long Qie is truly a wimp, actually captured by such a person in the True Spirit. This person may have his strengths, but ultimately, he is no match for my prowess!

Boom!

Suddenly, a massive pillar of fire, echoing with the sounds of wind and thunder, forcibly ripped open the all-encompassing fire Dao pattern and charged out!

What domineering flames those were, echoing with wind and thunder, akin to the legendary Calamity Beast Fire!

However, compared to the Calamity Beast Fire, the sound of wind and thunder of this flame was even more fierce, because this flame had the power of Innate Thunder directly infused into it, making it undoubtedly Flame Thunder!

Blaze! Blaze! Blaze!

The fire Dao pattern released by the Thirteenth Prince was instantly burned to ashes upon contact with this Flame Thunder Fire.

No, it was not merely burned to ashes!

Ning Fan’s Flame Thunder Fire even consumed his flames, enhancing its own fiery power!

What an eerie flame!

"Long Qie’s Innate Dragon Fire has quite a delicious taste, and after consuming it, my flame’s power greatly increased. Your fire seems to be Innate Dragon Fire as well... in that case, I’ll eat it too!"

In an instant, all the flames released by the Thirteenth Prince were devoured by Ning Fan’s Flame Thunder Fire!

"Damn it! How dare you devour my dragon fire! I will burn you to ashes!"

The dragon fire devoured by Ning Fan was only a portion of the flames cultivated by the Thirteenth Prince, but even so, it infuriated the Thirteenth Prince. He struck forward with his dragon claw, releasing a massive fiery dragon claw a thousand zhang in size, poised to capture Ning Fan. Its power was such that even ordinary Immortal Emperors would dare not confront it head-on.

Yet Ning Fan did not dodge or evade, allowing the fiery dragon claw to approach him while silently reciting the mantra of the Sixty-Four Trigrams Fire Avoidance Art, causing the fiery dragon claw to bizarrely pause in midair, unable to descend on him. As the incantation reached its crucial point, the fiery dragon claw even collapsed under the strain, exquisitely strange...

Hehe, it truly is a heaven-defying divine skill...

The collapsing dragon fire was completely devoured by Ning Fan, gradually increasing his flame’s power.

"Impossible! How do you know this technique! This is a taboo of my Dragon-Horse Clan, Ninth Brother could never teach it to you! How, how..."

The Thirteenth Prince was both shocked and angry. If Ning Fan truly knew this technique, all his fiery methods would be nullified by Ning Fan as long as they hadn’t entered the third step!

No, this technique must be fake! Ninth Brother absolutely could not betray the Dragon-Horse Clan!

The Thirteenth Prince stubbornly refused to believe evil, repeatedly launching fire attacks, but could not even harm a single hair of Ning Fan, all being broken by the Fire Avoidance Art.

Ning Fan already saw clearly that this Thirteenth Prince was somewhat inferior to Long Qie and definitely not his opponent. Glancing at the battlefield on the side, he suddenly frowned.

Though he easily suppressed the Thirteenth Prince here.

But True Monarch Lei Xian and others were all struggling, fundamentally no match for the other Dragon-Horse Immortal Emperors.

The ever-arrogant True Monarch Lei Xian was at times struck by the indestructible body of the Seventh Prince, causing him to spit blood and fly backward, while at other times swept away by the Fifth Prince’s Divine Light of the River Diagram, as miserable as he could be, with none of the confidence and composure he had when battling two Emperors alone, his face full of shock and regret.

Jade Flower Immortal Fairy was restrained by the Fifteenth Prince’s Treasure-Destroying Law Eye on her Innate Treasure, her aura already weak, how could she be the opponent of the other party, suffering multiple injuries in a short incense stick’s time of battle.

Emperor Jizao also suffered some minor injuries; he was merely an old man who read fortunes, not a strong player among peers...

Ning Fan originally planned to conserve some cards, slowly defeating the Thirteenth Prince. At this point, seeing his companions struggling against their enemies and even finding it difficult to barely delay the opponents, he sighed, deciding to go all out, quickly resolve the battle, and support others.

Weak companions are not a sin, his strength is enough!

"It seems that besides your fire techniques, you have no other means. In that case, your True Spirit, I’ll take it!"

"Boy, don’t just boast with words! Who told you I have no other means, see me transform into a Dragon-Horse form, I’ll kill you ten times over!"

Angered by Ning Fan’s words, the Thirteenth Prince transformed amid the raging flames into a massive flaming horse adorned with dragon scales, claws, and horns!

The flaming horse was covered in Eight Diagrams Dao patterns, its aura far surpassing that of the flame horse from the Shade-Equine Clan that Ning Fan beheaded when he first arrived at the Eleventh Path.

Compared to the flame horse, the Dragon-Horse before him exuded an immensely noble aura, capable of instilling a sense of racial inferiority in any Master at Wide Ancestry Pass who saw it. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Ning Fan, however, was not among those feeling inferior.

He was not intimidated by the surge in power of the Thirteenth Prince after transforming into a Fire Horse.

After transforming into a Fire Horse, the Thirteenth Prince’s power was almost equal to the unbeatable Sixth Calamity True Monarch Lei Xian, but so what!

Ning Fan was unwilling to waste any more time arguing with the Thirteenth Prince. With a flash of Demon Light from his left eye, he confused the overconfident prince for a moment and seized that instant to close in, directly activating the unreasonable Cross Halo!

Heart Spirit exhausted rapidly!

Yet at this moment, with the Cross Halo activated, Ning Fan became the indubitable protagonist here, exuding a dangerous aura that stunned every Dragon-Horse Immortal Emperor present!

"What kind of Divine Skill is this!"

"Ink Mark Halo, cross intertwined... why does it evoke such a dangerous feeling in an old Seven Tribulations Immortal Emperor like myself!"

"Who is that kid really!"

"This is bad! Thirteenth Brother is in danger! Quick, rescue him!"

In this moment, all the remaining Dragon-Horse Immortal Emperors wished to abandon their weak opponents to rescue the Thirteenth Prince, but it was already too late to save him.

The Cross Halo locks a thousand zhang, and within its range, Ning Fan is the true king!

The Thirteenth Prince had just escaped the confusion from Ning Fan’s Illusory Art, about to mock the level of Ning Fan’s illusionary skills, but words caught in his throat out of sheer astonishment.

He was locked within Ning Fan’s Cross Halo range.

At this moment, his entire Mana and spirit sense were fixed by some mysterious power, unable to move, that mysterious power being the Heaven-Fixing Finger technique infused into the Cross Halo!

Hundreds to thousands of destructive Divine Skills suddenly formed within the Cross Halo. Ning Fan alone launched an overwhelming attack comparable to a thousand warriors!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All struck the Thirteenth Prince!

"Thirteenth Brother!!!"

"Thirteenth Brother!!!"

As the dust settled and blood mist filled the sky, all the blood was the splattered Dragon Blood of the Thirteenth Prince!

Scattered flesh shot across, all the hardened Dragon Meat of the Thirteenth Prince!

Ning Fan bore a cold expression akin to a Shura, clutching the near-death True Spirit of the Thirteenth Prince in his hand, effortlessly planting numerous restrictions and imprisoning him within the Xuan Yin Treasure. Though his face showed no expression, his inner thoughts were heartfelt.

These Dragon-Horses might not have been a match for him, but each was harder to kill than the previous, even after his Cross Halo unleashed thousands of Divine Skills that couldn’t extinguish this dragon’s True Spirit.

No wonder it’s a True Spirit!

Only such creatures deserve to be called True Spirits!

"He instantly defeated an Immortal Emperor with one move!"

All were overwhelmed by Ning Fan’s fierce power.

Especially True Monarch Lei Xian, arrogant by nature with eyes above all, wasn’t much shocked by Ning Fan’s victory over Chong He, as he believed he could achieve the same, perhaps even surpass Ning Fan...

Yet, having witnessed this shocking scene, his arrogance fell flat.

The Dragon-Horse Immortal Emperor, with whom he struggled, was instantly defeated by Ning Fan!

Not even the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor could perform such feats!

Is Ning Fan... still human!

Is he really... just an Eternal Immortal Venerable!

"Release my brother’s True Spirit!"

"You deserve death, deserve death!"

The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Princes couldn’t suppress their anger, rushing towards Ning Fan.

Unfortunately, as soon as they entered the Cross Halo, they were immobilized, unable to unleash any attack.

Their furious expressions transformed into fright and terror!

Being unable to move meant they were soon at someone’s mercy!

The fault lies with Ning Fan’s reputation, having never reached the Boundary River. Had it been the East Heaven Immortal Emperor, they would never have recklessly charged into Ning Fan’s Cross Halo. Indeed, precautions would have been designed against Ning Fan’s Cross Halo...

But the Dragon-Horse Immortal Emperors weren’t aware of the Cross Halo’s secrets.

Today marks the first time the Cross Halo’s reputation spreads across the Boundary River, destined to instill dread among Eastern Boundary River’s different races!

Obliteration River, Yin-Yang Five Swords, Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike...

Hundreds to thousands of Divine Skills spontaneously appear within the Cross Halo, ferociously attacking the two Dragon-Horse Princes, blood mist flying.

As the two dragons seemed doomed to follow the Thirteenth Prince’s fate, outside the halo, watching calmly, not recklessly entering the Cross Halo, the Fifth and Seventh Princes simultaneously launched long-range spells, narrowly pulling out the two dragons from the halo range, avoiding most of its attacks.

After all, as Dragon-Horse Clan Immortal Emperors, experienced and wise, even if seeing Ning Fan’s Cross Halo for the first time, they discerned some weaknesses in this technique.

Unfortunately, their rescue was swift, but Ning Fan wounded people quicker, some Divine Skills still hit the two dragons. Thus, while the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Princes were rescued, they were in severely injured states, their gaze towards Ning Fan filled with undisguisable fear.

Fear is rarely seen at the Immortal Emperor level, yet Ning Fan evokes such terror from these outliers!

He captured one and wounded two!

In mere moments, Ning Fan achieved such impressive feats, leaving all onlookers astonished!

"Retreat swiftly! This hero cannot be contended with!"

With deep apprehension, the Fifth Prince commanded, unsure of the Cross Halo’s depth; continuing against Ning Fan might cost all lives here, better to retreat to their stronghold and plan revenge once understanding Ning Fan’s methods.

As for the captured Thirteenth Prince, he must be temporarily abandoned.

Sadly, deciding to leave now is somewhat late.

Ning Fan curved a cold smile, for Wide Ancestry Pass isn’t a place for different races to come and leave at will!

Since arriving, no one should dream of escape!

Fixed!

Under Ning Fan’s Cross Halo, unafraid of backlash, he boldly employed the Heaven-Fixing Finger to forcibly immobilize four Dragon-Horse Princes, halting their retreat.

True Monarch Lei Xian and his partner were wise enough to quickly stand in the retreat path, though unable to fight hard battles, they excelled in pursuit, considering the capture of one and wounding of two Dragon-Horse Princes a remarkable opportunity. How could they let these different races flee!

True Monarch Lei Xian and his partner formed a Thunder Net together, mysteriously enough, managing to unleash an aura of a peak Seven Tribulations Immortal Emperor, a single Thunder Net proving sufficient to trap the Fifth Prince Longchi, ending his escape.

Emperor Jizao also maneuvered himself desperately before the Seventh Prince, using Primordial Spirit Essence Blood to inscribe formations around heaven and earth, blocking the Seventh Prince’s escape, driving him into muteness.

The heavily wounded Fourteenth and Fifteenth Princes were pursued mercilessly by Ning Fan, dragged back into the Cross Halo’s embrace. Their futile counter-attacks were effortlessly neutralized by Ning Fan.

This time, with the other two Seven Tribulations Princes detained by others, none could rescue them from beyond the halo!

Endless halo Divine Skills fell, the two dragons screamed pitifully, ultimately they followed the Thirteenth Prince’s demise, their corporeal forms obliterated, leaving only the indomitable True Spirit captured by Ning Fan, planted with restrictions, thrown into the Xuan Yin Treasure.

Captured two more dragons!

"Fourteenth Brother!!!"

"Fifteenth Brother!!!"

The Fifth and Seventh Princes’ eyes turned bloodshot, unable to restrain hatred, wishing to tear Ning Fan limb from limb, devouring his blood and flesh.

Yet, when Ning Fan leveraged his ghostly speed to swiftly close in, both dragons paled in fear!

They... had fallen into the Cross Halo’s range!

They... could move not a single inch!

In desperation, the Fifth Prince held nothing back, a tinge of ruthlessness in his eyes, as if making an incredibly challenging decision, he finally pushed River Diagram Mirror to the extreme.

Suddenly, a grand, ancient aura of the Profound Sect emanated from River Diagram Mirror like an awakened ancient dragon, protecting the two dragons within...
