Grasping the Evil-Chapter 990: Battle of Zaoyang Mountain!

The Donglai Star Domain is a desolate region, with numerous grey abandoned stars floating within it, most of which are unsuitable for living beings.

However, in this very desolate star domain, there stands a Taoist temple of a Great Emperor from Eastern Heaven. Therefore, although this place is barren, Eastern Heaven cultivators coming and going are not few in number!

Donglai Star Domain, outer region.

A group of Void Fragmentation cultivators is swiftly traveling through space, aiming to visit the Zaoyang Mountain Dojo at the center of the star domain to attend the dojo of an Immortal Emperor!

This group consists of six cultivators, each with fervent looks. Judging by their attire, they seem to belong to the same faction, and the leader of the group, who has the highest cultivation, is a strong cultivator of the Crumbled Void Seventh Layer, currently explaining something enthusiastically to the others.

"...Donglai Star Domain is the dojo of Great Emperor Chonghe. You junior brothers may not be familiar with this emperor due to your lack of worldly experience. What you all don’t know is that, although Great Emperor Chonghe’s cultivation is not the highest among the Eastern Heaven Emperors, he is the most senior. It’s said that the seniority of the Eastern Heaven Emperors can’t match this person, and even the Quasi-Saints are younger than this emperor. There are also rumors that Great Emperor Chonghe is not of the human race but of the demon lineage, specifically the white ape bloodline, and yet he doesn’t cultivate demon techniques. For this reason, Great Emperor Chonghe is also known by another name, ’The Ancient White Ape Elder Chonghe’..."

"...The dojo of Great Emperor Chonghe is built in the center of the Donglai Star Domain. On our way there, if we encounter people in grey robes and conical hats, we must not offend them. Remember this! It’s said that all of Great Emperor Chonghe’s disciples dress like this, with the only difference being the color of their conical hats. Disciples with the first step of cultivation can only wear bronze hats; only second-step disciples qualify to wear silver hats, which have nine different grades. Only Great Emperor Chonghe himself and his subordinates, the two kings and six venerables, can wear golden hats."

"...And regarding the rules of Zaoyang Mountain, this is something you must keep in mind..."

As the group was advancing, a gray light suddenly flashed and blocked the path of the six, revealing its silhouette.

It was a Dao Line of Life Immortal cultivator dressed in grey robes, wearing a silver conical hat, with a pattern of a gray cloud engraved on one corner of the hat.

"One with a conical hat!" The six Void Fragmentation cultivators immediately became apprehensive, halting their escape light to respectfully salute the hat-wearing cultivator without daring to be negligent.

The hat-wearing cultivator remained arrogant and did not return the greeting, merely saying indifferently, "Do you know the rules?"

"Yes, yes... Here are our storage pouches; the senior may choose one item from them..."

The six respectfully removed their storage pouches and handed them to the hat-wearing cultivator.

The hat-wearing cultivator then selected one item from each of four storage pouches, be it a magical treasure or expensive pills, and returned these four storage pouches to their respective owners, giving each of these four people a token.

"You four have the qualifications to enter Zaoyang Mountain Dojo; this is your pass token, keep it well!"

The remaining two storage pouches were directly confiscated by the hat-wearing cultivator, who sternly said to the remaining two, "Your sincerity is lacking. If you cannot present something more valuable, then you can scram!"

The rule of Zaoyang Mountain is that to enter and pay homage, one must offer their storage pouch and let the conical hat emissary choose one item; only then can they be qualified to enter. If no treasure is offered, entry to Zaoyang Mountain Dojo is not permitted. If the offered treasure is not valuable enough, the storage pouch is directly confiscated, and the owner must be expelled!

The words of the hat-wearing cultivator immediately displeased the two cultivators.

"In my storage pouch, there is clearly a Mortal Void-level magical treasure and also Sixth Revolution Pills; is that not sincere enough to demonstrate my intent? Is it not enough to exchange for a pass token?"

"Not enough! Void Fragmentation cultivators wishing to enter the dojo at least need to offer Immortal Void magical treasures, Seventh Revolution Pills, or items of equivalent value! For second-step cultivators, the price is even higher! You two clearly have Immortal Void magical treasures but hide them inside your bodies instead of placing them in storage pouches for me to choose from. Do you think I can’t see through your little tricks? I’m not inclined to argue with you; if you don’t present more precious treasures, then scram! If not, you’ll die!"

Just as the two cultivators tried to argue further, a scream suddenly echoed from the distant starry sky. It turned out that a certain Dao Line of Life Immortal was killed by a conical hat cultivator for resisting enforcement.

Gasp! To think that a dignified Dao Line of Life Immortal could be directly slain! This Donglai Star Domain is truly too dangerous! The actions of the conical hat cultivators here are tyrannical, with no reasoning at all!

Upon witnessing this scene, the two had no courage left to haggle, reluctantly presenting more valuable treasures to finally exchange for a pass token. However, the confiscated storage pouches were irretrievable no matter what.

This is the rule of Zaoyang Mountain!

To visit Zaoyang Mountain Dojo, one must offer treasures; this is a rule set by Great Emperor Chonghe, which cannot be changed or defied! Anyone attempting to defy this must be ready to face the wrath of the conical hat cultivators here!

However, if an Eternal Immortal Venerable arrives, generally speaking, no conical hat cultivator would be foolish enough to demand that an Immortal Venerable present treasures...

While Zaoyang Mountain cultivators are tyrannical, they aren’t foolish... The likes of an Immortal Venerable are not to be easily offended...

Ning Fan slightly furrowed his brows. After entering the Donglai Star Domain, he had already witnessed four people being killed, all because they resisted the orders of the conical hat cultivators.

If orders are defied, they are killed outright, with no trace of humanity left! This is the tyrannical conduct of Zaoyang Mountain cultivators!

Given the tyranny of the lower ranks, one could only imagine the domineering nature of Great Emperor Chonghe himself...

No wonder that the Eternal Immortal Venerable under Great Emperor Chonghe dared to step on Extreme Thunder Palace when Xianxian went missing, and after knowing that Xianxian had returned, actually had the audacity to borrow treasures and not return them...

Ning Fan’s ears rang with the instructions of Lan Xiaoqian and the other three women before his departure.

"Young Master Ning, as you go to Zaoyang Mountain this time, you must be more amiable. As long as you can retrieve the Mirror of Flash Thunder, it’s okay even if Extreme Thunder Palace has to pay some price. Just don’t fall out too badly with the Zaoyang Mountain cultivators, after all, the master of Zaoyang Mountain is none other than Great Emperor Chonghe, who is known for not being reasonable. There are not a few Old Monsters of East Heaven who have been oppressed by him. We just didn’t expect that this time the cultivators of Zaoyang Mountain would dare to oppress Extreme Thunder Palace..."

Ugh, these four women are truly timid. Is there really a need to fear Zaoyang Mountain that much?

However, Ning Fan could understand the ladies’ concerns. Now that Xianxian’s Thunder Body Evolution hadn’t concluded, if they indeed fell out with Great Emperor Chonghe, it wouldn’t end well...

Though he understood, Ning Fan himself did not fear Great Emperor Chonghe. An Immortal Emperor at the Eternal Sixth Calamity stage was someone he would look up to, but not fear.

Oh well, for the sake of the four women’s earnest pleas, if the Zaoyang Mountain cultivators are reasonable, he would attempt to retrieve the Mirror of Flash Thunder in a gentle manner.

Ning Fan’s entry into the Three Thousand Thunder Realm caused a massive stir. This time, he learned from the experience and did not expose his appearance and identity, instead using the glow of fortune to cover his appearance.

Cultivators who reach the Timeless Realm can use the Color of Fortune to conceal their appearance. Although Ning Fan was not an Eternal Cultivator, due to his powerful Blood Lightning, he could achieve the same effect.

This way, he was enveloped in a four-colored glow upon entering the Donglai Star Domain, and his overpowering fortune immediately attracted attention from all sides.

"Gasp! To think it is someone endowed with fortune! It seems an Eternal Old Freak is here! Judging by the momentum of this escape light, it appears to be an Eternal Immortal Venerable, not an Immortal King..."

"The Fourth Color of Immortal Fate! Although this senior is not an Immortal King, to have such powerful fortune is quite extraordinary among Immortal Kings! Truly remarkable!"

Though being endowed with fortune easily draws attention, it’s a much better outcome compared to the entire Three Thousand Thunder Realm being on high alert.

The arrival of an ordinary Eternal Immortal Venerable wouldn’t cause widespread panic, hence the Donglai Star Domain wasn’t thrown into chaos because of Ning Fan’s presence.

Another benefit of being endowed with good fortune is that not a single patrolling hat-wearing cultivator came to make trouble for Ning Fan, allowing him to reach the Twelve Stars of Donglai almost unimpeded.

The Twelve Stars of Donglai!

These were twelve emperor-rank cultivation stars linked by formations to form an arched star cluster. At the center of the cluster was a high mountain exuding celestial energy, floating in the endless starry sky. Many osmanthus trees and Zhuyu Grass grew on the mountain. Consuming the grass could prevent hunger for days for mortals. Various exotic beasts inhabited the mountain, many of which Ning Fan had never seen before! The peak of Zhaoyao Mountain was spacious, with a daoist temple where ten thousand cultivators chanted year-round, offering incense to Great Emperor Chonghe.

Accustomed to seeing grand events, the Zhaoyao Mountain cultivators were hardly surprised when Ning Fan arrived, continuing their chants unfazed.

It’s normal for an Eternal Immortal Venerable to visit the temple for worship, and there are designated people to receive them, requiring none of their worry.

However, moments later, no one could remain calm!

As Ning Fan unveiled the light of his good fortune, the ten thousand cultivators in the temple stood up suddenly, incredulously staring at the figure of a young man in white in the starry sky!

"Rain... Rain Immortal Monarch! Why is he here?"

"Could he be here to cause trouble? This person can decimate the Anti-Ning Alliance, if he starts a massacre here..."

"The ancestor is in seclusion, quickly inform the two kings and six honors, a strong demon has arrived, be on guard!"

"Where are the Formation Hall disciples, quickly take your positions, if this demon makes a move, activate the Zhaoyao Starry Formation, guard Zhaoyao Mountain to the death!"

The atmosphere immediately turned lethal!

Even the arrival of some Immortal Kings wouldn’t put the Zhaoyao Mountain cultivators on such high alert, only Ning Fan was different, the sheer number of blood feuds in his hands was incomparable!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

It was the sound of the Chonghe Drum, echoing seven times!

Inside the rocky seclusion cave of the Zhaoyao Mountain Temple, the two kings and six honors who were in closed-door cultivation all changed their expressions and extended their spirit senses outside.

The two Immortal Kings of Zhaoyao Mountain were indifferent, seeing that it was Ning Fan who arrived, though vigilant, they were also self-assured and did not appear.

The six Celestial Venerables of Zhaoyao Mountain, however, all broke through their caves and rushed into the starry sky, surrounding Ning Fan at the center. Each wore a golden, shimmering cone hat!

Four First Calamity Immortal Sovereigns, two Second Calamity Immortal Lords!

"We do not know why Rain Monarch has come to Zhaoyao Mountain!" The six Celestial Venerables of Zhaoyao Mountain all stared vigilantly at Ning Fan, like facing a great enemy!

In the circle of the Celestial Venerables of Eastern Heaven now, no one dared underestimate Ning Fan. First it was Deyun Ancestor, and then the Alliance’s three Honorable, to this point, Ning Fan has taken four lives of Celestial Venerables! Who dares to underestimate!

Even some Immortal Kings, though they could defeat lower-rank Celestial Venerables, found it difficult to kill...these eternal-old freaks, each of whom excelled at self-preservation, found it hard to kill in one strike, but Ning Fan managed, and not just once!

The Rain Immortal Monarch...must not be underestimated!

"This Ning came today without ill intentions..." As this statement was made, the six Celestial Venerables of Zhaoyao Mountain immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Ning Fan’s next sentence made the six’s faces change slightly.

"... I only wish to retrieve a treasure for my friends at the Extreme Thunder Palace."

"Oh? This is related to the Extreme Thunder Palace? There’s nothing of the Extreme Thunder Palace on our Zhaoyao Mountain. We do not know which item Daoist wishes to take?" A Second Calamity Immortal Sovereign pretended to be puzzled, asking in surprise. This was a red-haired old man, with three dark red runes on his right cheek, going by the daoist name Fenhe, the highest cultivation among the six.

Several other Eternal Immortal Venerables equally feigned ignorance, as if completely unaware. If Ning Fan didn’t know the inside story, he’d almost believe the Mirror of Flash Thunder wasn’t here.

Ning Fan frowned, a bit dissatisfied with their nonchalance, "Clear words do not speak in the dark, I am here for the Mirror of Flash Thunder! This item is very important to the Extreme Thunder Palace, I hope you can show me some favor and return this item!"

Seeing Ning Fan so direct, Fenhe and others couldn’t be bothered to act any longer, their faces turning cold as they replied, "Does Rain Monarch intend to stand up for the Extreme Thunder Palace! If we don’t give Rain Monarch this face, what then! Is Rain Monarch’s face worth so much?"

"We take you seriously but we’re not afraid of you!"

"If you are wise, then quickly leave! If you anger us, you’ll find yourself in as much trouble as the women of the Extreme Thunder Palace!"

After all, being on their own ground, with both Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors in charge, Fenhe and the others were cautious of Ning Fan but not fearful, their tone became firm.

Ning Fan’s frown deepened, but recalling the advice of the Four Ladies, he remained calm, "Kill for a killing, return for a loan, since you borrowed the Mirror of Flash Thunder, it should be returned. If the Baidi Thunder Body evolution completes, and this is pursued, can you bear the White Emperor’s wrath?"

The original cultivation of Celestial Luoli was at the Seventh Tribulation Eternal, higher than the Sixth Tribulation cultivation of Great Emperor Chonghe, once the Thunder Body evolution is complete, her cultivation will advance further. The wrath of Celestial Luoli is not something everyone can withstand! At least, Zhaoyao Mountain alone might not bear it!

Ning Fan was truly curious, why Zhaoyao Mountain would insist on offending the Extreme Thunder Palace for a mere Mirror of Flash Thunder.

Upon hearing this, the six honors indeed hesitated, but only for a moment, then laughed aloud in unison.

"Our ancestor, possessing the Innate Dharma Eye, can observe human fate; the ancestor said that Lan Yunxian’s fate is exhausted, with no possibility for Thunder Body evolution, waving Lan Yunxian as a banner, you cannot frighten us!"

"The Mirror of Flash Thunder isn’t going to be returned! Our Zhaoyao Mountain’s rule is that anything that enters our pockets doesn’t leave!"

"This is Zhaoyao Mountain, not Danxia Star! It’s not a place for you to act recklessly! If you leave, we can treat this as if nothing happened, otherwise...hmph!"

Fenhe, the Celestial Venerable, gave a cold laugh, clearly with threatening intent.

Ning Fan’s lifelong hatred of threats almost caused him to lose control, had he not been mindful of the Four Ladies’ warnings. Though his tone stayed relatively calm, his eyes had grown cold, "I’ll ask once more, will you return the Mirror of Flash Thunder or not? If Daoist friends return this mirror, the four protectors of the Extreme Thunder Palace said they would prepare a small gift to thank you..."

"What damn gift, not needed! If they’re sending anything, let it be the women of the Extreme Thunder Palace, all cleaned up!"

"Intending to stand up for the Extreme Thunder Palace, don’t you weigh your own strength! Do you think all of Eastern Heaven is your territory, Ning Fan!"

"Get lost! If you keep babbling, I’ll make you leave Zhaoyao Mountain lying down!"

Fenhe and others shouted more fiercely, thinking that Ning Fan’s repeated concessions were a sign of fear.

Ning Fan chuckled, a clearly calm laughter that carried an endless coldness.

In the cultivation world, strength speaks loudly, and the strong are revered! Encountering people like those of Zhaoyao Mountain, if you have no strength, reasoning is futile; only by persistently reasoning would make the other side look down upon you even more and then bully you doubly!

"I agreed with friends from Jilei Palace to resolve this matter peacefully... but now, I’ve changed my mind!"

Chi!

Ning Fan suddenly vanished from where he stood, appearing behind a First Tribulation Immortal Sovereign in the next instant, raising his hand for a sword strike!

The sword’s edge gleamed with an unstoppable cold light from four different palm position path glows!

That First Tribulation Immortal Sovereign felt chills all over his body, instantly transforming into red mist and dissipating.

But it was useless!

The red mist recondensed, and this First Tribulation Immortal Sovereign appeared a hundred zhang away, yet Ning Fan’s sword still wounded him, leaving a deep, bone-visible wound from the shoulder down to the waist!

The six venerables were shocked!

Even two Immortal Lords who were still in seclusion were astonished!

Even the Great Emperor Chonghe, who was meditating inside Zhaoyao Mountain’s cavern, slightly opened his eyes, showing calculating coldness.

Everyone on Zhaoyao Mountain, all ten thousand Masters, was shocked!

It’s actually four kinds of palm position path traces!

Ning Fan’s sword was entwined with four kinds of palm position path traces, and with their enhancement, almost instantly killed a First Tribulation Immortal Sovereign!

The injured First Tribulation Immortal Sovereign, named Mist Serpent, could not calm his wildly beating heart!

On the brink of life and death! Absolutely on the brink of life and death! If his life-bound talent wasn’t mist transformation for protection, this wound wouldn’t be so simple!

"How bold! You actually dare to strike and injure someone on my Zhaoyao Mountain, simply disregarding my Zhaoyao Mountain!" The six venerables, shocked, all shouted angrily, trying to suppress their inner alarm.

Moreover, all the Zhaoyao Mountain Masters hurriedly activated the Zhaoyao Mountain formation, vowing to use it to restrain Ning Fan!

That Zhaoyao Celestial Formation, laid by Great Emperor Chonghe over ten thousand years, once activated, almost no one under Immortal Emperor could escape.

Once activated, the six venerables all retreated wildly, opening a distance from Ning Fan, followed by a rain of starlight, summoned by the formation, like silk cocoon threads wrapping around, eventually forming a massive stellar cocoon, sealing Ning Fan inside, the cocoon having thirty million seals adhered to it!

"To injure someone on my Zhaoyao Mountain, this is your end! His master Ancient Chaos isn’t dead, so do not take his life, but he must be taught a lesson! Quickly use the formation to destroy his physical defense, then I will personally imprison his Spirit under Zhaoyao Mountain for ten thousand years!"

That Fenhe was ordering punishment for Ning Fan, when suddenly the sound of shattering was heard, and it was the stellar cocoon imprisoning Ning Fan, cracking from top to bottom!

In the next moment, all thirty million seals on the cocoon shattered, and Ning Fan took nine consecutive steps, directly breaking the grand momentum and walking out of the cocoon!

This formation couldn’t hold him!

"The Thunder Flashing Tri-Mirror, dividing heaven, earth, and man, this human mirror is undoubtedly in your Dantian..."

With a flash of golden light, Ning Fan appeared behind the Mist Serpent Immortal Sovereign, using the Heaven Sealing Art, directly immobilizing Mist Serpent’s physical defense, preventing him from transforming into mist and dissipating.

Then, the sword mark struck down!

Pity Mist Serpent spent his life mastering mist transformation Divine Skills, yet under the Heaven Sealing Art, all effects were lost, his physical defense being split by Ning Fan’s sword, though his Spirit desperately resisted the seal, forcibly escaping, but the Flash Thunder human mirror hidden in his Dantian was directly seized by Ning Fan.

The human mirror has been retrieved!

"Two more Thunder Flashing Mirrors remain!"

Ning Fan’s gaze fell on another First Tribulation Immortal Sovereign, named Leiyu, who was terrified and moved directly towards Fenhe Immortal Sovereign.

Ning Fan’s speed was incredibly fast, his sword mark strikes were sharp and unbeatable, common defenses were useless! Against this opponent, one must not be alone and must keep a distance, otherwise, being ambushed from close range would be troublesome!

As he fled, Leiyu Immortal Sovereign spat out a bolt of thunder light, uncertain of its nature, disappearing as it flashed.

Simultaneously, Ning Fan suddenly felt a warning, three inches from Tian Ling, a three-inch long thunder nail appeared out of thin air, aiming to pierce his Tian Ling!

"This nail lacks killing power, but excels in speed, making it impossible to defend against; even an Immortal King couldn’t block it unprepared..."

Leiyu was confident in his thunder nail, but what terrified him happened quickly.

Ning Fan was suddenly enveloped by a golden wall, the thunder nail striking against the wall without penetrating, unable to harm Ning Fan!

"A decent hidden weapon, but unfortunately, too weak in power!"

Ning Fan merely activated a slight defense with the God-Extinguishing Shield, and the thunder nail couldn’t break it, showing how weak its attack truly was.

As he prepared to retaliate, a bare-chested Immortal Sovereign roared and punched forward, and with that punch, the power of collapsing stars erupted!

He was a Body Cultivator with an Eon-old Tribulation Cultivation; no few equivalent Immortal Sovereigns would dare to meet this punch directly.

But Ning Fan didn’t move a bit, directly using the golden wall to stop the punch without damage.

More attacks from Immortal Venerables landed on him, yet none could break his golden defenses!

"Impossible! Why is this child’s defense so defying the heavens! Even with the combined might of the six Venerables, we couldn’t break this child’s defense, and he even destroyed one of our physical bodies!"

Fenhe and the others were extremely alarmed. Amidst the alarm, Ning Fan, surrounded by golden light, charged directly toward Thunder Fish.

Thunder Fish was shocked and immediately fled, but his speed couldn’t compare to Ning Fan’s First Passage of Vertical Earth Golden Light!

When the sword marks slashed down, Thunder Fish Immortal Lord hurriedly dodged, yet was stabbed by the sword, piercing through the Dantian, forcibly extracting the Thunder Flashing Mirror hidden within!

Earthly Mirror, in hand!

Heavenly Mirror, however, is not here...

"Is it over there..."

Ning Fan ignored the attacks of the Immortal Venerables, directly rushing toward the Zaoyang Mountain Dao Field while facing divine skills head-on.

He could sense that within the Dao Field, two Triple Calamity Immortal Kings were in seclusion, one of them holding the third mirror!

Immortal King, what does he fear! He dares confront even the Witch God at the pinnacle of Immortal Kings, what fear has he of the Triple Calamity Immortal King here!

With the God-Extinguishing Shield for protection, even without exhibiting the complete form of the God-Slaying Giant, he is confident he will not be harmed by a Triple Calamity Immortal King!

"Stop him! Don’t let him burst into the Dao Field!"

Fenhe and the others were all in a panic, but unfortunately, their all-out attacks couldn’t breach Ning Fan’s golden light defense at all.

They couldn’t even perform the most basic defense breaking... In a duel with Ning Fan, how could they have half a chance of winning! As long as Ning Fan’s Mana is sufficient, he is innately undefeated!

How can this fight continue!

Rumor has it that this child wiped out the Anti-Ning Alliance single-handedly, which the Immortal Venerables did not believe, but now it seems likely to be true. Even with six of them combined, they couldn’t take down this child; how could the three Venerables of the Anti-Ning Alliance!

If no Immortal King steps forward, who can suppress this child!

At the Dao Field, there was an uproar of astonishment among the ten thousand Masters, knocked off their feet and overwhelmed by the momentum that descended from Ning Fan above.

"You are very arrogant, and indeed have the capital for arrogance... but, it’s useless!"

Before Ning Fan could charge into the Dao Field, a blue light suddenly flashed out from the Dao Field, directly colliding with Ning Fan’s protective golden light. Upon collision, the blue lightning power instantly surged in the air, and as it condensed, turned into a short, stout Master riddled with muscle. After colliding with Ning Fan, he retreated half a step, secretly shocked. What surprised him even more was that in the brief moment he brushed past Ning Fan, his arm was cut with a wound by Ning Fan, though not severely, it was still an injury!

Ning Fan was knocked back dozens of steps, but fortunately, the God-Extinguishing Shield protected him, rendering him completely unharmed as he coldly looked at the newcomer with the sword held horizontally.

The Thunder Flashing Sky Mirror is within this person’s Dantian!

"Ah! The Flying Thunder Immortal King actually had his physical defense broken by Rain Monarch! And he is a Body Cultivator!"

"Unharmed, still completely unharmed! This Rain Monarch’s divine powers are truly formidable, even with the brute force of the Flying Thunder Immortal King’s collision, it couldn’t break his defense!"

"This Rain Monarch is truly formidable, facing a Triple Calamity Immortal King, he seems to be innately unbeatable!"

Above the Dao Field, there was an uproar of astonishment everywhere, and some even vaguely felt that unless Great Emperor Chonghe intervened today, no one would be able to suppress Ning Fan!

After all, the remaining Immortal King who hadn’t acted was even weaker than the Flying Thunder Immortal King, even if the two kings and six Venerables joined forces...

Following the Flying Thunder Immortal King, a second Immortal King from Zaoyang Mountain charged out of the rocky seclusion cave, gazing at Ning Fan with a similarly heavy expression.

Unless an accident happens next... it’s likely that all out efforts from two kings and six Venerables will be needed to deal with Ning Fan alone!

Just then, a voice suddenly resounded.

"Rain Immortal Monarch, truly extraordinary... Flying Thunder, stand down, with your cultivation level, you cannot break this child’s defenses... All of you, cease!"

It was an aged voice that instantly resounded throughout the entire star field, like heaven’s thunder, ringing in the ears of every Master present.

Subsequently, countless millions of gray rays gathered in the starry sky, and upon condensing, transformed into an elder wearing a douli and clad in gray robes, appearing a hundred feet away from Ning Fan, his expression impossible to discern amidst a demeanor of authority.

"We of Zaoyang Mountain, pay respects to the Ancestor!"

The countless practitioners of Zaoyang Mountain, the moment the elder appeared, found their backbone and no longer feared Ning Fan, respectfully bowing. Even the Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings dared not be negligent, all paying tributes to the elder.

This elder was the master of Zaoyang Mountain... Great Emperor Chonghe!

Facing this person, even Ning Fan felt a hitch in his breath. It was the first time he truly faced the oppression of an Immortal Emperor with his cultivation!

If he doesn’t unleash the complete God-Slaying Giant... he won’t withstand a single blow from this Emperor! This was the stark difference in cultivation Ning Fan felt when facing Great Emperor Chonghe!

Immortal Emperor, beyond his victory! But if he reveals all his cards...

"Borrowed the Thunder Flashing Mirror, yet didn’t return it, this matter indeed places Flying Thunder and the others in the wrong... But you also injured Wushe and Thunder Fish, and I, as the master of Zaoyang Mountain, cannot stand by idly in this matter, are you aware!"

"Take one strike of divine skills from me! If you survive, I will allow you to take away the Thunder Flashing Mirror, and the matter will be settled! If you die, your teacher Ancient Chaos will come to seek revenge for you; his character is most protective. You can rest in peace!"

Great Emperor Chonghe actually gave Ning Fan no room for refusal, directly raising his hand, pressing downward toward Ning Fan.

With the press, the entire starry sky immediately alternated between day and night, reversing yin and yang... (To be continued.
