Chapter 537: Chapter 537: I’m Your Tribulation Ning Fan stepped onto the ancient golden sword with a cold glint in his eyes as he went straight after the three demonesses.
The three of them had been spying on him. Besides, they did not conceal their killing intent against Ning Fan at all. Since they harbored ill intentions toward him, it was impossible for Ning Fan to let them go.
The speed of his ancient sword was close to the Void Fragmentation Realm. The three demonesses could not outrun him at all. Within just a few breaths, Ning Fan had already caught up with them.
Ning Fan kept his ancient sword and stood coldly in front of them, blocking their escape route.
"This is bad! That malevolent being has caught up to us!"
"We can’t run away from him. The speed of his golden ancient sword is too terrifying. There is literally no way for us to escape from him!"
"He didn’t summon his Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets. Let’s just fight him with all we have!"
The three demoness were clearly aware that they had no hope of escaping and the only choice they had was to fight desperately against Ning Fan.
Without hesitation, each of them took out their natal magic treasures and delivered an attack at Ning Fan.
"Demon Bone Fan!"
"Yin Phoenix Stings!"
"Poisonous King Cauldron!"
The three magic treasures were all High Grade Mortal Void Realm treasures. They headed straight toward Ning Fan’s head. Their vigorous momentum shook heaven and earth.
Ning Fan, however, maintained a neutral expression. With a flick of his sleeve, he took out a blood umbrella and pointed it at the three incoming treasures.
As the blood umbrella spread open, it gave off faint red halos of spirit wheels which pulled all three magic treasures into the umbrella.
The three demonesses were greatly shocked. The blood umbrella that Ning Fan used was too unusual. Besides, despite his Void Inquiry Stage magic power, he could actually deal with High Grade Mortal Void Realm magic treasures so easily!?
Judging from their situation, the three demonesses could not put up a fight against Ning Fan at all unless they used Peak Grade Mortal Void Realm magic treasures!
Furthermore, if Ning Fan breaks through to the Void Pierce Stage, he could probably directly take away every magic treasure below the Void Fragmentation Realm and even Immortal Void Realm magic treasures using his blood umbrella!
"Since our magic treasures can’t hurt him, we’ll use our demon techniques to kill him!"
Panic-stricken, the three ladies made a series of hand seals together. A massive void sea appeared beneath their feet and roiling demon power began to fill the sky.
Ning Fan naturally would not give them the chance to display their magic techniques. He stepped onto his ancient sword and turned into a pure golden sword ray, abruptly vanishing into nothingness.
When he appeared again, he was already behind the three ladies. He gathered his magic power in his hand to summon a half-black and half-white rope and cast it at the three demonesses.
The three demonesses felt danger from the black and white rope. They wanted to avoid it but they could not make it in time at all.
The rope suddenly sped up. All they could see was a flash of light and they were already bound by it.
This black and white rope was clearly not as powerful as Giant Zi Dian’s lightning chains. However, when it tied around their bodies, it actually sealed off all of their magic power, weakening their bodies and restricting their mobility!
Their expressions grew pale with fright. The three of them realized that the black and white rope was some type of extremely scary bewitching technique that specialized in restraining female cultivators!
This technique was none other than the Yin Imprisoning Rope Technique that Ning Fan had used to capture Old Ancestor Bi Tong in the past!
Yin Plucking Finger, Yin Imprisoning Rope... The further Ning Fan cultivated in the Yin Yang Transformation, the scarier those techniques would be in restraining female cultivators.
"From today on, all of you will be my human cauldrons!"
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he dragged the three demonesses back to the desolate island. After a session of plucking, the three of them were only left with cultivation bases at the Harmonious Spirit Realm. Then, he put them in the repentance palace of his Cauldron World.
Well, he was not a kind and magnanimous person. If someone tries to harm him, he would certainly not show them mercy.
Ning Fan had fused his magic power, demon power and devil qi together in the past. Even though the human cauldrons he plucked were demonesses, they could still raise his magic power. After plucking the three of them, his magic power rose by two hundred thousand units, reaching eight million and two hundred thousand units in total.
Combined with nine million units of essence qi in him, the total amount of his magic power and essence qi had reached a terrifying figure of seventeen million and two hundred thousand, making him not that far away from the threshold of an Absolute Void Stage expert – twenty million units of magic power.
Theoretically speaking, when Ning Fan accumulates thirty-six million units of magic power, he would be able to start trying to push through the bottleneck of the Void Fragmentation Realm. However, his chances of achieving a successful breakthrough were extremely slim.
Many Absolute Void Stage old monsters had even accumulated eighty to ninety million units of magic power but still only a few of them managed to successfully break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm. The rest eventually died due to their lifespans having come to an end.
The amount of magic power required to advance to the Void Fragmentation Realm was just too massive. At the Void Fragmentation Realm, units turn to yuan. The unit of measure of magic power was no longer a unit but a yuan.
A unit was 60 years but a yuan1 was 129600 years.
Void Refinement Realm magic power and Void Fragmentation Realm magic power were not on the same level. Hence, it was extremely difficult for Void Fragmentation Realm experts to disregard the difference of cultivation levels and defeat someone with a higher cultivation level.
If Ning Fan wants to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm, he must find some Void Fragmentation Realm arts to cultivate when he reaches the Absolute Void Stage to turn his unital magic power into yuan magic power...
As for exactly how many yuan of magic power one would need to achieve the Void Fragmentation Realm, it was different for each and every single person. Ning Fan was also not sure of it.
There were a few Void Fragmentation Realm experts around him. Unfortunately, none of them had the same situation as Ning Fan who fused his magic power, demon power and devil qi into one. Without a doubt, the verbal spells or arts that other Void Fragmentation Realm experts used would not be suitable for Ning Fan.
If he wants to advance to the Void Fragmentation Realm, he must find a Void Fragmentation Realm art that is suitable for all three races – the demon race, devil race and human race to practice... Well, it would probably take him a lot of effort in order to find this kind of art.
"I’ll only need a Void Fragmentation Realm art after breaking through to the Absolute Void Stage. I’ve just recently attained the Void Inquiry Stage and the Absolute Void Stage is still very far away. Hence, there is no need to be in a hurry to search for an art that is suitable for me..."
"As I’ve already broken through to the Void Inquiry Stage, no female cultivator below the Void Fragmentation Realm will be my match. Male cultivators, on the other hand... With my current cultivation level, I’m certainly unrivalled among all Void Pierce Stage experts. And I should be able to put up a fight against an Absolute Void Stage expert who has yet to turn their unital magic power into yuan. However, if I face those Absolute Void Stage cultivators who have successfully obtained yuan magic power, I’m afraid that I won’t have high odds of defeating them..."
Ning Fan muttered to himself on the desolate island. After quite some time, he left the South Gazing Sea in a flash of light.
At the border between the South Gazing Sea and the eight hundred cultivation countries, Ning Fan suddenly stopped moving with a surprised look on his face.
On the shore of a cultivation country near the South Gazing Sea, a lady was quietly standing on a reef, gazing into the sea waves all alone. She seemed to be waiting for someone.
That lady wore a set of snow-white plumage dress and a light veil to cover her face. Her long sleeves made her look graceful and her eyes were beautiful. Her expression, however, was cold and arrogant. She looked like a saintess who looked down on the mundane world and led a life aloof from the mundane world.
Her presence emanated a Mid Nascent Soul Realm qi. She had been staring blankly at the ebbs and flows of the ocean waves without speaking a single word.
Only when she noticed Ning Fan’s travelling light pass by did she raise her head and look into the sky. Her eyes contained resentment, longing and complicated emotions.
