As a Demon General, one would need capable and competent Demon Soldiers to guard a domain. Among the seven hundred Demon Soldiers in the Luo Yun Tribe, perhaps Ning Fan would be regarded as one of the top cultivators! Therefore, a person like him was definitely worth it for Lu Sheng to lower himself and befriend him.
The words uttered by the Demon General struck awe into each and every one of the demons who prostrated on the ground due to the immense pressure.
Lu Sheng’s words showed his intention of befriending Ning Fan. At the same time, this also served as a warning to the rest of the demons at the scene – If anyone dares to offend Ning Fan in Northern Desert City, it merely implies that they’re not giving him face, the Demon General!
But when his words echoed into Ning Fan’s ears, they were not able to move his heart.
He silently stood at the eight floor, clutching Xiao Huan’s hands while sensing the Violent Qi within his body with his eyes closed.
All of his Violent Qi had already fused into his aura force, making it advance into the Early Spirit Severing Realm. To him, it was an unexpected gain. But he could no longer depend on his Violent Qi to raise his aura force…
Violent Qi was obtained from killing Nascent Souls of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators as killing them would disrupt the harmony of the primordial qi of heaven and earth.
Baleful Qi was obtained from killing Primordial Spirits of Spirit Severing Realm experts. It was because killing them meant defying the will of the Heavens which would in turn enrage the Heavens, leaving such qi in the killer’s body.
“Baleful Qi! Yes. In order to raise my pressure to the Mid Spirit Severing Realm, I must possess Baleful Qi. In other words, I must at the very least kill one Spirit Severing Realm being to obtain Baleful Qi and only then could my aura force break through to the Mid Spirit Severing Realm…Spirit Severing Realm expert. Apparently, I haven’t really killed one myself. But today, he will be the first one I kill! I will depend on the Baleful Qi of that person to break through to the next level!”
Ning Fan slapped on his storage pouch and took out a jade bottle. Without hesitation, he crushed it with his hand.
The single Primordial Spirit which was sealed within the jade bottle fell into his hand and immediately swallowed it down!
It was the Primordial Spirit of the vice sect master of the Black Buddha Sect, Evil Light!
Instantly, Ning Fan’s body began to be filled with a trace of ferocious Baleful Qi for the first time! Then, he continued to climb the next flight of stairs which would lead him to the ninth floor!
No one in the fifth floor had any idea of what had Ning Fan eaten!
However, the trace of Baleful Qi which came out from nowhere caused Lu Sheng to feel chills running down his back.
“Baleful Qi?! This kid is just an Early Nascent Soul Realm being. How can he possibly kill a Spirit Severing Realm being? Why does he have Baleful Qi in him?! A qi like that can even make me dreadful. If it isn’t Baleful Qi, then what else could it be?!”
Originally, Lu Sheng presumed that Ning Fan would not be capable of climbing up to the ninth floor.
However, his assumption was shattered by Ning Fan step by step!
*Dong, Dong, Dong —*
The ringing of the bell resounded loudly!
On the ninth floor, the aura force which was equivalent to the Mid Spirit Severing Realm went towards Ning Fan, causing pain to his Sea of Consciousness. Blood began to flow out from the corners of his mouth.
After the Nascent Soul Realm, the difference between every small realm was worlds apart.
When one attains the Spirit Severing Realm, the gap in power between every small realm was even wider.
Mid Spirit Severing Realm aura force. If Lu Sheng tries to withstand it at such close distance without caution, he might even be sent flying away by it. However, instead of being sent away by the aura force, Ning Fan only bled upon facing that tremendous aura force.
Lu Sheng’s brows knitted tightly together. He started to feel that the more he studied this insignificant winged-demon, Lu Bei, the more he could not see through him.
In the fifth floor, each of the demons of the Luo Yun Tribe held their breaths, not daring to make a single noise. They were afraid that they might disturb Ning Fan’s focus in climbing the stairs.
In the meantime, the shadow of Ning Fan’s back became even more imposing. Under that shadow, each of the demons felt that they were as insignificant as ants.
Whereas Ning Fan was like a star in the sky, which was high up and beyond their grasp!
One step. It’s just one step away from the ninth floor.
Ning Fan’s eyes shone with determination. When he made the last step to the ninth floor, Ming Yu Building creaked. The tables and chairs trembled violently and the building began to sway, as if it was on the verge of collapsing!
The Baleful Qi which he obtained after engulfing Evil Light’s Primordial Spirit rapidly fused into his aura force.
A mighty aura force which was as massive as a giant dragon spread throughout the building. Under such an aura force, even the Demon General, Lu Sheng, who lifted his hand to shield his sister Lu Wan’er had to retreat a few steps to offset it. His eyes widened in amazement.
“Mid Spirit Severing Realm! This kid’s aura force has actually attained the Spirit Severing Realm while his demon power is just at the Early Nascent Soul Realm!”
In the entire territory of the Luo Yun Tribe which was a billion li* large, only the Honorable Demon General, the Cloud General, Lu Daochen, possessed Mid Spirit Severing Realm aura force!
“This kid is certainly the most outstanding being in my Luo Yun Tribe in ten thousand years. He must be treated with lavish gifts and no one shall do harm to him! If Lu Zongyun dares to play tricks on him when he is in the Bloodline Pool, I will definitely annihilate Lu Zongyun’s whole family!”
