The ones who were leading the group of shadows were Lin Su and his two elderly seniors.
These three virtual shadows had already lost their spiritual intelligence. The only thing that they still remembered was that they had a grudge with Ning Fan. To them, it could not be any better to kill him.
“A bunch of annoying flies!”
Ning Fan shifted his gaze to the incoming fifty-three Divine Transformation Realm virtual shadows behind him, his eyes turning grim. Without any hesitation, he activated the trace of power which he planted inside the bodies of Lin Su and the two elderly experts earlier using his Wind Snow Technique.
Traces of black icy snow appeared out of nowhere. Before those three virtual shadows could come to their senses, they had already been turned into three black ice sculptures.
The three of them perished and the color of the stone slate beneath their feet had immediately changed from white to purple again.
The remaining fifty Divine Transformation virtual shadows at the back were blankly staring at the seven purple stone slates in front of them. Each of them went with their own choices and simply stepped on one of the stone slates.
In the blink of an eye, the purple stone slates changed colours. Whoever stepped on the black slates were all cut down by black rays and died screaming in pain. In an instant, six-sevenths of the Realm Slaves perished, leaving only seven Divine Transformation Realm virtual shadows who luckily survived. Each of them were still wearing a blank look.
Due to that incident, Ning Fan had already pulled the distance between him and the Realm Slaves further apart. They were now finding it difficult to follow Ning Fan’s steps. When the surviving group of Realm Slaves made another step, six of them died and only one survived. When the last of them leaped onto another stone slate, he had stepped onto a black one and perished.
“This group of Realm Slaves had all died… Phew! Finally, we’re safe…” Xi Ran patted her chest and said.
“Mm. Fortunately, the ones who were at the forefront of the group following our footsteps were Lin Su and his seniors…”
Ning Fan put away his thoughts and carefully distinguished the colours of the stone slaves. In just half a day, they had successfully passed through two-thirds of this formation.
“How could that man run so fast?!”
Outside the formation, the cloaked burly man was startled inwardly. This Zi Wei Black Palace Formation was an Immortal Void Realm Formation. Even if he were the one who personally entered the formation, he would also be unable to move as quickly as Ning Fan.
With his level in the Dao of Formations, it would at least take him ten days to pass through this formation. If he becomes confused by the formation, he might even be stuck within it for months.
However, through the Realm Sense Technique, the cloaked burly man saw Ning Fan and his group pass through the grand formation like child’s play.
As for the Realm Slaves he sent to hunt them down, all of them were dead.
The cloaked burly man’s expression darkened. Now, he had no choice but to personally take action and pursue Ning Fan!
Ning Fan and the others’ goal was to pass through the eighteen layers of the gates of life and death at the end of the Zi Wei Black Palace Formation. Once they reach the other side of the formation, even the cloaked burly man would not be able to catch them.
In fact, it seemed like it was a little too late to pursue Ning Fan now.
“Don’t tell me that this Lu Bei’s level in the Dao of Formations is comparable to a Formation Immortal! Otherwise, how is it possible for him to travel through the formation at such a terrifying speed?”
Based on the cloaked burly man’s level in the Dao of Formations which was pitiably weak, it was totally impossible for him to catch up to Ning Fan by moving through the stone slates step by step.
As such, the cloaked burly man decided not to distinguish which of the seven stone slates was the stone of life.
In this Zi Wei Black Palace Formation, seven steps would decide one’s life and death. To Divine Formation Realm and even Void Refinement Realm experts, taking a single wrong step would cause them to die instantly.
However, to the cloaked burly man, he would at most suffer some injuries even if he makes a wrong step.
Although his cultivation level had dropped, he was still an expert of the Crossing Truth Realm. The strength and endurance of his body were still the same.
When he made a step into the formation, he landed on one of the seven purple stone slates. In the twinkling of an eye, the colour of the stone slates changed and the one which he was stepping on turned… black!
Traces of black-colored formation power shot out from the slate onto the burly man’s body. However, they only left a few barely visible cuts on him.
From that scene, the degree of hardness of his physical body could be proven. It was also possible that even if the Realm Beast stands right at a spot for Ning Fan to cut, the latter might not necessarily be able to cut the Realm Beast down.
“Lu Bei, you can’t run away from me!”
The Realm Beast sneered evilly and transformed into a ray of travelling light. It moved like a floating light which skimmed through the air, passing through countless formation eyes. No matter how much formation power attacked him or how many scars were left on his body, he would just occasionally make a grunt. There was no sign of him dying at all.
However, his injuries were also worsening at the same time…
The cloaked burly man’s voice reverberated throughout the entire Star Palace. When it reached Ning Fan and the others’ ears, all the women’s countenances changed, making Yue Lingkong straightforwardly curse in a sulky tone.
“A lunatic! This guy is literally rampaging through this Immortal Void Realm Formation. He is really a lunatic! I thought Little Cucumber was already crazy enough, but this guy is even crazier! What should we do?! With his current speed, he would surely catch up with us before we exit the formation!”
“There’s nothing we can do. If he really catches up to us, we must try our best to buy time!”
Ning Fan now had a clearer understanding about the strength of this Realm Beast.
This Realm Beast is basically a Void Refinement Realm expert with a True Immortal level physical defense!
Even if he faces a Void Fragmentation Realm old monster’s attack, he would be brave enough to block it with his physical body!
“Bei Yao, you need to be quicker…” Ning Fan clenched his fists tightly. It was really a matter of life and death this time.
Outside of the Star Palace, all the top talents had already given up on entering the Star Palace. There was no longer anyone trying to attack the surface of the Star Palace or seek for other entrances.
At this moment, all of them were holding their breaths and staying concentrated, as if they were waiting for something.
What they were waiting to see was whether the outstanding young man, Lu Bei, would be killed by that True Immortal expert…
“It has been almost ten days. We still haven’t heard any angry roars of the True Immortal. Could it be that Lu Bei has already died?”
“No idea. After all, who can escape from the hands of a True Immortal with their Divine Transformation Realm cultivation …”
Everyone there had their own thoughts and theories. However, all their minds were filled with great shock when they heard another bellow of rage from that Realm Beast.
“Judging from the tone… it is apparent that the True Immortal… was injured again!”
“It’s impossible! Could it be that Lu Bei has managed to hurt a True Immortal?!”
