"Young friend, are you satisfied with the first gift this old man has given you?"
On the ninth layer of the Divine Tomb, the Ancient Chaos, holding the Spirit of a red-eyed elder, smiled as he spoke to Ning Fan.
With a wave of his hand, he directly handed the drowsy, dying Spirit over to Ning Fan.
He had witnessed Ning Fan’s secret technique for refining Spirits and could infer its specific divine skills to an extent.
Understanding that this Spirit would be useful to Ning Fan, he could only provide him with this one.
He had an agreent with the Shenxu Progenitor and thus could not act recklessly or engage in excessive slaughter here...
Ning Fan’s expression seed as calm as a still lake, but inside, he remained in a state of shock.
He never imagined that the final three layers of the Divine Tomb were all mausoleums of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor.
The Chaotic Ancient Phantom could roam freely here, reigning supre, and upon erging, demon soldiers would tremble! Five swords drawn, evil cultivators perished! With a re thought, even the spirit sense of Shenkong the Great Emperor was severely injured, likely causing significant harm to the physical body!
"According to the Chaotic Ancient Phantom, all he did was to test , and now it seems he wasn’t lying... These last three layers are his burial grounds, if he truly intended to harm , I wouldn’t have escaped from his grasp the mont I stepped into the seventh layer... He doesn’t seem to harbor ill intentions towards , instead, he bestows favors upon repeatedly..."
"The trace of red light in my blood before was a fortuitous encounter he bestowed upon ; aiding in slaying this evil cultivator was also a grace he bestowed upon ..."
Gazing at the Spirit of the red-eyed elder, Ning Fan remained silent for a mont, suddenly activating the secret technique of the Divine Blast Technique, extinguishing and refining the Spirit, placing it into the Soul Bag.
In this manner, he killed another Fragnted Thought, and the Evil Qi naturally grew denser.
The Soul Bag now contained the first Fragnted Thought Spirit; using the Divine Blast Technique to explode this Fragnted Thought Spirit alone could potentially blast a Late-Stage Shattering Void Old Monster to death, even those at the peak of Shekong would have to fear Ning Fan by three parts!
Having done all this, Ning Fan clasped his fists and bowed to the Chaotic Ancient Phantom, finally believing in his words, sweeping away all the lingering doubts in his heart.
"Thank you, Senior, for stepping in and helping slay this demon!"
"Why thank , didn’t you previously say you rember the kindness this old man showed you and regarded this old man as a master... If you consider this old man your master, you are naturally my disciple, hence this old man could not stand by and watch you being bullied by others! In ancient tis, if you only declared yourself a disciple of the Lieyuan Sect, even the Initial Saints wouldn’t dare suppress you! Because you are this old man’s disciple!"
When he said these words, the Chaotic Ancient Phantom’s expression was full of arrogance and dominance over the world.
Ning Fan had passed his test and rembered the grace of his legacy, such a person was qualified to be accepted as a disciple of the Ancient Chaos.
"Lieyuan Sect disciple?" Ning Fan was slightly startled, unfamiliar with this title, yet he did not reject it.
Without the Ancient Chaos legacy, he would not be who he is today; as long as Ancient Chaos bore no ill intentions towards him, Ning Fan would rember the past kindness and naturally regard Ancient Chaos as his master.
"Indeed, you are the old man’s heir, naturally considered a disciple of the Lieyuan Sect, you must rember this in your heart. The Lieyuan Sect was an immortal sect founded single-handedly by my master, Saint Luyuan, and I am the second Sect Master..."
Speaking of past matters, a trace of sorrow flickered in the eyes of the Chaotic Ancient Phantom, after a montary pause, he said to Ning Fan,
"Slaying Xue Daofei, helping you remove an enemy, was the first gift the old man gave you... And now, the old man will give you a second gift. Follow ."
After saying this, the Chaotic Ancient Phantom used his Daoist Thought, once again taking Ning Fan and disappearing from the original place.
In a flash, they traversed countless distances, arriving at the end of the Western Region World on the ninth layer!
Here, an uncountable number of powerful demon creatures lay in wait.
In sight was a range of winding Yin Mountains shaped like dragons, at the foothills stood a gigantic magic formation, with twelve Celestial Pillars.
The Celestial Pillars opened a large golden formation, sealing a Demon Well filled with black Qi rising to the heavens.
Around the Demon Well, nurous powerful demon creatures originally sat cross-legged, devouring Demonic Qi and cultivating.
Among these demon creatures, there were no lack of Enlightened beings, those at the Late Stage of Shattering Void, and even those surpassing Fragnted Thoughts.
In the outside world, none of these demon creatures would be insignificant.
But the mont the Chaotic Ancient Phantom descended with Ning Fan, all the demons turned pale with fright, no longer maintaining the composure of senior figures, exclaiming loudly,
"It’s the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor! Wasn’t he just in the far distance killing soone, how did he suddenly arrive here!"
"The Demonic Qi Surge! Surely, he has co for the Demonic Qi Surge again! Anyone who obstructs his devouring of the Demonic Qi will surely be killed! It’s always been like this!"
"No way, the Demonic Qi Surge occurs once every thousand years, and there are still a hundred years before the next Demonic Qi Surge... He shouldn’t be here for the Demonic Qi Surge..."
Amidst the demon horde’s fear, the Chaotic Ancient Phantom’s gaze turned cold, sweeping fiercely across the demon grounds.
Just with a sweep of his gaze, the demons spewed blood, their eyes towards the Chaotic Ancient Phantom filled with even more dread.
"My disciple wishes to cultivate here, and does not want to be disturbed. All unrelated demons, retreat beyond a million miles!"
"Yes, yes, we will withdraw imdiately... We plead with the Emperor not to engage in reckless battle..."
No demon dared to question the commands of the Chaotic Ancient Phantom.
No one dared to be as bold as the red-eyed elder to ask why there was suddenly a disciple if the Ancient Chaos had fallen for many years.
Regardless of cultivation level, at the command of the Chaotic Ancient Phantom, all demons madly retreated from this place.
As the demon horde departed, anyone with a heart could see Ning Fan with shock, morizing Ning Fan’s appearance.
They had to rember that this person was a disciple of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, and must not be provoked...
In less than ten breaths, the demon horde had all retreated beyond a million miles.
Ning Fan looked at the Demon Well within the sealed formation, the overflowing Demonic Qi, his expression gradually turned solemn.
If he guessed correctly, this Demon Well should be the fabled Well of Covenant, connecting the Eastern Heaven and the Ancient Demon Abyss.
The Crystal Slave dispatched by Demon Luo—Thousand-Leaved Demon Luo, ca to Eastern Heaven through here...
"This Well of Covenant was personally opened by the Shenxu Progenitor, to draw in Demonic Qi and nurture the old man’s bones... The world fractured, the Ancient Demon Abyss divided into nine, the well should connect to the fourth Demon Abyss... Each millennial, this Demon Well amasses enough Demonic Qi and experiences an overflow. The last overflow was nine hundred years ago, this well has accumulated nine hundred years’ worth of Demonic Qi, enough to help you slightly break through the Heavenly Demon Barrier! This is the second gift from the old man! Formation, open!"
The Chaotic Ancient Phantom raised his hand, and the light of the magic formation at the location imdiately dissipated.
In the next instant, the nine hundred years of accumulated Demonic Qi in the Demon Well explosively surged forth!
With just a grasp of the Ancient Chaos’s fingers, the Demonic Qi was instantly confined within a hundred-zhang, unable to escape far.
"Hurry and devour!" reminded the Chaotic Ancient Phantom from the side.
Facing the oncoming wave of Demonic Qi, Ning Fan hesitated only briefly, then imdiately took a step forward, entering the dense Demonic Qi alone.
The Demonic Qi here was extrely pure, even demons at the Shattering Void or Fragnted Thoughts stages could use it to cultivate.
Such pure Demonic Qi, accumulated over nine hundred years, if entirely devoured by Ning Fan alone, could present a significant chance for his Ancient Demon cultivations to advance, breaking through the Heavenly Demon Realm barrier in one stroke!
This was the second gift the Ancient Chaos gave him...
Every strand of Demonic Qi here weighed as heavily as a mountain, and as nine hundred years’ worth of Demonic Qi surged towards Ning Fan, he imdiately felt a sense of being oppressed by the heavens.
Without any hesitation, Ning Fan maximized the activation of the Demon Seal within his body, and a strong ancestral Demon aura erupted, radiating crazily from Ning Fan’s center throughout the place!
Facing the Demonic Qi again, the pressing sensation was no more.
"Devour!"
Ning Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, opened his mouth wide, and began to inhale, absorbing the countless Demonic Qi in the area like a whale.
The Ancient Demon cultivation, which had already reached the peak of the Tikeeper’s Realm, was fiercely assaulting the bottleneck of the next realm at this mont.
The eighth level of the Tikeeper’s Realm corresponds to the Human Profound Ghost Profound Eight Realms.
The next Ancient Demon Realm—Twelve Nirvana of the Heavenly Demon, corresponds to the twelve minor realms of Enlightennt, Shedding Void, and mumbling!
For Ancient Demon Masters, a Heavenly Demon is equivalent to a True Immortal!
As ti passed by, the Demonic Qi here grew less and less, ultimately all being absorbed by Ning Fan.
He seed to transform into a statue, sitting cross-legged, breathing and absorbing.
The essence within him, however, grew more stable and powerful as ti went on.
One day, two days, three days...
On the tenth day, Ning Fan abruptly opened his eyes, and the nine-hundred-year-old Demonic Qi from the Demon Well transford into his deafening demonic roar!
Roar!
He suddenly stood up, countless rune patterns flowing wildly on his body, and the essence within him transford into a storm at this mont, violently sweeping through millions of miles!
At this mont, he was no longer an Ancient Demon of the Tikeeper’s Realm; he had broken through the bottleneck and beco a Heavenly Demon!
Suddenly, within a million miles, clouds of tribulation densely gathered, and a giant demon’s shadow appeared between heaven and earth.
The giant demon wielded a black lightning bolt, and in the instant it appeared, it struck down towards Ning Fan with that Demon Thunder!
The power of that Demon Thunder was not weaker than the natal green thunderbolt Ning Fan had previously obtained!
This strike was heaven’s test for the Ancient Demon.
Out of a hundred Ancient Demons, only one could survive this Demon Thunder by chance; the rest would all die under the Demon Thunder!
The bottleneck of the Heavenly Demon was much easier to break through than that of Enlightennt, but it was fraught with mortal danger!
If one feared this danger, then they were not qualified to beco an Ancient Demon!
"Do you need to help you withstand the tribulation?" the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor asked indifferently.
"No need!"
Ning Fan took a stride, leaping into the sky, the blood-red star on his forehead flickering.
With a wave of his hand, a gigantic lightning diagram instantly appeared in front of him, blocking the path of the black lightning.
The black lightning ca fiercely, directly into the lightning diagram, and began wreaking havoc within.
Ning Fan’s face imdiately turned pale, internal injuries rapidly accumulating, yet his expression showed no fear.
If he feared this tribulation even slightly, he wouldn’t be worthy of being a generation’s Ancient Demon!
He fiercely pointed at the lightning diagram, and then collected it inside the diagram along with the black lightning!
Forcefully absorbing the black lightning, he suffered a heavy backlash, imdiately retreating in the sky as if struck by a heavy blow.
But his gaze remained steady, and apart from the green thunder on his forehead, there was now a second black thunderbolt, serving as his additional life-saving tool.
"So you’ve forcibly subdued the power of the Demon Thunder..." the Ancient Chaos smiled approvingly.
As his disciple, you should have the courage to seize the tribulation of the heavens.
The tribulation clouds gradually disappeared, and the giant demon’s shadow also slowly vanished.
Ning Fan consud expensive pills to suppress his internal injuries and landed on the ground.
He introspected himself, feeling his physical defense now more than twice as powerful as before, and showed a satisfied expression.
At this mont, although his Magic Power Cultivation was still at the Ghost Profound Realm, his Ancient Demon cultivation was at the First Nirvana of Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon is equivalent to Enlightennt!
The First Nirvana of the Heavenly Demon is tantamount to the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth!
At this mont, he is no longer a junior facing Enlightennt; he can be considered an equal to Enlightennt!
"Thank you, Senior, for granting Demonic Qi and helping break through to the Heavenly Demon Realm!" Ning Fan clasped his fists in gratitude towards the Chaotic Ancient Phantom.
"It was nothing, no need to thank ... I intend to give you a third gift. You seem to have cultivated the Great Emperor of the Big Dipper’s Cultivation Technique—the Beidou Celestial To?" the Chaotic Ancient Phantom suddenly asked.
"Yes..." Ning Fan paused, but eventually admitted to the Ancient Chaos.
He did not know if the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, coming from the Purple Dou Immortal Domain, would take issue with this cultivation technique.
Since the Ancient Chaos bore him no malice, he had no reason to deliberately conceal it.
"Rest assured, old man will not ask where this technique ca from. You are my disciple, and I will naturally trust you. Co with !"
The Chaotic Ancient Phantom moved his Daoist Thought, instantly transporting Ning Fan to a demon nest.
In this lair, there was an old monster with a beast’s head and a human body, sitting cross-legged in ditation.
Behind him, demon corpses were piled high, his previous kills.
His cultivation was not high in the Ninth Layer of the Divine Mausoleum, but he had a point of pride—his fortune was higher than that of an ordinary Shedding Void cultivator.
This ant he often had exceptional luck in battles of the sa level, repeatedly defeating the strong despite his weakness, collecting enemy heads...
His fortune level was the second color of Immortal Fate.
When the Chaotic Ancient Phantom brought Ning Fan outside the nest, this beast-headed Shedding Void demon was imdiately alard, without saying a word, he rushed out of the lair, his face full of terror, and bowed fearfully toward the Chaotic Ancient Phantom.
"Your Majesty graces my humble abode, and I did not co out to greet you, please forgive !"
"No need for unnecessary words, Moye, do you rember you owe a life!"
"Of course, I rember! That day, a Quasi-Emperor Demon Creature’s contract lost control and went on a rampage on the ninth layer. If it weren’t for Your Majesty slaying that demon, I’d be dead... My life was saved by you, Your Majesty, if you need it, you may take it..."
"I’m not interested in your life, what I want is your fortune! Will you surrender your fortune to ?"
"This..."
The beast-headed demon was startled, then gritted its teeth and bowed to the Chaotic Ancient Phantom, "If His Majesty can take my fortune, he may do so at will! However, as far as I know, there is no divine skill in this world that can seize another’s fortune..."
"Is that so... You, try to take his fortune!" the Ancient Chaos said as he deeply looked at the beast-headed demon and then spoke to Ning Fan.
The third gift he intended to give Ning Fan was to aid him in cultivating the Big Dipper Celestial To, raising his fortune to an extrely high realm!
