Chapter 133: Chapter 133

Under the command of Ji Mo, the three ships at different position halted in the sky above Ning City.

On the ships, approximately three thousand disciples of Extreme Yin Gate opened their mouths and spat out a gloomily evil Yin Pearl from their dantian. Anyhow, Extreme Yin Gate was a first-class devil sect. Since they were determined to sacrifice their Yin Pearl, each of their expression became fierce.

With Ji Mo’s signal, three thousand Yin Pearls were launched out at the same time, emitting the clatters of sharp ice and crashing into the formation light. In the later history of Yue Country, this event would be known as the life-and-death war of Yue Armies and Devils that turned the battle scene white-hot at the beginning of the war.

A single Yin Pearl was enough to injure a Harmonious Spirit expert, but when three thousand Yin Pearls were launched simultaneously from three different directions, even a Nascent Realm Grand Formation was beginning to be corroded by the evil qi. Fortunately, each formation eye was quickly replenished with immortal jades. So apart from a slight weakening of the light, the grand formation remained intact after this round of attack.

Even so, it had given Old Monster Ji Mo a huge relief as it now seemed possible for the three thousand Yin Pearls to break the grand formation. Earlier, he did feel somewhat nervous.

With three thousand disciples and three thousand Yin Pearls, there would be no trouble sustaining five rounds of attacks…He, Ji Mo, would like to see if five rounds of attacks could take down Ning City!

“Continue to attack the city!”

At his command, three thousand Yin Pearls trailed a long stream of yin light and collided with the formation light and produced staggering sounds.

It was like a magical treasure designed to attack a city and its power wasn’t like the small and exquisite pearl, but the power of the Spiritual Artillery Cannon!

The second round of attack had thoroughly destroyed the formation light of Forbidden Space. Fissures had also begun to appear in the formation light of the Defensive Formation.

The scene after scene of attacks was clearly witnessed by Ning Fan. His facial expression remained indifferent.

He was waiting for the enemies to expend all their efforts and launch the final strike. At that time, he would activate the Shock Repulsion Formation.

In between his eyebrows, a starlight flickered. As Tian Yizi had expected, this star was the great benefit Ning Fan had acquired when he broke through the Silver Bone Realm and stimulated its divine attribute.

Every star of fiend god contained some kind of innate ability. And, as the number of stars increased, there would be more abilities. Each ability of the star could tremendously enhance one’s strength.

The fiendgod of Silver Bone Realm could cultivate one star at most.

The fiendgod of Golden Body Realm could cultivate two stars at most.

In the ancient times, there were fiendgods who created god and devil treasures in the star of fiendgod, its effect was tenfold greater than in dantian. Naturally, those items that were crafted in the star had to be immemorial divine weapons!

If there was someone who could see through the light of the star, that person would discover a Starlight Sword Shadow being immersed in innumerable lightning in the star between Ning Fan’s eyebrows; the first one star immemorial divine weapon he acquired was the Separation Slayer. Besides that, the innate ability that was inspired by his one star was named Imperial Lighting!

The innate ability of a one star fiendgod was just like the Vein Opening cultivators. Most of them had the attributes of a fiendgod. The fiendgod attribute that Ning Fan had stimulated was lightning! During ancient times, only a few immortals richly endowed with talents could stimulate the Star of Imperial Lightning, although there were also several lighting gods in the Thunder Tribe of the Ancient Heavenly Court that could shake the Heavens and Earth. As for devils…this kind, however, could not unlock the Star of lightning, because lighting was the punishing hands of the Heavens, the God’s will. Without the god attribute, one wouldn’t have lighting.

Condensing the star of Imperial Light made Ning Fan confirm that his Yin Yang Devil Vein was a bizarre devil vein that cultivated both Divine and Devil cultivation.

As far as the power of this kind of devil vein was concerned, it might not be as strong as the Solar Divine Vein, as bizarre as the Desolate Incantation Devil Vein, as hard to be destroyed as the Undying Devil Vein, but in terms of Dao Law, it obviously appeared to be more profound…Ning Fan indistinctly felt that there is only one Yin Yang Devil Vein in the Heavens and Earth that could cultivate both Divine and Devil Cultivation.

Perhaps the reputation of the Divine-Devil Cultivation wasn’t often heard in the Ancient Chaos Immortal Emperor, but this Yin Yang Devil Vein contained the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

As for the Dual Cultivation of Yin Yang Locket – which was mainly about plucking…could be understood by Ning Fan. The Ancient Chaos Immortal Emperor had first unlocked the divine attribute, then used the function of plucking of the Yin Yang Locket to experience the desire to temper his devil heart…As to why the Yin Yang Locket only had such restraint against women and harmless to men, perhaps, the Ancient Chaos Immortal Emperor had his own private reasons.

A glitter flashed in Ning Fan’s eyes. Given his Star of Imperial Lightning and the body refining technique of Silver Bone Realm, it was sufficient for him to stay undefeated against ordinary Nascent Soul opponent, however he was afraid that it wouldn’t be easy for him to win…His speed wouldn’t be able to keep up and the gap of magical force was just too great. The reason he could stay undefeated was because he could strike the enemy with immense physical force.

If it wasn’t because of the oddness in Tian Yizi, Ning Fan could’ve directly killed Yizi with a punch while carrying Suqiu in his arm, and seize the opportunity and command the four armies of Ning City to advance; then finally allowing the reinforcements of Sinister Sparrow Sect and Fire Cloud Sect to launch a surprise attack.

However the immense strength that could defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator didn’t severely harm Tian Yizi. Instead, the third corpse pupil of Tian Yizi and the black coffin gave Ning Fan a sense of danger.

These various peculiarities had given rise to a speculation in his heart, but he still needed to verify it. He was afraid that this would be the variable of the war.

Eyes falling on the grand formation, Ning Fan felt a slight hesitation in his heart. The grand formation of Ning City was categorized as Nascent Realm. It had a total of 972 formation eyes. Each formation eye was filled with a hundred immortal jades. By putting more immortal jades in the formation eye, it could increase the defensive strength of the formation, however it wasn’t really necessary…because Ning Fan had never decided to rely on a Nascent Realm Grand Formation to fight Extreme Yin Gate and Heavenly Dao Sect. This Shock Repulsion Formation would be the first blow to the Extreme Yin Gate. The original plan was that after activating the Shock Repulsion Formation, all the guards would be sent out to fight till their death…but now, all the plans needed alteration.

“Young Master, do you think it’s time to fight back…? If the grand formation is broken…” Nanyang Zi revealed concern in his aged eyes.

“Wait! It’s not the time yet. I still have some things that needed confirmation…” Ning Fan’s eyes turned solemn.

The third round, the fourth round…until it reached the ninth round of attacks – Ning Fan was still motionless. The immortal jades in the formation eyes were already nearly depleted. Outside the city wall, the formation light had turned illusory and was filled with cracks, seemingly about to shatter at any second.

At this moment, Ning Fan gave the order.

“Nangong, get ready to activate the formation!”

…

There were nine rounds of attacks. The magical force of each disciple of Extreme Yin Gate was almost exhausted after launching the Yin Pearl’s attacks. It was absolutely not easy for the Vein Opening cultivators. And the Yin Pearl would also run out of power soon.

There were even a few unlucky stars that were engulfed by the Yin Pearl due to insufficient magical force. This had made all the other disciples more vigilant, lest they might end up like those unlucky ghosts.

The disciples’ exhaustion of magical force didn’t seem to concern Old Monster Ji Mo. His only task was to break open the grand formation of Ning City. After that…he would only need all experts above Harmonious Spirit realm to advance, which would be more than enough to eradicate all the experts of the city!

If it were only ordinary Gold Core experts, perhaps he would fear the siege attack of Vein Opening warriors, but every Gold Core Old Monster were individuals who had experienced numerous massacre. There were also two old-ancestor-grade experts, namely Purple Yin and Tian Yi. Vein Opening cultivators wouldn’t be able to do any harm to the old ancestors unless they used the combination formation.

“The final round of attack! All of you, exert your blood essence, amplify the power of Yin Pearl to the maximum and destroy this formation!”

Ji Mo gave an inviolable order. Each disciple of Extreme Yin Gate bit the tip of their tongues to spit out blood essence on the Yin Pearl. Immediately, each Yin Pearl was steaming with killing-intent then spun rapidly, vaguely radiating an eerie bloody light. The Yin Pearls became even more powerful than before.

Ji Mo’s eyes fell upon the grand formation with a chuckle! This was the final strike. After this strike, the grand formation of Ning City would be destroyed!

After that, he would use the residual power of the Yin Pearls to cause some casualties in Ning City, which he thought would be the best situation.

“Attack!”

One by one, the cold blood light hit the formation light. Its power wasn’t any weaker than the spiritual arrows.

The nearly-broken Defensive Formation Light was finally shattered and let out a crisp sound. The momentum of the bloody light didn’t reduce. Along with the void-splitting sound and foul qi, it covered up Ning City like a massive piece of scarlet cloth.

Some of the devil cultivators of the four armies of Ning City began feeling dizzy because of the foul qi. The Nan Lou Battle Guards, who had joined Ning City’s forces only recently, hadn’t encountered such a dangerous situation before. Each of them looked horrified. If they were touched by the bloody light, there was no guarantee that they could survive!

“I…we better flee now…” A few newly joined devil cultivators spoke in a quavering tone, but immediately, the cold as blade voice of Situ was heard.

“Whoever flee will die!”

Situ’s sword qi fluctuated. All devil cultivators felt a shiver in their hearts, instantly losing their urge to flee. Now, they could only hope that the higher-ups of Ning City had a way to deal with the bloody light.

The agitation in Ning City delighted Ji Mo. The grand formation of Ning City had been broken. Ning City was going to be annihilated. Currently, the forces in the city seemed unstable, which was absolutely a good news to them.

Old Devil Purple Yin’s eyes were filled with delight as he looked over at Old Monster Ji Mo with praising eyes. Clearly, he was extremely satisfied with the result.

A hundred miles way, roughly ten devil old monsters of Yue Country shook their heads as they sensed the current situation with their spirit sense. As for the master of Purple Light Sect, he let out a deep sigh.

“The grand formation has already been broken. Ning City is finished…Old Devil Purple Yin is definitely strong. And that sect master of Heavenly Dao Sect possesses terrifying means – not even Suqiu Xianzi of Great Void Sect was a match for him. Apart from the two of them, there are also a dozen Gold Core Old Monsters involved in this battle…Ning City is just a pill-production site. How can they possibly resist the joint attack of these experts? Furthermore, the Black Devil Ning hasn’t shown up until now. Could it be he’s afraid of the enemy’s forces…Ning City will be annihilated…”

“Black Devil Ning is at least a Fourth Revolution Pill Master. If he had been a famous figure for a long time, he won’t be afraid of the two Gold Core old ancestors…even if he’s no match for the two, given the network he has, there are probably Nascent Soul experts from other countries who will be willing to aid him…Black Devil Ning hasn’t even appeared since the start of the war, however. This made me remember a rumor…this old man heard numerous people say that Black Devil Ning is the Revered Ning of Sinister Sparrow Sect – Ning Fan! Back then, no one believed in such a rumor. Now, this old man thinks that it’s possible. Revered Ning is also Black Devil Ning…if that’s really the case, it surely makes sense…but how is it possible for a cultivator less than twenty years old to be a Fourth Revolution Pill Master…?”

Elder Tong Bian from Corpse Seizing Sect was in deep thought. This man had an uncommon mind that was good at making inference. His words made a lot of people think.

Since the start of the war, Black Devil Ning hadn’t shown himself. Could it be that Black Devil Ning was truly an 18 years old youth? Did that mean that the whole Yue Country had been deceived by Ning Fan?

It was incredulous…even Elder Bian Tong only had ten percent certainty which was based on countless news. The other 90% was due to Ning Fan being way too young!

“Perhaps…Ning City has a way to deal with the blood light…if you are Black Devil Ning…” Bian Tong’s eyes stared fixedly and suspiciously at Ning Fan.

The murderous blood light fell into the sky above Ning City, its power getting stronger and stronger.

Lu Nanzi displayed a look of pain. Numerous Fire Maple Trees near Ning City had begun to wither because of the foul blood qi.

“Young Master…” He looked at Ning Fan pleadingly.

“Almost there…” Ning Fan’s spirit sense never stopped observing Tian Yizi.

He discovered that Tian Yizi’s expression was still as composed as before, it was as though he wasn’t concerned about the annihilation of Ning City and the death of Extreme Yin Gate would only be advantageous to him…

“Sure enough! Nangong, activate the formation now…” Ning Fan revealed a regretful look. He had seen through the mystery of Tian Yizi. By killing the disciples of Extreme Yin Gate, he was afraid that it would let Tian Yizi obtain tremendous amount of benefits, but now that the bloody light was about to hit Ning City, Ning Fan had no choice but to counter attack. He couldn’t leave the arrow on the bow unfired.

“Yes!”

Murderous intent flashed past Nangong’s eyes. Just at this moment, the abrupt change caused the sect master of Purple Light Sect to choke back his sigh!

Nangong’s eyes turned cold. The formation command compass in his hand rotated at full speed.

“Activate!”

For a moment, the hundred mile formation lines that emanated qi of vicissitudes emerged on the ground, encircling Ning City.

Glazing formation light rose one after another and spread open. Innumerable whirlpool of starlight emerged in mid-air, carrying the roaring sound of an ancient giant and desolate killing intent. All the cultivators in Ning City were shocked!

No one had expected that there would be a third formation hidden in Ning City. And although this formation was only a Nascent Realm, it was very astounding!

No one could tell the origin of this grand formation, but the waves of roars of the giants seized away everyone’s composure!

The starlight whirlpool reversed the direction of the attacks of the Yin Pearls using some strange law of force. Each howling bloody light now shot backwards to where it came from. Its current power was 30% greater compared to before.

This abrupt reversal made each magically exhausted disciples of Extreme Yin Gate dumbstruck!

On the ship, Elder Ji Mo and other elders of Extreme Yin Gate widened their eyes incredulously!

“This…What’s all this about?! Why is there a third layer of formation light?!”

At this time, Old Devil Purple Yin felt a large tremor in his heart. He realized that the grand formation was extremely similar to the terrifying grand formation recorded in the sect’s ancient record.

“This is…could it be…the ‘Star Vortex Ancient Formation’?! The Immortal Void Realm Grand Formation?! Not good, Ji Mo, quickly activate the defensive grand formation of the ships!”

However, his words were after all, already too late. This counterattack came too quickly, too unexpectedly, and was almost instantaneous. Two of the three ships were dealt with a devastating blow, numerous disciples were killed and wounded.

Under the attack of the blood light, disciples with weak cultivation base were directly turned to mist of blood and perished!
