Grasping Evil

*Chi*

Yue Lingkong wielded her moon blade with a pleased face. As a bright ray of moonlight shone, the ancestral tree shook, giving out thick blood mist.

In the blood mist, the ancestral tree looked like it had snapped and fell down with a loud bang.

Yue Lingkong's unexpected arrival was a significant change that King Ju Lu had never expected.

In the eyes of the six other ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan, the ancestral tree was the thing King Ju Lu had promised to them as the best way to eliminate the slave marks of the entire Giant Devil Clan.

However, only King Ju Lu knew that it was his hope of achieving the Void Fragmentation Realm!

That was the devil tree the progenitor of the Giant Devil Clan left behind!

King Ju Lu had lied to the other seven ancestors. He planted the tree using blood, nourished it using the formation and attached his life to it. All he was waiting for was to finally sacrifice Feng Xueyan as a sacrificial offering to the ancestral tree. After that, her devil blood would condense into fruits that would help him break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm.

However, his hope had been reduced to nothing the moment the ancestral tree fell..

King Ju Lu's chest was filled with rage that made him want to kill Yue Lingkong to vent his anger. However, when he looked closely at the ancestral tree, he seemed to have discovered something and then made a cold, vicious smile.

"The ancestral tree has yet to fall!" King Ju Lu had discovered this fact.

Meanwhile, Yue Lingkong gently heaved a sigh of relief. She had actually broken through to the Void Inquiry Stage for quite some time already. However, she concealed her heavenly tribulation and hid in a dark corner, waiting for the crucial moment where she would act to help Feng Xueyan.

"Little Cucumber, I've cut down this damn tree!" She happily turned toward Ning Fan, desiring to be praised by him for her achievement. However, she saw his expression had become extremely gloomy. He spread out his Eight Black Burning Wings and flew toward her at his top speed. Then, he placed his arm around her waist and immediately withdrew.

It was like there were some evil and ferocious fiends within the portal in the sky. They must leave at once to avoid them or they would be in grave danger!

Yue Lingkong did not understand Ning Fan's actions. Before she could react, she saw the blood mist in the portal suddenly vanish, revealing the ancestral tree which she had just cut down. That tree was actually still standing there in perfect condition!

The tree that she had just cut down was in fact just an illusion that was created by the blood mist!

Yue Lingkong felt extremely embarrassed. How could she, a human, be deceived by a tree unexpectedly? This was just too humiliating!

While thinking of these foolish questions, Yue Lingkong suddenly felt extremely unwell. Her face turned pale and the feeling of exhaustion and weakness washed over her body.

It was at this moment that she realized that she had lost one-tenth of her blood essence for some reason. Doubtlessly, it was the blood mist that had absorbed it!

The ancestral tree displayed an illusion technique and pretended that it had been cut down to lower Yue Lingkong's guard. Then, it secretly drained her blood essence…

It was a devil tree that would suck people's blood!

If Ning Fan was even half a step late in saving Yue Lingkong, even if she would not die because of the ancestral tree, she would be grievously injured from losing a huge amount of her blood essence."Don't be so reckless next time. That tree is quite scary. Don't recklessly go near it!"

Ning Fan's tone might sound harsh but Yue Lingkong viewed it as him showing his concern for her. With that, her mood improved.

After taking a vulnerary pill, she began cursing without a care for her own image.

"Damn it! How dare that broken tree, something that even birds will not defecate on, suck my blood essence?! It really pisses me off… Speaking of which, it sure is tough. It's even tougher than Little Cucumber's cucumber. My moon blade did not even manage to split its skin…"

"That tree is really tough. And that tree… is very dangerous!" Ning Fan's brows were drawn even more tightly together. When he was heading toward the bottom of the ancestral tree earlier, he actually felt a sense of certain death from it!

Even if he enters the Profound Yin World, he would still not be able to avoid that kind of dangerous feeling!

Perhaps the ancestral tree was far more terrifying than what Ning Fan imagined it would be. Perhaps even the Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip that he had used earlier could not flatten this tree in a single try as well.

After Ning Fan destroyed the Boundless Evil Sea Formation, the cultivators had finally escaped from a calamity.

The eyes of the cultivators who survived the disaster were filled with respect and fear when they looked at Ning Fan. All of them also had a slightly complicated feeling of gratitude toward him.

If it wasn't for him who destroyed the grand formation, all the cultivators of the one hundred plus sects would be turned into pus and blood and die within the formation without knowing how they died.

Even though they had escaped as fast as they could, the low-level disciples of the sects still suffered huge casualties. At least three hundred thousand low-level disciples from the one hundred plus sects perished and became pus and blood…

Detestable! They originally came here to seize Feng Xueyan and the slate. It was really beyond their expectations for them to have walked right into the scheme of the eight ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan which nearly succeeded in turning them into blood sacrificial offerings for them.

However, if it weren't for their greed which blinded their rationality and drove them to cause trouble in the Giant Devil Clan, why would they lose so many disciples? Well, they really deserved such catastrophic losses which served as a punishment for their wrongdoings.

At this moment, everyone harbored resentment against the remaining seven ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan. They wanted to make them pay.

The Void Pierce Stage Elder of the Lan Ling Sect, Palace Master Zheng He of the Yang Heaven Palace from the Rain Palace, Marquis Shen Jian of the Ice Mountain Sword Sect, Fairy Miao Yi of the Wonderful Sound Valley, Zen Master Xuan Kong of the Hanging Temple, the sect master of the Six Flames Sect, the lord of the Nirvana Valley… These seven remaining Void Refinement Realm experts were going to ask for an explanation from the seven ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan.

"Humph! Aren't you King Ju Lu, a former clan leader of the Giant Devil Clan? Are you planning to turn the cultivators of our sects into sacrificial offerings for the tree? What a great plot you have! Unfortunately, we survived. I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed!" Marquis Shen Jian uttered in fury and wielded his sword to slash at King Ju Lu.

"Disappointed? Why do I need to be disappointed? I was worried at first when the ancestral tree was cut down. Now, however, I'm completely at ease after seeing that the ancestral tree remains intact. My grand plan will never be ruined. Thus, I will never feel disappointed! The flowers of the ancestral tree are going to bloom soon. All of you will die here and pave a path for me to the Void Fragmentation Realm! Eliminating my clan's slave marks? Truly laughable! How could the ancestral tree have the ability to let us break free from the slave mark?! Moreover, why would I need to put so much effort into this plan just for some members of the clan?"

"If one doesn't look out for themselves, heaven and earth will come to destroy them! I planted this tree to advance to the Void Fragmentation Realm. I never wanted to save anyone! Time is up! No one can stop my plan now!"

King Ju Lu laughed evilly and rushed toward Marquis Shen Jian's sword, allowing him to cut him into a mist of blood.

Marquis Shen Jian was stunned. He did not expect that he would kill King Ju Lu with a single sword attack. After all, King Ju Lu's cultivation base was a minor cultivation realm higher than his.

At the next moment, however, he shockingly realized that a column of blood mist condensed under the ancestral tree at the portal in the sky, forming into King Ju Lu!

King Ju Lu could actually revive upon death! This had greatly exceeded Marquis Shen Jian's expectations.

Apparently, as long as the ancestral tree was not destroyed, no matter how many times King Ju Lu was killed, he would be reborn again and again under the ancestral tree!

It was the devil tree of immortality which the progenitor of the Giant Devil Clan left behind!

King Ju Lu's evil laughter continued to echo across the air. The flowers of the ancestral tree had now blossomed and bore fruits. It was already at its final phase. No one would be able to stop him now from breaking through to the Void Fragmentation Realm!

He revealed everything about his original secret plan that he had been keeping at the depths of his heart. All the other six old ancestors including Ju Yan were completely stunned. All of them could not believe what they had just heard!

"Old Ancestor Ju Lu, what are you talking about?! You said that this ancestral tree doesn't have the ability to let us break free from the slave marks of our clan!? Is it true?! You said that the reason all of us, countless members of the clan and even Xueyan are sacrificing ourselves is to let you alone break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm... Is this true?!" The other old ancestors questioned.

"What I said is, of course, true! I was just using you. Now, you are already worthless to me. All of you won't be able to escape death! Well, due to the years of effort that you all have contributed to this cause, I'm going to let you die knowing the reason why! You all were merely my chess pieces. That's it!" King Ju Lu laughed wickedly.

Old Ancestor Ju Yan's eyes contained boundless wrath. The same look also appeared in the eyes of the other old ancestors.

They had always thought that what they had been doing was ultimately for the clan. They had always thought that their actions were great and honorable.

At this point, however, they came to realize that they had been used like chess pieces. Everything that they had done was just the stepping stones for someone else's progress in cultivation… Who would be able to accept this truth with a willing heart?!

Ju Yan, in particular, was Feng Xueyan's grandfather after all… He always thought that sacrificing Feng Xueyan was for the future of the clan. Today, however, he felt that hurting Xueyan was the greatest mistake he had ever made in his lifetime… And he could never atone the damage he had caused to her!

His eyes shifted to Feng Xueyan who was located below him. Her body was still being burned by her devil blood. She lost her consciousness because of the excruciating pain… All of a sudden, guilt and sorrow filled his heart. He closed his eyes in anguish.

As a grandfather, I actually wanted to send my own granddaughter to her death previously… And all of this is the result of me being used by someone…

Foolish! Ju Yan, you are hopelessly foolish!

"Ju Lu! I'm going to fight you to the death!"

Ju Yan was guilty, mad and furious. However, he could no longer vent out his feelings using words.

He turned into a howling travelling light and charged straight at the ancestral tree. Even though he vowed to kill King Ju Lu, it still could not make up for the guilt in his heart!

Seeing Ju Yan approach him, King Ju Lu made a cold, vicious smile.

Marquis Shen Jian and the other foreign Void Refinement Realm experts, on the other hand, were startled. They did not expect that the seven ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan would fight among themselves.

After being slightly surprised, all of them decided to watch from the sidelines.

Ning Fan did not dash to the ancestral qi. Neither did he plan on just standing by and watching. Suddenly, he sniffed an exceedingly dangerous qi from the ancestral tree.

His instincts gave him a strong warning as if he had discovered some changes from the ancestral tree and flew away quickly with Yue Lingkong in his arms!

Before Yue Lingkong could ask about what had happened, a great change happened to the world.

The first blood-red rose on the ancestral tree shuddered slightly!

The very instant the first blood rose trembled, the ancestral tree suddenly shot out a rattan as thick as the rim of a bowl which pierced through Ju Yan's armor at an incredible speed, puncturing his dantian!

A random attack from the blood tree was unexpectedly very close to the Void Fragmentation Realm!

Ju Yan let out a muffled groan. His dantian was destroyed. With all of his might, he wielded his sword to cut the rattan but he could not cause any damage to it at all.

With a violent pull, he was brought in front of the tree.

At this moment, a large hideous mouth appeared at the tree's trunk. It was full of razor-sharp teeth. The mouth opened and took Ju Yan into the tree, literally chewing him to pieces.

Ju Yan, a dignified Void Pierce Stage expert, was actually directly devoured by the ancestral tree!

His flesh and blood had all become nourishment for the tree!

After the tree devoured Ju Yan, the first blood rose fully bloomed. The beautiful and tender flower petals had the color of blood!

"The first one!" King Ju Lu licked his lips and made a vile smile.

Marquis Shen Jian and the other Void Refinement Realm experts were so shocked that their faces turned pale.

What exactly is that ancestral tree? It could actually kill a Void Pierce Stage expert instantly with just one of its rattan!

Yue Lingkong began to feel fearful now. If it wasn't for Ning Fan who saved her in time, she would have ended up like Ju Yan.

*Chi* *Chi* *Chi*

After the first blood rose bloomed, it suddenly released a whiff of evil fragrance.

In the areas where that fragrance wafted to, countless cultivators melted into blood and pus and died. This evil fragrance was much more frightening than the previous Boundless Evil Sea Formation.

The ancestral tree then sent out one million rattans which went after the foreign Void Refinement Realm experts and the five remaining old ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan.

Judging from King Ju Lu's actions, he was obviously trying to use the power of the ancestral tree to wipe out all the Void Refinement Realm experts first.

The low grade cultivators of the one hundred plus sects immediately died in droves. Countless magic treasures were sent to attack the rattans but none of them could do any damage to them at all. The one hundred plus sects suffered huge casualties in just a matter of seconds.

The five remaining old ancestors were extremely surprised. They instantly turned around to flee. However, the five of them were only at the Void Inquiry Stage. Since their cultivation bases were even lower than Ju Yan, how could they resist the ancestral tree?

They were filled with remorse. They regretted trusting King Ju Lu too easily. They regretted causing harm to the members of their own clan. However, it was already too late for them to regret it…

*Chi* *Chi* *Chi*

In a blink of an eye, five rattans caught up with the five old ancestors as if they teleported. They pierced through their dantians effortlessly and bound their limbs tightly. When the rattans retracted, all five of them were devoured by the large mouth on the tree and perished!

Five blood roses on the tree blossomed successively!

"There are six of them now!" King Ju Lu excitedly announced.

*Chi* *Chi* *Chi*

Several rattans flew at the Void Pierce Stage expert of the Lan Ling Sect. They nearly scared this elder to death. Upon seeing them come, he felt his scalp turn numb.

Without hesitation, he dragged the sect master of the Six Flames Sect and the Yang Heaven Palace and pushed them toward the rattans, making them his shields.

After letting out cries of pain, the two of them were pierced to death by the rattans and their corpses were dragged back to the ancestral tree.

The elder of the Lan Ling Sect was fleeing with all his might after using the two as his shields. He managed to dodge a rattan but it sent out a thorn from its sides which then penetrated right through him.

The lives of three Void Refinement Realm experts added three blood roses on the tree.

"There are nine of them now!"

*Chi* *Chi* *Chi* *Chi*

Four rattans rush at Marquis Shen Jian, Fairy Miao Yi, Zen Master Xuan Kong and the lord of the Nirvana Valley respectively.

The four of them no longer dared to run away as they knew that they would die even faster if they tried to run. The only option they had left was going all out in resisting the rattans!

"Void Sword Technique – Leading Heavenly Light!"

"Sound Transforming Technique!"

"Devil Subduing Imprint!"

"Nirvana Fist!"

The four of them delivered their strongest attacks. However, none of them was stronger than Yue Lingkong's moon blade. How could they damage the rattans?

The rattans remained unscathed after taking their attacks and penetrated through their dantians.

The screams of four individuals reverberated across the air. They lost their lives and their bodies turned into nourishment for the tree!

Meanwhile, three instead of four more blood roses bloomed on the ancestral tree. Apparently, the ancestral tree could only have a maximum of twelve blood roses.

All of this happened in an instant. It had just been a few breaths and every Void Refinement Realm cultivator had actually died tragic deaths!

If Ning Fan did not quickly retreat from the place, he and Yue Lingkong would also be having a hard time resisting the rattans.

Now, the foreign Void Refinement Realm experts and the remaining ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan were all dead. King Ju Lu's eyes finally drifted to Ning Fan. With a cold smile, he said.

"Twelve flowers. It seems like this is the maximum number of blood roses that can bloom on the tree. Well, since the quantity is already sufficient, there is only one final step left – using Feng Xueyan's blood to water the ancestral tree. Then the twelve blood roses will bear ancestral devil fruits! As long as I eat these twelve ancestral devil fruits, I will certainly be able to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm!"

"Zhou Ming, ah Zhou Ming… Do you know that this ancestral tree is a devil tree that the progenitor of my Giant Devil Clan left behind? Once its flowers bloom, even a Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip will hardly harm it. Nothing can destroy this tree unless you are a true Void Fragmentation Realm expert! You are not a Void Fragmentation Realm expert! You will never be able to destroy this tree and will also be unable to protect Feng Xueyan in the end!"

"Unless a miracle happens and you instantly turn into a Void Fragmentation Realm expert… But you should know this – there is no miracle in this world!"

King Ju Lu's smile became even colder and gruesome. He formed a hand seal aggressively and the rattans of the ancestral tree began to move again.

*Chi* *Chi* *Chi*

At this moment, countless rattans were directed at Feng Xueyan and they rushed at her at high speed!

Once King Ju Lu killed Feng Xueyan, he was still going to slaughter every last one of the cultivators there!

Each of the cultivators of the one hundred plus sects as well as the cultivators of the forces of the venerated beings were in despair.

Just like what King Ju Lu had said, the ancestral tree was too terrifying. No cultivator could suppress it except for a true Void Fragmentation Realm expert. However, where would they find a Void Fragmentation Realm expert at this place? Who would be able to save them?

There was no miracle in this world in the first place.

Ning Fan knew how terrifying the ancestral tree was. If the rattans assault them, even if Su Yan and the others were protecting Feng Xueyan, she would still be unable to escape death…

He did not care how many casualties the other sects had suffered. All he cared about was for Feng Xueyan to not die in this conspiracy!

All of a sudden, he let go of Yue Lingkong and flew toward the sky on his own, facing the massive number of rattans which blotted out the sky and covered the sun.

The current him was just like the butterfly that recklessly dashed toward Love Wielding Immortal Emperor.

"I'll show you a miracle!"

His consciousness dived into the Yin Yang Locket and connected with Luo You's mind.

Luo You then gradually passed all her magic power into Ning Fan's body using the Yin Yang Locket as the medium without even needing him to ask her.

Ning Fan gently closed his eyes and his aura force was greatly boosted in an instant!

Mid Reckless Devil Realm, Late Reckless Devil Realm, Peak Reckless Devil Realm… Revered Devil Realm!

He suddenly turned into a Revered Devil Giant which was ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall. Two horns grew on his head, eight wings stretched out from his back and a ghost eye appeared on his glabella. He stood in midair in an impressive manner and his aura force was powerful enough to crush the world.

This was a Revered Devil, a being who could wipe out all the Void Fragmentation Realm experts that were at the same level as him!

The giant suddenly waved his hands and his ancestral talisman power was spread out. Each of the rattans that was strong enough to stab a Void Refinement Realm cultivator to death was destroyed one after another!

Every cultivator was petrified. Each of the low-level cultivators prostrated themselves on the ground when the Revered Devil Giant's aura force rushed past them, making them unable to even stand on their feet!

The moment the Revered Devil Giant appeared, the entire world trembled like it was afraid of the return of an ancestral devil!

The ancestral devil's aura force nearly suffocated King Ju Lu!

He could not believe what was happening right before his eyes - Ning Fan had truly become a Void Fragmentation Realm expert in an instant!

He could not believe that the young man who merely had Void Inquiry Stage aura force would be able to give out Void Fragmentation Realm aura force at this moment!

He tried to withstand Ning Fan's aura force. In the next moment, however, blood flowed out from his nose and mouth. The damage he took was so serious that he nearly died!

This was an exceedingly terrifying level of devil blood. Its level was not something King Ju Lu could imagine at all.

"Impossible! I don't believe it! This is fake!" King Ju Lu roared angrily.

"Revered… Devil…" The giant suddenly grimaced in pain. It was as if he was still unable to manipulate this power that did not belong to him, making him suffer a serious backlash.

Even so, the resolve in his eyes became even more intense.

No matter what method he had to use, he needed to hold on to his stubborn conviction. If his conviction were to be destroyed, he would make the world perish along with it!

"Star…Punishing…Bow…"

The giant's essence qi was earth-shattering. With a wave of his hands, he summoned a huge dark golden bow.

The power of the mountains and rivers were drawn into the bow while the power of stars condensed into an arrow.

When the giant aimed the arrow at King Ju Lu and the ancestral tree, even the tree itself began to shiver in fear.

"Zhou Ming! Stop! Don't do it!" King Ju Lu was shouting madly. Unfortunately, he could never understand why Ning Fan was able to obtain Void Fragmentation Realm power all of a sudden.

"Die…"

The giant's tone was cold. As he drew the bow, mountains and rivers began to collapse and dry up. The gentle wind and snow turned into a raging blizzard.

He drew the bow and the arrow was fired! A violent tremor affected the entire Endless Sea!

When King Ju Lu looked at that ray of arrow light, his face was filled with despair as he knew there was nothing he could do to survive.

His entire plan was going to be ruined because of this bow.

"I've cultivated the path of the devil since I was seven. I attained the Vein Opening Realm at the age of eleven and the Harmonious Spirit Realm at the age of nineteen. Then, I spent one hundred years to form my gold core and one thousand years to achieve Divine Transformation. It took me another one thousand years to break through to the Void Refinement Realm… The Void Fragmentation Realm, however, is as difficult as ascending Heaven…"

"I've done whatever it takes just to attain the Void Fragmentation Realm. In the end, all of my efforts were useless. Perhaps the cultivation of Dao is a fruitless struggle in the first place. No matter how powerful your cultivation base is, you'll still perish one day… However, I've spared no effort to formulate this plan. All I need to do next is to wait for the ancestral tree to bear the fruits and I can then attain the Void Fragmentation Realm… This is unfair! I can't accept this!"

*Bang*

When the arrow struck, the sound it produced was like the heavens had collapsed.

King Ju Lu and his wild ambition vanished like smoke in thin air. As for that indestructible ancestral tree, it also withered upon receiving the attack.

Ning Fan could no longer endure Luo You's magic power and immediately returned to his human form. He stared at the wilted tree in silence.

When the ancestral tree died, the burning of Feng Xueyan's devil blood stopped.

Is it…finally…over…?

Only around twenty percent of the cultivators of the one hundred plus sects managed to survive. The way each of them looked at Ning Fan was filled with unimaginable shock.

"Zhou Ming has truly destroyed the ancestral tree!"

…

In the eight hundred cultivation countries, countless sects were in turmoil because countless life plates of their disciples broke all of a sudden.

The most terrifying thing was that out of the ten Void Refinement Realm sects who took part in fishing in the turbid waters of the Giant Devil Clan, nine of them had lost their Void Refinement Realm experts.

Other than the Martial Sect who did not suffer any casualties, the other sects such as the Hanging Temple, the Wonderful Sound Valley and the Six Flames Sects were completely shocked!

Even the Rain Sovereign was also deeply shocked by this incident!

The eight hundred cultivation countries had lost nine Void Refinement Realm experts in a single day. Moreover, it had not even taken King Lan Ling's second primordial spirit into consideration.

The number of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators that had died was innumerable!

"What exactly had happened in the Endless Sea?! Those sects, why did all of you head to that land of trouble and danger for no reason?!"

In the Rain Palace located in the Middle State, the Rain Sovereign was sitting on a tall jade throne while shouting angrily at the representatives of the one hundred plus sects.

This is just great… The Rain World's strength is greatly diminished now!

"Investigate this matter and find out the cause of this!" This time, the Rain Sovereign was truly enraged.

…

After borrowing Luo You's power, the backlash Ning Fan suffered was extremely serious which made his face pale. He thought to himself, I'm afraid I won't be able to use my magic power rashly in the next few months.

Ning Fan who was standing below the ancestral tree suddenly turned around and put up his guard. Unknowingly, a lady who was clad in red robes had appeared behind him.

"It's you. What are you doing here?" Ning Fan was surprised. She was none other than Hong Yi whom he had met once in the Lightning Bamboo Island. According to his guess, this lady's true identity was very likely the Thunder Sovereign.

"I have a way to revive the ancestral tree. It has already produced twelve blossoming blood roses. As long as you water the tree using Feng Xueyan's blood, you will obtain the ancestral tree's fruits… So, do you want to kill Feng Xueyan and try advancing to the Void Fragmentation Realm?" Hong Yi teased him.

"Are you asking me to kill my sister-in-law to attain Dao?" Ning Fan shook his head and gave her a bitter smile.

If it were someone unrelated to him, he certainly would be merciless enough to use their blood to water the ancestral tree and break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm in one go.

However, that person was Feng Xueyan so he would never agree to it.

"I'll use my own methods to achieve the Void Fragmentation Realm. I won't kill her."

"You've made a wise choice. In fact, even if you kill Feng Xueyan, this tree will never bear fruits. All it could do was to bloom… Thus, King Ju Lu's ambition of attaining the Void Fragmentation Realm would have never come true. Many people had spent their entire lives waiting and hoping and little did they know that their flowers would never produce any fruits…"

"This tree will not produce any fruits?" Ning Fan was slightly shocked to hear that. He touched the twelve blood roses of the ancestral tree with his palm.The lives of Void Refinement Realm experts were sacrificed to make these blood roses bloom. Therefore, they had yet to wither.

When Ning Fan studied them carefully, he found out that these blood roses were all male flowers…

How could male flowers produce fruits? Only female flowers were able to produce fruits, weren't they?

Fortunately, King Ju Lu did not inspect these blood roses when he was still alive. Otherwise, he would probably be so pissed that he would die from anger.

The Void Fragmentation Realm that he had been pursuing was actually only his wishful thinking.

Perhaps what he said before his death was true. The cultivation of Dao itself was a fruitless struggle in the first place…

"The reason why you came to find me isn't just to tell me about this, right? So what exactly brought you here?"

"Have you forgotten about the deal you have made with this sovereign?!" Hong Yi's blood eyes flashed with a cold light. If Ning Fan had really forgotten about the thing he had promised her, she would probably kill him directly.

Ning Fan felt rather helpless. How could he dare to forget the promise he made to the great Thunder Sovereign?

This lady's mood changes pretty quickly…

Then, a feeling of weakness suddenly washed over Ning Fan, nearly causing him to black out.

Judging from the situation, he might really need to get some rest on a bed for quite some time…
