Chapter 446: Chapter 446: The Eight Black Burning Wings, Void Inquiry Stage Speed
Translator: GE_Team
After a long time, the aura force of Ning Fan’s wings gradually receded.
Devil wings at the level of Void Wings had been awakened. After combining his devil wings and demon wings into one, it formed into eight wings which were at the level of heavenly demon wings or heavenly devil wings. They greatly boosted Ning Fan’s speed.
Ning Fan kept quiet for a short while but suddenly held Fen Chi in his arms. He flapped the eight black burning wings, then the two of them vanished from the Six-Winged Clan all of a sudden. In the next moment, they appeared at the sea domain two hundred thousand li* (500m per li) away.
In a single move, thy had travelled across two hundred thousand li* (500m per li). This kind of speed was already comparable to a Void Inquiry Stage old monster!
“It’s quick! Young Master, you are quick! You are really quick!” Fen Chi was shocked and overjoyed at the same time. Her feelings made her talk incoherently.
She felt joyful because she witnessed the devil wings she awakened could actually travel at such a terrifying speed.
“...” Ning Fan was rather speechless. It was obvious that the sentence ‘Young Master, you are so quick’ was not a compliment to men.
He remained silent for a while and checked his eight black burning wings that were a combination of his demon and devil wings. He was extremely satisfied with them.
“Thank you.”
“What?”
Fen Chi, who was resting in Ning Fan’s arms, found it difficult to believe her own ears. She only helped him awaken his devil wings and that was it. However, Ning Fan actually thanked her for it.
“From today onwards, you will be my devil concubine. I am really satisfied with your ability to awaken one’s devil wings.”
“Devil concubine...” Fen Chi lowered her head. Her eyes looked worried, as if reluctant and willing to accept her new identity at the same time. No one knew what exactly she was thinking.
The eight black wings burned with eight black flames. They looked strange but magnificent.
Ning Fan flapped his eight black wings and turned into a ray of black fiery light. In the next second, he got back to the Six-Winged Clan.
When he showed these wings to Yue Lingkong, she was naturally extremely surprised. This was her first time seeing a cultivator with wings at the level of a Heavenly Demon or Heavenly Devil.
Three days later, Ning Fan discussed the terms and conditions regarding the Six-Winged Clan with Xuan Yi after they became his subordinates. Both of them came to an agreement to retain the strength of the Six-Winged Clan to take care of itself while Ning Fan would only be the head of the clan in title. However, he could use the spiritual medicine and immortal jade of the clan whenever he wishes.
When the matter of the Six-Winged Clan was done, Ning Fan no longer had the intention to stay around. He brought both Yue Lingkong and Fen Chi with him and flew towards the Giant Devil Clan.
Fen Chi was a Devil Concubine. Now, since she already belonged to Ning Fan, she naturally was no longer a part of the Six-Winged Clan.
They were not in a hurry to arrive at their destination. Thus, there was no point in using up a great deal of immortal jade just to open up moon portals. Ning Fan travelled using only his Eight Black Burning Wings. Now, he had adapted to his enhanced speed.
Before leaving the Six-Winged Clan, Xuan Yi had secretly passed a jade slip to Ning Fan. What it actually contained was the individuals who seemed to be the Devil Concubines of the three other devil clans.
To the four great devil clans, if a Devil Concubine is born in any of the clans, she would be the hope of the clan to flourish and prosper.
Xuan Yi sent out countless spies to scout for some information about the three other clans in the past.
The information they gathered showed that no Devil Concubine had been born in this generation of Giant Devil Clan. As for the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan, female cultivators who seemed to be Devil Concubines had been born there. There were a few likely candidates. If Ning Fan wants to, he could find out for himself.
The contents of the jade slip made Ning Fan contemplate deeply.
Xuan Yi had given Fen Chi to him. Could it be that he is still looking forward to him seizing the Devil Concubines of the two other clans?
Since Fen Chi, the Devil Concubine of the Six-Winged Clan, could help the members of her clan awaken their devil wings, Ning Fan guessed that the Devil Concubines of the two other clans probably also had mysterious powers that were related to the bloodlines of their respective clans that could aid Ning Fan improve his strength.
The only thing he felt strange about was the Giant Devil Clan.
The Giant Devil Clan did not have a Devil Concubine. When the mysterious phenomenon appeared above the skies of the three clans, the same phenomenon had happened to the Giant Devil Clan but it quickly disappeared shortly after.
“The devil statue slate didn’t appear in the Giant Devil Clan, right? The Giant Devil Clan also doesn’t have a Devil Concubine, huh...? Is it because it had pledged allegiance to the thunder emperor or is it different from the three other clans? Could it be that this particular clan has some secrets?”
Ning Fan had a feeling that this so-called Giant Devil Clan was not as simple as he had originally thought.
“According to the rumors of the Endless Sea, ever since the Void Refinement Realm predecessor of the Giant Devil Clan died in battle, the whole clan has been in decline and it became the weakest among the Four Clans of the Hidden Ocean. However, is this really true?”
Ning Fan travelled swiftly all the way. He activated his speed to its maximum and covered two billion li* (500m per li) after constantly travelling for about a month.
His Eight Black Burning Wings had inherited the advantage of the Fu Li Demon Wings which was the ‘spirit’. It allowed him to continue flying without using the slightest trace of magic power.
Yue Lingkong was shocked by Ning Fan’s speed whereas Fen Chi was amazed by his endurance.
“Young Master Zhou, you are too unbelievable! You’ve been flying non-stop for a whole month and it actually didn’t use up any of your magic power. You really can last a long time which truly amazes me!”
She was a woman with extreme interest in devil wings to the point where she could be considered to be obsessed with them. The magic behind Ning Fan’s devil wings was enough for her to study for the rest of her life.
“You also know that Little Cucumber can last a long time?” What Yue Lingkong was referring to was obviously not the same topic as Fen Chi’s. After all, Fen Chi was still a virgin.
Ning Fan was not interested in joining in this kind of unproductive topic of conversation.
In the middle of the ocean which was black as ink, Ning Fan was like a bat which got out of hell as he dashed through the waves with the two women in his arms.
After a month, he could already control his Eight Black Burning Wings as he wished and had already fully adapted to the speed.
They got closer and closer to the Giant Devil Clan and had already arrived at the Devil Ice Sea Domain. The weather there was snowy and windy and falling snowflakes could be viewed at the sea horizon.
Occasionally, icebergs would come floating towards them. Naturally, the sea domain also hid many ferocious beasts. There wasn’t a lack of Wild Beasts as well. However, none of the ferocious beasts dared to stand in Ning Fan’s path.
The wind and snow in the air seemed to have a huge limiting effect on one’s spirit sense, causing cultivators to easily lose their way as they fly in this vast and boundless snowy ocean.
Sometimes, cultivators would come and go along the way. However, due to the snow which heavily clouded the air, all of them could not clearly recognize Ning Fan and the others.
However, as soon as they saw the terrifying speed of Ning Fan’s Eight Black Burning Wings, all of the Gold Core and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were absolutely shocked. None of them dared to provoke Ning Fan.
Even some of the Divine Transformation Realm old monsters who had always kept themselves hidden from the world were surprised by Ning Fan’s speed. They only thought that Ning Fan must be a Void Refinement Realm senior.
“This person... This person must be one of the famous Void Refinement Realm seniors in the Rain World! Unfortunately, due to the heavy snow, there’s no way to see his elegant demeanor. What a pity...” Many experts let out dejected sighs because they could only brush past Ning Fan’s shoulders without seeing who he really was.
Yue Lingkong was once a formidable being who travelled across the Endless Sea without any hindrance. Hence, she was rather familiar with the sea routes. With her guidance, Ning Fan would obviously not get lost.
In the Devil Ice Sea Domain, there were a few areas where the sea beasts would gather. To ordinary cultivators, these places were extremely dangerous and required them to take a detour.
However, with the strength of Ning Fan’s group, they, of course, did not need to avoid those ferocious beasts and could go straight to their destination.
In the middle of the snowy and windy sky, sounds of battle could be heard from afar. Ning Fan came to a halt and spread his spirit sense. This sea domain was actually the habitat of some kind of whale dragon.
The sounds of battle which resounded across the heavy snow was accompanied with the miserable cries of cultivators and roars of whale dragons. Without a doubt, there were cultivators who were being attacked by a group of whale dragons.
Among this group of whale dragons, the ones with stronger cultivation were just two Wild Beasts. As for the group of cultivators who were being surrounded by the whale dragons, the strongest cultivator was just at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm.
Apparently, they had been attacked by the whale dragons while they were passing by this area.
This kind of fight could be seen everywhere in the cultivation world. With Ning Fan’s cold personality, he was never that kind and diligent to intervene in this.
However, he actually stopped by this time and was planning on lending them a hand. It was because the attire of the group of cultivators had the emblem of the Giant Devil Clan.
“Little Cucumber, they are members of the Giant Devil Clan. Should we help?” Yue Lingkong turned towards Ning Fan and asked.
“With my relationship with the Giant Devil Clan, I can give them a hand if it’s something simple. Both of you stay here for a bit. I will be back in a moment.”
*Shua*
In a ray of travelling light, Ning Fan vanished without leaving a trace.
On the black ocean far from them, the surface of the ocean was densely filled with broken ice. Above the fragments of ice, there were around one hundred cultivators fighting against a group of whale dragons. The group of cultivators consisted of around 70 Gold Core Realm cultivators and 30 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. The leader of the group was a burly man at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm.
Even though the cultivation base of that burly man was at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm, there was a jade green shield floating around his body. Undoubtedly, he was a cultivator at the First Level of the Jade Life Body Refinement Realm. He was capable of battling against a Wild Beast with just his physical body!
He was carrying a tuft of human-size ginseng on his shoulder while using one of his fists to fight the group of whale dragons. His whole body was stained with blood.
There were only fifty whale dragons in the group.
Other than the two Wild Beasts which were at the Early Divine Transformation Realm, the remaining whale dragons were Nascent Soul Realm beasts.
Each of the Nascent Soul Realm whale dragons was a few thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) long. They were much larger than other demon beasts at the same level as them.
As for the whale dragons which were at the level of Wild Beasts, they were tens of thousands of zhang* (3.33m per zhang) long. Their snow-white bodies were like icebergs floating around the ocean.
Even though the Peak Nascent Soul Realm burly man was at the Jade Life Body Refinement Realm, the skin of the whale dragons was too thick. The strength of the body of a mere Peak Nascent Soul Realm whale dragon was durable enough to defend against a Divine Transformation Realm attack.
As for the whale dragons which were at the level of Wild Beasts, their physical defense was even more terrifying. Although the Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator had displayed several Low Grade Divine Transformation Realm body techniques, none of his attacks could actually pierce through their thick skin.
“Damn it! This tuft of thirty-thousand-year-old ice ginseng is for the eldest mistress to cure her illness. You bunch of audacious creatures, how dare you try to seize the eldest mistress’ medicine! I’ll fight you all to death!”
*Bang* Bang* Bang*
The burly man ignited his nascent soul. His eyes were filled with ferocity and desperation. Every punch he threw was covered with a jade green color with destructive power comparable to that of a full-powered attack of an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.
However, even such powerful attacks still could not leave a wound on the bodies of the two Wild Beasts.
Seeing the cultivators of his group die one after another under the jaws of the whale dragons, the eyes of the burly man turn bloodshot. To him, they were like brothers with whom he had gone through fire and water during their journey in searching for the medicine. All of them had risked their lives to search for the medicine to cure their eldest mistress’ illness. However, before they could return to their clan and gain merits, they were targeted by this group of whale dragons.
This is infuriating!
“My brothers, we shall face this group of whale dragons and kill our way out! Whoever survives in the end will be the one responsible for bringing this thirty-thousand-year-old ice ginseng back to the clan!”
“Kill!”
Each of the cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan ignited their nascent soul and sacrificed their gold cores one after another. Clearly, they were planning to fight the whale dragons with everything they got.
Many cultivators went into their giant forms which made them one thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall. However, even with their gigantic bodies, they were still as insignificant as ants when faced with the whale dragons.
“Ahhhh!”
Miserable cries filled the area as the cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan were being constantly devoured alive by the whale dragons.
The Peak Nascent Soul Realm burly man was struck by the two Divine Transformation Realm whale dragons. It was similar to being hit by an iceberg which was tens of thousands of zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall. Upon collision, the burly man coughed up blood incessantly. He was grievously injured as his eyes began to be filled with hopelessness.
“Damn it! It seems like my life is going to end here today- Who is it?!”
When the Peak Nascent Soul Realm burly man was about to lose hope, a figure who was dressed in a set of robes that was as white as snow suddenly appeared. There was no sign prior to his arrival and no one also knew how he came here!
That young man’s speed was far beyond the understanding of these Nascent Soul Ream and Gold Core Realm cultivators.
That young man’s eyes did not have any emotions. The way he looked at the whale dragons and the cultivators from the Giant Devil Clan was similar to looking at some scenery.
Only the Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who was more knowledgeable noticed the moving smoke from the young man. Immediately, his eyes lit up with joy.
“A Divine Transformation Realm cultivator! This friend must be a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, right? I am Zhao Shuai. I want to sincerely ask you to help me with one thing. Please bring this thirty-thousand-year-old ice ginseng back to the Giant Devil Clan. I assure you that if you bring this ice ginseng back, not only will the Giant Devil Clan give you a reward which is ten times greater than the value of this ice ginseng but also treat you as an important guest of the clan!”
The man called Zhao Shuai was looking for whatever help he could get, just like someone gravely ill who was seeking for any doctor they could find.
He was aware that he could not escape from this group of whale dragons. As for this white-robed young man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, it was impossible for him to save a group of strangers. Besides, he might side with the whale dragons to kill them and steal their treasures.
Zhao Shuai could only hope that this young man would be willing to help them bring the ice ginseng back to the Giant Devil Clan. The ice ginseng was extremely important to the clan. By bringing back this medicine, the reward would be comparable to at least ten times the value of the ice ginseng. Moreover, he could gain the favor of the Giant Devil Clan.
By saying that, he believed that this unknown young man in white robes would not refuse such a good deal.
Due to the snowflakes, Zhao Shuai could not clearly see the appearance of the young man. Otherwise, he would certainly recognize him. It was because he was Ning Fan, the man who had established a fearsome reputation in the Endless Sea.
Ning Fan glanced at Zhao Shuai without saying anything.
At the next moment, he swept across the area with his sword sense. A drop of concentrated ink spread out above the glacier.
In just a single moment, fifty whale dragons were shredded to pieces by the sword sense regardless of their cultivation. Blood dyed the white glacier red!
Ning Fan released a rush of vigorous baleful qi. Under his baleful qi, each and every one of the cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan felt that their gold cores and nascent souls were about to collapse. They could not withstand the aura force of a single glance from Ning Fan at all!
All of the cultivators who survived by chance were stunned, particularly Zhao Shuai.
As he stared at the incomplete corpses of the Divine Transformation Realm creatures that he was dealing with earlier, he felt his heart nearly leaping out of his chest.
With just a single attack, the young man killed all of the whale dragons, including the two Wild Beasts. All of them could not resist him at all!
What kind of strength is this?! Is there an expert at such an incredible level in the Endless Sea?
Who is this person?!
Zhao Shuai kept trying to identify Ning Fan’s face.
The moment he got a clear view of Ning Fan’s appearance, a tough and sturdy man like him was nearly paralyzed by his own fear.
“It’s him! He is Venerated Ming who killed a Void Refinement Realm expert with his bare fists, Zhou Ming!”
Killing a Void Refinement Realm expert with his bare fists!
In this Endless Sea where Divine Transformation Realm cultivators were highly revered, in this Rain World where there were only a small number of Void Refinement Realm experts, what a terrifying idea it was that a man could a kill Void Refinement Realm expert with just his bare fists!
