On the battlefield, as the number of people decreased, even though those Different Race Immortal Emperors couldn’t open their eyes and spread their spirit sense, they could slightly determine Ning Fan’s position by sound.

Under the opening of the Primordial Thunder Cauldron, Ning Fan also suffered from its side effects, unable to perceive his surroundings, and had to rely on sound to judge the enemy’s attack. But since several of the enemy Immortal Emperors used soundless Divine Skills, Ning Fan was unable to dodge when those attacks approached, and eventually got hit.

With the strength of Ning Fan’s Eternal True Body, being hit by several Immortal Emperors still caused some injuries. Fortunately, the injuries were not severe, and with the Cross Halo’s healing, he recovered instantly.

When the enemy forces were large, Ning Fan could keep the Primordial Thunder Cauldron’s light on and engage in chaotic battles.

When only Immortal Emperors remained, the effect of the Primordial Thunder Cauldron was greatly reduced, turning into a factor that affected Ning Fan’s combat performance.

Seeing that the enemy’s millions of troops were driven back to the water’s depth, Ning Fan also took back the Primordial Thunder Cauldron, withdrew the all-encompassing thunder light, and his Eternal True Body coldly scanned the enemy Immortal Emperors.

Not counting the True Spirit Body of Longx Anguo, among the remaining nine emperors on the opposing side, there were three Eight Tribulations, two Seven Tribulations, and four Six Tribulations.

Ning Fan estimated that with his current strength and means, if fighting one-on-one, defeating an Eight Tribulations Celestial Emperor was feasible, but if fighting one against ten, the odds became very slim.

The opponent had the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle to limit him, so wanting to use the Flooded Bottle to kill the enemy en masse was unrealistic.

Therefore, he could only engage in a bloody battle. The outcome of this battle was uncertain, and Ning Fan didn’t even see a thirty percent chance of winning. But as long as he still stands here, the different race shall not take a single step into Lingyun Pass!

"Be careful! This kid’s gaze is fierce, afraid he wants to fight us desperately. Maintain distance with him, though you have the Pingdong Talisman bestowed by the Grand Divine Minister, you won’t be immobilized by his Ancestral Arts of Eastern Heaven, but if drawn into the Cross Halo range, you’ll be in danger, subjected to focused attacks of his Divine Skills! Note within his range, he can instantly unleash a thousand Divine Skills, equivalent to having a thousand body doubles of the same level attacking simultaneously, his might should not be directly challenged, only distance can be maintained!"

"Moreover, be cautious, this kid possesses multiple Innate Mid-grade Treasures! Second Brother, use the Sword of Severing Bonds, my physical defense is already destroyed, unfit to consume too much Mana, I’ll just assist you from the side, preventing him from escaping!"

Longx Anguo sensed Ning Fan’s intent to fight desperately, worried that Ning Fan might injure him further, thus he only supported the battle from the side, handed the Innate Mid-grade Sword of Severing Bonds to the Second Prince for use, while he, filled the space with a web of Divine Skills, sealing all of Ning Fan’s escape routes.

He couldn’t exert much power currently, and had to guard against Ning Fan escaping, naturally making him unable to join the battle. But in his view, even if he didn’t join, their side’s nine Immortal Emperors joining forces was enough to deal with Ning Fan.

"If the Great Crown Prince of the Dragon-Horse Clan doesn’t intervene, the battle is one against nine..."

Jiang Ang, Jiang Ang, Jiang Ang...

A completely fiery red Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan suddenly inflated its abdomen, making a strange sound like the cry of a bull.

This was an Eight Tribulations Immortal Emperor, not a powerhouse within the Eight Tribulations, yet not comparable to average Seven Tribulations Immortal Emperors. The Fire Toad Clan Immortal Emperor’s abdomen inflated to a certain extent, suddenly its eyes became fierce, and it spewed a sky full of bloody poison slurry. Ning Fan felt an assault of a foul wind, instantly enveloped by the poison slurry covering the sky.

Such swift poison attack! And the toxicity of the poison slurry made Ning Fan feel a sense of crisis.

If not for Ning Fan practicing Poisonous Yin-Yang, with his Immortal Venerable Cultivation Level, he would suffer severe injuries merely by smelling the foul wind.

Bang!

Ning Fan ignored the poison slurry hitting his True Body, and continuously delivered Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike, exploding the sky full of poison slurry, turning it into poisonous rain falling on the river surface.

This greatly troubled those hidden in shallow water depths, low-level different races, as the poisonous rain mixed into the water, immediately poisoning and killing hundreds of thousands of different races!

"Poison Control Positions! No, not real Control Positions, but wanting to injure this kid with poison attack isn’t easy..." the Fire Toad Clan Immortal Emperor’s gaze was gloomy.

While Ning Fan exploded the Fire Toad Clan Immortal Emperor’s attack, the Immortal Emperors from the Leisha Clan and Heie Clan, from left and right, had already delivered two beams of divine light toward Ning Fan.

The Leisha Clan Immortal Emperor’s divine light was a dazzling purple thunder light, and the Heie Clan Immortal Emperor’s attack was a beam of ren water divine light that could corrode all things in the world.

Almost at the instant Ning Fan repelled the sky full of poison slurry, these two attacks approached him, with Ning Fan’s fists unable to retract in time, struck his Eternal True Body.

Both of these Immortal Emperors were Six Calamities Cultivation, even joined forces, not breaking Ning Fan’s Eternal True Body’s defense with a single blow, deeply shocked by the terror of Ning Fan’s True Body.

Though not directly breaking Ning Fan’s True Body’s defense, it dimmed the golden flames of Ning Fan’s True Body momentarily, causing slight weakening.

If the enemy were just these two Immortal Emperors, Ning Fan could stall them for a while, allowing the dimmed golden flames to recover to their original state.

But the enemy consisted of ten Immortal Emperors! Their relentless attacks on Ning Fan gave him no respite, just as the attacks from the two emperors of the Leisha Clan and Heie Clan ceased, a heavy punch struck Ning Fan’s back fiercely!

It was a Hundred-Eyed Giant covered in seaweed, wearing a necklace of giant skulls, a Six Calamities Immortal Emperor of the Tianmu Clan.

The Tianmu Clan doesn’t excel in Divine Skills, but in Body Refinement. The timing of this punch was flawlessly captured, delivered when Ning Fan’s Eternal True Body’s golden flames were dimmed, the punch arrived, its force shook Ning Fan’s Eternal True Body, causing injury and making him spit blood!

Ning Fan’s gaze was indifferent and ruthless as if he had not been injured, within the range of the Cross Halo, forming hundreds of Divine Skills, hurling at the Hundred-Eyed Giant from behind.

The Hundred-Eyed Giant managed a successful sneak attack, yet due to the close-range attack, it stepped into the range of Ning Fan’s Cross Halo. Watching Ning Fan endure the full-force blow and yet remain completely unmoving, only spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Hundred-Eyed Giant was secretly frightened.

Within the Cross Halo, destructive divine power blocked all retreats, surrounding him. The Hundred-Eyed Giant’s face turned ashen as he roared, "Daoist, save me!"

There was no need for the Hundred-Eyed Giant to call for help; seeing his successful sneak attack but being trapped in Ning Fan’s Cross Halo, two Dragon-Horse Princes quickly utilized divine skills to spatially transfer the Hundred-Eyed Giant, directly moving him out of the halo’s range, avoiding Ning Fan’s strike.

Additionally, the Dragon-Horse Second Crown Prince wielded the Sword of Severing Bonds, slashing in the air, forcing Ning Fan to miss the opportunity to pursue the Hundred-Eyed Giant.

Ning Fan waved his true self’s mighty hand, summoning the Sun Moon Stars Stele to block the Severing Fate Sword Light.

However, he had no time to catch his breath, as the Dragon-Horse Second Prince’s missed strike was followed by the Third Prince and Fourth Prince spewing endless flames to burn him.

A truly perfect team coordination doesn’t mean everyone participates in the attack simultaneously, but rather in a well-organized allocation of positions, where some take the offensive, others support, attacking in batches and alternating roles, never giving the enemy a chance to catch their breath.

This is precisely the situation now; these different race Immortal Emperors must have rehearsed their combat strategy against Ning Fan, otherwise such perfect coordination wouldn’t exist, enabling them to instantly find their attack and defense positions no matter how Ning Fan counterattacked, performing their roles accordingly...

Such seamless cooperation could even give them a chance against a First Order Quasi-Saint. Ning Fan’s methods were greatly restrained, engaging in a desperate battle against a group of emperors with only an Immortal Venerable’s cultivation level, feeling more pressure than when facing sixteen Immortal Emperors of the different race last time.

Unyielding, unyielding, unyielding!

Under the enemy’s perfect coordination, Ning Fan attacked less and defended more, often getting wounded, increasing the damage to his Eternal True Body.

At this moment, Ning Fan forgot about the dangers of battle, forgot about his escalating injuries. Despite being cornered, his heart harbored no hint of surrender; instead, it seemed filled with raging demon thoughts, increasingly dominating his mind—the unyielding demon thoughts of the Ancient Demon that could obliterate everything!

He mustn’t lose!

Lingyun Pass was just behind; if he lost, his over thousand subordinates would perish!

One punch after another of the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike was executed, as its momentum increased with each blow; when it reached three thousand consecutive hits, Ning Fan seized the opportunity, delivering a punch that directly blew up the Hundred-Eyed Giant’s physical defense as it tried to sneak attack him again!

He endured the sneak attack of the Hundred-Eyed Giant despite his severe injuries, yet fought back with the injuries, slaying the Hundred-Eyed Giant!

This Hundred-Eyed Giant hadn’t yet cultivated a True Spirit, merely an ordinary rank Immortal Emperor Demon Soul. As its physical defense was shattered, Ning Fan instantly captured the demon soul, casually tossing it into the Refining God Cauldron spinning around him to kill it!

The different race Immortal Emperors were all shocked, not expecting Ning Fan to risk severe injuries just to kill an Immortal Emperor—was this man crazy!

Throughout, Ning Fan had always left an impression on them due to his endless array of techniques.

But at this moment, these different race Immortal Emperors for the first time realized that Ning Fan wasn’t terrifying due to his techniques, but rather because of his insane fighting style!

Currently, Ning Fan entirely operated using Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor’s cultivation, the aura around him emanating not the usual Blood Lightning crimson glow, but a filthy and evil black essence. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Risking severe injuries just to kill the Hundred-Eyed Giant, the benefits were enormous. Being adept in the Lifestealer Technique, at the moment of killing the Hundred-Eyed Giant, he absorbed its blood and essence, his cultivation soaring temporarily!

"Why did his aura strengthen!" exclaimed an Immortal Emperor of the different race in shock.

"It’s the Ancient Demon Slaughter Technique!" Longx Anguo, with extensive experience, recognized the reason behind Ning Fan’s strengthened aura, his expression shifting.

This is the Great Divine Power only available to the Seal Devil Peak’s Master—how does Ning Fan know it!

Upon hearing that Ning Fan was using the Slaughter Technique, the Dragon-Horse Second Crown Prince was also horrified. He shouted, "Don’t let him devour God Eye Daoist’s corpse and flesh! If he heals with the Slaughter Technique, all our efforts to injure him would be in vain!"

Can the Slaughter Technique also heal? Ning Fan was unaware.

However, Ning Fan didn’t have time to heed the Dragon-Horse Second Crown Prince’s words, as after killing the Hundred-Eyed Giant, his aura greatly elevated—each punch of the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike possessed more than thirty percent increased power compared to earlier.

Injured or not, he didn’t care anymore!

He wanted to slay more Immortal Emperors!

He wanted to cause more enemy casualties!

He wanted to... defend Lingyun Pass!

Boom!

The Dragon-Horse Third Crown Prince summoned a dragon bone refined over many years, smashing Ning Fan, causing him to spew blood and fly out.

Ning Fan didn’t defend against the dragon bone attack; instead, using the momentum, he flew towards another direction where there was another Dragon-Horse Prince—the Dragon-Horse Sixth Prince!

Just a moment ago, the Sixth Prince of the Dragon-Horse Clan was sneering, laughing as Ning Fan was pitifully struck away by their third brother.

The next moment, his expression changed. He saw Ning Fan flying towards him, coughing blood while sneering coldly. That kind of smile, not even the fiercest evil sect could muster.

It was a madness that completely disregards life and death!

It was a deathly smile that, even if he perished here today, would drag all the Immortal Emperors to hell!

Ning Fan’s vision was obscured by the blood flowing from his forehead, and the entire world seemed blood-red in that instant; adding to his severe injuries, Ning Fan’s vision became shaky and blurred.

In his blurry sight, Ning Fan locked onto the Sixth Prince of the Dragon-Horse Clan, ignoring the attacks of others!

The Fourth Prince released the Fire Dragon Tendon, entangling Ning Fan’s true self’s left foot, attempting to stop Ning Fan from closing in on the Sixth Prince, so... Ning Fan directly severed his left foot, shattering the Fire Dragon Tendon. Freed from the entanglement, he quickly flew towards the Sixth Prince!

The Purple Thunder Divine Nail of the Leisha Clan pierced through Ning Fan’s chest, causing blood to flow like a column, yet it still couldn’t stop Ning Fan’s momentum.

Seeing Ning Fan approaching regardless of the cost, the Sixth Prince trembled all over, intimidated by Ning Fan’s nearly insane actions.

He unleashed his full speed to retreat, but Ning Fan’s approach was faster, and their distance was closing rapidly!

He released all his Innate Dragon Fire, forming a wall of fire, trapping Ning Fan within. Ten ancient and massive fire dragons transformed into ancient dragon chains, locking Ning Fan within the wall of fire. Yet in the next moment, Ning Fan, like a person on fire, shattered countless chains and burst out of the wall of fire, punching his giant dragon body!

This was the 3,200th punch of the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike!

Three thousand consecutive strikes was Ning Fan’s limit, and the 3,200th punch would backfire on him, exceeding his endurance.

Ning Fan had no intention to start the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike all over again; he insisted on trading injuries for injuries, insisted on unleashing the 3,200th punch beyond his limits!

This was not an attack that the Sixth Prince of the Dragon-Horse Clan with Seven Tribulations cultivation could withstand directly! Ning Fan was too fast for him to dodge, leaving him no choice but to raise his dragon claws to meet Ning Fan’s punch.

In just an instant, the Sixth Prince clashed with Ning Fan dozens of times, bearing dozens of consecutive Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strikes beyond three thousand punches!

Under the ravaging power of the punches, the Sixth Prince’s giant dragon body continued to collapse, spilling blood across the sky. In the end, his entire dragon body was blasted apart by Ning Fan. Amidst the chaos of flying flesh, his true spirit was captured by Ning Fan, who casually imposed a restriction and threw it into the Xuan Yin Treasure!

Another Immortal Emperor was seized!

Though he didn’t directly kill the Sixth Prince, Ning Fan blasted the prince’s physical body apart and absorbed a substantial amount of blood and essence. Empowered by the Lifestealer Technique, Ning Fan’s aura grew even stronger, with mana so vast it was on par with an average Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor!

Despite being at a disadvantage, Ning Fan persisted through his severe injuries, taking down two Immortal Emperors. Such a scene intimidated each Different Race Immortal Emperor. Their expressions were filled with indescribable fear, and for a moment, no one dared to attack Ning Fan while he was weakened and catching his breath, all were frozen in place.

"What are you hesitating for! His leg is severed, his speed is much reduced, and his injuries are severe; he is clearly at the end of his strength! Don’t be scared by his record of dispatching two Emperors, he can’t possibly take down another one. Quickly, kill him, don’t give him time to recover!" Long Anguo roared.

With these words, the fear among all the Different Race Immortal Emperors vanished, and they resumed their cold killing intent, aiming to eliminate Ning Fan while he was weak.

Among them, after some consideration, the Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan rushed out first.

"Let this old man kill him!"

The Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan rushed out first, swallowing Ning Fan in one gulp, intending to directly refine him inside his body.

He did this for selfish reasons!

He wanted to devour all of Ning Fan’s flesh and blood essence, and thus, using his clan’s secret technique, learn Ning Fan’s entire set of divine skills and methods!

If Ning Fan were in full strength, he wouldn’t dare to swallow him, as that was too risky. But didn’t Lord Long Anguo say, Ning Fan was already at the end of his strength, and inside he has a Sage’s Poison seated, so killing Ning Fan shouldn’t be difficult...

"Holy Poison Melting!"

The Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan fully displayed his divine skills, using an ancient holy poison he had refined for many years, just to melt Ning Fan’s body and flesh inside.

Seeing the Fire Toad Clan’s Immortal Emperor even used Sage’s Poison, all the others reacted with different expressions.

As the name implies, Sage’s Poison is a potent poison left by the Fire Toad Clan’s ancestral saint. In the eyes of the crowd, using the Sage’s Poison to kill Ning Fan, surely it couldn’t fail.

Yet the Fire Toad Clan has a secret technique, consuming the enemy’s flesh can have a very small chance of acquiring the enemy’s divine power and absolute skills...

Everyone could see that the Fire Toad Clan’s Immortal Emperor, even at the cost of using Sage’s Poison, wanted to devour Ning Fan to secretly learn Ning Fan’s incredible skills.

The thought that the Fire Toad Clan’s Immortal Emperor might learn skills like the Cross Halo was somewhat enviable to Long Anguo and others who were envious of the Fire Toad’s luck.

"Has that kid been killed by the Sage’s Poison?" Longx Anguo, although trusting in the power of the Sage’s Poison, still asked again, looking at the Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan with a hint of apprehension.

In his mind, if this old red toad truly learned Ning Fan’s Cross Halo, he might secretly plot something against him...

"Of course, he was killed. That kid has now turned into a pool of pus and blood inside my stomach, already..." The Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan was just feeling proud, but suddenly his face turned extremely pale, his huge toad face inexplicably drenched in cold sweat, as if caught in a downpour. Tongue-tied, he couldn’t utter a single word for a long time.

"What’s wrong! Has something happened!" The various emperors were shocked and asked.

But the Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan did not answer.

Because he had no chance to answer anymore!

Inside his stomach, Ning Fan unleashed a combination of a hundred Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strikes at a rate of dozens of punches per second!

Just a moment ago, the Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan was full of himself, but the next moment, his body collapsed, not only was his physical form exploded by Ning Fan but Ning Fan also captured his Demon Soul from within and casually threw it into the Refining God Cauldron to kill him!

Another emperor falls! And it was an Eight Tribulations Celestial Emperor! But Ning Fan paid a hefty price.

The current state of him was incredibly terrifying, his entire body devoid of any good flesh, skin festering, flesh corroding, even showing deep white bones; his left leg was previously broken, now the wound was eroded by toxic poison, making it even harder to heal; half of his face was rotted by the poison of the Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan, pus flowed freely from the wound, spreading a stench, evidence that there was still fierce poison in Ning Fan’s body that could not be dispelled!

Although Ning Fan had cultivated the Poisonous Yin-Yang, he was still severely injured by that drop of Sage’s fierce poison passed down for years by the Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan. If this drop of Sage’s poison were not so old, with less than one-tenth of its power, Ning Fan would absolutely be annihilated directly by the Sage’s Poison!

Even though he’s not dead at the moment, Ning Fan only temporarily slowed the spread of the Sage’s Poison in his body using the power of Poisonous Yin-Yang but did not have the means to expel the Sage’s Poison from his body.

Wisps of Sage’s Poison power were slowly dissolving within him, causing his flesh to continue rotting, unable to heal; his blood-soaked appearance was extremely fierce, like a true monster, with only his battle intent in the monstrous eyes remaining unyielding.

After slaying the Immortal Emperor of the Fire Toad Clan, Ning Fan’s momentum soared substantially, even surpassing the limits that his Ancient Demon Blood Wine cultivations could withstand!

But Ning Fan couldn’t care less!

He knew that if the amplification of the Slaughter Technique exceeded his body’s tolerance, it would cause severe backlash. But if he couldn’t break through the current predicament, everything would be just empty talk, and what difference did it make if there was backlash?

He allowed his meridians to rupture within, his Spirit to swell to the breaking point, letting the backlash of the Slaughter Technique rampage inside.

With the left leg broken and impacted by poison, completely unable to recover, he chose not to mend it, directly standing on one foot and stepping into the sky, flying toward the Immortal Emperor of the Leisha (Thunder Shark) Clan!

"Not good! This time this lunatic wants to kill me!" The Leisha Clan Immortal Emperor was horrified, retreating continuously while spitting out his life essence thunder light, attempting to pulverize Ning Fan.

It was an innate thunder light, which was not weak in power, but in front of Ning Fan, a cultivator practiced in Flame Thunder, this level of thunder light was nothing.

Numerous Immortal Emperors assisted the Leisha Clan Immortal Emperor, launching divine skills at Ning Fan, piercing his Eternal True Body with countless ferocious wounds, yet they couldn’t halt Ning Fan’s forward march.

He bypassed the dense thunder light attack, striking dozens of punches in an instant!

The Leisha Clan Immortal Emperor had nowhere to hide, forced to withstand the punch beams with his physical form. But he was only a Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor, not skilled in Body Refinement, how could he possibly withstand dozens of punches from Ning Fan and not die!

His body was immediately blasted apart, his Demon Soul captured!

The Refining God Cauldron directly killed the Leisha Clan Immortal Emperor!

This was the fourth emperor Ning Fan slew, but he felt that at this moment, he didn’t have any extra strength left to slay any more Immortal Emperors.

He had already overdrawn the potential of his body to the limit, seemingly at the end of his path, seemingly even lacking the strength to stand.

Despite having no extra power, despite nearing death, this near-death state seemingly elevated his Slaughter Technique to a brand-new realm.

No longer merely the realm of the Unity of Technique and Path.

But... The Unity of Technique, Dao, and Thought...

Technique is the means, Dao is responsibility, and thought... is the thought in the face of death...

Only the truly dying yet unyielding Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor can sense the highest mystery realm of the Slaughter Technique.

Ning Fan didn’t know that this near-death state allowed him the opportunity to sublime the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor’s Slaughter Technique again, step by step nearing perfection.

He merely felt a sense of strangeness. Despite nearing death, his body seemed to start absorbing the blood essence of the deceased from heaven and earth. As a result, there was a tingling sensation coming from his wounds...
