Grasping the Evil-Chapter 934: Beauty Matters More Than Destiny
Remembered.
The lost memories, like a long-dried riverbed, gradually filled with water.
It wasn’t someone else’s water, but the water he once lost... These memories were his own, unique, irreplaceable.
The sound and appearance of the paper crane gradually became clear, and scenes of memory also became clear.
Ning Fan smiled bitterly. He actually forgot so many things in the Seventh Calamity, almost dying within it. This Seventh Calamity was truly terrifying.
Moreover, during his memory loss, he even exploded most of the magical treasures on him, which was indeed somewhat wasteful.
Waste it may be, but in any case, he finally regained his memory. What Ning Fan didn’t expect was that not only he retrieved his own memory, but also memories of others mixed in, flowing into his mind.
"I am Tagu, this art is a Barbarian Fourth-Grade Mystical Art, Grand Flash Curse..."
"I am Tagu, this art is a Barbarian Fifth-Grade Mystical Art, Underworld Dog Art..."
"...Fifth-Grade Mystical Art, All-Heavens Style..."
"...Sixth-Grade Mystical Art, Cloud Light Three Forms Art..."
When Ning Fan stabbed the giant shadow of Tagu with his sword, he not only reclaimed his own memory but also accidentally took away part of Tagu’s memory.
It turned out this giant shadow was the shadow of the Seventh Generation Barbarian God Tagu. And those memories, without exception, were all about Barbarian mystical arts.
With just one sword, four Barbarian mystical arts’ cultivation methods filled Ning Fan’s mind. Although these four mystical arts didn’t seem to be very profound or useful, this action thoroughly enraged Tagu.
Furious, what rage!
To have a dignified Seventh Generation Barbarian God be bitten back by a ’Barbarian junior’ passing the Seventh Calamity, losing some memories, was an enormous humiliation.
"You, Barbarian junior, dare to usurp the divine, seizing the god’s memory, it must be said, you are very bold!" Tagu’s face was menacingly grim.
Since ancient times, never has any Young Master Barbarian dared to attack a Barbarian God during the calamity pass.
Because they dare not! The Barbarian God is the deity of Pluck. Any Pluck, no matter the reason, will be hunted by all Pluck in the world once they lay a hand on the Barbarian God, unceasing until death.
Tagu never expected Ning Fan to break out of the Obliteration River nor dare to stab him with a sword. In his carelessness, he let Ning Fan get away with it, a sword pierced right through his chest.
The dignified Barbarian God, assassinated by a junior undergoing True Immortal Tribulation, how embarrassing!
If today’s events were revealed, this child would no longer have a place in the Ancient Barbarian Realm, and even the Barbarian clan behind him could face annihilation.
Just because this child stabbed the Barbarian God with a sword, it is a monumental crime among Pluck!
Tagu assumed Ning Fan was some Young Master Barbarian from the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, not knowing Ning Fan was not a Barbarian at all.
Ning Fan wasn’t a Barbarian, unaware of the gravity of injuring a Barbarian God; he only knew the lost memories were tremendously important and must be reclaimed at all costs.
And even if he knew, he would still deliver that sword without hesitation.
He’s not a Pluck, nor in the Ancient Barbarian Realm, unfazed by the countless Pluck hunts of the Ancient Barbarian Realm. Could those Pluck even go to pursue him across the four heavens and nine worlds?
However, the Obliteration Art is indeed formidable. Once trapped in the river, even an Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to escape, one’s cultivation and memory would become part of the river, ultimately dying.
Fortunately, Ning Fan had the eyesight of the Second Realm of Tianren, seeing some weaknesses in Tagu’s divine technique. After exploding countless magical treasures, he finally destabilized the spell momentarily, took the chance to escape the riverbed, and stabbed Tagu once.
If he were to fall into the river again, Ning Fan wasn’t sure if he’d be as lucky to escape once more.
But since he’s escaped, he must collect some interest from this Seventh Generation Barbarian God.
Ning Fan’s gaze grew colder, and the sword mark stabbed into Tagu’s giant shadow suddenly slashed horizontally, cutting Tagu’s gigantic shadow into two directly.
This giant shadow was extremely fragile, utterly unlike the tenacity of the Obliteration Art. Severing Tagu’s giant shadow in one stroke, Ning Fan’s mind filled with much more memory.
"...Sixth-Grade Mystical Art, Sprinting Ghost Art..."
"...Seventh-Grade Mystical Art, Five Directions and Four Lands Art..."
"...Seventh-Grade Mystical Art, Blazing Fire Curse..."
"...Eighth-Grade Mystical Art, Four Directions Annihilation Curse..."
"...Ninth-Grade Mystical Art, Obliteration Technique..."
And more mystical arts continually poured into Ning Fan’s mind; in total over a hundred types, including the Obliteration Technique Tagu was currently using!
In the Barbarian clan, Seventh-Grade Mystical Art is equivalent to the Shedding Void Stage, Eighth-Grade Mystical Art to Shattered Thought Grade.
The Obliteration Art is a Ninth-Grade Mystical Art, and not an ordinary Ninth-Grade, within the four heavens and nine worlds, it’s definitely a rare Immortal Emperor’s art.
After gaining the memory of the Obliteration Art, Ning Fan looked at the river water again, and his gaze suddenly turned odd.
With this portion of memory, Ning Fan knew all of the Obliteration Art’s weaknesses; if trapped in the water again, he even felt confident he could break the art head-on.
I gained a huge chunk of memory for nothing...
"Bold indeed! But useless!" The giant shadow of Tagu, severed in half, reformed as one, his face more grim, and with a giant hand he pressed fiercely towards Ning Fan.
He didn’t expect that after committing a grave sin once, Ning Fan dared to commit a second crime, slashing him with another sword.
With this press, heaven and earth immediately reversed; Ning Fan, who had just escaped the river, suddenly wavered and fell once again into the riverbed, sinking bit by bit.
"I don’t care how you escaped this river just now, but this time, you will have no chance of escaping again!"
Tagu repeatedly pointed at the river with a hooked finger, instantly sealing the river surface with countless runes like a layer of transparent glass.
He was sure Ning Fan, sinking into the river bed again, wouldn’t break through the seal to escape.
Dare to assassinate a Barbarian God... Ha, truly a courageous junior, but useless, he will ultimately perish beneath this river. Tagu slightly closed his eyes, dismissing the sight.
Falling into the river bed again, Ning Fan’s gaze was extremely calm, directly sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the river, forming ancient hand signs.
This time, he was not in a hurry to flee. He obtained the cultivation method of the Obliteration Art, within which lies the method to counter the art.
The Obliteration River has tremendous power, even Immortal Emperors fear it considerably. Yet after Ning Fan formed dozens of hand seals, the water within three feet of him strangely receded, forming a vacuum area.
Any water trying to approach Ning Fan was pushed away by a gentle force. Gradually, even parts of the river became controlled by Ning Fan, obeying his commands, moving east or west with just his thoughts.
Before obtaining the cultivation method of the Obliteration Art, Ning Fan couldn’t see any pattern, but now, looking at the black river, he perceived something different.
It was no river water, but rather countless black runes formed by aggregating Barbarian Flash Power, flowing to form the river.
Ning Fan wasn’t actually controlling the river’s flow; instead, he was controlling the black runes, of which the flow was made.
And those hand signs were precisely for controlling the runes!
The river’s runes numbered in billions; with Ning Fan’s cultivation, he couldn’t control too many, only those within three feet around him.
Even so, it was enough to protect oneself in the river, keeping the water at bay.
"This is... the spirit sense of the Obliteration Technique!" Tagu’s eyes darkened.
He only knew that many of his memories were taken by Ning Fan, but he didn’t know that the method to cultivate the Obliteration Technique was among them.
As such, it wouldn’t be easy to use the Obliteration Technique to kill Ning Fan.
Fortunately, he had already placed a seal upon the long river; although this technique couldn’t kill Ning Fan, trapping him was still quite easy.
But how long could he trap Ning Fan?
Tagu felt resentment in his heart. He was merely the Shanhai Shadow left by the Seventh Generation Barbarian God, and this Shanhai Shadow could only use the Obliteration Technique as its sole mystical art. Without any other mystical art, there was no chance of killing Ning Fan. How frustrating it was that a grand Barbarian God couldn’t kill a True Enlightenment junior.
Moreover, the power of this Shanhai Shadow was limited; it could only trap Ning Fan for seven days at most.
After seven days, if Ning Fan still wasn’t dead, the power of this Shanhai Shadow would be exhausted, and by then, the long river would dissipate, and Ning Fan would have passed the seventh calamity.
Throughout history, how many Young Master Barbarians have passed the seventh calamity? Less than one in a thousand. To let this offending junior pass the seventh calamity, Tagu was unwilling, yet powerless to stop the other from successfully undergoing tribulation.
So, he felt frustrated, and even more enraged as what was happening slowly unfolded.
Ning Fan sat peacefully at the bottom of the river, calmly cultivating the Obliteration Technique!
This was outright defiance of the authority of the Seventh Generation Barbarian God!
A dignified Seventh Generation Barbarian God couldn’t even kill a True Enlightenment junior, and this junior dared to openly cultivate his famed mystical art right before him.
Truly audacious!
Tagu sneered; this Obliteration Technique wasn’t so easy to cultivate.
Speaking of which, this technique wasn’t a Barbarian Clan mystical art; it was a Calamity Blood Mystical Art he traded from a strong Taicang Calamity Spirit.
The Barbarian Clan was subservient to the Taicang Calamity Spirit; by the time it was his turn to become a Barbarian God, the Ancient Barbarian Realm had already fallen.
As a Barbarian God of his generation, he lived quite stifled, fearing to provoke powerful Taicang Calamity Spirits in everyday encounters. Even when he met weaker ones, he had to treat them politely, not daring to offend.
In the world of Barbarians, he was a god among races with an esteemed status, but before the Taicang Calamity Spirits, he was merely a servant of a fallen nation.
Fortunately, Tagu was smooth in handling relationships and had befriended many Taicang Calamity Spirits, from whom he acquired some Calamity Blood Mystical Arts.
The bloodline of the Taicang Calamity Spirits shared commonalities with the Barbarian bloodline, though somehow, the bloodline of the Taicang Calamity Spirits was naturally of higher caliber than Barbarian blood.
Taicang Calamity Spirits could cultivate Barbarian Clan mystical arts, but Barbarians couldn’t use the mystical arts of the Taicang Calamity Spirits.
If a Barbarian forcibly learned Calamity Blood Mystical Arts, there would only be one outcome: going insane, and self-immolation due to the bloodline!
The Obliteration Technique was a Calamity Blood Mystical Art which, by logic, Tagu shouldn’t have been able to learn.
Luckily, with many friends, especially with help from some Taicang Calamity Spirit friends, they implanted a Calamity Spirit Blood Charm within him.
Thus, he could barely execute this Obliteration Technique and once used this technique to look down upon the Ancient Barbarian Realm.
Unfortunately, he remained not a true Taicang Calamity Spirit; even if he could reluctantly perform the Obliteration Technique, it had many flaws and couldn’t be perfected.
This was also the reason why Ning Fan could fortunately escape from the long river; if a true Taicang Calamity Spirit had used this technique, whether Ning Fan could have escaped would be another matter.
At the moment, Tagu chuckled quietly, seeing Ning Fan courting death by daring to cultivate Calamity Blood Mystical Arts as a Barbarian.
He was unaware that Ning Fan was no Barbarian at all but possessed the very bloodline of the Taicang Calamity Spirits.
"In Tagu’s memory, there are a total of 132 mystical arts, with the Obliteration Technique being the only Calamity Blood Mystical Art, and it is the only mystical art of the ninth grade..."
The other mystical arts held no interest for Ning Fan, but the Obliteration Technique was quite useful.
Currently, Ning Fan possessed the powers of God, Yin Yang Transformation, Demon, and Calamity, with the power of Calamity Blood being the strongest.
But unfortunately, Ning Fan never knew any mystical arts belonging solely to the Calamity Spirit Clan.
Using Calamity Blood power to perform mystical arts from other clans, Ning Fan could manage, but this weakened the power of the mystical arts significantly.
Without a suitable mystical art, the combat strength of Calamity Blood couldn’t be fully unleashed.
What a coincidence... obtaining the cultivation method of the Obliteration Technique from Tagu’s memory.
Learning this technique could greatly enhance his battle power when fighting as a Calamity Spirit in the future.
The cultivation threshold for the Obliteration Technique was not high; even a Fate Immortal could cultivate it. However, to master this technique, one had to possess cultivation higher than that of an Immortal Emperor.
The power of this technique depended on the number of Obliteration Runes cultivated. The more runes, the stronger the technique.
The first Obliteration Rune was the hardest to cultivate, but a shortcut could be taken thereafter...
Ning Fan was in no hurry; once again trapped at the bottom of the long river, he intended to make Tagu, the high and mighty Barbarian God, pay!
Tagu assumed Ning Fan couldn’t cultivate the Obliteration Technique, while Ning Fan secretly plotted against Tagu.
One day and one night passed, yet Ning Fan still hadn’t passed the seventh calamity, nor had he died.
Outside, the Eye Orb Monster was somewhat anxious, but more so astonished.
"This brat can actually last this long in the path of the Seventh Generation Barbarian God’s Dao Like a Submerged Current; does he really have hope of passing the seventh calamity?"
It’s less than one in a thousand Young Master Barbarians who can pass the seventh calamity, and Ning Fan might just do it?
This brat is indeed defying the heavens!
"It’s said that upon passing the seventh calamity, one can not only cultivate Ancestral Barbarian Blood but also receive the blessing of a Barbarian God... Overseeing the tribulation for this brat is Barbarian God Tagu. If this child passes the seventh calamity, who knows what Tagu might reward him with." The Eye Orb Monster murmured, surprisingly feeling a bit confident about Ning Fan passing the seventh calamity.
With his discerning insights into countless people, it was the first time he began to truly regard Ning Fan highly.
Not for Ning Fan’s Severing Fate Sword Technique but for Ning Fan himself. A person with the prospect of passing the seventh calamity was enough to earn his attention!
Time slipped by slowly; the second day soon passed.
Ning Fan sat on the riverbed, hands changing in spirit sense, a slightly scarlet black rune materializing slowly before him.
Witnessing Ning Fan about to form the first Obliteration Rune, Tagu chuckled instead of being angry.
To him, Ning Fan was courting death. Trying to cultivate Calamity Blood Mystical Arts as a Barbarian, ha...
He, as a mere Shanhai Shadow, couldn’t kill Ning Fan, but watching Ning Fan die from bloodline self-combustion seemed satisfactory.
On the third day, Ning Fan finally mastered his first Obliteration Rune!
Tagu’s sneer grew more intense, waiting for the scene of Ning Fan’s blood burning himself to death. Yet he waited and waited, and Ning Fan just didn’t die.
There was only a trace of weariness on his face, with no strange expressions.
How could this be! As a Barbarian, cultivating Calamity Spirit Mystical Arts and not dying from blood combustion! Tagu’s eyes darkened, sensing something bizarre in this matter.
Could it be that this child is extremely lucky, and even has friends or elders among the Taicang Calamity Spirits, who helped plant a Calamity Spirit Blood Charm inside him?
There is also one point that Tagu couldn’t figure out.
The Obliteration Runes cultivated by Ning Fan seem to be purer and more formidable than the ones he cultivated himself.
He condensed his runes using Barbarian Flash Power, but Ning Fan seems not to be using Barbarian Flash Power...
Gradually, Tagu discovered something about it, something he was reluctant to believe, yet had to accept.
The reason Ning Fan’s runes are purer than his is because Ning Fan himself is a Taicang Calamity Spirit!
Thus, Ning Fan is better suited for cultivating the Obliteration Technique!
"This child is actually a Taicang Calamity Spirit, no wonder he dares to stab a sword at this God, with his Calamity Spirit identity, which Barbarian cultivator would dare to pursue him." Tagu sighed slightly, showing a wry smile.
Barbarians are slaves to Calamity Spirits, no matter how high a Barbarian’s cultivation is, they are still slaves.
No matter how high Ning Fan’s cultivation is, as long as he possesses the Calamity Spirit identity, he is not someone Tagu can easily confront.
Luckily, Tagu is already dead, leaving behind just a mere Shanhai Shadow, so he is not afraid of retaliation from the Taicang Calamity Spirits.
Since he’s dead, why fear anything from the Taicang Calamity Spirits!
If there were a means to kill Ning Fan, he would still do it, but unfortunately, his Shanhai Shadow couldn’t kill Ning Fan.
"What a pity... This God dared not act against the Taicang Calamity Spirits while alive, yet after death, if I could kill a Taicang Calamity Spirit, it would be wonderful. Too bad I can’t kill him..." Tagu sighed, without a thought to the possible consequences of killing a Calamity Spirit in the Ancient Barbarian Realm.
He did not have the integrity of a Barbarian God, he was inherently selfish, only such a person could continue to serve the Calamity Spirit Clan as a slave after the fall of the Ancient Barbarian Realm.
Those truly courageous would only die fighting to protect their realm, never making themselves a slave for anyone!
After Ning Fan cultivated his first Obliteration Rune, he did not continue cultivating a second rune but instead stood up from the riverbed.
A single Obliteration Rune holds no real power, unless the number surpasses ten thousand, then only a slight amount of power can be felt.
But even then, it would merely be slight; to achieve the power of the Obliteration Technique at the Enlightenment level, at least one hundred thousand runes are needed.
To reach Shedding Void power, a million runes are required.
For Shattered Thought power, ten million runes are necessary.
For Eternity Realm power, at least a billion runes, or even more, are needed.
Ning Fan can only cultivate one rune every three days, producing a hundred runes a year, a million after ten thousand years.
To give the Obliteration Technique the power of the Eternal Immortal Venerable, at least a million years of hard cultivation is required, perhaps even longer...
The normal means cannot quickly produce Obliteration Runes, but shortcuts do exist.
If encountering another expert cultivating the Obliteration Technique, one’s own runes can devour the opponent’s runes, rapidly condensing new runes.
The long river confining Ning Fan is formed from billions of runes!
Previously, Tagu used this long river to confine Ning Fan, to kill Ning Fan.
Now, it’s Ning Fan’s turn to borrow Tagu’s Obliteration River to cultivate runes!
"Devour!"
Ning Fan pointed forward with his fingers, and the Obliteration Rune he just cultivated immediately flew forward, beginning to devour countless runes within the river.
According to the introduction of the Obliteration Technique, devouring others’ runes requires about ten runes to cultivate one of one’s own.
The runes in Tagu’s river are numerous, enough for Ning Fan to cultivate for a while!
A stick of incense later, Ning Fan’s single rune became two!
Another stick of incense passed, and two runes turned into four!
Yet another stick of incense later, four runes transformed into eight!
This is geometric growth; the further it goes, the faster the increase in speed!
As time slowly passed, Ning Fan’s runes grew more numerous, and half an hour later, his rune count exceeded 4000.
Another half hour later, the rune count reached 11 million!
By now, the entire long river was completely gone, devoured empty by Ning Fan’s runes!
million Obliteration Runes, sufficient to give the Obliteration Technique Shattered Thought power!
"What a hateful brat!" Tagu’s bloodshot eyes watched the scene before him.
Ning Fan truly is bold, to easily devour all of his painstakingly cultivated runes.
If he were still alive, if he appeared before Ning Fan in his true body, Ning Fan wouldn’t stand a chance to easily devour his painstakingly cultivated Obliteration Runes.
But, after all, he is already dead, and his cultivated runes were imperfect, unlike Ning Fan’s runes that are so pure.
Helpless against Ning Fan’s action of devouring his runes, he could only watch Ning Fan ruin his runes.
How many years did he painstakingly cultivate to produce these tens of billions of Obliteration Runes! It took several millions of years!
This audacious thief, in less than an hour, obliterated all his painstaking efforts over millions of years.
"Hateful, hateful! If this God hadn’t died long ago, I would definitely grind you to dust to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Tagu roared at the sky, wishing he could chop Ning Fan into pieces and feed him to the dogs.
"Just you wait, wait for this God! Although this God is dead, this God has many life-and-death friends who, if this God intervenes, will surely not let you go. They too are Taicang Calamity Spirits, they fear not your identity!"
No matter how Tagu yelled, Ning Fan only coldly stared at Tagu in the night sky, his expression filled with indifference.
What of the once Seventh Generation Barbarian God! You strike at me, though my cultivation is inferior to yours, I can still make you pay the price.
The river was annihilated, and the surrounding night shattered entirely at this moment, revealing a bright sky outside, Ning Fan returned to the lake bottom in the valley ruins.
No matter how reluctant, Tagu’s giant shadow must dissipate, for once the river is broken, Ning Fan has passed the seventh calamity!
Within him, four drops of ancestral blood were cultivated at this moment!
The four drops of ancestral blood were devoured by the Calamity Blood, its level advanced towards the Three-Star mark, though not yet breaking through to Three-Star.
Still lacking slightly, but not much, perhaps after overcoming the eighth calamity, it can advance to the realm of True Blood Three Stars.
"Should the eighth calamity be overcome..." Ning Fan felt a bit of hesitation within.
The seventh calamity was already so difficult to overcome, had it been someone else, even an immortal emperor-level old monster, trapped by Tagu within the Obliteration River, they would face near-certain death.
How many cheats must Ning Fan have used to overcome the seventh calamity...
The Eighth Calamity, what kind of fearsome trial is it? One wrong step, and it could really lead to death...
He has not forgotten the sensation of memory loss during the Seventh Calamity, the feeling of forgetting even the paper crane, as if he wanted to grieve and cry, yet had forgotten why or for whom...
That’s a feeling Ning Fan does not wish to experience again.
However, with the Illusory Life Pill in hand, even if the Eighth Calamity is dangerous, and no matter how challenging, it should still safeguard his life...
"You brat, not bad at all, you actually passed the Seventh Calamity. Did Barbarian God Tagu reward you with any treasure?" The Eye Orb Monster’s exclamatory voice echoed at the bottom of the lake.
"Tagu wished to tear me to pieces, how could he possibly reward me," Ning Fan replied with a light chuckle and a shake of his head.
"Wished to tear you to pieces? It can’t be. The Barbarian God oversees Calamities and even if he truly wanted to kill you during the Calamity, it was only to test your ability to transcend tribulations, devoid of personal grudges. You didn’t kill his son or steal his wife, so why would Tagu want to tear you to pieces... unless you’ve done something like that... heh heh..." The Eye Orb Monster grinned lewdly, wearing the expression of a curious child, for his life brimmed with curiosity.
Ning Fan was too unbothered to discuss these trivial matters with the Eye Orb Monster. Without rewards, so be it, he had already gained a significant advantage from Tagu, there was no need for additional rewards.
He was more concerned about how difficult the Eighth Calamity would be.
He asked the Eye Orb Monster, who immediately became spirited, excitedly saying, "You brat, do you really want to face the Eighth Calamity?"
"Not very confident in overcoming it, but I still want to give it a try." Ning Fan replied with a slight, bitter smile.
"Well, yes, the Eighth Calamity is indeed very difficult. Your lack of confidence is understandable. Not to mention you, even Yin Mo, during his Barbarian Path, failed to transcend the Eighth Calamity... you must know, when he attempted the Eighth Calamity, his cultivation was already at the Immortal Emperor level, yet he still failed... From ancient times to now, only a mere seventy-four Young Master Barbarians have passed the Eighth Calamity, and more than half were at the peak Immortal Emperor cultivation. With your cultivation level, it’s normal to fail, no need to be disheartened. But you could try, it is said that failing the Eighth Calamity still comes with benefits." The Eye Orb Monster said mysteriously.
"What kind of benefits?" Ning Fan was slightly shocked.
The difficulty of the Eighth Calamity was beyond his imagination, but not surprising, as it was within his expectations.
What surprised him was that there are benefits even if one fails the Eighth Calamity.
"Having a feast for the eyes, does that count as a benefit? The Seventh Calamity’s content varies for everyone, but the Eighth Calamity is the same for all... The Fourth Generation Barbarian Goddess, she was the most beautiful throughout the Ancient Barbarian Realm’s history. With a large chest and hips, just a glance at her would leave you with no regrets in death. Heh heh, brat, you must face this calamity, if you don’t, I won’t get to admire the unparalleled charm of the Fourth Generation Barbarian Goddess, then I will die with regrets, and I will..."
Ning Fan shook his head, feeling a bit disappointed. A feast for the eyes, what kind of benefit is that?
This Eye Orb Monster is too much, to encourage him to face the Eighth Calamity just to see a beauty.
The Eighth Calamity is even more dangerous than the Sixth and Seventh Calamities, a slight mistake could mean death...
When he underwent the Sixth and Seventh Calamities, the Eye Orb Monster continually advised him not to face the calamities, citing how terribly dangerous they were.
But now...
Suddenly, Ning Fan thought of something, slowly walking out of the lake and giving the Eye Orb Monster a meaningful smile.
"I won’t face the Eighth Calamity."
"What! You actually give up the Eighth Calamity! Are you a pig, given a chance to see a beauty, and you give it up? The Eighth Calamity is dangerous, but can’t you be brave enough to set life and death aside for once? Is life less important than seeing a beauty in your heart?" The Eye Orb Monster was taken aback.
Evidently, in his heart, seeing a beauty was more important than life...
"Besides, it’s useless if you don’t want to face the Eighth Calamity, this time I won’t activate the Heaven-Deceiving Formation for you, heh heh, I want to see the beauty! Whether you’re willing or not, the Eighth Calamity will still descend!" The Eye Orb Monster thought for a moment, then laughed lewdly.
"I’ve already memorized your Heaven-Deceiving Formation, the Formation is mysterious but not too high-level, I can set it up myself now." Ning Fan’s eyes shone with azure light, he had already memorized the Heaven-Deceiving Formation by the lake.
Even if the Eye Orb Monster doesn’t help him, he can set up his own formation to avoid the Eighth Calamity!
Hearing this, the Eye Orb Monster was unable to laugh, and became anxious again.
If Ning Fan sets up his own formation to avoid the Eighth Calamity, there’s no way he could bring Ning Fan into the Calamity.
Then he wouldn’t be able to see the beauty...
"You really won’t help this old man fulfill a small wish! Even in death, this old man wishes to see the Fourth Generation Barbarian Goddess at least once!" The Eye Orb Monster feigned pitifulness with snot and tears.
"That’s your wish, not mine."
"You, you, you, you darn brat, I spent ninety billion Dao Crystals to help you break the Blessing Technique, and even used forty-three strong souls and the devil star blood of the Immortal Emperor..." This was a threat with favors.
"That was merely a mutual need, you helped me break the Blessing Technique, and I also promised to help you kill Yin Mo." Ning Fan felt some gratitude for the Eye Orb Monster’s help, but didn’t say it, merely giving the Eye Orb Monster a meaningful look.
"You! You ungrateful brat! Worthy inheritor of Ancient Chaos, the shame of Lieyuan Sect, you..."
The Eye Orb Monster cursed incoherently, truly at a loss with Ning Fan.
After waiting for the Eye Orb Monster to finish, Ning Fan smiled and said, "You helped me break the Blessing Technique, I’ll help you kill Yin Mo. That’s one thing. You want to see the beauty and want me to risk facing the Eighth Calamity, I can do that, but not without reward."
With this statement, the Eye Orb Monster understood and looked at Ning Fan with vexation.
Apparently, this brat wants a benefit! He didn’t really not want to face the Eighth Calamity! Given his personality, even if he couldn’t pass, he’d still give it a try.
Darn it, this brat is eyeing my belongings. The Eye Orb Monster felt a subtle pain.
He knew, if he didn’t offer something, Ning Fan wouldn’t let him peacefully see the beauty.
"Fine, fine, I’ll give you a Twelve Nirvana Magical Treasure, is that enough? You have no idea how poor I am after using the Blessed Technique..."
"No need to feign poverty, give me an Innate Treasure, and I’ll draw the Eighth Calamity for you."
"What, you actually want my Innate Treasure! No way, no negotiation!"
The Eye Orb Monster glared at Ning Fan indignantly and just then, large swathes of red clouds appeared over the lake.
The Eighth Calamity was about to arrive.
Upon seeing Ning Fan’s calm, yet subtly mischievous expression, the Eye Orb Monster for the first time thought that the perpetually stoic Ning Fan’s smile was adorable.
"Fine, fine, you win, you’re the boss. I’m afraid of you. After the Eighth Calamity, I’ll give you an Innate Treasure! Prepare for the Calamity now!"
As the Eye Orb Monster finished speaking, a light powder aroma already permeated the entire world with the wind.
The Eighth Calamity arrives!
(2/2) A double update, how terrifying. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
