Chapter 423: Chapter 421 Settlement Moment

“What??”

Lin Tiannan’s pupils shrank dramatically, sensing for the first time that a Nascent Soul was rebirthing and awakening inside Huo Canzi. He couldn’t help but feel chilled. Even if Ning Daoran were strong, he was only invincible at the Golden Core Stage. The gap between the Nascent Soul and Golden Core is vast; it’s simply impossible for a Golden Core to compete against a Nascent Soul!

“Purple Flame Demon Lord, how utterly despicable and shameless you are!”

Lin Tiannan immediately summoned his Golden Phoenix Sword and said gravely, “Purple Thunder Taoist, there is a Nascent Soul hidden within Huo Canzi’s body. Sangyu Country has cheated and broken the rules, please immediately dissipate the barrier and halt this fight technique tournament!”

“That’s right!”

True Monarch Qi Xing also summoned his Yimu Divine Ruler, saying, “This battle has already lost its meaning!”

“Sangyu Country, you are too despicable!”

Monarch Ling Fu gritted her teeth, her hatred for Sangyu Country’s Cultivation World deep to the bone.

“Ladies and gentlemen.”

Purple Flame Demon Lord said, “As you have seen, when Huo Canzi entered the fight technique arena, he was still at the Golden Core Stage, but what you don’t know… I have heard before that Huo Canzi was indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator a hundred years ago. Still, his Nascent Soul was shattered down to the Golden Core. However, only half of the Nascent Soul was dispersed. It seems now that Huo Canzi must have cultivated some secret technique that allowed the shattered Nascent Soul to be reborn, returning to the Nascent Soul stage. I believe this doesn’t count as breaking the rules.”

“Shut your mouth!”

True Monarch Liu Yun completely disregarded her ladylike image, pointing at the Purple Flame Demon Lord and fuming, “In the entire Sangyu Country, none are more shameless than you, Purple Flame Demon Lord! You truly are a disgrace to the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World!”

“Senior Zi Lei!”

Nian Wuya stepped forward urgently, “Please dissolve the prohibition quickly and terminate this fight technique! Pitting a Nascent Soul against a Golden Core is utterly bullying. Please don’t hesitate, Senior!”

“Hmm!”

Although the Purple Thunder True Monarch is a kind-hearted person, at this moment, even he felt that the actions of Sangyu Country were quite improper, going against the spirit of fair competition.

However, just as Purple Thunder True Monarch was about to dissipate the barrier, there was a sudden change within the barrier!

…

“Whoosh!”

Ning Daoran slapped his Storage Bag, and out flew three bright Array Flags and an Array Plate. With a gentle raise of his hand, the Array Flags and Array Plate flew like meteorites into a triangle position, immediately followed by the rise of an Isolating Array that reached the heavens!

Ten Directions Forbidden Array, simplified version!

In an instant, space was severed, and even though Purple Thunder True Man had dissolved the barrier, it was to no avail. Ning Daoran’s actions had effectively initiated a new barrier, completely isolating it from the outside.

“Seeking death!?”

Inside the array, above Huo Canzi’s head appeared a Nascent Soul resembling his main body but much younger in appearance, which snickered in a youthful tone, “You think you can compete with me for victory? I gave you a way out, but you didn’t take it. Don’t blame me for being ruthless now!”

Before his words ended, Ning Daoran made his move!

His mind suddenly focused into a fine point, and the moment he opened his eyes, a whip of Divine Soul Attack flashed from between his brows!

“What?!”

Outside, only Purple Thunder True Monarch and Purple Flame Demon Lord, both late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, noticed Ning Daoran’s Divine Thought Attack. Divine Thought Attack is a technique of the Divinity Transformation Stage!

Inside the great array, Huo Canzi’s Nascent Soul suddenly couldn’t move. Just reborn and not yet arrogant, it was briefly subdued by Ning Daoran’s Soul Suppressing Technique!

Because this Nascent Soul had just been reborn and was somewhat fragile, the Soul Suppressing Technique could hold for about two seconds!

That’s enough!

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~”

In an instant, a Fourth-order Middle Grade Ice Explosion Talisman fluttered out from Ning Daoran’s sleeve, along with four Fourth-order Lower Grade Ice Explosion Talismans–treasures refined by Lin Man before she left, all of which he immediately ignited and threw.

In just a moment, about forty percent of Ning Daoran’s Mana was drained!

These Fourth-order Talismans are truly not meant for casual use by Golden Core Stage cultivators. As the Ice Explosion Talismans were deployed, the entire Ten Directions Forbidden Array turned into an extremely low temperature domain, the frost spreading rapidly, freezing everything!

“You motherf***er…”

Huo Canzi was in a panic, and just as his Nascent Soul awoke from the Soul Suppressing Technique’s attack, it was immediately hit head-on by a Fourth-order Middle Grade Ice Explosion Talisman. Instinctively activating Instant Teleportation Divine Ability, the Nascent Soul jerked slightly above his head but failed to teleport!

That Ten Directions Forbidden Array was clearly in play, not even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could possibly activate Instant Teleportation Divine Ability under its influence!

“Die!”

Ning Daoran charged forward instantly, and just as the Nascent Soul was being frozen, he threw a left hook followed by a right hook, with Dragon Demon Power surging through his body and Nine Yang Extreme Flames swirling around his fists!

Thus, every punch hit flesh, causing the Nascent Soul little person to howl in agony!

Moreover, this Nascent Soul was of the Gold Attribute, completely suppressed by the Nine Yang Extreme Flames. After several consecutive punches from Ning Daoran, Huo Canzi’s Nascent Soul was already half melted.

Seeing this, the Nascent Soul was about to be shattered again.

“Island Master Ning, spare me…”

The little person cried out in a youthful voice, “I dare not do it again…”

“Too late!”

Ning Daoran fiercely landed another punch, leaving the Nascent Soul weak and frail.

“My lord…”

At that moment, a voice came from the Storage Bag.

Ning Daoran understood instantly.

Huocanzi made his appearance at the late stage of the Golden Core to catch Ning Daoran. He was a Fallen Nascent Soul, whose damage to the Nascent Soul was not thorough. He cultivated a secret technique that was about to reshape his Nascent Soul, bypassing the Nascent Soul condensation stage and directly obtaining the power of the Nascent Soul Stage. All these meticulous plans were naturally aimed at killing Ning Daoran.

Since Huocanzi appeared just to kill him, there was no need for courtesy.

In the next moment, Ning Daoran directly summoned the Green Ghost Flag.

“Whoosh~~~”

The charming Lady Qingyi appeared in front of him, opening her huge bloody mouth, and in just one bite took half of the Nascent Soul figure, chewed it a few times, and then with another bite, completely consumed the Nascent Soul figure!

“Ah? It’s Lady Qingyi…”

Among the crowd of Xia Country cultivators, an early-stage Golden Core old man nearly broke down in tears!

He came from Qingzhou, once lived in Red Light Town by the Mo River, and had joined the Green Robe Association, becoming a follower of Lady Qingyi and rising to the position of Squad Leader under the Union Leader.

He had seen Lady Qingyi several times and greatly revered her. However, some damned villain later killed Lady Qingyi, and he left the Green Robe Association, reformed and became a mountain cultivator, and cultivated all the way to the Golden Core Stage.

But Lady Qingyi was the unchanging love of his heart…

Now, seeing Lady Qingyi again stirred deep emotions in him.

Meanwhile, he realized the damned villain was actually Island Master Ning, whose origins were from the Qing State Chaos Sect. It all made sense now.

He felt comforted; it was okay that Lady Qingyi was with Island Master Ning, she even had a Nascent Soul to eat…

At this moment, the old slogan of his youth seemed to echo in his ears, “Rectify the Ghost Path, the Green Robe cleanses the world.” Thinking of this made his blood surge with fervor; truly, those were passionate times!

…

“!!!”

Staring at the scene in the array, everyone was dumbstruck.

Originally, figures like Purple Flame Demon Lord and True Monarch Qing Lin planned to stall for time, allowing the newly ascended Huocanzi to have the opportunity to kill Ning Daoran. The arrays that Ning Daoran released were in fact his own prison and grave.

But, unexpectedly, the final outcome was completely different. Ning Daoran, through a mysterious method, caused Huocanzi’s Nascent Soul to “stare blankly” for quite a while, and the numerous Fourth-order Ice Explosion Talismans, which came from nowhere, froze Huocanzi’s Nascent Soul and then a flurry of random punches killed the master.

It was more infuriating that Huocanzi’s Nascent Soul did not get a chance to teleport, and a Late-stage Golden Core evil ghost swallowed Huocanzi’s Nascent Soul in one gulp!

Demon Cultivators in the Cultivation World, who feed evil ghosts, usually use human blood and essence, but he went further, feeding a Nascent Soul cultivator’s Nascent Soul to the evil ghost!

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

After a few moments, many Great Cultivators from Sangyu Country were the first to regain their senses!

“Ning Daoran!”

Purple Flame Demon Lord roared in anger: “You monster, you actually nurtured an evil spirit at your side, even feeding it with Huocanzi’s Nascent Soul, you have fallen into the Demon Path, truly a significant evil, everyone must condemn you!”

“What if I have fallen into the Demon Path?”

Ning Daoran shattered Huocanzi’s physical body with a punch, took the Storage Ring, and also retracted the array formations, saying, “In my Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, is falling into the Demon Path and becoming a Demon Cultivator against the heavenly laws? Purple Flame Demon Lord, don’t forget, you are also from the Demon Path.”

He pointed and said: “Moreover, Soul-devouring Demon is too from the Demon Path…”

“Ah?”

Soul-devouring Demon evasively hid behind the crowd, thinking why there was a mention of him here? He had already retired from many years ago.

…

“Senior Lin.”

Ning Daoran, while packing up and retreating, said sternly, “What’s there to hesitate now? True Monarch Zi Lei has already tilted towards our side, if Sangyu Country doesn’t follow the rules, we shouldn’t either. Aren’t we going to take advantage and strike, kill as many as possible?”

“Don’t worry, Young Friend Ning.”

Lin Tiannan’s lips curled with a smile: “It’s about to start!”

At the moment, Ning Daoran also noticed that True Monarch Liu Yun had vanished!

“Boom~~~”

Suddenly, a mighty array rose from the sea behind Sangyu Country, with the sound of Dragon Roar, it was indeed the White Dragon Sea Splitting Formation set by True Monarch Liu Yun!

“Now if not the time to kill the enemy, when is?!”

Lin Tiannan raised his hand, and the Golden Phoenix Sword was already cleaving through!

True Monarch Qi Xing and Monarch Ling Fu both made their moves, especially Monarch Ling Fu, who was venting her grief and desperation through a desperate fighting style, and the opponent’s several Nascent Souls had to avoid her fierce attacks.

“Swish!”

A stunning figure draped in dark blue cape, wearing armor, appeared in front of Purple Flame Demon Lord, her war saber at the ready, spiritual pressure surged, it was Shen Luoyan.

“Purple Flame Taoist, your Sangyu Country’s conduct is truly reprehensible. Shen Luoyan, although I am the Tower Master of Slaying Immortal Tower and do not interfere with inter-country wars, I still emerged as a cultivator from Xia Country’s Cultivation World. I don’t want to interfere, but I must. However, I won’t make a move, Purple Flame Taoist, let’s just watch from the sidelines.”

“You…”

Purple Flame Demon Lord was seething with hatred.

At this time, people from Xia Country’s Cultivation World united in enmity and swept out!

Even the mediator True Monarch Zi Lei made a move, unleashing stormy winds and lightning sweeping like leaves, shouting, “Sangyu Country, your calculations are exhaustive, even including me in your schemes, today I, Purple Thunder True Monarch, will fight you to the end!”

The reason why this generally good-natured person joined the battle so passionately was simply because Shen Luoyan had hinted a few words to him beforehand.

If True Monarch Zi Lei didn’t clarify his stance, Shen Luoyan would have created trouble for him, as after all, he was one of the top five Gold Medal Killers in the Slaying Immortal Tower!
