The moment the Ice Sun emerged, the whole platform, an area of thousands of meters, was covered with snowflakes.
To Revered Bai, it was extremely difficult to cast this skill, however, its power was spectacular. The trace of Heavenly Might from it suffocated everyone.
The Sun, Moon and Stars were the supreme things of Heaven and Earth. The power of any magical skill that involved these three things would surely be formidable. For instance, although the Ice Sun was a Core Realm Intermediate Grade Magical Skill, it carried a trace of Heavenly Might of sunset. Besides, this was casted by Revered Bai, which meant that there were only a few late Gold Core experts that could withstand this skill!
āIf youāre could block this magical attackā¦ this old man will admit defeatā¦ however, you wonāt!ā Revered Baiās eyes glinted with an icy light. At this moment, there was no desire, intention and thoughts of victory or defeat, only the calmness of glacier in his heart.
However, the serenity was majorly disrupted when he saw Ning Fan leaped into the Ice Sun.
It wasnāt just Bai Feiteng who was astonished, every expert on the audience and the beggar havenāt thought that Ning Fan would dare to use his own flesh to go against the Heavenly Might of sunset!
āThisā¦ this isnāt possibleā¦ This is a skill of Heavenly Mightā¦ how could he fight it using his physique?!ā Bai Feiteng couldnāt help but be astonished.
In response to the mysterious girlās request, Ning Fanās eyes turned resolute. He rushed into the Ice Sun with a flash of Icy Light.
The moment he got in contact with the cold sunlight, his entire body began to freeze at rapid speed, as if he was going to be turned into an ice sculpture the next second. He didnāt even have the chance to use the Sense Defense Art.
Despite that, he still discovered that he had underestimated the might of the Ice Sun. The frightening thing about the Ice Sun wasnāt the ice but the sun!
When the Sun rose and the Moon fell, it was the Heavenly Might. It was a domain where cultivators couldnāt lay a finger on. According to legend, the Sun was defined as a Saint, Moon was defined as an Emperor and Stars were defined as Fiendgod.
In the Ice Sun, Ning Fan wasnāt flustered. Even if he cast the Sense Defense Art now, he still wouldnāt be able to defend against the Ice Sun, but he still had one way ā summoning the half-step Nascent Soul Soul Incarnation to break the sun!
However, before doing so, perhaps the mysterious girl would suck away the Purple Loathe Ice Frost, destroying 90% of the might of the Ice Sun.
āIf you donāt absorb the frosty cold Qi, Iām going to destroy the sun.ā Ning Fan said flatly.
āEnā¦ I will impart a chant to you. By using this chant, you can defend against the power of the True Sun. Treat this as a reward for helping sisterā¦ but, donāt you pass this chant to someone elseā¦or elseā¦ā The mysterious girl sounded hesitant.
āI wonāt.ā Ning Fanās tone was indifferent, but there was a slight urgency in it.
The longer he stayed in the frost, the more his body would be corroded by the magical power of the Ice Sun. And even if he used the Soul Incarnation, he might not be able to destroy the Ice Sun entirely.
āEnā¦ Listen closely!:Ā āThereās a fish in the Northern Sea named Yue Kun. Thereās a Saint in the Northern Sea named Hun Kun. Thereās a sun in the Northern Sea named Yin Rong and thereās a thunder in the Northern Sea named Lei Tongā¦'ā
The girl suddenly stopped as she didnāt know the rest of the chant. This was a chant that she had only gotten by accident.
After listening to this chant, Ning Fanās facial expression changed a little. His heart started to recite the chant. Although it only had four sentences, the irresistible corroding force of the Ice Sun turned into a gentle and harmless breeze. And slowly, it was being devoured by Ning Fan.
That trace of corroding force was named as the power of the True Sun. It was a forbidden force that Ning Fan or even the Divine Sovereign of Rain Immortal World couldnāt touch.
Because Ning Fanās realm was still sufficiently strong, the strand of insignificant force left without a trace. Despite that, it had left behind a mark in Ning Fanās mental state, enlightening him a little more about the sunset, but he still couldnāt see through what was behind it.
What surprised Ning Fan the most was that the silent Eastern Ocean Bell in his storage pouch gave out a sound. A clear sound of bell reverberated back and forth in Ning Fanās mind!
āEastern Oceanā¦ Northern Oceanā¦ this bell probably has some relation with the Northern Sea said in the chantā¦āĀ Ning Fan was guessing in his heart, but he knew that this wasnāt something a Harmonious Spirit could solve.
After realizing the abstruse mystery of the chant and the profound principle of the Eastern Ocean Bell, he couldnāt help admitting for the first time that the Eastern Ocean Bell was exceptional!
For no reason, his mind was thinking about the half-black and half-white enormous sun that emerged in the Profound Yin World of Yin Yang Locket.
The power of the Ice Sun couldnāt hurt Ning Fan anymore. The female inside the Locket took the chance to cast some kind of magical technique, and began to devour the fourth grade cold Qi of the Ice Sun ā the Purple Loathe Ice Frost ā into the locket. Using such a technique would surely consume a tremendous amount of her energy, but it seemed like the Purple Loathe Ice Frost was more important than that.
Ning Fan, on the other hand wasnāt just standing idly in the Ice Sun. He closed his eyes and started to have an understanding in his heart.
The understanding was about his Heartās Devil. As he was enshrouded by Heavenly Might, the Heartās Devil inside of him became particularly obvious. He vaguely saw an extremely cold and gloomy corner in the depths of his heart. From there, he could see his sufferings during childhood, the helplessness, despair and hatred when he was imprisoned in All Pleasures Sect, and the madness when he was overturning the Heaven Separation Sect.
All his negative emotions had collected in that corner and formed the Heartās Devil, however, he knew his true Heartās Devil was more than this. Compared to all the negative emotions, the scariest of all was sentiment.
To be a Gold Core cultivator, one needed to eliminate sentiment. Which was why many crafty old experts would never find a Daoist Partner and fall in love before reaching the Gold Core realm. In this way, their hearts wouldnāt have a trace of sentiment, making them solely focus on dealing with their negative emotions when they were slashing their Heartās Devil.
As their hearts lacked struggles, slashing their Heartās Devil didnāt create much impact on them. But because they lacked sentiment, their advancement in Gold Core realm became extremely difficult.
However, if there were options, Ning Fan would choose not knowing Zhi He and the others girls before he hit the Gold Core realm. He would choose not to have a true and sincere feelings inside of him. Although his breakthrough in later stages would be slow, it was still better than slashing away the affection and sentiment he had for Zhi He and the other girls.
Unfortunately, he had no other choice. In order to break the Gold Core, he had to cut off all of his past with the girls.
āCan I do itā¦?ā
At this point, Ning Fan opened his eyes abruptly and saw the imaginary Ice Sun struggling.
If he didnāt break the Gold Core, he would die the moment Moksha Emperor returned a hundred years later.
Slashing the Heartās Devil would mean forgetting Zhi He and the other girls. In other words, all these girls whom he claimed to love would all become his cauldrons. Then, what was the warmth that Ning Fan was so eager to protect from Moksha Sovereignā¦?
His heart was struggling. The harder the struggle, the greater the Gold Core Heartās Devil that he was going to confront!
While he was lost in his struggle, a very vast Qi soared from his body towards the sky and formed a tribulation cloud. No doubt, this was the omen of initiating heavenly tribulation and breaking through to the Gold Core realm!
In a flash, the blankness on Ning Fanās face was swept away, restoring to his usual calmness. He was shocked. He almost initiated the tribulation and slashed his Heartās Devil and break the Gold Core at this time!
Putting its success rate aside, even if he was in seclusion, he would need at least a decade of comprehension. Originally, he planned to go to the Lost World Palace to cultivate, because that place could slow down time, shortening the ten years of time to only a few.
His forehead was beaded with cold sweat. After brushing off everything about the Heartās Devil, the tribulation cloud in the sky disappeared.
It was just that Ning Fan didnāt know that the scene of tribulation cloud triggered by his Heartās Devil had turned the whole scene silent!
Ning Fan was still alive even after thrusting into the Ice Sun! And he had used some unknown skill to initiate the Gold Core heavenly tribulation while still being inside the Ice Sun!
However, he was wise to disperse the heavenly tribulation in time. After all, the Purple Jade Sky Platform had very little spiritual Qi, making it extremely difficult to cultivate here.
Yue Kun ā A legendary giant fish.
Hun Kun ā Also known as Master Hun Kun. He was a pioneer in Daoism.

Revered Ning!

The reason the old experts were shocked wasnāt because of Ning Fanās ability to initiate the heavenly tribulation, but his speed of cultivation. It was too fast!
Before entering the sect, he was merely an intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert. After being in Demon Sinister Forest for a month, he broke through to the late Harmonious Spirit realm, and half a year later, he advanced to the peak of Harmonious Spirit realm. Moreover, he had found his Heartās Devil during battle and could overcome the tribulation at any time and form his gold core!
This speed was way too fastā¦ A middle-aged Gold Core expert would be born in Yue Country?! Thisā¦ this was undeniably monstrous!
All the old monsters with profound cultivation base like Gui Qiaozi (Sinister Sparrow), Elder Song Feng and the beggar could vaguely discern the struggle in Ning Fanās heart as it swayed away. Gui Qiaozi, the one who had a deep understanding of Ning Fan, let out a gentle sigh.
He understood why Ning Fan struggled. It was because this kid had too many beauty fetters. Would he choose to forget all of themā¦?
Because of this struggle, he would become a matchless expert after he broke through to the Golden Core realm and his cultivation would advance at a tremendous paceā¦ but what would he choose? Would he choose to form the core?
A hint of shame was plastered on Gui Qiaoziās face, because not even him had any emotional debt before his core formation. He only started to have feelings for Lan Meiās mother after his core was formed. He wouldnāt dare scrape away his sentiments.
Bai Feitengās face turned gloomy once more and within the gloominess, there was fear.
The fall of the Ice Sun didnāt cause any harm to Ning Fan. Conversely, it had expedited the process of Ning Fanās core formation, making him understand his Heartās Devil entirely.
A while later, Bai Feitengās gaze trembled. He discovered that the Ice Sun was turning illusory and even disintegrating!
āHow could this beā¦? The Ice Sun is a heavenly might!ā
Bai Feiteng retreated two steps and regained his balance. He then launched several magical seals into the Ice Sun, attempting to stabilize it, however, his eyes immediately narrowed in horror.
A small cloud of black fire began to spread in the Ice Sun, incinerating the cold Qi in all directions.
āBreak!ā
A youthās voice sounded from the Ice Sun, and immediately, the whole huge and shocking sun disintegrated. A youth inside was holding a black fire of dragon. His eyes and body were covered with frost. With a point of his finger, the Ice Sun was destroyed.
āItās finishedā¦ā
The youth spoke flatly. A black light flashed past his eyes. With another point of his finger, the rolling black fire in his hand turned into a sea of fire that spread across, immediately turning into a black whirlpool and caught Revered Bai!
Countless of old monsters rose upright from their seats, staring at the black flames in disbelief.
According to their knowledge, this flame belonged to Revered Alchemist Han. Even if he was only at the Harmonious Spirit realm, this flame made him one of the top ten figures of Yue Country!
Even though everyone knew that Ning Fan was Old Monster Hanās disciple, no one knew that the old monster imparted this flame to Ning Fan!
āEarth Vein Demonic Fireā¦ When this fire is used, not even a fourth grade cold Qi is a match for it. There is no more suspense in this battleā¦ā Elder Song Fengās eyes revealed astonishment. He could not believe that he was watching an old opponent of his being defeated by a youth, but this was the fact.
This youth is too powerful. It would be absurd if he couldnāt win against Revered Bai!
āNo, I wonāt lose! I still have the Profound Heavy Armorā¦ā Bai Feitengās eyes were brimming with madness. All of his magical strength had been channeled into the armor to defend against Ning Fanās black flames.
A sizzling sound was heard from the armor as though it was having difficulty in resisting the power of the black flames, but eventually, the flames were blocked.
But at this moment, Ning Fan casted a spell and shouted!
āDragon Vortex Fire, First Revolution!ā
In an instant, the whirlpool of flames revolved fiercely, causing the armor to produce a sizzling sound once more. Lines of fractures began to form in it.
āYou canāt break!ā Bai Feiteng fished out more than a dozen Core Level (Realm) talisman and plastered them violently on the Profound Heavy Armor. Screens of light were created in the sea of fire, turning into lines of defense.
In this way, the Profound Heavy Armor was able to hold the might of the first revolution of the Dragon Vortex Fire, but almost instantly, the second revolution had been struck out!
āDragon Vortex Fire, Second Revolution!ā
The color of the flames became darker. Bai Feitengās beard and hair began to burn.
The cracks in the armor spread once more. It wasnāt far away from breaking apart.
āThis old man has already said it, you canāt break this!ā Revered Bai went insane. He patted his storage pouch and took out a secret bottle of pills that could enhance oneās magical strength.
He started to feel the distending pain in his meridians, and his magical power was once again boosted. He then channeled the magical power into the heavy armor to strengthen its defense and to block Ning Fanās Second Revolution of Dragon Fire.
If it was an early Gold Core cultivator who confronted the Second Revolution of Dragon Fire, he would just be wounded severely, but when the dragon fire was assisted by the Black Demon Flame, its power became more incredible!
All the coldness on the scene had been swept away and was replaced by a scorching heat. Each and every old monster were fixing their eyes at the dragon fire technique. Their facial expressions displayed astonishment.
Plenty of them had admitted that they wouldnāt be able to withstand such a fire, however, despite Bai Feitengās severe injuries, he was still able to defend himself and this complicated the situation.
āThe Second Revolution isnāt enoughā¦ unless this kid can cast the Third Revolutionā¦ but not even the tyrannical Old Monster Han could cast such a fireā¦ā The head of the Flying Swallow Sect, Xu Fei, a Gold Core old expert who had been bullied by the Old Monster, sighed deeply.
He wouldnāt be able to cast out the Third Revolution fire.
Xu Feiās remark put many old monsters in contemplation. Ning Fan had expended a lot of his magical strength. If he couldnāt break Revered Baiās lines of defense, this match would be a draw.
āA tieā¦ if this is the case, lesser money will be won. Forget itā¦as long as Revered Bai doesnāt lose this match, all of my fortune wonāt be wasted.ā
Some of the old experts were thinking about their bets. Everyone had already eliminated the possibility that Revered Bai would win. What they anticipated was for Revered Bai to tie with Ning Fan in this match.
However, these people were destined to be disappointed, Ning Fan had altered his spell once more!
āDragon Vortex Fire, Third Revolution! Snap him, Black Dragon!ā
Coldness glowed in Ning Fanās eyes. The swirl of flames surged. In the innermost of the whirlpool, the flames condensed and formed a humongous head of a dragon and bit on Revered Baiās shoulder, ripping away a big chunk of the heavy amour along with a piece of flesh!
āArgh!ā
Revered Bai wailed, but the pain in his shoulder aroused his ruthlessness.
He fished out pieces of magical treasures, more than a dozen of them. Each of them were Intermediate Grade and extremely precious.
But at this moment, he had already completely forgotten about victory or defeat, gamble, everything. The only thought left in his mind was to block Ning Fanās attack so that he could protect his own face!
āBreak! Break! Break!ā
Each magical treasure was detonated frantically by Revered Bai. The power of the explosion had created an opening in the heavy sea of fire. Revered Bai covered his injured shoulder, took advantage of the situation and rushed out of the flaming whirlpool. All of his hair and beard were seared off. His Profound Heavy Armor was full of cracks. He was totally in a state of discomfiture.
At least, he had survived Ning Fanās Third Revolution Dragon Fire!
āFinallyā¦ finally itās a drawā¦ in this way, I wonāt lose my faceā¦ā He no longer had the thought of victory in his mind as he was no match for Ning Fan.
The persistence of Revered Bai made Ning Fan understand that this old expert wasnāt as vulnerable as Sister Bing Ling and Yue Ling, but was molded and shaped out of the sea of blood. There were innumerable old experts like him and Ning Fan definitely couldnāt underestimate them!
āIce Rain Technique!ā
Ning Fanās magical strength was almost depleted. With a bend of his finger, he casted his last skill ā the First Grade Ice Rain Technique.
Numerous old monsters treated this as an insignificant technique, and Revered Bai wasnāt exception. He panted, gazed at the icy spikes and smiled coldly.
āThe match is tiedā¦ this ice rain wonāt harm meā¦ā
Every spike of the ice stabbed on the metal armor. With the Profound Heavy Armor, none of the icy spikes could get through the iron shell.
But due to the cold Qi in the spikes, frost was spread all over the armor and it broke apart without a warning!
The remaining ice spikes stabbed into Revered Baiās vulnerable body, causing his body to be badly mutilated. Of course, Ning Fan avoided the vital spots.
He had already said that he wouldnāt kill Revered Bai, but only to injure him severely!
āWhat-what?! Revered Bai could even withstood the Third Revolution Dragon Fire, but why was he defeated by this Ice Rain Technique? This-this!ā Each and every old monster was gaping at the scene with shock. They were shocked as to why an Immortal Vein was able to cast out two different attributes of magical techniques.
To cast the Dragon Vortex Fire, Ning Fan must have at least a Fire Vein.
As for the Ice Rain Technique, although it was merely low grade, Ning Fan would need an Ice Vein to launch this strike.
A Double Spirit Cultivator!
those who figured this out was gazing at Ning Fan in disbelief. It seemed like they had already found the answer as to why Ning Fan could cultivate so quickly.
A Double Spirit Cultivator with monstrous talent!
āYouā¦youā¦ā Revered Baiās tone was very soft. He wanted very badly to die right now. Staying alive after this defeat means that he would be sneered by countless experts, which to him, was worse than death, he was a man of dignity.
āYou lost because you have underestimated meā¦ the name Revered Bai made you become used to the sense of superiority, forgetting that there are people even stronger than you outside. The cultivation world is very huge. You and I arenāt the strongest, not even those high and mighty Void Fragmentation old monsters.ā
While he was speaking, he darted a glance at the beggar unnoticeably.
āDonāt provoke me again, or elseā¦ā
Without a second word, he turned and headed to the center of the platform. His eyes swept through all the guests indifferently. Under his stifling gaze, not even the Gold Core old experts dared to sound a word.
This kid isnāt just the number one expert below Gold Core realmā¦ Even among the Gold Core experts, there were only few who could defeat him!
āFrom today onwards, there would be no more Revered Bai in Sinister Sparrow Sect, but only me, Revered Ning!ā
The youngest revered devil in the history of Sinister Sparrow Sect, Revered Ning was born today! He would enjoy the sect-master-level of treatment from now on!
