Chapter 487: Ning Zhuo Seizes Fortune

Random Recommendation:

In truth, Ning Jiufan had long since returned to the vicinity of Fiery Persimmon Mountain.Yet, following Lin Bufan's suggestion, he did not return to his family but concealed himself locally, thus delaying Meng's scheme.Now, Meng had dispatched a swift message.Ning Jiufan soon received this missive."Meng can't sit still. He's finally urging me to meet and deal with the Myriad Year Fire Essence." Ning Jiufan exhaled a turbid breath, slowly rising to his feet.He gazed upon the distant Fiery Persimmon Mountain, his expression solemn, knowing that this hunt for the Myriad Year Fire Essence would be a tremendous challenge!The true difficulty of this challenge was not the Myriad Year Fire Essence itself, nor was it the task of "围堵捕杀万年火精的同时顾及火柿仙城的城民" (simultaneously cornering and killing the Myriad Year Fire Essence while considering the citizens of Fiery Persimmon Immortal City). It was Meng.The struggle between the Meng and Zhu families over Fiery Persimmon Immortal City, while the Molten Lava Immortal Palace had formally changed hands, had entered a new phase.Through Zhu Xuanji's efforts, the Zhu family had successfully courted the Zhou and Ning families, using these two great cultivation families as anchors to try and curb the Meng family's encroachment.Under normal circumstances, Meng would not easily target these two families. However, at this moment, using the Myriad Year Fire Essence as a pretext to strike at them was almost inevitable.Thick smoke billowed from the mouth of Fiery Persimmon Mountain, with scorching lava occasionally erupting.Within Fiery Persimmon Mountain, the Molten Lava Immortal Palace.Meng sat cross-legged on the throne of the immortal palace, his gaze like a torch, penetrating the void, passing through layers of mountain and lava, observing the battlefield in the middle of the volcano.The battlefield had been properly arranged.The two Golden Core ancestors of the Zhou family were already in position.Meng transmitted a divine sense message, his tone icy: "Ning Jiufan has lingered, his sloth clearly evident. After this battle, I shall settle accounts with him.Now, time waits for no one. Let the battle commence."The two Golden Cores of the Zhou family wore solemn expressions, simultaneously responding and accepting the command.Although they had both pledged allegiance to the Zhu family, concerning the safety and survival of Fiery Persimmon Immortal City, as Golden Core cultivators and residents of Fiery Persimmon Immortal City, they had to step forward and contribute their strength.Since the Zhou family occupied many resources and enjoyed many privileges within Fiery Persimmon Immortal City, it was natural that they should bear responsibility in such matters.This was the rule of the righteous path."Rise," Meng lightly commanded, formally activating the great formation.This great formation was meticulously assembled bit by bit by him and the two Golden Core ancestors of the Zhou family over the past period. This careful approach was to prevent startling the Myriad Year Fire Essence prematurely and allowing it to escape into the depths of the earth.The advantage of doing so became evident in the next moment.The Myriad Year Fire Essence floated and sank leisurely in the lava, suddenly trapped by the great formation.It immediately realized it had been ambushed, and fierce flames instantly ignited around its body, its eyes revealing scorching fury.The great formation activated, unleashing its power, forming chains of lightning that swiftly and accurately captured the Myriad Year Fire Essence.The Myriad Year Fire Essence's form became sluggish, continuously flashing with electric light.It roared with extreme rage, struggling desperately to break free, but the great formation immediately increased its spiritual power, causing the electric light to expand and become dazzlingly bright.It continued to hold the Myriad Year Fire Essence in place.Subsequently, the two Golden Cores of the Zhou family manipulated a portion of the formation's power, causing transformations.Innumerable talismans, like fireflies filling the sky, from small to large, covered the surface of the Myriad Year Fire Essence's body.As more and more of these talismans accumulated, the roars of the Myriad Year Fire Essence, the flames burning around its body, and its physical size all began to rapidly diminish.Divine ability: Sleeve Universe.Meng seized the opportunity, slowly extending his arm. His wide sleeve rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive black hole, emanating a violent suction force.The dark sleeve sucked the Myriad Year Fire Essence within.The sleeve quickly shrank, but midway, a line of fire suddenly shot out. Immediately, four or five lines of fire burned through the sleeve, flying out.These lines of fire condensed in mid-air, once again forming the vaguely humanoid Myriad Year Fire Essence.The Myriad Year Fire Essence roared, and instantly, monstrous flames erupted within the formation. At the same time, rolling lava surged up, attempting to engulf everything.The great formation was severely affected, many formation nodes collapsing one after another.Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Second Ancestor of the Zhou family, a Golden Core, quickly manipulated the formation, sending out a large number of hand seals, temporarily stabilizing the great formation.The Myriad Year Fire Essence stirred up a sky full of lava and hot flames, its offensive becoming increasingly fierce.The Second Ancestor of the Zhou family gradually found it difficult to hold on, his aura becoming increasingly disordered.The Myriad Year Fire Essence suddenly vanished."Where did it go?""Be careful, it's using the gaps in the formation to drill towards you!"The two Golden Cores of the Zhou family urgently communicated.The Myriad Year Fire Essence was incredibly fast, transforming into a line of fire and wrapping around Zhou Nongying.Zhou Nongying had received a warning in the previous moment, erecting a defense at the critical juncture. If he had been a bit slower, he would have been injured even if not killed!However, soon, his expression changed.This was because he discovered that the Myriad Year Fire Essence had not been completely blocked by him. Countless tiny lines of fire were rapidly infiltrating his defense, attempting to burrow into his body!"Zhou Nongying, hold on!" the other Golden Core ancestor of the Zhou family shouted with all his might, his voice carrying a hint of tremor.He desperately wanted to act but was also worried about endangering Zhou Nongying's life, temporarily finding himself in a difficult and awkward predicament."May I offer a hand?" At this critical moment, Ning Jiufan's voice suddenly arrived.The two Golden Cores of the Zhou family were immediately overjoyed. They both knew that Ning Jiufan possessed a magic treasure, perfectly suited to resolve the current difficulty.Meng's expression was cold, but he did not immediately activate the formation, instead fixing his gaze on Lin Bufan.Ning Jiufan immediately offered an explanation.Although he very much wanted Lin Bufan to continue his ambush, doing so carried too great a hidden danger.Without Ning Jiufan's introduction, which was essentially an endorsement, Meng could intercept Lin Bufan outside the formation, and might even attack the latter.After all, according to normal practice, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, when entering another Nascent Soul cultivator's territory, one should send a swift message in advance.Lin Bufan's sudden appearance was an offense, even a provocation, to Meng!After hearing Ning Jiufan's introduction, Meng said to Lin Bufan: "Fellow Daoist Lin is truly remarkably warm-hearted. However, little do you know that often, good intentions lead to bad outcomes."Lin Bufan smiled slightly, retorting pointedly: "Observing Fellow Daoist Meng's divine ability just now allowed the Myriad Year Fire Essence to escape. Although I am merely passing by, as a person of the righteous path, with a benevolent heart, I truly do not wish the people of Molten Lava Immortal City to suffer catastrophe."Meng: ———As a sect leader, Lin Bufan managed the Myriad Medicine Sect with great success and prosperity. In terms of linguistic sharpness, he was naturally no less capable than others.Ultimately, Meng smiled slightly, expressing his immediate gratitude for Lin Bufan's assistance.He opened the formation, allowing Ning Jiufan and Lin Bufan to enter.Seeing the arrival of the two powerful reinforcements, the two Golden Cores of the Zhou family were naturally overjoyed."Fellow Daoist Ning, you've finally arrived!"Ning Jiufan replied: "Seeking powerful reinforcements delayed me somewhat. I ask for the two fellow daoists' forgiveness.""No blame, no blame!""Say less, help me with this crisis first." Zhou Nongying couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing the lines of fire continuously infiltrating, he became somewhat anxious."I'm coming." Ning Jiufan laughed heartily, taking out the Ice Heart Jade Pot, opening its mouth, and aiming it at Zhou Nongying.In the next moment, a cold current flew out from the mouth of the pot, enveloping Zhou Nongying's entire body, then transforming into a block of profound ice. Zhou Nongying was frozen in the center of the ice block, his injuries rapidly recovering.At the same time, the bone-chilling cold of the ice block continuously harmed the Myriad Year Fire Essence.Unable to tolerate it, the Myriad Year Fire Essence had to re-condense into a whole, transforming into a vague humanoid form, melting through the ice block, and escaping.Zhou Nongying was thus rescued.The Myriad Year Fire Essence then transferred its hatred onto Ning Jiufan.It was extremely fast, transforming into a fiery light in the air, and directly lunged at Ning Jiufan.Ning Jiufan retreated in panic, shouting: "Granny Yuan, save me!"In the next moment, an ancient Fire Melt Demon Ape suddenly appeared. Reaching out its hand, seemingly slow but actually fast, it actually grabbed the line of fire with its bare hand.The Myriad Year Fire Essence immediately changed its form, clinging to Granny Yuan, and began to scorch her.But this time, the Myriad Year Fire Essence's repeated tactic was not as effective as before when dealing with Zhou Nongying.On one hand, Granny Yuan was, after all, at the Nascent Soul level. On the other hand, Granny Yuan herself was a Fire Melt Demon Ape. This type of demon beast lived deep within volcanoes year-round, famous for taking lava baths.Seeing Granny Yuan and the Myriad Year Fire Essence entangled, Lin Bufan immediately acted, activating a spell, forming woven vines, wrapping around Granny Yuan, and also around the Myriad Year Fire Essence."We'll lend you a hand!" The two Golden Cores of the Zhou family were greatly pleased, quickly urging the great formation and actively cooperating with Lin Bufan.Witnessing this scene, Meng slowly closed his eyes, beginning to employ profound methods.As soon as he made his move, Shen Lingshu outside Fiery Persimmon Mountain immediately sensed it.Shen Lingshu suddenly raised her head, looking towards the direction of the volcano mouth: "Meng has made his move."Zhu Xuanji also became vigilant: "Indeed. Meng is not good at confronting Ning Jiufan head-on. It's highly probable he's using this method to secretly harm Ning Jiufan's fate and fortune.""Ning Jiufan is in the midst of a fierce battle. As soon as his fate and fortune weaken, there will be a clear reaction.""It's just that I don't know what specific spell he's using?"Spell: Frost Lock Fate!In the depths of Meng's eyes, Ning Jiufan's figure appeared. Ning Jiufan's fate and fortune, under the effect of the spell, were no longer nimble, as if covered in a layer of frost, about to be frozen to death.Ning Jiufan's luck plummeted, and it quickly reflected on the battlefield, putting him in a huge crisis.In Liangzhu Nation, near蒼林仙城.The demonic cultivator elder took a deep breath. The blood-red spiritual pearl between his eyebrows was wide open, constantly observing Ning Zhuo's fate and fortune.Ning Zhuo's fate and fortune were descending."It's descending, hahaha!""It seems Ning Zhuo used some forbidden technique earlier to temporarily boost his fate and fortune.""The time for the decisive battle has arrived."The demonic cultivator elder roared, mobilizing all his strength, and fiercely attacked Ning Zhuo's fate and fortune.In the ethereal realm, the demonic cultivator elder seemed to hear a roar.The Three-Line Qi Breaking Minor Curse successfully struck the fate and fortune of the left arm. In an instant, the fate and fortune were indeed scattered by more than half, but then a wave of frost solidified and froze the fate and fortune again.Demonic cultivator elder: ?!In Nandou Nation, Molten Lava Immortal City.Meng: "Hmm?!"His expression changed instantly.In the depths of his eyes, Ning Jiufan's fate and fortune, which was about to be frozen to death, suddenly shook violently, and a large amount of frost was thus shaken off."What kind of method is this?"Meng couldn't discern it for a moment, but he understood that such a level of "protection" was rare, at least at the Nascent Soul level."So, Ning Jiufan possesses a Nascent Soul level fate and fortune protection treasure?"Meng was unwilling to fail and cast the Frost Lock Fate spell again.The demonic cultivator elder was unwilling to fail and continued to activate the Three-Line Qi Breaking Minor Curse.Both of them: "Hmm?!"There was still an effect.Ning Jiufan's fate and fortune were indeed significantly frozen and extinguished. And on the other side, Ning Zhuo's fate and fortune were indeed scattered by a considerable amount.Meng was unwilling to fail and cast the Frost Lock Fate spell yet again.The demonic cultivator elder was unwilling to fail and still continued to activate the Three-Line Qi Breaking Minor Curse.Both of them: Ai Hai?!The results were indeed more significant.Ning Jiufan's fate and fortune continued to decline, and Ning Zhuo's fate and fortune were scattered even more.Meng was gasping for breath.Blood began to flow from the seven orifices of the demonic cultivator elder.Frost Lock Fate spell!Meng was panting like an ox, his face pale.Blood was seeping from all the pores on the demonic cultivator elder's body.Frost Lock Fate spell!!Meng's eyes were somewhat unfocused.Blood was gushing from the demonic cultivator elder's ears and nose, flowing endlessly.Frost Lock Fate spell!!!Meng felt dizzy and faint, with spells of darkness before his eyes.The demonic cultivator elder had become a bloodied figure, his face like golden paper, teetering on the verge of collapse."This Ning Jiufan (Ning Zhuo) is stronger than expected. He's quite capable!" The two Nascent Soul cultivators, far away in different places, had a telepathic connection at this moment, producing the same thought.And Shen Lingshu, who was watching the battle, also showed a look of surprise and doubt: "I didn't expect this Ning Jiufan's fate and fortune foundation to be so profound. Just now, Meng cast fate and fortune spells repeatedly, time and time again. Ning Jiufan actually endured it,It's quite remarkable."Zhu Xuanji couldn't see this, but hearing Shen Lingshu's exclamation, he also sighed: "The Ning family still has some foundation. As expected of the powerful magnate of the North."His impression of the Ning family remained good from beginning to end.Meng couldn't help but roll his eyes.He decisively stopped using this spell and secretly felt uneasy and puzzled: "Strange, why was I so single-mindedly using only the Frost Lock Fate spell just now?""Perhaps if I switch to a different spell, I might achieve better results!"Near Canglin Immortal City.The demonic cultivator elder knelt on the ground, a huge pool of blood already beneath him.He clenched his teeth tightly, constantly struggling to persevere."No!""I cannot faint. If I collapse, under the effect of the great curse, Xiao Liu's fate and fortune will be seized by this villain Ning Zhuo!""Is the great cause of rebuilding the demon kingdom going to be ruined by me?""Absolutely not—""I must persevere. I still have one last strike.""Three, Three-Line Qi Breaking, Qi—"This time, without Meng's counter-attack, the demonic cultivator elder very smoothly scattered Ning Zhuo's fate and fortune."Success!"In an instant, ecstasy filled the demonic cultivator elder's heart."I've won! So, he was also at the end of his rope. The previous perseverance was all worth it. It was allIn the next moment, a magnificent light suddenly erupted.Within the radiance, Ning Zhuo's scattered fate and fortune re-condensed and solidified in an instant.My Buddha Heart Demon Seal was finally triggered at this moment, suppressing fate and fortune!The demonic cultivator elder's eyes widened, and he shouted: "No—!"Enduring the intense pain and disappointment, he was about to continue to squeeze his strength.Nandou Nation, Fiery Persimmon Mountain."The time has come!" Shen Lingshu took out her cloth bag, opened it directly, and returned a large amount of fate and fortune to Ning Jiufan. In an instant, Ning Jiufan's fate and fortune surged!Another spell that Meng had urged forth felt like hitting his head against an anvil, causing him to gasp in pain. There was a thread of life connecting Ning Jiufan and Ning Zhuo. Ning Zhuo's fate and fortune also surged accordingly.This immediately claimed the demonic cultivator elder's life!He was struck and killed, transforming into a cloud of smoke, which quickly dissipated on the spot.Without his support, Ning Zhuo expanded slightly. The fate and fortune of his left arm, which had become strong again, fiercely grabbed the earthy yellow heart.Ai ai ai...The monkey face on the heart screamed incessantly, its cries miserable, panicked, fearful, and also extremely angry.With a light sound, the left arm fiercely crushed the monkey face's earthy yellow heart and absorbed it completely!
