Grasping Evil Chapter 532 - The End of Bone Sovereign!

Chapter 532: Chapter 532: The End of Bone Sovereign!

(Unedited)
The fire cauldron that Giant Zhi Huo summoned was transformed by the heavenly tribulation flames. Thus, its power was extraordinary.
Each spark of flames contained an ancient rune, making it difficult even for Bone Sovereign to tear the cauldron apart and escape alive!
In the critical moment between life and death, Bone Sovereign’s right eye shot out a blood-red lightning ray. It was an intent realm power called the Absolute Realm. It was a power that Bone Sovereign learned from his past encounters with the heavenly tribulations and it contained a power equivalent to the heavenly tribulation!
When the heavenly tribulation lightning and the heavenly tribulation flames clashed, the pill cauldron broke with a loud bang. The remaining red lightning of the Absolute Realm instantly struck the Giant Zhi Huo, inflicting serious damage to the latter!
*Bang*
As the pill cauldron was broken, Bone Sovereign finally got out alive. However, he had suffered an extremely severe injury and his cultivation base regressed once more, causing him to be left with only the Void Pierce Stage power.
He could no longer maintain his giant form and already returned to the appearance of a young man in grey robes.
As for Giant Zhi Huo, nearly half of his puppet body was destroyed after receiving Bone Sovereign’s Absolute Realm power head-on. It was evident to see how powerful Bone Sovereign’s attack was!
Giant Huo’s cultivation base was at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm and he rarely had an opponent among experts at the same level as him.
Bone Sovereign, however, was once an expert at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. Even if his cultivation base had fallen to the same level as Giant Zhi Huo, his strength was slightly stronger than the latter!
After taking an attack from Bone Sovereign, the giant already could not continue fighting anymore, unless it was fully repaired.
Even so, Bone Sovereign’s eyes still contained deep astonishment!
“I understand now. That Void Fragmentation Realm puppet of yours is the Dao Guardian that controls the heavenly tribulations! You’re a madman to actually capture a Dao Guardian and turn it into your puppet. You’ve thoroughly offended the First Ring Heavenly Dao of the Nine Worlds in the mortal realm!”
Ning Fan did not care about what Bone Sovereign said. He just glanced at Giant Zhi Huo who was severely damaged and let out a faint sigh.
Bone Sovereign was not an ordinary person. When he was in his best condition, he was an expert at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm who was comparable to Moksha Sovereign.
It was already rare for Giant Zhi Huo to successfully weaken Bone Sovereign’s cultivation base. Since it could no longer be used at the moment, Ning Fan would keep it first and repair it later to use it in the future.
Faced with Bone Sovereign whose cultivation base had fallen to the Void Pierce Stage, there was no need for Giant Zhi Huo to act as Ning Fan alone already sufficed!
After making a flick of his sleeve, Ning Fan turned the giant into a tiny figurine and kept it in his pouch.
Then, he summoned his Eight Black Burning Wings and touched his glabella to draw his Separation Slayer Sword.
He dashed straight toward Bone Sovereign in a flicker of travelling light and swung his sword in the plainest style.
“Strength!”
The sword light went straight at Bone Sovereign’s forehead carrying a massive force that could overturn mountains and fill up oceans!
Bone Sovereign raised his fist and threw a punch at the sword light. His punch also carried a vast force that could break mountains.
When Ning Fan’s sword light and Bone Sovereign’s punch collided, both of them shattered.
However, the moment the sword light was neutralized, it abruptly shot out countless hidden black fishing lines.
It was just like what Fang Si did during their fight on that day – hiding the black fishing lines within his magic technique.
The black fishing lines gave out a qi that would instill anyone with fear. Bone Sovereign did not dare to underestimate them at all as he instantly retreated ten thousand li* (500m per li) backward. However, his right arm was still punctured by the fishing lines.
All of a sudden, the life force of his right arm was completely drained as Death Qi completely engulfed it, rendering it to disintegrate into ashes suddenly!
“Ah!”
Bone Sovereign let out a cry of pain. He already lost his right arm within seconds.
He held his broken arm and looked at Ning Fan with terror in his eyes. He did not expect that Ning Fan would actually know the mysterious fishing lines technique that could erode everything aside from the Void Ignition Technique.
As a Void Fragmentation Realm sovereign being, he had extremely high pride in himself. Even so, he had to admit that he definitely was not Ning Fan’s opponent in his current condition!
If he makes a careless mistake, he, a dignified expert at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, would die in Ning Fan’s hands today!
“Absolute Realm!”
Bone Sovereign’s right eye shot out a blood-red tribulation lightning which multiplied into one million rays and attacked Ning Fan.
Ning Fan instantly made a stomp in midair and a massive Tai Su Lightning Diagram emerged beneath him. The diagram took in seventy percent of the tribulation lightning from Bone Sovereign. At the same time, Ning Fan spread out his sword sense to eliminate the remaining thirty percent of Bone Sovereign’s Absolute Realm tribulation lightning.
Ning Fan certainly could not withstand those tribulation lightning rays if Bone Sovereign were to use it on him when he was at his peak.
However, when Bone Sovereign, who was currently at the Void Pierce Stage, used that ability, it was nothing scary.
After cancelling Bone Sovereign’s Absolute Realm attack, he did not take it easy at all.
It was because there was also a secret trump card of Bone Sovereign coming after that Absolute Realm attack.
There was a weapon hidden behind that Absolute Realm attack and it was going to sneak attack Ning Fan.
That was a golden pen that was covered in flames and frost!
As the golden pen moved, it drew a golden rune in the air which was also surrounded with flames and ice.
Ning Fan had no idea what pen it was nor what rune was that.
That golden rune then became ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) large and fell directly on Ning Fan’s head.
The aura force from the golden rune alone could make Ning Fan’s magic power stagnant, making him difficult to breathe. He also lost the ability to move his body as it seemed to have been nailed to the sky.
Ning Fan managed to raise his Separation Slayer Sword with great effort. He activated the maximum potential of ‘Strength’ and thrusted it into the golden rune above him.
Upon the collision of two massive forces, the golden rune was broken while Ning Fan’s arm lost grip of the sword due to the extreme vibration from the collision. Even the bones of his arm were nearly fractured!
That golden rune actually carried the power that was extremely close to that of an Absolute Void Stage attack!
“That golden pen looks rather familiar. It felt like I’d seen it somewhere before…” In the Profound Yin World, Luo You began pondering. She was ready at every moment to give Ning Fan a hand when he was in grave danger.
“I don’t know what that golden pen is. However, I do recognize the flames and ice on it… They are the Earth Blazing Flame and Mending Heavenly Heart which are both ranked first in the lists of Earth Flames and Heavenly Cold Qi…” Ning Fan’s expression became grim.
“This is an immortal pen that I picked up at the entrance of the Eight Region. Each stroke it makes can produce a golden rune which contains unfathomable power. How many runes can you withstand with your cultivation base?”
Bone Sovereign pointed at the golden pen in the sky, commanding it to make two strokes consecutively. In the next instant, two golden runes emerged.
The two golden runes were already equivalent to an attack from a common Absolute Void Stage expert!
The two of them turned into ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall and fell down on Ning Fan. If he tries to take the golden runes head-on again this time, the muscles and bones of his entire body would certainly break!
*Bang*
As the golden runes crashed into Ning Fan, the land and heavens were crumbled. The place where Ning Fan was originally standing was turned into ruins!
Bone Sovereign stared at Ning Fan who was no longer visible in his eyes and laughing mockingly.,
“Do you think you’re worthy of becoming my enemy with your such insignificant power? You’re literally seeking your own death!”
“Is that so?”
Countless black shadows suddenly flew into the sky from the ground and condensed into a black-robed young man with black hair. The left part of his face had strange demonic lines. Blood was flowing out from the corners of his lips.
At the crucial moment before he was struck by the golden runes, Ning Fan summoned his Primordial Lightning Armor and used his incarnation.
His Primordial Lightning Armor was crushed to pieces by the golden runes. Even though he managed to use his incarnation to withstand the attacks from the two golden runes, he could not avoid taking a serious damage.
“Humph! It’s beyond my expectations that you actually could escape my killing blow by dispersing using your incarnation. However, even though you weren’t killed by the two golden runes, you won’t be able to withstand the attacks of three golden runes! With my Void Pierce Stage magic power, I can produce three golden at most using the golden pen. Even an ordinary Absolute Void Stage expert will find it difficult to withstand the combined power of three golden runes!”
“You’ll die for sure!”
Bone Sovereign burst into laughter. He pointed a finger at the sky, attempting to activate the golden pen to draw three golden runes.
At the next moment, however, his face turned pale. He surprisingly realized that the golden pen had lost its functions and it could not be activated!”
He raised his head and stared at the golden pen above. To his surprise, the flames that were covering the golden pen originally had vanished into thin air!
Because of the disappearance of the flames, the golden pen lost its power and could not be activated anymore!
Moreover, Bone Sovereign had attached the cultivation of this golden pen to his life. When the flames of the pen were seized, his injuries worsened once more, causing his cultivation base to fall to the Void Inquiry Stage…
“Are you looking for this mass of Earth Blazing Flame…?” Ning Fan who was wearing black robes raised his hand into the sky and spoke with an expressionless face. He was holding a cloud of golden flames that was burning fiercely.
The moment he dispersed himself into his incarnation just now, he had secretly used the Fire Plucking Technique to seize the Earth Blazing Flame from the golden pen!
Since the golden pen had already lost its power, Bone Sovereign could no longer produce three golden runes to attack him!
Ning Fan stared at Bone Sovereign indifferently. His face was cold and merciless.
Bone Sovereign and he had multiple conflicts in the past. Today, however, everything would be resolved.
“With just a cultivation base at the Void Inquiry Stage, you’re nothing in my eyes. You can die now…”
When Ning Fan took a step forward, he vanished without a trace. It made Bone Sovereign’s hair stand on end as the feeling of danger filled him!
He would die! He definitely would die!
He wanted to withdraw the golden pen and flee but he realized that countless strange blood lines spread out from his body abruptly, completely restricting his movements!
Ning Fan’s bone-chilling figure suddenly emerged behind him. He held bundles of black fishing lines in his hands and tossed them at Bone Sovereign’s back.
Even if Bone Sovereign’s physical body was as strong as that of a body cultivator at the First Heavenly Layer of the Nirvana Body Refinement Realm, it was still easily penetrated by the fishing lines. Death Qi covered his entire body, causing it to decay rapidly.
Bone Sovereign’s eyes flashed with resentment. He knew that he would not be able to flee today no matter what and could only die.
He once died in the hands of the Sword Ancestor and was revived in the state of a ghost in this Demon Sinister Forest.
After years of grueling cultivation, he finally regained his Void Fragmentation Realm power. However, before he had the chance to question the Great Dao, he died again in Ning Fan’s hands.
He was discontented!
But he felt regretful even more. He regretted messing with this young man in the past and making him his enemy. However, it was already too late for him to feel remorse.
“I’m Bone Sovereign! Even if I’m going to die, I certainly won’t die in the hands of a lowly being like you! I am the only person who can kill me!”
His eyes widened with rage. He wanted to commit suicide to blast Ning Fan to death!
When a Void Fragmentation Realm expert detonates themselves, it would be difficult for one to avoid even if they hide within a heavenly dwelling space!
Bone Sovereign laughed hysterically. He wanted to perish together with Ning Fan.
“Let’s go to hell together!”
A loud bang echoed across the air. Bone Sovereign detonated his primordial spirit and died instantaneously. The force of his self-detonation, however, turned into terrifying shock waves that flattened the entire Seventh Region…
After a long time, Ning Fan reappeared above the ruins of the Seventh Region.
Unfortunately, Bone Sovereign failed to kill him. The moment Bone Sovereign blew up himself, Ning Fan directly went into the Profound Yin World and evaded the force of the explosion.
Standing above the ruins, Ning Fan’s eyes scanned across the vast and boundless land. He saw the corpses that were no longer recognizable, the cremains of the remains, the sense beads, the broken treasures and the golden pen which Bone Sovereign left behind…
Ning Fan kept silent for a long while with his eyes closed. Loneliness crept inside his heart.
He harbored grudges against Bone Sovereign. Putting Bone Sovereign’s personality aside, he indeed was an extremely difficult opponent.
Furthermore, he was considered to be a person with dignity as he rather killed himself than dying in Ning Fan’s hands.
“It’s such a pity. You shouldn’t have started a feud with me. Once you’ve become my enemy, it’s either you die and I perish in the battle of cultivation… Don’t ever mess with me in your next life!”
Ning Fan kept all the spoils of the battle with a flick of the sleeve and quietly left.
The moment he returned to the Yellow Spring Demon City, the members of the entire city were so stunned that they stared at him with their mouths agape.
Bone Sovereign was dead and he died in Ning Fan’s hands!
There were no survivors in the Seventh Region. Just looking at the ruins that stretched over one million li* (500m per li) alone could fill the ghost cultivators of the city with fear.
How terrifying exactly was the battle in the Seventh Region?!
“Y-You’ve actually killed Bone Sovereign!?” Mu Xiaoliang covered her small mouth with her hands and stood there, rooted to the ground. She could not recover herself from shock even after a long while.
The king of the Demon Sinister Forest had actually died in Ning Fan’s hands… This was just too unbelievable!
Mu Xiaoliang shifted her gaze to Mei Chen who was sleeping on the bed. Even though she was asleep, her brows were filled with worries. Well, she probably was still worried about Ning Fna.
If she wakes up and finds out that Ning Fan had wiped out the entire Seventh Region and eliminated Bone Sovereign, how surprised would she feel?
“Let her sleep a little longer. Besides, I need to take a good rest for now…” Ning Fan wore an exhausted smile on his face. The bones of his arm were still aching while the swellings of the immortal veins within him were yet to subside.
The damage Ning Fan took in the battle was definitely not light…
It was unknown how long he would need to treat his injuries this time.
