Chapter 459 - 241: Golden Body Eighth Forging, Shaking the World
[Slaughtered Niu Dingtian, gained 20,000 years of Ordinary Power, 90 years of Golden Body Power]
[Slaughtered He Jiuling, gained 20,000 years of Ordinary Power, 90 years of Golden Body Power]
[Slaughtered Xiong Kaishan, gained 20,000 years of Ordinary Power, 90 years of Golden Body Power]
...
[Ordinary Power: 290,000 years]
[Golden Body Power: 720 years]
Wei Fan glanced at the panel, this gain of 100,000 years of Ordinary Power and 450 years of Golden Body Power left him only 80 power away from breaking through to the Golden Body Ninth Forging.
Wei Fan scanned the surroundings. This place, once open and expansive, was now full of ravines and deep pits, with several distant mountain peaks having vanished.
The destructive power of a Martial Venerable Powerhouse is terrifying. If not for most encounters occurring in the sky, the destruction here would have been even worse.
"Brother Wei’s divine might, removing the scourge of the Five-Colored Demon Bull Clan Leader for my Human Race, is a boundless merit!"
Xie Cailin flew over, his face full of shock. Niu Dingtian, who once forced back the martial level of the Daqian Kingdom, was hammered to death by Wei Fan. This news, if spread, would surely shake the entire Daqian Kingdom.
"These people still want to take advantage!"
Demon Hunters emerged from the surrounding forests, all staring at Wei Fan in shock.
One man slaughtered five Demon Venerables, three of whom were at the Five-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging, and two at the Six-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging. This battle was enough to be recorded in history, no less impactful than the Battle of Eagle’s Woe Cliff.
"This guy is defying the heavens, the Hall Master was worried something would happen to him, and sure enough, something major has occurred. Killing Niu Dingtian of the Five-Colored Demon Bull Clan is one thing, but He Jiuling is a descendant of the Demon Saint Bloodline. Killing him will surely drive the Profound Crane Sect mad!"
Li Yunfei trembled as he took out his waist token and infused it with his Heart Spirit: "Hall Master, something big has happened, Wei Fan killed the Five-Colored Demon Bull Clan Leader Niu Dingtian and He Jiuling. The Martial King of the Profound Crane Sect may come to kill!"
Last time, just slaying the Double-headed Elephant Venerable brought the Demon King of the Profound Crane Sect seeking revenge. This time, it’s the descendant of the Demon Saint Bloodline who’s dead, and the consequences are unknown.
After sending the message, Li Yunfei put away his waist token and flew over.
"Brother Li, you’re here too?"
Xie Cailin looked at Li Yunfei, who had descended, this fellow should’ve been here long ago, but hadn’t shown up until now.
Li Yunfei appeared anxious: "Stop the nonsense, let’s go quickly. Brother Wei killed He Jiuling of the Profound Crane Sect, this time it’s unlikely to end as simply as last time!"
Xie Cailin shook his head: "Don’t worry, a fight won’t break out. The Martial Kings of my Human Race are not much fewer than the Demon Race’s Demon Kings. One He Jiuling is not enough for a Demon King to go all out."
He wasn’t worried about the Demon King coming to kill, as every Demon King has a Martial King guarding them, and generally won’t let a Demon King cross the boundary line.
However, if there’s another ambush targeting Wei Fan, it won’t be as simple as this time.
This time, Wei Fan took out Niu Dingtian and He Jiuling at once, essentially making him invincible among Martial Venerables. If targeted again, it might involve King-level power.
Wei Fan was actually somewhat anticipating the Demon King’s arrival, wondering if the Perfection Human King Bell could slaughter a Demon King.
But after waiting for a while, there wasn’t the slightest movement from the demons’ direction, as if they had endured He Jiuling’s killing.
Not even a roar was heard, let alone a clash of kings.
"Wei Fan, be careful. The Demon King doesn’t necessarily have to act personally. The Demon King’s realm is mysterious and unpredictable, and they can refine secret artifacts with their power to easily obliterate any Martial Venerable!"
The group flew towards Hezhou City.
On this day, the Daqian Kingdom was in an uproar. The son of General Zhuang Qinghua of Hezhou was taken hostage by demons, forcing him to collude with them, leading to Wei Fan being summoned to be killed by the Five-Colored Demon Bull Clan Leader Niu Dingtian.
Unexpectedly, the situation reversed dramatically. Including the disciples from the Profound Crane Sect, He Jiuling, even Niu Dingtian was countered and killed. With multiple Demon Hunters witnessing, this news swept through the Daqian Kingdom like a tempest, spreading to surrounding dynasties.
Countless Jianghu people were shocked and dumbfounded by this news. Many didn’t know He Jiuling, but they knew of Niu Dingtian’s ferocious fame, who almost single-handedly pushed back the martial arts standards of the Daqian Kingdom.
For a time, numerous sects in the Daqian Kingdom were shaken. Some Sect Leaders personally came out of seclusion to warn their disciples, that if anyone provokes Wei Fan, they would be killed by the sect without needing Wei Fan to lift a finger.
...
Zhao Kingdom, Extreme Martial Sect, Sect Leader’s Hall.
Jiang He said solemnly: "Sect Leader Senior Brother, the people I sent out have found the disciples who went to the Daqian Kingdom with Jiang Yi that day. Although they didn’t see Wei Fan kill Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi was indeed fighting with Wei Fan before he died.
Also, the Sect Leader of Mist Smoke Sect was involved in the battle at the time. He’s also dead, and the Mist Smoke Sect has disbanded. The one who killed Junior Brother Jiang Yi was none other than Wei Fan.
How to handle this matter, I ask the Sect Leader Senior Brother to make a decision!"
After several days, the people dispatched by the Extreme Martial Sect finally arrived in the Daqian Kingdom and found the disciples who went with Jiang Yi, learning the entire course of events.
Jiang Li’s face turned cold: "How to handle it, naturally we shall kill this Wei Fan, to avenge Jiang Yi. For years, not even the demons dared to kill an Elder of our Extreme Martial Sect!"
Jiang He frowned slightly and said: "This Wei Fan is a Demon Hunter Patrol Envoy, his talent destined to become a Martial King in the future. I’m afraid the Demon Hunter Organization might intervene, perhaps report to the Alliance first..."
Jiang Li shook his head: "Killing Wei Fan is a personal vendetta. There’s an agreement between the Desert Martial Alliance and the Demon Hunter Organization, that Jianghu feuds won’t be intervened with. Over the years, the Demon Hunter Organization has become increasingly overbearing. If they dare to intervene, the Alliance could take the opportunity to fall out with them..."
After they finished speaking, another Elder of the Extreme Martial Sect, Jiang Long, walked in: "Greetings, Sect Leader Senior Brother!"
Jiang Li nodded, "Jiang Long, Junior Brother, you came at the right time. Junior Brother Jiang He has already found out that it was indeed Wei Fan who harmed Junior Brother Jiang Yi. You go and gather the disciples to follow me down the mountain. I want to personally take Wei Fan’s head to pay respects to Junior Brother Jiang Yi!"
A terrifying aura surged from his body. As the Sect Leader of the Extreme Martial Sect, the bloodline flowing through him was that of the founder of the sect, possessing a Six-Colored Golden Body. Throughout the world, there were not many who could match him unless a King-level expert appeared.
Jiang Long’s expression slightly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader, Senior Brother, I have some latest news from the Daqian Kingdom. Listen before you make a decision."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li, though slightly frowning, gestured for Jiang Long to continue.
Jiang Long took a deep breath and said, "Just now, the Sect Leader of Red Sand Valley from the Daqian Kingdom sent me a message saying that Niu Dingtian, the Clan Leader of the Five-Colored Demon Bull, laid a trap to ambush Wei Fan. However, including He Jiuling from the Profound Crane Sect, five great Demon Venerables were all killed by Wei Fan alone. Niu Dingtian was beaten into a pulp by Wei Fan..."
At these words, Jiang Li was so shocked that he stood up from the large chair, his aura out of control: "Did the Sect Leader of Red Sand Valley witness this personally?"
He had heard of He Jiuling, a formidable Demon Venerable in the Profound Crane Sect known for possessing Demon Saint bloodline and having completed the Ninth Forging of the Six-Colored Golden Body.
And Niu Dingtian, although he had never fought him, he had seen Niu Dingtian ambushing a Human Race Martial Venerable, and their cultivations should be comparable.
If these two Demon Venerables were defeated by Wei Fan alone, rushing to the Daqian Kingdom to seek revenge would be tantamount to offering his head.
Jiang He was filled with disbelief: "How is that possible? Isn’t Wei Fan at the Golden Body Fourth Forging cultivation? What could he use to kill Niu Dingtian and He Jiuling!"
Jiang Long glanced at Jiang Li: "It wasn’t witnessed by the Sect Leader of Red Sand Valley, but many Demon Hunters were present, so the news is certainly not false!"
While speaking, he suppressed the tremor in his heart: "Moreover, Wei Fan is not at the Golden Body Fourth Forging. The latest news is that he is at the Golden Body Seventh Forging, and he possesses a top-level Martial Venerable Divine Bow. It was with this Divine Bow that he shot He Jiuling from a distance."
Golden Body Seventh Forging!
Jiang Li drew a cold breath, "This matter ends here. Withdraw all the disciples and report the matter to the Martial Alliance, let the Guangling Sect handle it."
He immediately backed down decisively. Although the Extreme Martial Sect had some legacies left by Martial King ancestors, those ancestors had passed away years ago. Using these legacies was a losing game against Wei Fan.
Jiang Long revealed a wry smile: "But I’m afraid Wei Fan won’t let it go. After all, it was our Extreme Martial Sect that provoked him first. It was Jiang Yi’s intention to give him a show of strength that led to this disaster. With Wei Fan’s temper, he might come to the Extreme Martial Sect."
Recently, the Extreme Martial Sect collected quite a bit of information on Wei Fan, discovering that he harbors antipathy towards sects and even the entire Desert Martial Alliance. If anyone provokes him, he will inevitably attack to force the disbandment of the sect.
If not followed, he would destroy the sect.
"Does he dare!"
Jiang Li’s expression turned fierce, "The Extreme Martial Sect merely wishes to avoid mutual destruction, not that we have no power to resist..."
Even as he spoke, his voice faded, knowing Wei Fan indeed dared.
He was a reckless madman, even daring to kill someone like He Jiuling with the Demon Saint bloodline from the Profound Crane Sect, there were indeed few things he wouldn’t dare to do in the world.
"Gather all disciples to return, all the elders into the Mountain Protection Array nodes, and prepare for Wei Fan’s attack!"
...
"Finally done, Niu Dingtian’s bull horn’s divine ability is not weaker than the Deer Horn Thunder Manipulator of the Dragon-horned Deer Venerable!"
Wei Fan looked at his restored, robust hands with a smile.
He had added the Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual on the panel, and after cultivating for more than a decade, his palm injuries were healed.
The black glow emitted from Niu Dingtian’s bull horn had the power to wipe out vitality and flesh, and as for what would happen when stabbed by the bull horn, he did not know.
However, before dying, Niu Dingtian crazily tried to pierce him with the bull horn, and the consequences might have been truly terrifying.
[Golden Body·Seventh Forging (100%)]
...
[Ordinary Power: 290,000 years]
[Golden Body Power: 720 years]
"First break through to the Eighth Forging, then forge the third arrow, this should save quite a bit of ordinary power!"
After glancing at the panel, Wei Fan made a decision. Refining Divine Soldiers requires less power the higher one’s cultivation.
Now, since some time has passed since the breakthrough to Golden Body Seventh Forging, he can break through to Golden Body Eighth Forging.
Moreover, after today’s battle, the bottom line has been exposed, and he needs to make this information known worldwide as outdated news, always giving the enemy a surprise.
The panel began to shimmer:
[One Year of Golden Body Power, you start the eighth forging of the Golden Body as True Essence floods through your limbs, enhancing and forging your Golden Body]
...
[Four Hundred Years of Golden Body Power, you complete the eighth forging of the Golden Body, dramatically increasing your strength, with Blood Qi surging like the sea]
[Ordinary Power: 290,000 years]
[Golden Body Power: 320 years]
