Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 718 Shao Yan Clan vs Ji Ning
"What else? Even if you pass the tribulation and become a celestial being, with your newly-appointed strength, are you able to help Ji Ning?" Di Ke shook his head and said, "You should just stay here and practice in peace to prepare for the tribulation! Although your cultivation level has improved rapidly in the past few years, you still lack some training. If you want to successfully pass the tribulation, the inner demon tribulation will not be easy to overcome."

"But Ji Ning..." Dong'er was still a little worried, and Di Ke said, "Don't worry, a disciple of Daozu won't die so easily. Besides, I will go back to Daxia World in person and pick up some bargains."

Pick up a bargain? Dong'er looked at Di Ke with some doubts, but Di Ke smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know in the future. I can assure you that Ji Ning will not die in the hands of Shao Yan. But you must also prepare yourself in meditation and strive to gain a deeper understanding of the Tao and have a greater grasp before you go to overcome the tribulation. Although there are undercurrents in the three realms now, the Red Dragon World is generally relatively calm. So don't worry, my men are not short of your celestial fighting power for the time being."

Dong'er nodded slightly after hearing this, and felt more at ease. Others may not know, but she knew that Di Ke had recruited some powerful Returning Earth Immortals in the Red Dragon World in the past few years, and some of these Returning Earth Immortals had even successfully overcome the tribulation and become Heavenly Immortals with the help of Di Ke. Therefore, Di Ke's subordinates were not short of Heavenly Immortals, but there was no important matter for him to mobilize his Heavenly Immortals for the time being.

In the Daxia world, Dongfu County, Chenyu Mountain Range, as one of the three major nests of Shaoyan Clan, it is naturally extremely important in Dongfu County controlled by Shaoyan Clan. There are countless Shaoyan Clan members living and breeding here. There are millions of Shaoyan Clan cultivators alone, not to mention the numerous arrays and prohibitions. This is a nest that Shaoyan Clan has operated for hundreds of millions of years.

However, the Chenyu Mountain Range, which no one dared to provoke or offend under normal circumstances, became abuzz with Ji Ning's sudden arrival and active attack... Ji Ning, who destroyed the core of the formation in one area, ordered his subordinate Bai Shuize, who had reached the level of Return to the Void Earth Immortal, to set up a large formation, and then began to attack and destroy wantonly, making the Shao Yan clan's scattered immortals and earthly immortals stationed here helpless for a while. They could only watch and at the same time notify the Shao Yan clan's celestial immortal ancestors, hoping that they could come and deal with Ji Ning as soon as possible.

"Huh? Five celestial immortal ancestors? The Shao Yan family's foundation is really deep enough," the one-eyed demon Huozhu standing behind Di Ke said in amazement when he saw five figures appearing above the Chenyu Mountain Range in the distant void.

Dick, who was standing in a black robe with his hands behind his back, smiled calmly and casually, "After all, it is a tribe ranked in the top ten in the world of Daxia, so it is normal for them to have this kind of background. The number of immortal ancestors of Shaoyan clan is definitely not limited to these five. Xuanji immortal did not come, and the ancestor of Shaoyan clan, Poisonous Immortal, is also quite difficult among the immortals."

"Master, can Ji Ning handle the five celestial immortals joining forces?" Huozhu couldn't help but ask, seeing that the five celestial immortals of Shao Yan clan had already charged into the formation set up by Bai Shuize under Ji Ning's provocation.

"If he didn't have the confidence to deal with it, he wouldn't have risked coming to Shao Yan's lair," Di Ke said calmly, as if he had confidence in Ji Ning. "Just watch carefully! Daozu's disciples, even if they haven't successfully passed the tribulation and become celestial immortals, can't be dealt with by just a few celestial immortals working together. If Ji Ning was so easy to kill, he wouldn't have had the chance to come to Shao Yan's lair."

Although there was a formation blocking them, Di Ke and Huo Zhu could sense the fighting scene inside the formation. After the five immortal ancestors of the Shao Yan clan joined forces to form a defensive formation and charged in, Ji Ning's move surprised Huo Zhu: "So strong! The attack from just his fingers was so powerful that it almost broke the Five Elements Mountain defensive formation formed by the five immortals of the Shao Yan clan. Could it be that Ji Ning's fingers are comparable to the attack power of the Pure Yang magic weapon?"

"Hmm? Shaoyin Demon Subduing Formation?" Huozhu's expression turned ugly immediately after that, because the five celestial immortal ancestors of Shaoyan clan each took out a black chain, wanting to restrain and capture Ji Ning. This was the method used by Shaoyan clan to capture some powerful gods and demons.

Huozhu, who used to be a god and demon hiding in the world of Daxia, was lucky enough not to encounter the Shaoyin Demon Subduing Formation, but he had heard about it. Thinking about how so many gods and demons were captured by some large tribes such as the Shaoyan clan with the help of the Shaoyin Demon Subduing Formation and other formations, it would be strange if Huozhu's face was not good.

However, Shao Yan clan still underestimated Ji Ning's strength. Even though they used the Shao Yin Demon Subduing Formation, they still couldn't restrain and suppress Ji Ning who was bursting out with all his strength. "What a powerful Jianhe! And Ji Ning's palm attack is so strong that the five chains that make up the Shao Yin Demon Subduing Formation can't get close to him at all. What a powerful magical power!" Seeing Ji Ning's powerful power, Huo Zhu, who quickly calmed down, couldn't help but marvel again.

But soon, Ji Ning had to stop. Although he was not afraid of the five celestial immortals joining forces, he was also unable to break through their defensive formation. For a while, no one could do anything to anyone.

"After all, he is a celestial being. Even if the Returning Void God and Demon are very powerful, it is not easy to rely on powerful magical powers to kill a celestial being," Huo Zhu sighed. Di Ke beside him nodded slightly. "Ji Ning's magical powers are very powerful, and he has cultivated to a relatively high level. He is definitely a top celestial being. It's just that he is still a little short of the realm of Tao. Otherwise, he would be able to comprehend a more terrifying trick, burst out the limit of a celestial being, or even rival the strength of a Pure Yang True Immortal. It would be easy to kill a celestial being in that way."

“To have the cultivation of Return to Void comparable to the limit of Heavenly Immortals or even Pure Yang Immortals, this is too incredible, isn’t it? Even among Heavenly Immortals, there are only a very small number who can burst out the strength comparable to Pure Yang Immortals.” Huo Zhu shook his head and said: “The gap between Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Gods is much greater than the gap between Return to Void and Heavenly Immortals.”

"It's difficult for others, but for a peerless evildoer personally trained by a Taoist master, crossing the border to kill the enemy is normal," said Di Keze. Huo Zhu couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Master, do you think Ji Ning can really kill one or two of the Shaoyan clan's immortal ancestors today?"

“Just watch! At least, even if Shao Yan clan has a few more immortal ancestors, they won’t be able to do anything to Ji Ning unless they use some really powerful trump cards,” Di Ke said without comment.

Huozhu originally thought that Ji Ning and Shao Yan clan were going to be in a stalemate, but unexpectedly, the two sides soon started fighting again deep underground, because Ji Ning accidentally discovered and moved the Endless Copper Furnace which was extremely important to Shao Yan clan. That was the place where Shao Yan clan suppressed a large number of gods and demons.

Ji Ning's move was like stirring up a hornet's nest, making the Shao Yan clan's immortals anxious. Even Shao Yan Chou, the Shao Yan clan's ancestor, hurried over with the other three hidden immortals of the Shao Yan clan...
"The celestial beings of Shao Yan clan are so nervous, what on earth is being suppressed by the copper pillar underground?" Shao Yan clan's reaction also surprised and puzzled Huo Zhu.

"What else could it be? Can't you guess?" Di Ke asked back. Huo Zhu reacted instantly after hearing what he said. He stared with an uncontrollable violent aura: "Gods and demons? Is that the place where Shao Yan's clan suppresses gods and demons?"

Sensing the distortion and vibration of the surrounding space, Di Ke could not help but turn his head and look at Huo Zhu helplessly: "Calm down! Shao Yanchou is here, do you want those immortals of Shao Yan clan to find out that we are watching the battle here?"
