C554 Eighth floor of Xuanyang Secret Realm

The purple fire lotus tornado seemed to be falling very slowly, but it was extremely fast towards Long Ao Tian, and at this moment, Long Ao Tian's face was filled with pain, the purple fire lotuses on his body were constantly releasing terrifying might, causing him to feel a heart wrenching pain!

One had to know that the Twin Heavens of Ice and Fire, just a fire lotus, already possessed such terrifying power. At this moment, the Hundred Ice and Fire Flower Tomb had released hundreds of purple fire lotuses. Although each fire lotus wasn't as powerful as a single fire and ice lotus, they also contained a terrifying amount of power.

However, there was still an immeasurably large gap between it and the Grand Dao of Karma. After all, Ning Fan did not have the ability to grasp the power of karma, so the ability he could use was also very limited!

"I didn't expect that I would die at the hands of a little kid who had yet to dry out …" At this time, Long Ao Tian released a sigh, closed his eyes and prepared to receive Ning Fan's shocking attack.

However, right at this moment, a white robed figure suddenly appeared in front of Long Ao Tian's body, in the next moment, he raised his hand and pressed down towards the purple colored tornado formed by the Hundred Blossom Ice and Fire Tomb. In that instant, it was as if the winds had blown and the clouds had scattered, the purple colored fire lotus tornado instantly disintegrated, as if it had turned to dust, and dust had returned to earth.

The one who came was Zhang Luoheng, from the moment they started fighting, Zhang Luoheng had been observing the battle.

Regarding Long Ao Tian's fighting strength, Zhang Luoheng could be said to be even more knowledgeable than Long Ao Tian himself. Seeing that Ning Fan had challenged Long Ao Tian so quickly, Zhang Luoheng also wanted to see Ning Fan suffer a loss, having a good memory, for the sake of tempering his character.

In his eyes, even if Ning Fan used all his strength, he still wouldn't be Long Ao Tian's match. He simply didn't have any hope of winning.

However, what he never thought of, was that Ning Fan was actually this persistent, unwilling to admit defeat no matter what. This made him think of the perseverance Ning Fan showed when he climbed into the seventh floor of the Xuanyang Secret Realm!

Furthermore, even when Ning Fan was completely at a disadvantage, he was still able to create miracles again and again, and kept on exploding out with more and more powerful fighting strength.

This final technique, "Hundred Blossom Ice and Fire Tomb", almost destroyed the ceiling of the sky above the dark night. This kind of power, was already not inferior to the all-out attack of a cultivator at the sixth level of Dachang, and Ning Fan was only at the third level of cataclysm. Even if he used a secret technique, he was only at the fifth level of cataclysm!

The later one cultivated, the greater the gap between each small realm of cultivation. Even if there were several tens of levels of cataclysm, they might not necessarily be able to handle a single cultivator at the first or second level of Dachang.

The cultivators of Dachang, after going through the Major Heaven Calamity, could be said to have been reborn. Their mental and spiritual energies had reached the pinnacle of cultivation, just a step away from stepping into the ranks of immortals.

The difference between cataclysm and Red Flower Realm was just like the difference between a Red Flower Realm and a Holy Infant Realm. It was a qualitative change from quantitative to qualitative, and defeating a large success in cataclysm was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

And for cultivators that could step into the Dachang, which one was not a supreme genius, so how could they be easily challenged by someone beyond their cultivation levels?

As for Long Ao Tian, he was personally trained by Zhang Luoheng. He was merely at the peak of cataclysm, and his full strength could already battle with cultivators at the third level of Dachang. In the entire Vast Sky Continent, going back five thousand years, there were less than thirty people who could do this!

As for someone who could cross over so many realms like Ning Fan, even Zhang Luoheng himself couldn't do it. Perhaps, from ancient times, it was the first time Ning Fan could do so …

Even if it was a cultivator with four special eyes — the Breaking World and Killing Eyes, he could only fight with cultivators at the fifth level of the Dachang once he reached the peak of the cataclysm.

But Ning Fan, on the other hand, had injured him with all his strength at the fifth level of the cataclysm.

At this time, Zhang Luoheng even suspected that when Ning Fan stepped into the peak of cataclysm, he would be able to defeat a peak Grand Master cultivator!

But at this time, Ning Fan's face was as white as wax, and his body was on the verge of collapse. Seeing Zhang Luoheng appear, Ning Fan trembled as he said: "Did I pass?"

Hearing that, Zhang Luoheng nodded his head lightly.

Seeing this scene, Ning Fan seemed to have used up all his remaining strength and fell backwards.

Seeing that, Zhang Luoheng's figure flashed, and he caught Ning Fan in his arms.

At this point, the purple fire lotus on Long Ao Tian's body had long been extinguished, and with a flash of light, Long Ao Tian once again took human form, but his body was still completely black, purple, almost without a single undamaged part of him.

In the next moment, Long Ao Tian respectfully walked towards Zhang Luoheng and spoke: "This subordinate is incompetent, and was unable to defeat the challenger.

Hearing that, Zhang Luoheng raised his hand with his back facing Long Ao Tian, stopping him, he said: "I can see your fight, you did well, and you forced Ning Fan's potential out, I will now help you to break through!"

Hearing Zhang Luoheng's words, Long Ao Tian was wild with joy. So it turns out that Master's intention was to force out's potential, it seems like viewed him as very important!

Just then, Zhang Luoheng pointed a finger at Long Ao Tian, and streams of golden light merged into Long Ao Tian's body. In a few breaths, all of Long Ao Tian's injuries were completely healed, and he was back to his peak condition!

However, the golden light was still flowing into Long Ao Tian's body, and very quickly, his Qi had risen to the limit, as a layer of shackles was broken through. In the next moment, Zhang Luoheng directly sent it out of the summit of the Dark Night, where Long Ao Tian was unable to undergo his tribulation.

Just then, Zhang Luoheng looked at Ning Fan and fed him a pill.

After the time it took for an incense to burn had passed, Ning Fan slowly woke up.

Seeing this, Zhang Luoheng nodded at Ning Fan and said: "You have done well this time, defeating Long Ao Tian, I will allow you to enter the eighth floor of Xuanyang Secret Realm!"

Hearing Zhang Luoheng's words, Ning Fan's eyes were filled with joy. He had stayed on the seventh floor of the Xuanyang Secret Realm for over a dozen years, which was even longer than when he had stayed in the Vast Sky Continent. However, in these ten-odd years, his strength had indeed undergone a tremendous change.

Be it his cultivation level, pill dao or array dao, he could no longer be compared with him all those years ago. It was also time for him to go to the eighth floor of Xuanyang Secret Realm.

"Senior, please send me to the eighth floor!" Ning Fan looked at Zhang Luoheng, his eyes filled with anticipation.

At this moment, Ning Fan only felt dizzy. In merely an instant, it was unknown just how much distance he had gained, and it was also in this very instant that Zhang Luoheng firmly stood still while holding onto Ning Fan.

At this moment, Zhang Luoheng pointed at the sky above him and a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the darkness. After which, he said to Ning Fan, "This is the end of the darkest night sky.
