Chapter 513

The long night is hesitant, the moonlight is like mourning.

Before the Lu Zu temple, the killing and falling were like lightning, like the sea overturning, rapid and fierce, yet returning to dead silence in a very short time.

From Zhang Fan's appearance to the end of the battle, the battle, which was as rapid as thunder and fire, actually settled in just five short minutes.

Leng Canxiang, Qin Tiandeng, Yuan Baitian, Feng Qinghan...

These four great experts had long since completed their Life Merit, and their Jin Dans had been born; if in ancient times, they would have been figures capable of opening sects and dominating one side.

However, in less than five short minutes, they all overturned, died, and disappeared, becoming ghosts under Zhang Fan's hands.

"He... how long has it been?"

At this time, Wang Tao, hiding in the dark, took in everything before him, and the blood on that enchanting face had long since faded...

Only heart-shaking and soul-trembling!

Only liver and gallbladder cracking!

His gaze vibrated, and a monstrous wave had long since risen in his heart, almost unable to think.

Wang Tao clearly remembered that more than a year ago, when he first met Zhang Fan in Yujing City, the other party was just awakening his soul-aspect, in the realm of a technique disciple.

However, in less than two years, this person had actually grown like a dragon flying into the sky, like a fierce tiger returning to the mountain, to such a terrifying realm.

Those were four Zhai Shou realm experts, the weakest of whom had five turns of Jin Dan.

Among them, Leng Canxiang was even a seven-turn Jin Dan, standing on the third great level of the Zhai Shou realm, a top expert even looking at the world, and just like that... died?

Thinking of this, the awe in Wang Tao's heart grew like wild grass, unable to be suppressed anymore, climbing to an incomparable level.

He finally understood that Zhang Fan, this man, was simply an existence that defied reason and could not be measured by secular standards and frameworks.

Rumble...

Just as Wang Tao's heart was surging, a violent fluctuation came, pulling his gaze back.

Before the Lu Zu temple, the figures of the Dao Alliance experts lay horizontally, like walking corpses, without any vitality, soul-aspects shooting into the sky, like stars in the dark night, extinguishing in an instant, turning into surging flowing light, melting into Zhang Fan's body.

Among them, the flowing light transformed by the soul-aspects of Qin Tiandeng, Leng Canxiang, Yuan Baitian, and Feng Qinghan was as bright as a great star, the most dazzling.

Zhang Fan at this moment was like that ghostly long night, like that endless void.

The invisible fluctuation was like the opening of the heaven gate, swallowing all soul-aspect flowing light.

Black and white Qi intertwined, hiding the soul-aspect that was like an abyss; although there was flowing light and intense brilliance, it couldn't fill the gullies of the abyss.

Endless flowing light surged, as if returning to the embrace of heaven and earth, becoming a part of Zhang Fan's soul-aspect, strengthening the boiling and clamoring black and white Qi.

At the same time, four Jin Dans floated into the air, like great suns, circling around Zhang Fan.

Hum...

An invisible fluctuation came from Zhang Fan's body, and the four Jin Dans disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into pale golden torrents, rolling and clamoring, all pouring into Zhang Fan's Upper Dantian Qi Sea.

The soul-aspect is the root of nature.

The Jin Dan is the basis of life.

Nature and life intertwined, like yin and yang mixing, refining a dragon-tiger great Dan, going against the red dust, knocking and looking at the heaven gate, longevity in sight, endless and limitless.

Rumble...

In an instant, Zhang Fan's body was like a furnace, and a heaven-shaking change occurred inside.

Black and white Qi boiled and soared, his soul-aspect transformed again; in a daze, phenomena were heavy, aura was layered, like the day, like the long night endless, black and white together, divine and demon standing together.

In the Spirit Platform...

In the Origin Palace...

Nature light descended like true fire, calcining and purifying the vast Dan Origin essence that poured into the Upper Dantian.

Rumble...

Inside Zhang Fan's Upper Dantian Mysterious Palace, it seemed as if wind and thunder were drumming, and rivers were surging.

Those swallowed Jin Dan essences, under the domineering smelting of the Divine Demon Holy Fetus and the quenching of the nature light true fire, removed the dross and kept the essence, turning into the most original nature-life provisions, frantically nourishing and quenching his own Jin Dan that had reached the peak of five turns.

Hum...

A clear sound that seemed to come from the depths of the soul rang out.

Inside Zhang Fan's Upper Dantian, on the round and bright Jin Dan, beside the original five clear Dao patterns, the sixth complex and mysterious golden pattern, from virtual to real, suddenly emerged, condensed, and solidified.

The vast sense of power instantly filled his limbs and bones, his whole body's aura soared, breaking through an invisible barrier.

Jin Dan six turns!

Zhai Shou great realm, one step further!

"Broken through, he broke through again!"

In the distance, Wang Tao felt the change in Zhang Fan's aura, and shock appeared on his numb face again.

"Less... less than two years... directly from soul-aspect awakening to stepping into Jin Dan six turns!?"

In Wang Tao's heart, it was as if a voice was roaring and howling.

He looked at Zhang Fan, his eyes as if looking at a monster that defied reason, an anomaly that jumped out of fate.

Such speed was simply shocking; even the world's number one 【Three Corpse Daoist】 back then, and the current Pure Yang Limitless 【Chao Ran Zhenren】, at this age, might not have been able to achieve it.

Rumble...

Zhang Fan's changes did not stop; the energy he swallowed and absorbed was too vast.

Jin Dan turned into liquid, soul-aspect flowing light.

Nature and life intertwined, surging, colliding, fusing, and changing in his body...

Zhang Fan's body was more and more like a heaven and earth furnace, the Origin Palace Spirit Platform bloomed with boundless light, the Jianggong Divine Mansion moved the blood Qi of the whole body, the Mysterious Palace Qi Sea conceived the supreme great Dan...

The terrifying nature-life essence was intersecting, conceiving, and nourishing...

Rumble...

Just then, a strange and familiar fluctuation suddenly came from Zhang Fan's pocket.

Zhang Fan's heart moved, and a black flowing light soared into the sky, appearing before him.

"Black iron piece."

Since the Yujing River Beach battle, the black iron piece had been completely silent, as if that battle had been a huge consumption for it, falling into a deep sleep, difficult to wake up, but it suddenly revived here.

Hum...

At this moment, this seemingly broken and inconspicuous iron piece, as if connected to Zhang Fan's bloodline, produced a hungry resonance.

It didn't need Zhang Fan to urge it, but as if it were a part of Zhang Fan's body, it began to absorb the nature-life essence in his body that hadn't had time to completely merge with himself but had been repeatedly quenched by him to be incredibly pure.

"Hmm!?"

Zhang Fan's heart moved, revealing a strange look.

He naturally knew that the black iron piece was a fragment of the legendary 【Slaying Corpse Sword】, one of the nine vessels.

Since the Living Dead Tomb, by chance, the black iron piece was re-sharpened, and there had been no movement.

Until the Yujing River Beach battle, this thing revealed its fierce power for the first time, its sharpness soaring into the sky, shocking the world, directly piercing through the Temple Master realm expert Fan Lingzhou, almost completely exterminating him.

That explosion brought terrible backlash, almost sucking dry all of Zhang Fan's strength; most of the reason he was seriously injured and dying afterward was because of this.

Since then, the black iron piece had been dim, the "sharpness" still there, but the "edge" had faded.

Now, with the surge of intense nature-life essence, a bit of heart-palpitating pitch-black sharpness on the edge of the iron piece actually began to grow and extend again.

"This is recharging!?" Zhang Fan's eyes widened, overjoyed.

In just a moment, the sharp flowing light on the edge of the black iron piece grew by half an inch, black light flowing, exuding a fluctuation that was more restrained but more fatal than before.

"Tsk tsk, didn't expect this, this thing can still be used like this?" Zhang Fan whispered softly.

The Slaying Corpse Sword was originally aimed at the Three Corpse Calamity.

Soul-aspect is innate, Three Corpses are born together.

It was no wonder that the black iron piece would react to the nature-life essence of the soul-aspect and Jin Dan intertwining.
