Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117: The Only Choice is to Fight

The Man in the Black Mist had encountered many powerful cultivators in the Secret Realm, each with their own strengths.

But no matter how skilled they were, none could do as Ning Fan was doing—no matter the peril, he always turned danger into safety.

The mere act of absorbing the Resentful Spirit Crystal already made him superior to all past cultivators.

Observing Ning Fan who was currently absorbing, The Man in the Black Mist began to ponder, what kind of situation it would be if Ning Fan continued to grow.

While he was pondering, Ning Fan had also begun the refinement.

The Resentful Spirit Crystal born from the aggregation of resentment contained a power far exceeding that of ordinary resentful spirits.

The moment he began refining, a massive tide of resentment wildly surged forth, enveloping Ning Fan almost instantly.

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng saw this scene and was immediately shocked, his Spiritual Power surged, ready to help at any moment.

However, Ning Fan’s voice came from within the black mist, "No need, I can handle these."

Zhuang Peng had no choice but to stop and nervously watch over the surging resentment.

Ning Fan, within it, was indeed struggling.

The vast resentment from the aggregation bore countless negative emotions, continuously bombarding his spirit.

Had his spiritual power not been strong enough, he would have been mentally devastated by these negative emotions by now.

As time passed, the vast resentment was gradually refined, and finally, in his palm, transformed into several dazzling Resentful Spirit Elixirs.

Compared with the previous Resentful Spirit Elixirs, the quality of these was evidently several levels higher.

Holding them in his palm, he could feel his spirit become several degrees sharper.

"I am starting to absorb."

Seeing Ning Fan had completed the elixir refinement, The Man in the Black Mist stepped forward to begin absorbing the residual resentment from the dispersed aggregation.

Ning Fan then handed the Resentful Spirit Elixirs to Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu, instructing them to consume them.

"Such powerful strength!"

Huang Gu, holding the Resentful Spirit Elixir, was instantly shocked by the power contained within.

He had been in Kunlun for many years and seen countless elixirs, yet he had never encountered one with such power.

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng was similarly shocked, but without hesitation, swallowed the elixir immediately.

The Resentful Spirit Elixir did not enhance Spiritual Power much, but it could significantly strengthen their spiritual power.

In the lower realm of the spirit world, it was spiritual power that could most effectively damage the resentful spirits, so at this time, enhancing spiritual power was undoubtedly the best aid for them.

While the two were absorbing the power of the Resentful Spirit Elixir, Ning Fan turned his gaze towards the direction where the Resentful Deity’s aura had exploded, his brow furrowing tightly.

According to The Man in the Black Mist, since the resentful spirits absorbed by the Resentful Deity were more or less the same, there wouldn’t be much disparity in strength during its birth.

But the previous Resentful Deity, even The Man in the Black Mist had remarked, had an astonishingly powerful force.

If nothing had gone wrong, it must have absorbed something besides the resentful spirits.

But what could there possibly be in the spirit lesser realm other than resentful spirits?

Ning Fan was not sure; he focused his senses to feel the power of the Resentful Deity, but discovered that things were starting to go awry.

As he continued to sense, the aura of the Resentful Deity also started to become clearer.

"Damn it! What are you doing?!"

The Man in the Black Mist’s cry of alarm suddenly jolted Ning Fan awake.

He dispersed his spiritual power, only to see The Man in the Black Mist’s face full of shock, eyes brimming with intense fear.

"What happened?" Ning Fan asked hastily.

The Man in the Black Mist, looking ahead, bit his molars hard, "Take a look for yourself!"

Following his gaze, Ning Fan saw that at some point, a black cloud had formed in the distance, wildly moving towards them.

But upon closer inspection, Ning Fan spotted something amiss.

"That’s not a cloud at all, it’s resentful spirits!"

The cloud-like mass of blackness was formed by countless resentful spirits, numbering in the thousands.

Ning Fan was nearly dumbfounded, "How could this be? Where did all these resentful spirits come from?"

The Man in the Black Mist’s body surged with black mist once again, "You’re asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask? The moment you stood there, those resentful spirits went crazy and charged towards you. What exactly did you do?"

Ning Fan was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I was just trying to probe the Resentful Deity with my spiritual power..."

The Man in the Black Mist nearly lost his mind, "You fool, don’t you know using spiritual power attracts resentful spirits! They are most sensitive to spiritual power; you are their food! Wouldn’t they charge over when they smell the food’s scent?"

Huang Gu didn’t get it, "But before, those things had no reaction to our spiritual power."

"Before, we were dealing with isolated foes. Now that these resentful spirits are aggregated, your release of spiritual power is no different than spilling blood into a shark swarm!"

Speaking so, The Man in the Black Mist had already enveloped his body in black mist, ready for combat.

Ning Fan made a swift decision, "Finish the absorption quickly, we’ll try to avoid them. If we can’t... we’ll have no choice but to fight."

Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu, not daring to delay, focused their minds to hasten the absorption of the Resentful Spirit Elixir.

In the world around them, the cloud-like resentful spirits were howling towards them, each one teeming with intense negative emotions.

"These resentful spirits come from where the Resentful Deity was born; they’re coming from the direction of the passageway entrance," The Man in the Black Mist exclaimed as if he had realized something, "We’ve got to break through! If we can make it there, we can reach the gateway!"

Hearing this, Ning Fan found himself trapped in a dilemma.
