My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1220 - 1173: The Sword Star Appears in Broad Daylight
Having finished performing in front of Shang Shaojun, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan then turned his full attention to observing the changes occurring outside the Dustcrosser Boat.
At this moment, the Dustcrossar Boat had already flown near the edge of the world.
The entire Xuanhuang World lay beneath, in full view without a single detail obscured.
Li Fan had once observed the Xuanhuang World from this perspective. However, at that time, just like what he had seen in the Long-Distance Teleportation Array, the world shrouded in a layer of hazy yellow light, resembled a huge ball of light. The details of the scenery above the earth, the interior of the world, were utterly indistinct.
But now, with the vast suction force from the depths of the Star Sea affecting it, that layer of faint yellow light had been partially peeled away.
Revealing the true appearance of the world hidden underneath.
The Sacred Embryo Li Fan saw the distorted White Mist Barrier, and...
"Monsters sewn together from limbs and flesh."
These words couldn’t help but suddenly emerge in Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.
Even from above the nine heavens, one could make out the subtle differences between different regions. Living beings within the state regions might find it difficult to discern, but from a vantage point outside the Xuanhuang World, the discordance was instantly noticeable.
The Sacred Embryo Li Fan quickly snapped out of his slight daze.
The Dustcrosser Boat emitted creaking noises, a sure sign of being subjected to intense external compressive forces.
The Sacred Embryo Li Fan showed no trace of fear, ignoring everything and even accelerating the Dustcrosser Boat’s speed once more.
Completely breaking away from the Xuanhuang World, he felt the surrounding suddenly darken.
Like at dusk, when the sun instantaneously dips below the horizon.
Gloomy, icy, deathly silence...
All these sensations flooded into the heart of the Sacred Embryo Li Fan.
The Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra automatically circulated to protect Li Fan from these negative emotions.
"Even with the puppet’s synchronous sensations and the residual effects of the Medicine King Cauldron, none compares to the reality of the present moment," Li Fan thought.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly turned his head.
In that instant, an inexplicable sense of insecurity had arisen in his heart. It was as if something might appear behind him at any moment and deliver a fatal blow. Even though his Divine Sense scanning had made it clear there was no danger behind him, a persistent feeling urged him to look back, to see with his own eyes.
Only when he confirmed that there were no imagined dangers did the sense of unease in his heart slowly subside.
By now, the slight creaking sound of the Dustcrosser Boat had turned into a thunderous roar.
It was as if countless Ancient Fierce Beasts were constantly battering against the hull, cracks beginning to appear on the boat.
The engravings of the Array Technique also showed signs of breaking apart.
The Sacred Embryo Li Fan was already prepared to abandon the boat.
Ninety-nine Daoist Sword Shadows suddenly appeared at his side, encircling and whirling around him. They cut out a buffered zone of absolute space.
The body of the Sacred Embryo Li Fan also withered slowly, the flesh color no longer present. Instead, it turned into a strange metallic luster.
Although the immense force from the depths of the Star Sea indeed influenced the suction force of the Immortal Ruins,
the Immortal Ruins were still playing on home ground, and some time had passed since the anomaly occurred, considerably weakening the unknown force of the Star Sea.
Therefore, the Dustcrosser Boat did not drift toward the depths of the Star Sea like the previously arranged Stone Puppet.
But inevitably, it slowly fell towards the Immortal Ruins.
However...
Whether it was the curvature of the trajectory change or the magnitude of the speed change,
these all differed vastly from when Li Fan took the initiative to charge into the Immortal Ruins with the Medicine King Cauldron.
"My guess was indeed correct! It truly is a rare opportunity to break free from the Xuanhuang World!"
As the Dustcrosser Boat was about to completely shatter, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan no longer hesitated.
"Ten thousand swords as one with me!"
Indistinct shadows of countless rusty swords from the Sword Tomb faintly appeared behind him, and a moment later, these sword shadows all melted into his body.
The dark Void around the Dustcrosser Boat was illuminated, and a blinding white light surged from Li Fan’s body.
Completely engulfing his body.
Man and sword became one.
Then, as if splitting heaven and earth, a splendid Sword Light flashed out in an instant.
The Dustcrosser Boat was swallowed by the Sword Light, disappearing without a trace.
However, the White Sword Light turned away from the Immortal Ruins, resolutely heading toward the depths of the Star Sea!
This streak of Sword Light was so bright, so dazzling.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
It even created a Star of the Daylight in the sky of the Xuanhuang World Heaven below, capable of contending with the sun’s brilliance for an instant.
At this moment, countless cultivators cast their gazes towards the location of the Sacred Embryo Li Fan.
And Shang Shaojun was instantly lost in thought, his heart aching with a sense of loss.
The unstoppable Sword Light surged forward swiftly.
The Sacred Embryo Li Fan felt the constraints of the Immortal Ruins weakening progressively.
The reason this was so smooth was not only because he had transformed into the Black Sword Sky Oddity and launched an ultimate strike, but more importantly, it was also due to the influence of that mysterious force in the depths of the Star Sea.
Once out of the Xuanhuang World, there was no interference from the various laws within the world.
Thus, he could sense the remaining power in the Void more clearly.
"Unlike the eternal suction force of the Ruins of Immortality, this Star Sea’s Force is like the tides, intermittent and rolling endlessly."
Sacred Embryo Li Fan felt waves of vast power coming forth, even giving rise to the illusion that at this moment, he was piloting a One-Leaf Flat Boat on the tempestuous ocean, bobbing with the waves.
"Hmm? Is that the Stone Puppet I placed before?"
Not long after proceeding through the Void, Sacred Embryo Li Fan felt the previously severed connection once more.
But what caused Li Fan’s heart to skip a beat was the fact that not all of the Puppets were intact.
At least a third of the Puppets had disappeared for unknown reasons!
"It’s possible that they were unfortunate and failed to successfully escape the shackles of the Immortal Ruins."
"But it’s also possible..."
The Sacred Embryo Li Fan was speeding up towards the location of the Puppets.
But suddenly, he subconsciously slowed down.
Because just now, among the surviving seventy-four Puppets, another one inexplicably disappeared!
Right in the midst of his detection, under his surveillance! It vanished without a trace!
And Li Fan had no clue at all how that Puppet had disappeared!
"Indeed, the Abyss Star Ocean is fraught with danger."
A chill suddenly surged up in Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s heart.
Controlling the speed of his own flight, he let the remaining seventy-three Puppets take the lead, while Li Fan followed at a distance.
And what followed, the Puppets that disappeared suddenly from time to time, revealed to Li Fan the treacherous nature of the Void in the Abyss Star Ocean.
As more Puppets disappeared, Li Fan slowly came back to his senses.
"These Puppets don’t seem to have been attacked by some unknown being, rather, it’s the areas they passed through that were not right."
"There..."
"Even space itself no longer existed. Only pure void remained."
"Like a series of pitch-black, bottomless caverns on a flat road, a careless step would lead to a fate where one would disappear without a trace, dead or alive."
While Li Fan pondered, another Puppet disappeared.
Only sixty-one Puppets remained.
