NOVPUBAlthough it was just an Array Technique that Li Fan had recently deduced, it was tailor-made for the people of the Spirit Tree Realm. Using the Tianyang Immortal Puppet as the core, relying on its defense capability in the Immortal Realm, they maximized everyone else’s combat power.
This array also had an effect similar to that of Soul Burning, able to fully stimulate the potential of the cultivators within the array in a short time, albeit at the cost of burning the Divine Soul.
Before congregating to retreat, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan took one last glance at the Spirit Tree Realm.
"The next life will be better."
Then, without the slightest hint of nostalgia, he led everyone out of the Spirit Tree Realm.
They had expected to encounter the tight encirclement of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ forces. However, what Li Fan and the others did not expect was that outside the void of the Spirit Tree Realm, it was completely empty!
Yet, oddly enough, the lingering feeling of being watched all the time still existed in everyone’s hearts!
"Be careful!" The Daoist of the Hundred Blossoms was the first to speak up, warning everyone. Her face was deathly pale, and cold sweat was even streaming down her forehead. Even when facing Li Fan’s coercion before, she had never been so disheveled or out of sorts.
Because what she initially sensed from Li Fan was merely a pure intent to kill. But now...
"Pure evil..."
The members of the Medicine King Sect, including Liu Ruchen, were also on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy.
Although it appeared completely empty ahead, with no one defending it, they all simultaneously stopped their charge.
Including Li Fan at the lead.
Because their instincts told them that if they continued, they would die.
It was as if they were targeted by a natural predator, everyone’s bodies stiffened, daring not to make any sudden moves.
Just at that moment, Tianyang’s voice reached Li Fan’s ears.
"Ahead. Immortal Realm. Strange."
Brief and solemn.
When it fell into the ears of the Sacred Embryo Li Fan, it struck like thunder.
"Immortal Realm?"
"Has the law transmission arrived?"
His heart felt like it was tightly squeezed, and even the Li Fan hidden inside the Dark Prison became disordered in his breath.
"That’s right. The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had long known about the existence of the Immortal Realm in the United Federation of All Realms, and after the initial probing, they naturally wouldn’t send death wantonly but would directly use decisive force to settle it once and for all."
"But..."
"To take revenge for a few Dharma Transmitters personally? Isn’t that a bit too much of a fall from grace?"
Li Fan was clearly caught off guard by the appearance of the Celestial Dharma Bearer.
But following this, a myriad of doubts swirled in his mind.
Gauging from the Celestial Dharma Bearer’s previous attitude towards other Dharma Transmitters, it was clear he only saw them as tools. Perhaps he held some special regard for Dharma Transmitter Jiang, but for the other Dharma Transmitters, they might as well be no different from the common cultivators of the Xuanhuang World in His eyes.
Would the Law Transmission really personally appear to subjugate just for the sake of merely three Dharma Transmitters?
Li Fan definitely did not believe it.
Moreover, Li Fan had experienced the vast celestial power of the Celestial Dharma Bearer before. His aura was sacred, vast, and unfathomably deep.
It definitely had nothing to do with the prevailing "evil" surrounding them!
"If not Law Transmission, then who could it be?"
There were only a few Celestial Sovereigns in the Xuanhuang World.
Eliminating the five Heavenly Sovereigns from the Five Elders Organization, it could not be someone who had just realized the Way either.
As his thoughts raced, a name almost pushed to the depths of his memory and nearly forgotten, suddenly surfaced in Li Fan’s mind.
Eastern Supreme Celestial!
The Eastern Supreme Celestial, records about Him, even if one scoured all the books of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, amounted to just a few sentences.
His life seemed deliberately erased by someone. The only thing known was that the [Pool of Spiritual Cleansing] currently used by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to remove the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma from mortals’ bodies was His invention.
Beyond that, there was nothing else.
A Celestial Sovereign of immortality, and besides the Celestial Dharma Bearer, the only Sovereign in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
It was indeed bizarre and hard to fathom.
If it were not His personal request, then the events that transpired with Him are indeed worth pondering.
Moreover, the Immortal Sovereign of the Xuanhuang World was known for his path that defied reason.
Only this Eastern Supreme Celestial seemed to be just his name.
...
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.
The surrounding malevolent intentions also launched an attack on the people of the Spirit Tree Realm.
The celestial power of the Heavenly Sovereigns was truly different from that of ordinary cultivators.
The Tianyang Immortal Puppet, originally radiating a pure white light, suddenly seemed to be tainted with an ominous aura. The light flickered uncertainly, and Tianyang’s expression was stern, as if struggling against that aura. Black spots stained the surface of the puppet body here and there.
The attack by the evil aura bypassed Li Fan’s array protection and simultaneously struck every individual in the Spirit Tree Realm.
Not everyone possessed the means to resist the Immortal Sovereign. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
In the blink of an eye, they were eroded.
Li Fan also saw the fate of those completely tainted by the evil aura.
The pupils vanished, and the eye sockets were pitch black.
At the same time, they launched attacks on their comrades nearby, clearly having lost their own will.
Almost instantly, the team from the Spirit Tree Realm was thrown into disarray and showed signs of collapse.
Yet the enemy hidden in the darkness still did not show itself.
"Is this the true battle strength of the Immortal Sovereign?"
"Defeat is acceptable, but not even seeing His true face..."
In the midst of the chaos, Li Fan’s expression remained utterly unflustered as he looked towards Tianyang.
A dazzling crimson suddenly surged from within Tianyang’s body.
Like a great sun in the sky, it lit up the surrounding dark space.
"Tianyang’s lifetime..."
"Is second to none!"
The body of the Tianyang Immortal Puppet instantly expanded a millionfold. Like a fire giant who could split heaven and earth, he stood in the dark void.
Rings of Crimson Flames erupted from his body, continuously spreading outwards.
All set to burn the entire space to ashes.
Under the scorching of the Tianyang Raging Flames, the allies from the Spirit Tree Realm were completely unharmed.
Those cultivators eroded by the evil aura screamed shrilly in agony, turning to black ash.
And the chief culprit, always hidden in the darkness, was finally forced to reveal himself!
The sight before him made Li Fan’s eyes narrow slightly.
A tall, naked man stood out of nowhere.
His hair long down to his ankles, his body carved with black, evil-emanating tattoos.
Behind the naked man, countless threads could also be vaguely seen emerging from the void, deeply embedding into the man’s body.
The naked man’s eyes were pitch black, expressionless, just like those cultivators whose minds had been controlled.
"Immortal Sovereign, a puppet on a string..."
This strange scene sent an uncontrollable chill through everyone in the Spirit Tree Realm.
And Li Fan involuntarily took in a sharp breath.
"This is..."
"The Eastern Supreme Celestial who mysteriously disappeared, has actually become like this?"
"Though he has not died, he’s living a fate worse than death..."
"Who did this?"
"Those Dharma Transmitters from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals definitely don’t have this ability."
"The only possibility is Law Transmission!"
In the Dark Prison, Li Fan involuntarily clenched his fists.
