NOVPUBUpon the sight of the black-haired, crimson-bodied man, Li Fan was almost certain of his identity.
It had to be the mysteriously vanished Eastern Supreme Celestial, without a doubt.
Yet such a dignified Immortal Sovereign had been turned into an existence similar to a puppet controlled by strings.
How could this not instill fear in one’s heart?
"No wonder there is almost no information to be found about the Eastern Pole, even through Morubin, who obtained the complete memories of the Dharma Transmitter through soul snatching, or through the Tianxuan Mirror, it’s the same."
"It’s also no wonder that the Heavenly Sovereign took action, yet the cultivators from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals all withdrew. Such a secret is too appalling. If they didn’t leave, they likely would have faced no other fate than being silenced."
Although controlled by someone else, the instincts of the Eastern Supreme Celestial still seemed to be present.
Facing the Crimson Flames burst forth by Tianyang, who had the same Immortal Realm combat power, the hair on his back suddenly grew longer, turning into massive beasts of darkness that extinguished the flames.
Tianyang didn’t hesitate for a moment, and with a fluctuation of space, he instantly appeared beside the Eastern Supreme Celestial.
In front of the colossal figure of the Primordial Giant, the Eastern Supreme looked like mere ants.
The crimson flames burning on Tianyang’s body seemed almost capable of distorting the surrounding space with their heat, yet the Eastern Supreme remained completely unaffected.
As if he existed independently of the space itself.
His lips parted slightly, as if he spoke something. Suddenly, without warning, a large chunk of Tianyang’s body caved in. The puppet’s body shook violently.
Tianyang let out an angry roar, his body returning to its original state.
Then, with a loud bang, he exploded into countless sparks, scattering and surging towards the black-haired Eastern Supreme.
Fire dragons, consuming everything.
The countless black hairs that had split from the body of the Eastern Supreme began to burn as well. The flames spread toward his original body.
Just then, the pitch-black pupils of the Eastern Supreme shifted slightly.
Those black hair monsters that had already turned to flying ashes miraculously reappeared from the flames.
Even as Tianyang’s Crimson Flames burned them several times over, they always managed to resurrect.
If even his incarnate hairs couldn’t be destroyed completely, the Eastern Supreme’s own body was even less likely to be harmed.
Though Tianyang roared unwillingly.
He couldn’t change this fact.
"Tianyang possesses the power of the Immortal Realm, but it was forcibly transformed through the Essence of Source Power. He lacks the Divine Techniques truly possessed by those in the Immortal Realm. He has no pressure when bullying Integration Cultivators, but against a true Immortal Sovereign..."
"He’s simply no match," Li Fan murmured to himself, shaking his head slightly.
"Moreover, this Eastern Supreme Celestial doesn’t seem weak at all. The oppressive feeling he gives me is even stronger than Sister Zhao’s."
During the recent battle between the two of the Immortal Realm, Li Fan could vaguely sense the workings of the Principle of Heaven and Earth.
Especially when those black hair monsters were resurrecting from the flames, it was particularly intense.
"Is this the Principle that the Eastern Pole defies?"
After pondering, Li Fan had a faint idea.
"The reversal of the principle behind the development and change of things?"
"Is this why the Celestial Dharma Bearer went to such lengths against the Eastern Pole?"
"If the Eastern Pole fully ascertains the Dao, it’s very possible that he could directly reverse the rules set by the Dharma of the Xuanhuang World..."
With Li Fan’s frequent attempts to peer into the Heavenly Dao, his sharp perception of the Principle of Heaven and Earth was almost second to none among Integration Cultivators.
This close and detailed observation should not yield any inaccuracies in his deductions.
"To create a [Pool of Spiritual Cleansing] for mortals, this Eastern Pole must be a figure similar to Mr. Bai. It’s just a pity..."
"Not only forgotten by the world, he himself languishes worse than dead, reduced to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ final trump card as a puppet." Li Fan shook his head slightly.
"This is the end of the weak. But it will never be my destination."
"Celestial Dharma Bearer..."
"Hmph."
The battle between Tianyang and the Eastern Supreme was something the people of the Spirit Tree Realm could not intervene in.
Even if they wanted to help, they were powerless.
Even collaborating as a group, amplified by Li Fan’s Array Technique, was to no avail.
```
They were still far from the battlefield of the two combatants, yet the residual shockwaves of the battle caused their spiritual power to roil and their breaths to become disordered.
"Is this the Immortal Realm?"
The crowd had complex expressions on their faces.
Despair also surged in the depths of their eyes.
For the Sacred Embryo, Li Fan, his heart remained undisturbed as he made accurate judgments.
"Although Tianyang is still holding on, the outcome is already determined."
"It seems we can’t escape, but being able to witness the deepest secret of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is definitely worth it."
"It’s just unknown who is manipulating the Eastern Supreme Celestial from behind, is it the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ Dharma Transmitter Jiang, or that Emperor Tri-Moa?"
Tianyang, gradually falling into a losing position, had been alerted by Li Fan’s warning.
He then tried to launch an attack on those thousands of invisible threads behind Eastern Supreme Celestial.
Attempting to find out information about the secret manipulator behind.
Regrettably, the power of these invisible threads was clearly a notch above the Immortal Sovereign of the Eastern Pinnacle.
How could Tianyang possibly uncover the full extent?
An exercise in futility, Tianyang let out another unwilling roar of rage.
...
Within the Dark Prison.
Sensing the complete loss of contact from the Sacred Embryo side,
the true self of Li Fan, who had been somewhat leisurely and content, couldn’t help but feel somewhat heavy-hearted for a time.
The total defeat of the Spirit Tree Realm spelled out how vast the gap was between the high-end forces of the Xuanhuang World.
What concerned Li Fan more, however, was the secret information hidden behind this.
"To be able to render the mighty Immortal Realm so helpless..."
"I had already had infinite, as high as possible expectations of the power of the Dharma Transmission. But now it seems, the power of the Law Transmission is even more terrifying than I imagined."
"Even if he has not ascended to immortality, he’s probably infinitely close."
"He can no longer be assessed by the [Immortal] Realm standards."
"If he is in the Xuanhuang World..."
Li Fan’s brow furrowed tightly, "he might even have the ability to save the Xuanhuang World in the tug of war between two True Immortals."
"Hmm... indeed, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
"It seems that my End of The World Plan for this life will have to be postponed a bit longer."
"Fortunately, time passes quickly in this Dark Prison."
Finally, Li Fan’s complex mood gradually calmed down.
As he reviewed the various experiences of this life, Li Fan prepared for the ultimate plan.
Time flew by, and it’s unknown how much time had passed.
The arrival of a new prisoner in the Dark Prison startled Li Fan from his seclusion.
Both arms amputated, he was left with only one eye.
The newcomer looked utterly miserable, with disheveled hair and a face covered with dried blood.
But it was an old acquaintance of Li Fan’s.
Kou Hong.
His brother, Dao Xuanzi, who was always inseparably by his side, was nowhere to be seen for some reason.
Even while being escorted, Kou Hong remained unyielding.
He continued to curse and express his hatred for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
After listening for a while, Li Fan finally understood.
It turned out that ever since the headquarters of the United Federation of All Realms in the Spirit Tree Realm was uprooted, those scattered members of the Union had also been mercilessly hunted down.
