"At this point, a significant distance still separates us from the border of Jiushan Province. There isn’t enough time to escape to a safe place."
"The reason Jiushan Province lacks any law transmission arrays is that the spatial structure here is extremely unstable. Initiating a teleportation on one’s own will not only fail to reach the intended destination, but one may also be randomly teleported to other places. One could even become lost in the void..."
"But there is still hope of survival..."
Zhao Xian’s thoughts rapidly turned, and his body instinctively reacted.
He activated the random teleportation array diagram from within his storage ring.
The surrounding scenery twisted and blurred.
After a brief spell of dizziness, Zhao Xian had escaped from Jiushan Province and arrived at an unfamiliar location.
However, the scene before him brought him no joy of having escaped death.
Rather, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his mind going blank.
It seemed as though he was floating high above, looking down at the Xuanhuang World.
Thousands of black dots densely appeared on the earth below.
They resembled dark abysses, consuming everything around them.
The entire world seemed about to be torn apart by these black dots, turning into curled scraps of paper.
The cultivators on the ground, no matter how they struggled, could not endure even a moment in this black domain.
They transformed into twisted rays of light, vanishing into the black dots.
...
"Could it be that this disaster isn’t only happening in Jiushan Province?"
"What is this?"
"Is the apocalypse upon us, and the world about to be destroyed?" Zhao Xian was stunned.
But soon, his attention was drawn away by another spectacular sight that brilliantly reflected the apocalyptic scenery.
Above the Xuanhuang World, shredded into thousands of distorted pieces of paper in an instant, an image appeared as if countless colors had been splashed onto it haphazardly.
In this ink painting, countless scenes transformed rapidly at every moment.
And in front of this strange painting stood a figure with hands behind his back.
Seemingly sensing Zhao Xian’s distant gaze, the figure turned around.
Before Zhao Xian could see the person’s face clearly, his body and divine soul exploded into countless pieces under the unbearable pressure.
He died a gruesome death.
"Hmm?"
Moments later, Li Fan had already grasped why this unfortunate soul had come here.
He shook his head slightly, no longer concerned about him, and instead focused on the myriad heavenly and earthly changes erupting before him in the Xuanhuang World.
These numerous black dots were naturally borne from the effects of his End of The World Plan, the bait puppets flying toward the Immortal Ruins, and the triggered immortal power.
The power of the Deserted Dao Immortals, connected by these puppets, was transmitted into the Xuanhuang World.
Causing an endless apocalyptic disaster.
As Li Fan had anticipated, the moment the immortal power of the ruins emerged, it triggered an automatic reaction from the Faceless True Immortal statues he had arranged nearby.
These Faceless True Immortal statues lacked physical bodies; they were purely condensed from the essence of the Faceless True Immortal’s source power.
When the world-ending power of the ruins swept towards them,
An indescribable force mysteriously emerged from the essence of the source power.
It was like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, or as if a flower was bearing fruit.
The essence of source power melted away like ice and snow, vanishing completely. In its place was a power beyond the comprehension of mortals, colliding with the power of the immortal ruins.
It was like two colossal waves crashing against each other, stirring up thousands of splashes.
In an instant, the Xuanhuang World was torn into thousands of pieces.
But it seemed that it was precisely this wrestling between the two forces that prevented the already deeply scarred Xuanhuang World from being destroyed immediately.
"It seems my worries were unnecessary."
"The Faceless True Immortal seems not to have noticed my presence."
Li Fan thought to himself.
"Extract the pith of Heaven and Earth to gain its power."
Muttering to himself, he absorbed all of the strange ink painting into the illusory shadow of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven behind him.
Before Li Fan, scenes of the Xuanhuang World’s past, present, and its future trajectory as it would have occurred naturally, unfolded like a revolving lantern.
Beyond that, Li Fan also sensed an immensely strong desire to survive.
The images in the vortex spun rapidly, as if something was about to be born from within.
Upon closer reflection, Li Fan astonishingly perceived the Xuanhuang World’s intention to seek cooperation.
"The world is about to die, yet it is no different from a person."
"Even though it has detected my tampering with the Heavenly Dao, for a possible sliver of hope, it not only refrained from blaming me but also wished to cooperate..."
"This is something I hadn’t anticipated."
Li Fan snorted coldly and did not accept the request of the Xuanhuang World.
Nor did he directly refuse.
Instead, he accelerated the extraction of the pith of Heaven and Earth. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
As countless changes of life merged into his body, the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven also began undergoing ground-shaking transformations.
In stark contrast to the Xuanhuang World, which had reached the apocalypse, the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven displayed an unprecedented flourishing scene.
The Cycle of Five Elements started to converge.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth unified, and the barriers within the individual cave heavens gradually disappeared.
A new world filled with infinite vitality was forming.
...
At this moment, just as Li Fan was about to successfully enter the God Transformation Realm, he inexplicably sensed a hint of danger.
A beam of light appeared out of nowhere and arrived in an instant.
"No!"
Upon recognizing the current state of the Xuanhuang World, a roar of anger burst forth.
In an instant, it crossed vast distances in space and locked onto Li Fan.
When their eyes met, both individuals appeared somewhat startled.
What shocked Li Fan was that he had thought it would be Law Transmission returning.
But unexpectedly, the figure that appeared this time...
was the Celestial Doctor.
And the Celestial Doctor was shocked because he couldn’t understand why Li Fan, the nominal last successor of the Heavenly Law Realm, would be here.
Moreover, he was mercilessly extracting the pith of the Xuanhuang World Heaven and Earth.
"You’ve returned quite swiftly," Li Fan muttered to himself in his heart.
"Even True."
Li Fan did not hesitate at all and immediately recited silently in his heart.
Influenced by the Celestial Immortal Force, Li Fan sensed that the bindings of the True Immortal’s Net on him had already loosened.
The Celestial Doctor had also noticed him.
Therefore, without further greed, he directly initiated Even True.
Immediately, the surroundings began to dissolve into nothingness.
It was at this moment that Li Fan distinctly saw the shock on the Celestial Doctor’s face and the sudden burst of light from his cloudy eyes.
"What did he discover?" Li Fan thought anxiously to himself.
But the surroundings had almost become still.
Even someone as powerful as the Celestial Doctor seemed incredibly slow in Li Fan’s eyes.
A thick fog enveloped all the scenes.
All things in the world were about to change from real to false, from solid to void.
It was then...
that in the myriad black dots of the Xuanhuang World, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth.
The Celestial Immortal Force, capable of easily tearing apart the Xuanhuang World, was forcefully suppressed at that moment.
In all the frozen scenes, this radiance alone was the least affected.
Even in Li Fan’s view, it still moved in slow motion.
But still, it surged toward Li Fan with great speed.
"Faceless True Immortal!"
Li Fan’s heart suddenly felt as if it were tightly clutched by a hand.
The threat of the Celestial Doctor was instantly cast to the back of his mind.
"After all, he has discovered me..."
"All Spirits of Heaven and Earth, All Living Beings Refine God!"
A massive blood-red net spread around Li Fan.
Layer upon layer, densely packed.
It seemed to be comprised of countless fierce human faces.
The red giant net, originating from Li Fan, expanded crazily around him.
Within the net, trillions of living beings let out cries of anguish as they faced death.
The dazzling light ignored the red giant net, steadfastly moving toward Li Fan.
Li Fan had never felt that the activation of Even True was so slow.
Seeing that dazzling white light about to reach him,
his body involuntarily stiffened and grew cold.
Even his thoughts couldn’t help but freeze.
Fortunately...
The red giant net did have some delaying effect.
Just as the dazzling light locked onto Li Fan,
Li Fan successfully activated Even True.
All the scenes started to seem illusory.
The only exception was that dazzling white light, which remained brilliant.
...
Anchor for 1 year.
At the peak of Dissociative Mountain.
Li Fan, who had narrowly escaped death, was soaked in sweat and breathed heavily.
"Is this the might of the True Immortal?"
"Trillions of the wills of living beings, so pale and powerless before it."
Li Fan was thinking about this when he suddenly felt something odd about his body.
At the moment, he was not using his eyes to see because...
Li Fan reached out and touched his own face, and his body trembled slightly.
His face had disappeared.
