NOVPUBNinety Sky Patrol Arrows, only half of which were actual physical objects with lethal power.
As for the other half, they were merely illusions created by array techniques, all bluster and no substance.
However, the Treemen of the Spirit Tree Realm had already been terrified by the destructive power displayed by the previous Sky Patrol Arrow and were completely unable to distinguish the real from the fake.
The Central Giant Tree was closely related to the Spirit Tree Realm.
If the tree thrived, the realm prospered; if the tree perished, the realm would perish as well.
The huge hole in the trunk of the giant tree made the Treeman Clan unable to muster even the slightest desire to resist.
The Tree Man Female Clan Chief led all her clanspeople to kneel in humiliating submission before the Da Xuan Forbidden Army.
Afterward, Sun Erlang, following the orders of the Heavenly Emperor, engraved layers of array formations on the heart of the giant tree.
He didn’t know the meaning behind these array formations, but carrying out orders was the heavenly duty of the Da Xuan Forbidden Army.
Despite being at the peak of Golden Core Perfection, Sun Erlang found activating the array somewhat strenuous.
And he also had to be on guard against any backlash from the Treeman Clan.
Fortunately, the deterrent power of the Sky Patrol Arrows was too potent, and in the end, the Treeman Clan did not dare to make a desperate last stand.
Once the array was completed, a brilliant green light erupted from the heart of the giant tree.
The wounds of the Spirit Tree began to heal slowly, and a figure emerged from within the light.
"The Spirit of the Giant Tree…" Sun Erlang mused thoughtfully.
As he had assumed, the Spirit of the Giant Tree did not side with the Treemen.
Instead, it communicated telepathically with Sun Erlang, "Are you Brother Sun? The teacher has instructed you to leave half of the Forbidden Army here to assist with the array construction."
"By the way, my name is Lin Ling."
Lin Ling transmitted a segment of imagery, and when Sun Erlang heard the familiar voice of the Heavenly Emperor in the scene, he nodded slightly.
Without losing a single soldier, and using just one Sky Patrol Arrow, Sun Erlang had successfully conquered the Spirit Tree Realm. However, he knew well that this had nothing to do with the military strength of the Da Xuan Forbidden Army. It was all due to the terrifying power of the Sky Patrol Arrow that could be described as devastating to heaven and earth.
Sun Erlang shook his head slightly, dispelling the sense of dejection in his heart. He then led the remaining troops toward the next target, the Small World.
"Da Li? Hmph…" A glint of murderous intent flashed in Sun Erlang’s eyes.
…
After the Da Xuan Forbidden Army left, Lin Ling, using the Array Techniques taught by Li Fan, began to supervise the construction by the Treeman Clan.
Lin Ling didn’t have much sentiment for these Tree People.
Instead, Li Fan, who had preached to him, instructed him, and resolved his doubts at the moment of his birth, was the person Lin Ling felt closest to in this world.
"The Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth?"
"On the day the formation is complete, it will be able to open a channel to the teacher’s world. It will also increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Spirit Tree Realm and elevate the world."
"First complete the construction of the basic array, and the rest of the key materials will be sent by the Da Xuan Forbidden Army later."
Thinking of the Array Techniques explained by Li Fan and recalling the promise that only by completing the construction of the Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth could he have the opportunity to go before Da Xuan, Lin Ling couldn’t help feeling extremely motivated and urged those stolid Tree People onward once more.
…
Da Xuan.
Sensing the somewhat blurry imagery transmitted from the Spirit Tree Realm, Li Fan nodded to himself.
Although this life he had planned to return to truth in the Ghost Realm, using the Power of Darkness to reduce the Faceless True Immortal’s perception,
Li Fan was also unable to predict how much reduction this method would achieve.
Therefore, constructing the "All Spirits of Heaven and Earth, All Living Beings Refining God" array was essential as a precaution.
If seeing the scene of countless living beings falling at once made Li Fan feel disturbed the first time,
Then the second, and every subsequent time…
Li Fan truly faced no psychological pressure whatsoever.
He reined in his mind and looked at the nominal second disciple before him.
Wang Xuanba.
Unlike Sun Erlang, Li Fan had not passed on the new cultivation methods to him.
Instead, he had taught Wang Xuanba the Creation Furnace Skill he developed himself.
This version had undergone a heaven-overturning earth-upending change from the initial one, which merely crudely leveraged the human body’s hidden capacities to brutally enhance its flesh.
In his previous life, after receiving guidance from the Celestial Doctor and integrating "The Immortal Scripture of the Heavenly Physician" and the "Sky Mending Record", Li Fan gained a new understanding of how to stimulate the potential of the human body.
However, to turn theory into practice, he still needed to experiment a bit.
Wang Xuanba’s unique physique was the perfect subject for this experiment.
"Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth, on the brink of destruction, burst forth with myriad mysterious transformations."
"People should do the same."
"Under normal circumstances, the human body is in a state of balance. It is only when foreign objects invade or the body endures a fatal crisis that it will tap into its potential."
Before Li Fan, the seventeen-year-old Wang Xuanba lay with closed eyes in a deep slumber.
He had already grown close to three Zhang in height, with bulging muscles all over his body, and his skin covered with a layer of gold, armor-like keratin.
Although he still retained some human physical characteristics, at a glance, he appeared more akin to an ancient fierce beast.
"Eighteen types of exotic beast flesh and blood have already been implanted in him, of which only seven have been assimilated by him. The rest have all encountered severe rejection reactions; had I not intervened, he would probably be dead from bloodline exhaustion right now."
"However, as his physique grows stronger, perhaps we can try once more."
Thinking this, Li Fan injected a clump of Heavenly Silk Fox flesh and blood into Wang Xuanba’s body.
The single-minded amplification of strength seemed to make Wang Xuanba’s physique develop somewhat disproportionately, on the brink of collapse. He needed to enhance his agility aspect.
Li Fan was keen to see the limits of a human’s physical body.
...
Da Li Realm.
The conquest of Da Li was even easier than the Spirit Tree Realm.
Without even needing to deploy the Sky Patrol Arrow, just the sight of the Da Xuan Forbidden Army flying overhead was enough to make the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Capital City kneel on the ground.
Adhering to the principle that there should only be one emperor, the Heavenly Emperor, Sun Erlang showed no mercy in executing the Emperor of Da Li.
He then appointed King Zhen Nan, Xiao Tianyu, as the agent.
As the Saint Emperor Seat appeared throughout Da Li, people quickly accepted the reality of a sudden change of dynasty.
And the existence of the Heavenly Emperor.
Da Li gradually began to transform into a Small World rich in Spiritual Energy.
Anchor 8 years.
"85%."
"It’s actually slower than before."
"Is it because of my current physical state?"
Li Fan, staring at the number on the Even True panel, was lost in thought.
In three years, as realms such as the Spirit Tree Realm, beast species, and the Da Li Realm, among many Small Worlds, were integrated into the territory of Da Xuan, his Imperial Air Canon had successfully advanced to the third layer.
The Qi Destiny of Da Xuan was like a morning sun rising, radiating fierce red light and a thriving vitality.
And the actual combat power he could display was also equivalent to the level of a God Transformation at the beginning stage in the Xuanhuang World.
However, Li Fan had already felt the bottleneck of the Imperial Air Canon.
To advance to the fourth layer, to the Purple Energy Realm,
Given the current rate of progress, it would probably take several decades before it could be thought of.
