NOVPUBWith Li Fan’s thunderous shout, a giant appeared in the deep and mysterious space, dwarving the Tianyang Puppet from before by dozens of times.
It was the Nascent Soul that Li Fan had transformed using nearly infinite Source Force of the Five Elements Cave Heaven!
If this giant were to appear in the Xuanhuang World, it would be enough to stand tall against Heaven and Earth, attracting the gaze of cultivators from all over the world.
Behind the giant’s head, the shadows of the Five Great Heavenly Voids faintly emerged, resembling five interconnected rings that made Li Fan’s Nascent Soul appear immensely sacred.
Compared to this giant, Tianyang was almost no different from an ant.
"Suppress!"
The giant looked down and extended its right index finger, pressing down hard on the top of Tianyang’s head.
With the finger hovering overhead, it seemed as though the sky was collapsing. The fingerprints on it also looked like layers of imprisoned spells aiming to suppress Tianyang in an instant.
For the first time, Tianyang tasted what he appeared like in the eyes of ordinary cultivators. Facing the giant’s towering strike, Tianyang wasn’t panicked.
His clothes moved without any wind, and the space around him underwent a strange twist.
Space bent like layers of waves, rippling outward from Tianyang as the origin.
As it progressed, Tianyang’s figure became increasingly blurry.
And within a moment, he had completely vanished from the scene!
Li Fan’s pressing finger hit nothing but air!
"Interesting! I used the Power of Five Elements, combined with an Array Technique to lock down the space, yet I still couldn’t stop you from escaping..."
The voice of Li Fan’s Nascent Soul boomed, as his gaze swept around incessantly.
Trying to find traces of Tianyang.
But Tianyang had vanished as if completely evaporated from the human realm, not even a trace of his aura fluctuating.
"Junior brother, don’t..."
Li Fan had only spoken halfway when Tianyang reappeared without warning, ghost-like, in front of the Nascent Soul’s head!
Coming out of nowhere, he pointed at the Nascent Soul’s brow from a distance.
It was like a drop of water falling into a calm pond, causing the head of the Nascent Soul to twist strangely.
And then it shattered with a thunderous crash!
Tianyang was about to withdraw his hand.
But the Nascent Soul, with its head shattered to pieces, was unaffected in its movements.
Its hands swiftly came together in front of its body, fingers twisted to form a cage.
The energy fragments of the head, as if alive, quickly converged toward them.
Outside the fingers’ cage, they instantly transformed into an Array Technique!
Tianyang was briefly taken aback.
Because he found that within this Array, he not only couldn’t break space to escape, but even the Space Folding technique he had just used lost its effect!
It was effective just a moment ago, but in the instant after exchanging blows, Li Fan had found a way to counter it with an Array!
What a genius!
Before Tianyang could reflect further, layer upon layer of Array Technique shadows kept emerging outside the ten-finger cage.
It was as if there was no limit at all; within mere breaths, the combined power of these Arrays had swollen to such an extent that even Tianyang of the Unity Realm felt compelled to take it seriously.
Of course, the cost was that Li Fan’s Nascent Soul, like a balloon with a burst, shrank in a flash.
Feeling the imminent threat of explosion at any moment around him, Tianyang dared not move.
Li Fan’s figure then appeared not far away, proudly boasting, "How about it, junior brother? Are you convinced?"
Tianyang nodded sullenly.
"Haha." Li Fan didn’t continue to make things difficult for Tianyang, and a blue light flashed in his eyes.
After that, he lightly pointed towards Tianyang’s location.
In an instant, the complex and incomprehensible Array that filled Tianyang’s sight was casually broken by Li Fan!
"I haven’t even started using my real skills yet. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if I hurt you." Looking at Tianyang’s somewhat unconvinced expression, Li Fan couldn’t help but stress.
"I... also." Tianyang managed to spit out these three words with some difficulty.
Once again looking at Li Fan, he took the initiative to request another battle.
```
"Eh!" Unexpectedly, Li Fan just waved his hand and refused.
"A friendly spar, stopping when a point is scored, is enough. As fellow disciples, surely, we don’t really need to fight to the death, do we?"
"No more fighting, no more fighting!" Li Fan said with a chuckle.
Tianyang had no choice but to accept, though somewhat reluctantly.
"Speaking of which, little junior brother, your power is also related to space. Not far ahead, there’s a Small World. Inside, there’s a kind of spirit scattered everywhere which might be of some help to you," Li Fan introduced the Yin Soul Realm to Tianyang.
Although Tianyang had already reached the Unity Realm, aside from the Power of Principle contained within the Essence of Heaven and Earth, his knowledge was not much different from that of a Body Transformation Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivator from a thousand years ago.
Naturally, he was puzzled by such strange phenomena.
But he always listened to Li Fan.
So the two continued deeper along the Space Tunnel.
They were now far from the Xuanhuang Mainland, and Li Fan no longer had any reservations.
The Seven-color Divine Light tore through the sky, covering vast distances in an instant.
Tianyang, skilled in the Power of Space, could also shrink distances dramatically, closely following behind.
Even though the two were moving so swiftly, the length of the Space Tunnel here still somewhat exceeded their expectations.
According to Li Fan’s calculations, they used almost more than a month’s time before they faintly sensed the presence of the Rift Realm Whale Swarm up ahead.
Li Fan stopped in his tracks.
Looking into the distance, he saw countless Rift Realm Whales, forming what seemed like a sea of whales, opening paths through the void in groups.
And these were only the ones visible on the outside.
In the pitch-black Void, it was unknown how many more Rift Realm Whales there might be.
The enormous collective aura emitted by the Rift Realm community caused even Li Fan’s complexion to slightly change.
"It has reached the tipping point where quantity turns into qualitative change."
"How can there be so many?"
Li Fan couldn’t help but turn his head towards the Yin Soul Realm, hidden not far away.
"Let’s go."
Transforming into a beam of Rainbow Light, Li Fan descended into the Small World in just a moment.
"Hiss..."
As soon as he landed, Li Fan couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
This place was just too cold.
Even the Spiritual Power within his body tended to freeze.
With the Power of Five Elements circulating, Li Fan tried to resist the severe cold here by transforming his Spiritual Power into the fire attribute.
But at the moment he did so,
a terrifyingly cold force emanated from within him for no reason.
In an instant, he turned into an ice sculpture, and then, with a Yin Wind blowing from some unknown origin, he shattered into numerous ice particles, scattering all over the ground.
A moment later, with a fluctuation, Li Fan’s body reappeared.
"Strange phenomena."
A look of keen interest appeared on his face.
Just now, the power that emerged along with his inner fire attribute was not heat,
but extreme cold.
This chill did not come from the outside but was inherently part of the fire attribute in this place.
"Senior brother, something’s not right here."
Tianyang, too, for once, spoke a complete sentence coherently.
His expression was grave.
"It feels like something is gnawing away at my power,"
"But I can’t find them,"
Tianyang continued to share his findings through a psychic message.
