"Boom!"
Li Fan felt as if his Divine Soul were instantly immersed in magma.
The intense heat seemed to thoroughly burn through his Divine Soul.
Enveloped in endless light, Li Fan felt his Divine Soul dissolving and vanishing at a terrifying speed.
Yet, correspondingly, his burning soul transformed into a mysterious nourishment.
The Five Elements Great Cave Heaven trembled slightly, followed by a layer of blood-colored radiance emerging in each of the Cave Heaven worlds.
This made the Scenery of the Five Elements appear bewitchingly beautiful.
Under this crimson glow, numerous Strange Phenomena were born in the firmament of the Cave Heaven.
What was more terrifying was that within the Cave Heaven, the flow of the Power of Five Elements sped up nearly two-fold in a flash. And this wild catalyzing effect, like having no limits, further accelerated the burning of Li Fan’s Divine Soul!
A sense of lethal crisis surged in his heart. Li Fan understood that if he didn’t perform Even True before his Divine Soul was completely consumed, he would truly die!
Suppressing the impulse to use "Even True," Li Fan silently began practicing the [Technique of Endless Duality].
An invisible vortex appeared at the intersection of the Five Elements Cave Heaven. A vast amount of violent Power of Five Elements was being evenly extracted.
Unity of Five Elements. In the Void, the power of Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness was born.
What was like an exposed seabed after the tide receded, in an instant, was again overwhelmed by surging waters.
Li Fan’s Divine Soul, which had already vanished in part, re-emerged, nourished by this power of Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness!
Although it was quickly burned to exhaustion by the "Soul Burning" Secret Technique, the force of the Five Elements—Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness—was unending, making that part of the Divine Soul grow back like uncontrollable weeds, impossible to fully burn away!
Because of the effect of the Soul Burning Secret Technique, Li Fan’s exterior was also shrouded in a faint blood light.
He looked fiercely imposing, which was shocking to the heart.
After some time, Li Fan gradually adapted to the constant changes of his Divine Soul under the states of Soul Burning and Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness.
Upon inspection, not only had the power he could call upon nearly doubled, but his thoughts were also much more agile.
The amplification brought about by burning the Divine Soul was all-encompassing!
"And this is just from burning the outermost layer of the Divine Soul, if I continue using the more concentrated, pure parts of the Divine Soul as fuel..."
"The amplification effect will double again!"
Li Fan closed his eyes and sensed for a moment.
"With my current recovery speed of the Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness Method, I can permanently maintain the initial stage of the Soul Burning state."
"Maintaining the middle stage Soul Burning for a long time might cause some damage to the Divine Soul. Afterwards, it would require some time to slowly recover."
"Extreme Soul Fire..."
"There’s no need for that."
Li Fan, now swollen with power, once again felt the itch to fight.
At the thought, Tianyang flashed into existence before him, his eyes brimming with battle intent.
Through the newly accessed entrance of the Yin Soul Realm Avenue, Li Fan and Tianyang reappeared in the empty corridor of the Void.
With no more concerns, Tianyang took the initiative to attack.
Ever since his last defeat at the hands of his senior brother, he had been thinking about turning the tables.
Unfortunately, Li Fan had always avoided battle.
Now that he finally had another chance, Tianyang also noticed that his senior brother’s strength had greatly improved.
So, he went all out from the get-go.
Trying to manipulate the space around Li Fan, he attempted to sever Li Fan’s body with the power of fragmentation.
However, to his surprise, this previously effective tactic from their last encounter now seemed to have lost its effect!
A strange blood color cloaked Li Fan’s body.
Even in the face of collapsing space, he remained unaffected, standing firm within the shattered void.
"Flesh and Divine Soul, perfectly integrated."
"Impervious to all laws..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, feeling his own surging power.
With a flash of his figure, he appeared beside Tianyang in the next moment.
Countless blood threads burst forth from his body, resembling thousands of blood-colored dragons, howling as they lashed at Tianyang’s body.
At the same time, a silver gleam flickered in his eyes, and in an instant, he laid down an Array Technique around him, blocking all possibilities of Tianyang’s escape.
Facing Li Fan’s overwhelming and fierce onslaught, the color in Tianyang’s face changed slightly.
Upon realizing that he couldn’t dodge, his entire body also transformed into a mass of blackness, colliding with the countless blood threads.
"Boom!"
The sound of enormous explosions was incessant, every clash causing the blackness that represented Tianyang to tremble violently.
It dimmed with each consumption.
In contrast, Li Fan’s side was a never-ending torrent of violent blood, showing no signs of weakening.
He even had the spare energy to reveal his figure, gazing with interest at Tianyang struggling desperately.
Millions of blood threads completely enveloped Tianyang, forming a spherical blood cocoon around him, leaving him utterly no way to escape, only to awkwardly fend for himself.
With the ceaseless support of Spiritual Power from the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, Li Fan could continue to confront his enemy in peak condition.
Looking at Tianyang, whose aura was sealed and weakening by the moment,
It wouldn’t take long before he would be beaten to death by Li Fan.
Finally, a plea for mercy from Tianyang was transmitted.
After bombarding him for a while longer, Li Fan finally, albeit reluctantly, stopped his assault.
"Little junior brother, what do you say now? Still not convinced?" Li Fan asked with a light chuckle.
Tianyang replied in a muffled voice, "I’m convinced. You, senior brother, are the stronger one."
Li Fan laughed heartily.
To suppress someone with sheer strength was always more satisfying than winning through trickery.
The myriad blood threads retracted into his body, but the state of Soul Burning was not lifted.
He only slightly reined in a few of the strange phenomena he was emitting.
Although not enveloped in blood light as before, Li Fan still looked to have remnants of an evil aura.
"As long as it’s not someone of Mr. Bai’s level, ordinary Integration Cultivators, even if they combine efforts, three or five at a time or even if they take turns in battle, might not be able to outlast me,"
"And this is without even using any of my Divine Technique."
After the battle with Tianyang, which gave him a measure of his rough power limits, Li Fan nodded to himself.
"It’s time to pay a visit to the Empire."
Li Fan’s eyes flickered with intent.
Accompanied by Tianyang, he easily found the entrance to the Empire Minor World.
Then they sped along the way, arriving outside the Empire in no time.
Not concealing his powerful aura in the slightest, Little Red and Little Green had detected him long ago and were now waiting with grave expressions.
"Senior..." Little Green, looking at Li Fan, whose body exuded an evil aura, flashed a hint of worry in her eyes and tentatively spoke.
"I am an envoy of the United Federation of All Realms. Your minor world here has been commandeered!" Li Fan declared coldly.
Little Red and Little Green’s expressions underwent a drastic change.
Even if the aura emanating from the opponent faintly resembled that of a Unity-Path Cultivator, the idea of subjugating the Empire with a simple declaration was far too audacious!
"Imperial Guard!"
Little Green sent a secret message, while holding back her anger, she asked again, "What United Federation of All Realms? We have never heard of it. Senior, this action of yours... "
Li Fan chuckled coldly, "It seems you still hold hope for luck."
"Well then, let me show you what true power is!"
Before his words fell, the phantom image of Five Elements Great Cave Heaven enveloped the Empire from above.
Under the effect of Soul Burning, it resembled five intertwined Blood Moons, extraordinarily sinister!
