My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1119: The Battle of Two Heavenly Sovereigns

The moment Li Fan laid eyes on this dark-haired man without a shred of clothing, he instantly recognized who he was.

This was surely the enigmatic Eastern Extremity Heavenly Sovereign who had vanished without a trace.

A grand Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign reduced to a mere marionette pulled by invisible strings.

How could such a sight not fill him with deep dread?

"It's no surprise that scant mentions of the Eastern Extremity exist anywhere. Whether through Mo Rubin, who captured a Dharma-Transmitter and absorbed every memory, or via the Tianxuan Mirror, the result stays the same."

"No wonder the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance all retreated when the Heavenly Sovereign made his move. A secret this terrifying is beyond comprehension. Staying behind would probably mean total destruction for them."

Even under someone else's control, the Eastern Extremity still held onto fragments of his original instincts.

As the blazing red fires burst forth from Tianyang, rivaling the might of a Longevity Immortal realm, the long locks of hair trailing behind him abruptly stretched out. They morphed into innumerable shadowy giants that snuffed out the inferno.

Tianyang didn't pause for a second before warping the fabric of space, teleporting right next to the Eastern Extremity in a flash.

Before the enormous Heaven-Opening Giant, the Eastern Extremity looked tiny, like nothing more than a mere insect.

The fiery red blaze enveloping Tianyang's form twisted the nearby space with its scorching intensity. But the Eastern Extremity stood completely untouched by it.

As though he operated outside the bounds of this very dimension.

His mouth opened just a fraction, whispering something inaudible. Suddenly, a huge portion of Tianyang's body collapsed inward without any sign. The puppet trembled fiercely, powerless to dodge the assault.

Tianyang unleashed a furious bellow, and his form quickly mended itself.

With a thunderous crack, he exploded into myriad flickers of stellar flame, rushing at the black-haired Eastern Extremity from every angle.

The red flames howled like furious serpents, devouring all they touched.

The myriad black hair strands detached from the Eastern Extremity caught fire as well. The blaze raced back toward his core form.

Right then, the Eastern Extremity's obsidian eyes flickered ever so slightly.

Those black-haired beasts, now reduced to drifting cinders, shockingly reconstituted themselves amid the conflagration.

No matter how many times Tianyang's crimson blaze scorched them, they relentlessly came back to life.

If even the conjured black hair proved impossible to destroy for good, the Eastern Extremity's actual body needed no further discussion.

Tianyang bellowed in rage, refusing to yield to this truth.

Yet he couldn't alter the facts before him.

"Tianyang wields the strength of the Longevity Immortal realm, but it's been crudely forged from raw source power essence. It misses the authentic divine techniques of a true Longevity Immortal realm expert. He can easily overpower a Dao Integration cultivator. But against a real Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign..."

"He's utterly outclassed." Li Fan gave a subtle shake of his head in silence.

"On top of that, this Eastern Extremity Heavenly Sovereign doesn't appear feeble at all. The aura he radiates toward me surpasses even Senior Sister Zhao's."

During the fierce exchange between these two Longevity Immortal realm entities, Li Fan had caught faint hints of heavenly principles stirring.

Particularly when the black-haired monsters rose anew from the fire, the sensation grew especially sharp.

"Is this the principle the Eastern Extremity rebels against?"

After some reflection, Li Fan started to grasp the essence.

"Turning back the natural flow of development and transformation in all things?"

"Could this be the reason the Immortal Ancestor struck so mercilessly at the Eastern Extremity?"

"Should Eastern Extremity reach full Dao Integration, he might well overturn the very laws imposed by the Immortal Ancestor across the Xuanhuang Realm..."

Thanks to Li Fan's countless brushes with the Heavenly Dao, his attunement to the principles of heaven and earth outstripped nearly every Dao Integration cultivator.

This up-close, thorough witnessing ought to lead to solid insights.

"Crafting the path for ordinary folks; this Eastern Extremity must be someone akin to Mr. Bai. What a pity..."

"Erased from history and condemned to an existence worse than oblivion, now serving as the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's ultimate hidden weapon—a puppet no less." Li Fan shook his head faintly.

"Such is the doom of the powerless. But that will never be my destiny."

"Immortal Ancestor..."

"Hmph."

In the clash between Tianyang and Eastern Extremity, the inhabitants of the Spiritwood Realm found themselves utterly sidelined.

They longed to lend aid, yet lacked the strength to do so.

Not even if the entire group pooled their efforts, boosted by Li Fan's array formations, would it make a difference.

Before they could draw near the duo's combat zone, the mere aftershocks disrupted their spiritual energy, throwing their vital forces into chaos.

"So this is the might of the Longevity Immortal realm?"

Complicated emotions played across the faces of the group.

A shadow of hopelessness even flickered deep in their gazes.

The Holy Embryo Li Fan, by contrast, kept his mind steady and assessed the situation precisely.

"Tianyang might endure a while longer, but the fight's conclusion is set in stone."

"Looks like there's no way out. Still, uncovering the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's most buried secret makes it all worthwhile."

"I wonder who pulls the strings on Eastern Extremity from the shadows in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. Is it Dharma-Transmitter Jiang? Or perhaps Emperor Sanmo?"

Following Li Fan's cue, the increasingly overwhelmed Tianyang shifted his assault to the myriad unseen filaments trailing behind Eastern Extremity.

He sought to expose the one orchestrating the control.

Regrettably, the force binding those invisible threads outstripped even that of Eastern Extremity, this Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

How could Tianyang ever pierce their mystery?

In frustration, Tianyang roared once more, to no avail.

...

Within the Nether Prison.

Upon detecting the total severance of connection from the Holy Embryo.

Li Fan's primary body, who had been relaxing somewhat, suddenly felt a weight settle over his spirit.

The utter wipeout in the Spiritwood Realm highlighted the immense disparity in peak battle prowess within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Yet what troubled Li Fan deeper was the veiled truths it revealed.

"To reduce a fairly robust Longevity Immortal realm figure to this condition..."

"I'd already pegged the Immortal Ancestor's power as boundless and at its peak. But apparently, the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor's might terrifies beyond my wildest thoughts."

"Even shy of true immortality, he's likely on the verge of it."

"I can't measure him anymore with the Longevity Immortal realm."

"If he stayed in the Xuanhuang Realm..."

Li Fan creased his forehead: "In the conflict between those two True Immortals, he could probably still find a way to rescue the Xuanhuang Realm."

"Hmm... yes, we shouldn't dismiss that chance."

"Looks like for this life, I'll have to push back my scheme to end the world a little further."

"Thankfully, time in this Nether Prison races ahead."

Bit by bit, Li Fan's tangled emotions eased into calm.

As he reflected on the key events of this incarnation, Li Fan geared up for the closing strategy.

Time slipped away swiftly, and an unknown span elapsed.

The entry of a fresh captive into the Nether Prison jolted Li Fan from his meditative state.

Both arms hacked off, just a single eye remaining.

The arrival seemed wretched beyond words, hair in wild tangles, face smeared with crusted blood.

But he was a familiar face to Li Fan.

Kou Hong.

His constant companion, Dao Xuanzi, had vanished for reasons unknown.

Even under guard, Kou Hong showed no submission.

He muttered curses, pouring out his loathing for the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Li Fan eavesdropped for quite some time until the story clicked.

After the Federation of All Worlds' base in the Spiritwood Realm got demolished, the survivors scattered everywhere faced brutal pursuits as well.
