My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1148: Single-Handedly Suppressing the Demonic Tide

"Would you be willing to join me?"

Li Fan's voice boomed like thunder, slicing through the white fog, briefly silencing the howls rising from the Chizha Abyss, and echoing ceaselessly across the Eternal Immortal Fortress.

Sensing the numerous stares from the Qingxuan Army fixed on him, Shang Shaojun's hesitant posture grew firm.

His real appearance revealed itself.

Dressed in a billowing blue robe, his lean and tall body stood straight. A fierce spark lit up in his gaze as Shang Shaojun fixed his eyes on Li Fan: "Fellow Daoist, you appear far too assured. Your blade might be keen, yet it could falter against the fearsome rush of the demonic sound tide. And still, you aspire to suppress the abyss forever…"

"How can we tell if we don't attempt it? I understand now, Shaojun, that long years of watching over the abyss have eroded your bravery!" Holy Embryo Li Fan shot back without backing down, confronting him directly.

"Hmph, empty talk."

In a flash, it felt like a multitude of silhouettes sprang up around Shang Shaojun. He blended into this flood of shadows, hiding inside, poised to deliver a deadly attack whenever the chance arose.

At the same time, Holy Embryo Li Fan sensed himself encircled by a force of thousands, even under the delusion of confronting the Chizha Abyss by himself.

When Li Fan remained in the Foundation Establishment stage, he had felt the horror of the abyss's demonic sound firsthand.

At present, Shang Shaojun resembled a mobile abyss, able to release a demonic sound tide without warning!

Over Holy Embryo Li Fan's head, a simple, undecorated black longsword abruptly appeared.

Its point aimed straight at Shang Shaojun.

Even as the barrage of endless demonic sounds assailed him, the instant the sword targeted him, a subtle feeling of danger stirred in Shang Shaojun's mind.

It was like glimpsing, past the dark sword, a horde of other blades pouring from the heavens, all directed at him!

"From where does this powerhouse hail…"

Shang Shaojun's heart sank deeper.

The pair confronted each other in the emptiness, a clash about to ignite.

In this tense instant, an odd ripple emanated from close by.

Initially, it was a soft whisper, akin to the biting gusts of fall winds.

Next, it swelled like the thundering steps of charging steeds, bursting forth like an abrupt tempest.

It echoed the shrieks of myriad spirits from an infinite underworld or the hopeless cries resounding in a realm nearing its end.

The white fog surged, twisting without pause.

The Broken Palm Immortal City, akin to a tiny vessel amid ocean waves, shook fiercely, on the verge of crumbling!

"The demonic sound tide!"

Maybe because of the earlier restraint by Li Fan's sword glow, the abyss's might had been stirred into retaliation.

On this occasion, the force and extent of the demonic sound tide surpassed all previous outbursts by far.

The Eternal Immortal Fortress, right in the path of the tide's assault, looked like a fragile leaf on a twig, ready to scatter at any second!

Shang Shaojun's face twisted in alarm. Ignoring Li Fan completely now, his form blurred as he dashed back to the Broken Palm Immortal City.

With Shang Shaojun anchoring the defense, the Azure Light shimmering ring whirled about, and only then did the Eternal Immortal Fortress slowly steady itself against the Demonic Sound Tide.

As the Qingxuan Army troops were still recovering from their fright, they abruptly noticed with dread that Li Fan, whom they believed had been swallowed by the Demonic Sound Tide, stood silently in the void.

Despite the demonic sounds howling around him and the white fog boiling.

He stayed completely unshaken.

And then, Li Fan performed an action that stunned everyone.

He wandered casually, like on a relaxed stroll, toward the edges of Broken Palm Immortal City.

Before the boundless Chizha Abyss, Li Fan settled into a cross-legged position.

A jet-black longsword emerged right under him right then.

Li Fan bent his right finger and gently struck the sword's blade.

"Ding!"

The clear tone pealed, cutting through distinctly even in the wild onslaught of demonic sounds!

The sword's vibration resounded as a host of varied sword phantoms sprang up instantly behind Li Fan.

The sword phantoms extended without limit, forming a vast barrier that shielded the front of Broken Palm Immortal City.

Ten thousand swords rose like a woodland, every one aimed at the abyss!

"The demonic sounds invade the soul, but he remains untouched! How exactly is he managing this?"

"He's seated directly outside the city; what scheme is this?"

This astonishing sight rendered the million Qingxuan Army troops completely stunned.

Even Shang Shaojun suddenly leaped up, staring from a distance at Li Fan's figure beyond the city.

If the massive wave of demonic sounds was an infinite, crashing, and fiercely turbulent sea surge.

Then Li Fan right now was a colossal rock planted steadfast by the shore,

Unyielding and steadfast from every side.

No matter how the demonic sounds battered, they couldn't touch him at all.

And Li Fan's performance was merely starting.

"Go!"

In front of the immense tide, Li Fan spoke a gentle order.

From the immense barrier of countless sword phantoms at his back, a single sword rocketed out in a blink.

Much like the earth-shattering sword beam Li Fan had released before, it hurtled directly into the Demonic Sound Great Tide with a keen whistle.

Against the onrushing Demonic Sound Tide, the sword beam slowly faded.

But the Qingxuan Army warriors within Broken Palm Immortal City could plainly sense that the tide's strength had lessened slightly thanks to that sword beam!

"Is it possible..."

A notion sprang unbidden into their thoughts.

The forms of all in the immortal city quivered faintly.

Then, a spectacle they would etch in their memories forever played out.

Myriad flying swords surged ahead one by one, dashing devotedly toward the Chizha Abyss.

Endless sword beams streaked in rapid succession, bathing the entire Eternal Immortal Fortress in light.

Every impact reduced the Demonic Sound Tide a bit more.

The frightful shrieks ringing in their ears also slowly turned faint and weary.

The expansive immortal city plunged into total hush.

All observed Li Fan's silhouette in silent awe.

No space left for other ideas.

Like a torrent of rain at last easing, unveiling clear heavens post-storm.

Beyond the immortal city, the demonic sounds halted completely.

Still, the sword beams at Li Fan's rear lingered plentifully.

Vast and tireless, perpetual and unbroken.

"That lord..."

"Maybe his earlier claim of suppressing the abyss eternally isn't out of reach."

This concept arose together in the minds of the Qingxuan Army troops.

Facing away from Broken Palm Immortal City, Li Fan didn't get up.

The Qingxuan Army troops appeared rooted too, unwilling to stir an inch.

"The sword halted the Demonic Sound Tide, and the Xuanhuang Sword Dao's approval of me has increased substantially."

The Holy Embryo clone of Li Fan was truly detecting the shifts happening inside his being.

"Indeed, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao naturally rejects these [foreign objects]. Should one follow heaven's will, one gains the Heavenly Dao's fitting blessing."

With such reflections, Li Fan rose gradually and turned his face, glancing at the horde of cultivators in the Eternal Immortal Fortress.

He grinned and inquired: "Does Lord Shang still view me as overbold?"

The immortal city hung in utter silence.

Shortly after, Shang Shaojun's form materialized once more in front of Li Fan.

He inclined his head a bit and stated with genuine respect: "I erred."

"Your prowess, fellow Daoist, stands unrivaled in this realm."

As he prepared to continue, Li Fan gestured dismissively, interrupting him.

"So, Young Lord, will you agree to journey with me?"

Li Fan posed the question again.

Witnessing this, Shang Shaojun clenched his jaw and answered resignedly: "Very well, I'll stake my life to follow this gentleman!"

With Shang Shaojun's declaration, a tremendous roar of joy exploded from inside Broken Palm Immortal City.
