My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2245 - 1694: The Battle of All Saints in the Apocalypse
"Even with our treasures for protection, we must not act recklessly. If things become untenable..."
"Prioritize your own safety. With the infusion of True Spirit, it signifies infinite possibilities. Even if the Mountains and Seas cannot be connected again, there may yet be a way to turn the tide."
In front of the Three Saints, they spoke words completely different from when they were by the Other Shore.
"Remember, once you arrive at the Mountain and Sea, trust no one. Not even those familiar to you."
"The ultimate goal is singular, to preserve the Mountain and Sea amidst the havoc of Dao Yan. As for anything else..."
"Nothing is off-limits, act as you see fit."
It was as if they foresaw the chaos of the Mountain and Sea ahead, and the Three Saints of Mountain Lian gave very solemn instructions.
Before Li Fan could respond, three forces enveloped his body.
They forcibly broke through the surging waves of Dao Yan, shooting towards the precarious Mountain and Sea within the Void Realm.
The Void Realm’s reaction was unexpectedly fierce, swiftly reclaiming the pathway Li Fan carved through the waves. Sworn to utterly conquering the Mountain and Sea ahead, the faint light representing Li Fan lasted only a few moments before being engulfed by endless darkness.
Even the Three Saints were affected by the Void Realm’s impact, their figures swaying slightly.
"Let us also begin our preparations early."
Imposing silhouettes suddenly expanded, pushing back the surrounding darkness.
The Three Saints stood like mountains, reflecting upon the ancient Void Realm.
...
Even with the assistance of the Three Saints, traversing the Void Realm against its backlash was a challenging ordeal.
It felt as if a thousand steel blades were continuously slashing at the foundational existence, each strike nearly shattering the Tao Foundation.
If not for Li Fan having achieved enlightenment of the Cosmic Cycle at the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless, leaving a mark unique to himself.
If not for Li Fan possessing Infinite Spirit, completely unafraid of the Void Realm’s erosion.
He would likely have already suffered severe injuries by now.
"Hehe..."
His form finally stabilized, Li Fan lightly coughed, calming his breath and blood.
He paid no mind to the numerous potentialities shattered by his impact.
After all, in this Mountain and Sea, as far as the eye could see, it was already a scene of broken mountains and seas and desolation!
Upon descending, Li Fan immediately sensed the extraordinary aura here.
Chaos, madness, hysteria.
Even the Mountain and Sea itself underwent inexplicable changes due to the passing of the Three Saints.
"Even ants strive to live, let alone the Mountain and Sea."
"Facing impending consumption by the Void Realm, it naturally manifests various distorted phenomena."
Frowning slightly, Li Fan dismissed the howling of the Mountain and Sea, resembling the wailing of ghosts and wolves, from his ears.
He had also witnessed the Apocalypse of the Mountain and Sea.
But that was at the twilight of time’s end.
And now, the Mountain and Sea could barely be considered middle-aged.
Hence, its desperate struggle before death was all the more terrifying.
All living beings within the infinite possibilities of the Mountain and Sea originated from the Mountain and Sea. Now that the Mountain and Sea was tilting, in its struggle for survival, it sought to reclaim everything.
To prolong its lingering existence a little more.
No need for the assault of Dao Yan; each possibility crashed down like an avalanche. Burying all life within.
The Immortal World, established upon the seamless Mountain and Sea by the Three Saints, had begun to collapse entirely.
Even...
Li Fan glanced at what was supposed to be the Other Shore.
The once enveloping pure white light of the Mountain and Sea no longer existed.
Instead, it was replaced by an eerie Black Mysterious Light.
Occasionally quivering, seemingly as if intense battles were being fought within.
"This mess..."
"Preserve the Mountain and Sea." Li Fan squinted his eyes to observe for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"Perhaps I should observe for a while first, and if it’s truly unmanageable, return as Hai Zhen. After all, this lifetime’s gains are already quite substantial..."
Just as Li Fan was contemplating this, his expression suddenly changed.
Because just then, he felt an invisible hand gently graze over his Celestial Spirit Lid. The chilling and slippery sensation instinctively sent shivers down his spine. Something seemed to be "taken" from himself!
"Who!"
Before Li Fan could react, the Bamboo Cane in his hand instinctively struck lightly towards the void outside.
At first, it seemed silent.
Then waves began to rise, gradually growing louder and louder, ultimately transforming into a continuous and massive booming sound that shook the Mountain and Sea.
A figure was ineptly revealed.
And in the distance behind him, Li Fan could clearly see that the Mountain and Sea, initially in a state of self-destruction due to the impending Apocalypse, had astonishingly stabilized.
It was as if an unseen force forcibly gathered the collapsing Mountain and Sea.
It appeared as though the once collapsed mountain was rising again!
With the emergence of the wooden staff, silence descended upon the Mountain and Sea instantly.
Only the persistent echoes of the mountains resurging resounded.
Li Fan was stunned, then he felt the gazes coming from all over the Mountain and Sea!
And as the assailant was revealed, the object that was invisibly taken also returned to him.
"Lian...Shan...Staff."
The saint before him uttered each word deliberately, as if encountering something utterly unbelievable.
Li Fan instantly recognized the opponent’s identity.
Stealing Mechanism.
Originally expecting the opponent’s attitude to change upon recognizing the token of Saint Lianshan.
Yet he didn’t expect that the Stealing Mechanism Saint merely hesitated momentarily before launching another attack on Li Fan.
The target was not Li Fan himself, but had shifted to the Lianshan Staff in his hand!
Moreover, Li Fan also sensed several familiar auras suddenly assaulting from all directions of the Mountain and Sea.
The target was directed straight at him.
Unmistakably, they were Saints of the Other Shore!
Li Fan couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle. At this moment, he finally understood the reason for the Three Saints’ sudden advice of "nothing is off-limits, act as you see fit" before his departure.
