My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2274 - 1708: Six Saints Battle the Law

Previously on My Simulated Road to Immortality...

Li Fan and his companions successfully traverse the Void Realm and arrive at a stretch of the Mountain Sea where the Three Saints are preoccupied with a fierce battle. Seizing the opportunity, Guardian Hill achieves a profound state of enlightenment and swiftly infiltrates the Other Shore, merging with his local self and subduing the resident Saints of Stealing Opportunities. This coup allows for the emergence of a new Xuanji Ring that begins to dominate and integrate with the old, leaderless one. As the twin rings merge and their understanding of the Shadow of God deepens, the trio prepares to infiltrate the Void Realm to confront the ongoing conflict.

The critical juncture of the Six Holy Battle seemed to draw near.

Without further delay, Li Fan and his companion left only two shadowy projections behind. Their true forms collectively slipped into the Void Realm, cautiously advancing towards the source of the tumultuous waves.

"My strength allows for only a single strike of [Mountain and Sea Collapse], which must be reserved for the decisive moment. The remainder, I fear, will fall upon you, Guardian Hill," Li Fan declared with certainty.

Simultaneously, he drew forth countless True Spirits accumulating within the Void Realm, using them to envelop their surroundings as a disguise.

Layer upon layer, the amassed True Spirits completely obscured their combined aura.

In silent unison, they vanished within the Void Realm.

"Your move, Mountain and Sea Collapse, will achieve its maximum impact only when deployed at the most crucial instant."

"Simply be patient and await that time. As for everything else..."

"Leave it to me."

An invisible yet potent confidence permeated Guardian Hill's words.

As they conversed, their proximity to the Six Holy Battle site steadily increased.

The accumulated True Spirits appeared like agitated waves, unpredictably surging and receding.

Within the Void Realm, a colossal entity seemed to be stirring up chaos, causing immense disturbance.

Li Fan and Guardian Hill proceeded with heightened caution, their gaze finally discerning the Three Lives.

More precisely, it was Taiyi and his Void Realm incarnate!

Taiyi maintained a serious demeanor, indistinguishable from Li Fan's usual encounters with him. Only his robes bore a slight disarray, suggesting he had been pushed to his limits.

And that Void Realm incarnate...

Its form, appearance, and aura perfectly mirrored Taiyi's true self. However, a layer of gloom seemed to enshroud its exterior, casting the entire figure in shadow.

Its face remained cold and devoid of expression.

Within its eyes, only its true self, Taiyi, the one it swore to eliminate, was reflected.

The duel between Taiyi and his Void Realm incarnate unfolded with considerable mystique.

It encompassed not merely the two combatants, but also two boundless worlds and the countless living beings within them, all inextricably involved.

The two grand worlds merged, their point of convergence serving as the most brutal battlefield.

"Guardian Hill, can you comprehend the Xuan Xu?" Li Fan inquired.

"That must be... the Taichu Immortal Realm," Guardian Hill observed briefly before suddenly speaking.

"Taichu Immortal Realm?"

"Certainly, it is not the one that ever existed in the Mountain and Sea world. More accurately, it is a replicated Taichu Immortal Realm that is almost identical to the original, generated by Taiyi's own power. With Taiyi's strength, he re-generates the Mountain and Sea's Innate Creation..."

"And the living beings manifested in this world should be those once slain by Taiyi. They had long since vanished from the river of Mountain and Sea's history, yet because they were killed by Taiyi, a trace of their imprint persisted."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan's gaze abruptly sharpened, spontaneously recalling Taiyi's Saint Treasures, the All Living Beings Stick.

"Among the Three Saints, indeed, this one is the most formidable in terms of slaughter."

Li Fan observed the scene of carnage within the Taichu Immortal Realm, witnessing numerous Innate Spirits possessing a distinct aura. They primarily embodied Tao manifestations.

Among them, the four leading and strongest figures radiated auras distinctly identified as "Tai Chu, Tai Shi, Tai Su, Tai Ji."

"The true essence of Saint Taiyi is truly extraordinary."

Although the authentic Saint Taiyi was extraordinary, his Void Realm incarnate flawlessly duplicated every aspect of him.

The manifested Taichu Immortal Realm scene was an exact replica of its original version.

Furthermore, operating within the Endless Void Realm, fighting on home ground, the incarnate possessed an inexhaustible power source, immune to exhaustion, thereby subtly gaining an advantage in the confrontation.

Yet the stalemate endured, and Taiyi's defeat was far from assured.

Li Fan began to search for the forms of Mountain Lian and Gui Hai.

"Clearly, I can feel the aftershocks of the battle, so why are they not visible?" Li Fan pondered for a moment, feeling perplexed.

Guardian Hill fixed his gaze on a not-so-distant point, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"While within the Mountain and Sea, it is naturally difficult to perceive the Mountain and Sea itself. These two have already revealed their true forms."

Guided by Guardian Hill, Li Fan's perception within the Void Realm underwent a sudden transformation!

What appeared to be a void of darkness now showcased countless swirling currents.

At times, they intertwined and clashed; at others, they distinctly separated.

Seemingly chaotic, they nonetheless revolved around four central cores.

These were precisely Mountain Lian, Gui Hai, and their respective Void Realm incarnates.

If Taiyi's duel with his incarnate symbolized the "movement" of an endless chaotic battlefield,

then the Two Saints of Mountain Lian and Gui Hai epitomized the essence of "stillness."

Four figures stood in opposition, each firm and unmoving.

Yet, countless undercurrents swirled, morphing into lethal attacks in contention.

The battle with Taiyi remained deadlocked.

But here, with the Two Saints, it had already reached a critical juncture.

Sensing Li Fan's bewilderment, Lord Guardian Hill explained, "The struggle between the Two Saints and their Void Realm incarnates can be viewed as a contest for the Tao Lineage."

"What defines Mountain Lian, what defines Gui Hai, are the very reasons these Two Saints have attained their pinnacle. And now, this power has been usurped by their Void Realm incarnates."

"It involves the foundational continuity of their own power, hence it is far more perilous than ordinary duels!"

"Look there!"

Following Guardian Hill's indicated direction, Li Fan observed several torrents being consumed by other whirlpools amidst the struggle.

This minor alteration in a single corner of the battlefield, however, triggered innumerable transformations, drastically altering the entire war situation.

In an instant, it presented infinitely violent changes, causing Li Fan, who witnessed it, to feel a slight dizziness.

"Every thread of change represents a potential evolution of the Mountain and Sea through the flow of time."

"Taiyi utilizes the Taichu Immortal Realm as the core of his Tao evolution, and the Two Saints of Mountain Lian and Gui Hai perceive the entire Mountain and Sea as their Tao field!" Guardian Hill exclaimed with genuine admiration, tinged with inexplicable excitement.

"But this is still merely the surface!"

"The unending changes within the Mountain and Sea are but a tangible manifestation of the Two Saints' power evolution. And the genesis of all these changes..."

Guardian Hill exerted every effort, striving to locate the true core amidst the immeasurable currents of chaos on the battlefield.

Even though Li Fan could barely perceive the true nature of the duel, he could discern from the increasingly frequent superficial signs of engulfing struggles that the battle was intensifying.

Occasionally, the mournful cries of the Mountain and Sea reached his ears.

"The foundational roots of the Two Saints within the Mountain Sea are already beginning to suffer damage."

"It's akin to armor that is gradually being worn down. Striking at the spirit might allow us to glimpse the true visages of Mountain Lian and Gui Hai!"

With Guardian Hill's prompting, Li Fan calmed his mind.

Time appeared to freeze at this moment, his consciousness rapidly scanning the countless interwoven lines before his eyes.

Slowly, and unsure if it was Li Fan's illusion,

He vaguely sensed that these turbulent lines before him seemed to animate.
