My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2279 - 1711: The Void Realm’s Mastermind Revealed

A single strike obliterates the Three Saints, leaving the entire assembly in a state of absolute shock!

Even though these were merely the incarnations of the Three Saints from the Void Realm, their power was undeniably on par with the original entities themselves.

The fact that Guardian Hill could instantaneously eliminate these Void Realm incarnations meant that...

Mountain Lian, Gui Hai, and Taiyi were all seized by an uncontrollable sense of dread.

Despite knowing that Guardian Hill possessed the True and False Dao, they never anticipated that he, transformed by the True and False Changes, would wield such devastating power!

Had Guardian Hill been putting on an act during those countless ages he spent sitting within the Xuanji Ring?

What was it that he was truly searching for?

Just as these suspicions took root in the minds of the Three Saints, they noticed a subtle shift: Guardian Hill’s physical form seemed slightly more translucent than it had been moments ago.

While the change was faint, it was impossible for the keen observation of the Three Saints to miss it.

"Could this be..."

"The heavy price of forcefully invoking the True and False Changes to wipe out those Void Realm incarnations?"

"It appears Guardian Hill’s mastery over the True and False Dao has not yet reached the peak of perfection." Realizing this, the Three Saints felt their anxiety subside significantly.

Guardian Hill, however, completely disregarded the instability within his own body.

With a mind as tranquil as a polished mirror, he sensed the countless forms lurking within the surrounding void realm.

As he moved, he utilized the True and False Dao to systematically erase those unborn incarnations of the Void Realm.

"What is reality, and what is illusion?"

"The boundary between existence and annihilation is decided by a single thought. It is truly a mystery that surpasses the comprehension of mortal beings."

As Lord Guardian Hill slaughtered the incarnations of the various saints' void realms as easily as if he were treading on ants, a sense of profound unreality filled his heart, even though he was the one performing the deeds.

Every time he activated "True Yet False," Guardian Hill’s insight into the True and False Dao deepened slightly.

Amidst the overlapping shadows of his enemies, Guardian Hill moved forward, progressing through the massacre.

The Dao is as vast as the firmament, yet when Guardian Hill finished slaughtering every surrounding incarnation of the void realm, he realized he hadn't moved an inch from his starting point.

The summit of the True Traces Dao remained a distant, unreachable goal.

This path toward enlightenment seemed to stretch on without end.

Guardian Hill let out a soft chuckle and shook his head: "It is as I thought. If Hai Zhen were the one acting, there would be no need for such tedious effort, nor would I have to crush them one by one."

"Wherever one's thought reaches, mountains and seas are simply consumed."

Even though the immediate threat from the void realm appeared to have been neutralized, Guardian Hill did not lower his guard.

Within the oppressive silence of the darkness, a much larger tempest was beginning to brew.

"In this conflict where the void realm seeks to devour the mountains and seas, Dao Yan is merely the vanguard, and the incarnations of the saints are but the generals."

"And the one who is about to show themselves..."

"Can be considered the commander."

Guardian Hill focused his spiritual intent on a specific point ahead.

The gathered density of the void realms around him began to retreat.

As one force ebbed and the other flowed, the mountains and seas seemed to revive, overflowing with life.

However, as Guardian Hill and the Three Saints watched, the more life bloomed within the mountains and seas, the more suffocating the aura of death became!

This was all due to the terrifying storm gathering within the void realm.

If the previous summoning of the void incarnations was a deployment of troops, then this moment represented the true concentration of power.

Across an nearly infinite timeline, the void realm—which stands in eternal opposition to the mountains and seas—was now pooling a massive amount of energy to lay siege to this specific segment of reality.

It was forming into a violent, raging tide.

Even though the waves had yet to crash down, the crushing weight of the pressure was already being felt.

The very fabric of the mountains and seas began to warp!

The long-standing war between the mountains and seas and the void realm had always been a stalemate. The void realm held only a minor advantage, one it had to slowly build over eons to eventually swallow the mountains and seas.

By contracting the void realm across all time nodes now, it meant that the vast majority of its accumulated advantage would be sacrificed in an instant.

The resurgence of the mountains and seas meant that if the void realm ever wanted to return to its former state, it would have to pay the price of endless time once again.

Despite such a staggering cost, the void realm chose this path without hesitation.

Guardian Hill felt as though he could see the sheer resolve of the entity pulling the strings behind the scenes.

"Such boldness is truly impressive."

"But unfortunately, it is fated to be a wasted effort."

As the storm hung precariously over the mountains and seas, Guardian Hill stood like a pillar between the void realm and this world, absorbing the terrifying pressure of the void alone.

His form rippled like a reflection in water disturbed by a gale.

His body became increasingly faint and see-through.

He looked like a dying star, ready to be swallowed by the dark at any moment.

Still, he remained steadfast, waiting for the "commander" to step onto the stage.

"In my current condition, I should be able to endure a bit longer and test the strength of this foe."

"The True and False Changes are indeed profound and mysterious. However, ordinary inhabitants of the mountains and seas truly cannot withstand them."

"Even if one can fabricate all things with a single thought, the self is not immune to the consequences."

"Furthermore, the act of reshaping the mountains and seas after Hai Zhen is also a process where the self is slowly erased by the True and False Dao. Unlike us, one must maintain a link to the true self of a previous life..."

"Hai Zhen is truly not something a common person can handle."

"Though a blade may be sharp, if a child holds it, they will only cut themselves. Many in the mountains and seas and the void realms desire to possess Hai Zhen, yet few grasp this reality."

Guardian Hill’s mind was more peaceful than ever before.

After acquiring the power to truly command the True and False Dao, his final lingering greed for Hai Zhen had been completely snuffed out.

No one else was aware of Guardian Hill’s internal transformation, except for Li Fan, who watched everything from the shadows.

"Guardian Hill, after eons of waiting, has finally achieved the True and False Dao. By acting so boldly, he has created quite a spectacle!"

Witnessing this scene, Li Fan felt that his own past actions—even those involving the destruction of mountains or the boiling of seas—were nothing more than child's play.

"Guardian Hill once spoke a phrase that truly resonates with me."

"The secret of true and false has never been about concealment. Since Hai Zhen is in one's grasp, one must act according to the dictates of their own heart!"

"In the past, when I was weak, being cautious and prioritizing safety was the right path."

"But now that I have the means to challenge the Three Saints, there is no longer a need to be so hesitant."

Under the combined influence of the Xuanji Ring, Li Fan felt as if he himself had erased the Three Saints' incarnations with a thought. As he watched the shadows being suppressed, his heart raced.

It was as if a blocked road had suddenly been cleared; his perspective shifted entirely.

It was a truly refreshing and new outlook.

Despite his excitement, Li Fan did not forget the instructions of Guardian Hill. He remained hidden in the darkness, ensuring not a single trace of his presence was revealed.

At the very moment the pressure from the void realm reached its peak, it suddenly vanished.

The massive, accumulated force disappeared, replaced by a single figure standing across from Guardian Hill.

This figure was a physical incarnation formed from the bulk of the void realm’s power, but remarkably, its face was identical to Guardian Hill’s.

This entity had shed the dim black shadow typical of void incarnations. Looking at the double standing before him, Guardian Hill felt as though he were staring into a mirror.

The resemblance went beyond mere looks.

Guardian Hill could sense that this void shadow had absorbed the data of the countless versions of himself that had been consumed by Dao Yan. It was, in essence, a conglomerate of numerous Guardian Hill void incarnations merged into a single being.
