My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2290: 1717

The entity dwelling within Li Fan’s physical form is merely a fragment of divine sense severed from Saint Lianshan. Consequently, it lacks the raw power to unilaterally neutralize the crushing weight of the Turtle Shell.

The current state of "stillness" exists only because this divine sense has almost entirely suppressed the Turtle Shell's savage aura.

This suppression caused its terrifying descent to come to a sudden, grinding halt.

Because the gap in power between the two sides is so vast, relying solely on Lianshan’s divine sense is a strategy that cannot be sustained for long.

Li Fan, however, moved to take control with great speed.

Gaining insight into the God of Lianshan felt as though he were personally witnessing the truth.

Li Fan held a firm conviction: “You are correct; it truly is worthy of death. These obsolete remnants of the past are useless, regardless of how much their hearts refuse to submit. The best course is to simply accept one’s fate!”

In a flash, Li Fan’s essence seemed to fuse with the God of Lianshan, his titanic intent colliding like thunder against the discarded remains of Mountain Sea!

As the moment blurred, Li Fan seemed to perceive the Mountain Sea of antiquity reflected within the complex patterns of the Turtle Shell ahead.

The vision of Mountain Sea he saw was drastically different from the present day.

It was not the Taichu Immortal Realm often associated with the creation of Mountain Sea.

It was an era even more ancient.

The Mountain Sea of the Divine Split!

As a being evolved from Mountain Sea, it is difficult to conceive of a version of it devoid of God’s power, yet Li Fan was now granted a glimpse into that reality.

It lacked the quality of “Infinity.”

The Mountain would struggle to ascend but would eventually hit its ceiling, reaching a peak before inevitably declining after its prime.

The Sea appeared vast and without end, yet it could not escape the ultimate disaster of evaporation.

The drying of oceans and the crumbling of stone were calamities that Mountain Sea was destined to face.

No matter how powerful the life forms within Mountain Sea grew, they remained trapped by these fundamental limitations.

Thus, Mountain Sea hungered to devour the God!

As for the manner in which the God—the source of all existence—perished, there was naturally no record to be found within the Turtle Shell.

Only the version of Mountain Sea after the Divine Split remained, having ruthlessly discarded its former self.

“Once divine might was secured, the crude nature of the past was naturally tossed aside like a worn-out shoe.”

“And yet, it still attempts to launch a counterattack.”

“What a futile endeavor!”

With these thoughts anchoring him, it felt as though roots had sprouted beneath his feet. Despite the savage aura radiating from the Turtle Shell, it could not move Li Fan in the slightest.

Naturally, this was merely a sensation within the spiritual realm. The oppressive physical force exerted by the Mountain Sea remnants remained a tangible threat.

Nevertheless, Li Fan possessed the means to neutralize it.

Suddenly, rings of delicate, glowing lines manifested around the perimeter of Li Fan’s body.

He did not employ the True and False Dao, but instead directly utilized the power of the Cosmic Cycle to skillfully dissipate the force.

While the weight of Mountain Sea is too heavy for any single living being to endure, what happens when it is distributed through Endless Reincarnation across an infinite number of souls?

Every being would only perceive a trivial weight during their journey.

At first, the threads of Reincarnation warped slightly under the sudden impact. However, as the infinite Reincarnation expanded further, it entirely soaked up the pressure emitted by the Mountain Sea remnants.

Neither God nor physical force could harm Li Fan now.

The strike from the Void Realm-manifested Turtle Shell was doomed to fail.

Though the act appeared effortless, Li Fan had actually pushed his mastery of the Cosmic Cycle to its peak under the God of Lianshan’s tutelage, successfully bypassing the innate vicious psychological influence.

Had he not used the True and False Dao, Li Fan’s current level of Cultivation might have left him unable to survive a single blow from the Turtle Shell.

It must be acknowledged that this innate viciousness, even as a mere replica created by the Void Realm, was exceptionally potent.

Now that he was safe, Li Fan redirected his spiritual focus to observe the combat occurring on the sides of Guardian Hill and Morality.

Guardian Hill was performing even more impressively than Li Fan.

“Since it brought you into existence, it can also end you.”

Confronting the furious and resentful Ancestor Bone, Guardian Hill spoke with total indifference. He blocked its corruption with ease; even as the Ancestor Bone tried to burrow deep within him, Guardian Hill remained as immovable as a massive peak.

Among the three, Morality was the only one facing significant peril.

“Since its fate is already sealed in death, why struggle?”

Had Morality been alone while facing the Life Rope’s direct assault on his Divine Soul, he would have surely succumbed to mental chaos.

However, because Morality had entered the Xuanji Ring, the dynamics had shifted.

Even without the direct influence of Taiyi’s form, Morality’s Divine Sense remained largely stable.

Li Fan had previously decreed that Hai Zhen must receive a portion of the inherited memories in the future.

To be able to truly sense the True and False Dao and gain insights from it—how many in the whole of Mountain Sea could claim such a feat?

What incredible luck!

He would feel no remorse even if his life ended this very moment.

Morality struggled primarily because his individual strength was the lowest of the group.

This was because Li Fan’s incarnation in this life had been enlightened in haste, lacking the deep Foundation and explosive growth possessed by Guardian Hill.

By relying on Morality to reach a state of perfection, the pressure from the Life Rope could be steadily neutralized.

Yet, he was not as relaxed as Li Fan or Guardian Hill.

He remained perpetually balanced on the razor's edge between life and death.

Fortunately, Li Fan provided occasional infusions of True Spirit nourishment, allowing him to survive the attrition.

The battle of the True and False Three Saints raged on.

The hidden innate viciousness of the Void Realm had been countered by the unexpected intervention of the three versions of Li Fan.

The conflict reached a temporary standstill.

The response from the depths of the Void Realm was not as violent as it had been in the previous life when the True and False Dao was first revealed.

Instead, a heavy silence fell over it.

It seemed to be weighing the cost of committing more resources to this location.

The Void Realm was fighting Mountain Sea across the entirety of time; sending more power here would require weakening the erosion of the Dao Yan at other points in history.

As one force wanes, another waxes; a single adjustment leads to a hundred cascading changes.

Every decision made by the Void Realm was marked by extreme caution.

The deliberation was brief.

Following the short silence, violent ripples suddenly erupted from the Void Realm.

“Watch out!”

Sensing the shift, the original forms of the Three Saints could not help but shout a warning.

Li Fan stared at the churning waves of the Void Realm and watched as more than ten distinct entities began to approach rapidly.

His face darkened slightly: “The strategic boldness of the Void Realm is truly decisive!”

“Even though we haven't shown the True Dao it craves, it still chooses to quadruple its forces here!”

With only three instances of innate viciousness, they were already at their limit.

Facing twelve more would be nearly impossible under ordinary conditions.

“Should we move...?” Morality asked, his spirit shaken.

Guardian Hill turned a serious gaze toward Li Fan.

After a moment of tense deliberation, Li Fan spoke through gritted teeth: “No. If we use the True and False Changes now, the result will just be a repeat of the last cycle. What would be the point of this attempt?”

“We will endure it! We need to find out where our true limits lie!”

“Do not fear. Even if we perish, we can simply begin again! I once performed a Hundred Generations of Foundation Building to turn the impossible into reality.”

“Today’s challenge...”

“Is no more difficult than what I faced in the past!”

Li Fan’s resolve surged through Guardian Hill and Morality.

The tension on Guardian Hill’s face vanished instantly.

With a faint smile, he regained his serene composure even as twelve manifestations of innate viciousness bore down on him.

Morality let out a cold snort, centering himself into a state of absolute focus.

“If one does not fear death, what is there to fear from this innate viciousness?”

“It is nothing but a trifle!”
