My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2291: 1718: Threefold Resolution of Their Crisis

The multi-layered Innate malice delivers more than just intensified spiritual corruption; it brings a crushing aura that threatens to annihilate everything in its path.

It must be understood that a single instance of Innate malice is capable of dealing a lethal blow to the Three Saints through a sudden strike.

Now, fifteen of them are launching a simultaneous assault. While it does not equal the wave of countless Saint phantoms from the previous life, it has immediately placed the defenses of Li Fan and his companions in a state of extreme peril.

As each Turtle Shell, Ancestor Bone, and Life Rope is deployed, the overwhelming pressure grows exponentially.

That they have not collapsed instantly is a testament to the deep Foundation and Cultivation of the three.

Faced with such a desperate crisis, the thought of surrender never crosses their minds.

Instead, they push every limit to find a path to survival where none seems to exist.

“With one heart and one mind, united as one.”

Li Fan and the others are forced together by the fifteen Innate malices, compressed into a single point where they stand back-to-back in a triangular formation.

The eyes of one become the eyes of all three. What is perceived by one is witnessed by all.

The heart of one becomes the collective will of the three.

The corruption from the various Innate malices strikes them all at the same time.

However, in this moment, Li Fan does not only draw upon his Creation; he also wields the foresight and breadth of the Guardian Hill, while maintaining the perfection of morality.

Immense malice crashes against them like monstrous waves.

Yet, through the unified will of the three, he neutralizes the attacks one by one.

The same process is mirrored by Guardian Hill and morality.

Though the Innate malice has been magnified fivefold, Li Fan’s defensive capabilities have also tripled in an instant.

As the external force continues to mount, Li Fan senses their state of being "one heart and one mind" becoming invisibly more fluid and harmonious.

He is able to utilize the Cosmic Reincarnation Path to spin endless cycles of Reincarnation. Simultaneously, he can grasp onto Longevity, gazing from a Mountain to the Sea, while achieving moral perfection to sustain an unbroken flow of vitality.

Not only do the three of them subjectively share a single mind, but even the Dao they command begins to recognize and merge with one another.

During the brief intervals between the Innate malice’s strikes, Li Fan suddenly feels a Blessing of the Heart, allowing him to draw a massive quantity of True Spirit from the Void Realm.

“Summon Guardian Hill of Faan!”

With a look of great solemnity, he points his finger outward.

The True Spirit erupts, and from within the shimmering light, a phantom slowly takes shape.

It possesses the aura and presence of Guardian Hill, yet its features are eighty percent identical to those of Li Fan.

It could be described as the Li Fan version of Lord Guardian Hill.

By invoking the Eternal Life Path he has mastered and utilizing his infinite True Spirit, Li Fan has managed to prove his status as a Saint once more in a single moment!

Under normal laws, two Saints sharing the exact same Dao Path could not coexist between the Mountain and Sea.

But through the mystical bond of "one heart and one mind," the strange legacy of Hai Zhen, and the unthinkable pressure from the external world,

Even the Mountain Sea Path has begun to view Li Fan, Guardian Hill, and morality as a single entity.

Since they are perceived as one, no conflict between their paths exists.

The moment Li Fan’s Guardian Hill incarnation manifests, it integrates into the three-man defensive line.

They remain unified in heart and mind, without a single flaw in their synergy.

Its stature is as massive as the Mountain and Sea, providing a shield against the external tempests.

“Summon the morality of Faan!”

Without pausing, Li Fan proceeds to manifest his morality avatar.

Amidst two swirling auras, the morality of Li Fan steps forward.

His expression is hard to read, appearing as both righteous and malevolent.

His form is encircled by the rotations of black and white, taking on his share of the burden.

Li Fan is not the only one to do this.

At that same instant, Guardian Hill and morality each split into two avatars of their own.

These correspond to the other two members of the trio.

In a heartbeat, six high-tier Saints have been manifested as reinforcements.

The crushing weight they felt was suddenly alleviated.

With the original three acting as the core, the six new avatars formed a protective circle around them.

Wherever a weakness appears in the defense, their collective power instantly rushes to fill the gap.

Their strength follows the movement of their thoughts.

The result is that Li Fan and his allies can now exert nine times their original power simultaneously.

Furthermore, the defensive perimeter they have established flows perfectly, devoid of any clumsy openings.

In contrast, although the assault from the Void Realm appears vast and dreadfully powerful with fifteen Innate malices,

They are fighting as individuals, acting merely as fivefold copies of themselves.

Once the defenders adapt to the rhythm of one attacker, the threat posed by the other four replicas becomes far less certain.

Li Fan and the six avatars are reaching a state of perfect synchronization.

They are even able to pursue Enlightenment and analysis while parrying the strikes of the Innate malice.

“In truth, if we were pushed to the very edge, we have one final gambit even without resorting to the True and False Dao.”

“We could perform the division of morality, just as morality did before proving the Tao!”

“Every body could do the same. In doing so, we would double our numbers instantly!”

“However, while separating is simple, regaining moral perfection is a difficult task. Such an action might cause us to fall from the Saint Realm or even shatter our unified mind, resulting in self-destruction,” Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness calculated at high speeds.

Morality voiced his agreement: “But because of Hai Zhen, we don't need to consider such extremes yet. Let us first survive this Tribulation, then we can observe how the Mountain and Sea change!”

Guardian Hill peered into the darkness of the Void Realm, reflecting, “The deployment of twelve Innate malices will have a massive impact on the power balance of the Mountain and Sea battlefield. I have a feeling; the Mountain and Sea Change Outline following Hai Zhen may hold many surprises.”

...

With every passing second, the insights gained through the heat of combat are distributed among the three.

Unlike the Innate malice, which remains static and unchanging since its arrival in this world, Li Fan and his companions are growing more powerful with every breath.

The pace of this growth is staggering.

At this stage, the final result of the battle has already been decided.
