My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2334 - 1744: Wu’s Methods Fully Unleashed (Part 2)

Li Fan moved with such incredible speed that the Three Saints couldn't react fast enough to stop him.

Helplessly, they observed as he vanished into the Void Realm through teleportation, leaving no trace behind.

"Is that... the Cosmic Reincarnation Path? Though this route holds remarkable power, venturing solo into the endless Void Realm carries immense peril."

"Why would he do that? It feels like he's deliberately dodging us."

"What a shame, really such a waste. If we'd gained another Saint's help, we might have united Mountain Sea successfully."

The Saints dove into intense debates among themselves.

In the end, the Three Saints decided: "Everyone pursues their own goals; there's no point in pressuring him. Just let it go."

The Saints remained unaware that Li Fan's journey through Dao Yan proved far from simple.

Still, the dangers weren't overwhelmingly severe.

Compared to the threat of being trapped and consumed by Dao Yan, the real hurdle lay in the absence of guidance and the confusion between past and present.

Previously, the Three Saints served as beacons to follow. All one had to do was head straight for the set destination.

But now, journeying solo without any leaders, Li Fan had to navigate entirely by himself.

The Three Saints had always been present, staying with Mountain Sea from start to finish.

So within the Void Realm, they kept a clear sense of the path ahead.

Li Fan was merely Li Fan.

His passage wasn't entirely effortless.

Luckily, he could rely on experiences from multiple lifetimes of unification efforts.

This shadowy route was one he'd walked inch by inch before.

Somehow, a sense of recognition crept in.

Exciting but not truly perilous, he arrived at his goal.

Right before Suo's encirclement in Mountain Sea!

"When true becomes false, false is true!"

With a single intention, the True and False Dao wrapped around him, turning his form into nothingness.

In a flash, he bypassed the intricate devouring web woven by Suo and slipped into Mountain Sea.

The view appeared straightforward, much like a typical Mountain Sea.

It resembled the earlier scene in Xuanhuang World where networks stretched across the heavens.

High in the sky, faint intersecting lines could be seen.

Additionally, numerous breaks existed, as if chunks had been gulped down, exposing eerie swirling darkness.

The whole of Mountain Sea brimmed with Suo's hunger to consume, twisting the essence of creatures along with Heaven and Earth.

"All things vie for dominance, mortals and immortals clash, and in the end, it all feeds Suo's Taotie jaws."

"No outside power to interfere."

Li Fan let out a cold snort.

"Dao Yan..."

"Come back!"

His eyes cut through Mountain Sea, pushing past the many barriers of Suo's web to probe deep into the Void Realm.

Drawing on the familiarity from a prior life bathed in starlight, Li Fan now positioned himself as the lure, drawing a huge surge of Dao Yan from the Void Realm straight here!

One should remember that Mountain Sea at this point drew the Void Realm's attention, with Dao Yan clustering in unusually thick concentrations.

Spotting an opening to exploit, it rushed in without delay.

Dao Yan burst forth like a raging flood, erupting abruptly within Mountain Sea!

Suo froze in shock, baffled at how the Void Realm pierced its defenses to steal its prey right from under it.

Yet Li Fan's plan extended beyond just this.

"You've crossed vast distances to arrive. Surely this minor stir won't quench your thirst?"

"Living Being Veins."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and extended his hand to yank out tens of thousands of living beings from Mountain Sea.

These hadn't sprung from Mountain Sea naturally but originated from Qiu Tianhui’s Living Dao.

With a light crush, the beings in his grasp crumbled, transforming into myriad stars.

Li Fan then channeled them into the hidden veins of Mountain Sea’s living beings.

Half directed toward the past, half aimed at the future.

In the earlier life, the Mountain Sea Saints focused only on awakening Mountain Sea's built-in defenses. That's why they suggested a restrained infiltration.

But this time around, Li Fan held nothing back.

The glow from the shattered tens of thousands of living beings illuminated the veins, making them starkly apparent.

The horde of Dao Yan charged right in!

Mountain Sea plunged into obscurity, descending into utter disorder.

Even Suo felt the impact.

While Suo's power allowed it to endure inside Dao Yan, it couldn't safeguard Mountain Sea.

Besides, this crossing had been solely for Mountain Sea's Living Dao.

Now, that living vein in Mountain Sea had inexplicably drawn the Void Realm's assault, turning into an invasion route...

Suo seethed with fury.

However, chaos gripped Mountain Sea already—the cause stayed hidden despite frantic probing.

Suo had no choice but to withdraw in frustration.

After all that exertion, not only did it gain nothing, but the transit itself drained resources.

It was just like the proverb: scheming to nab the fowl only to forfeit the grain.

Li Fan lurked in the darkness, eyeing Suo's slow retreat with icy eyes as he reached out into the void.

"Who?!"

Sensing a frosty energy sweep over it and siphon a sliver of its core, Suo exploded in alarm and rage.

But after a brief pause, Suo chose to hasten its flight.

"This weird event clearly aims at me."

"I concealed myself so carefully, but still got spotted?"

"Which old acquaintance is behind this?"

Suo grieved over the lost fragment of itself, irritation boiling over.

Yet the current circumstances were murky, with snares already laid for it.

Lingering longer could spell its doom.

Though filled with resentment, Suo returned to Mountain Sea's origin point.

"Such a shame."

Li Fan savored the essence of Suo's devouring Mountain and Sea Dao, glancing at the characters sharpening in the Great Dao Returns to Truth, feeling a touch disappointed.

With his present power, direct clashes with Suo remained out of reach, so he settled for this subtle harvesting.

"Harvest enough times, and it might just become legitimate!"

As Suo's web pulled back, what lingered was the clash between the Void Realm and Mountain Sea.

And thanks to Li Fan's covert directing from within, Mountain Sea's outer barriers—even the radiant Xuanji Ring set by All Saints—proved utterly useless!

The flood of Dao Yan surged via Mountain Sea’s living vein.

What was once the wellspring of life in Mountain Sea now acted as a conduit for lethal toxin.

Versus gradual outside corrosion, this method boosted speed by hundreds of folds!

Soon after, though the main body of Mountain Sea held firm, the detached segments on all three sides had already succumbed to a Dao Yan frenzy.

It's clear that without halting this surge, Mountain Sea faces total collapse in moments.

All Saints paled at the sight, but the turmoil had spiraled past their control.

The Three Saints shared looks, as if ready to commit to a bold choice.

Suddenly then, Mountain Sea itself thundered in the midst of the peril.

A tremendous force burst from its core.

In mere instants, it pushed back the Dao Yan rush a bit.

But nowhere near the ease of the prior life.

Dao Yan had seized an early edge, halted by Mountain Sea's mighty force yet still rooted deep in the Holy Spirit vein.

They battled fiercely there as a crucial front, refusing to give ground.

For the moment, a stalemate formed.

The Saints worked hard to keep things from deteriorating further.

Li Fan stayed concealed in the gloom: "Just as I thought. Until that critical instant hits, even facing massive breakdown, Mountain Sea won't choose the petrification stall tactic."

"I hope my fortune this round lets me see a new god's emergence once more."

Regrettably, events unfolded contrary to his hopes.

Li Fan lingered in wait for ages, yet no shift appeared.

This instance, the conflict at Mountain Sea's divine division's start didn't settle swiftly.

"Maybe I didn't harvest intensely enough?" Li Fan mused, stroking his chin involuntarily.
