My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2338 - 1746: Void Realm New God Battle_2

"Now, the Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map mirrors the mountains and seas, its core essence tied to Dao Yan."

"Pushing forward into Dao Yan, drawing back to recreate Heaven and Earth. What an incredible tool with boundless applications!"

"Guarded by this map, there's no requirement for True Spirit Infusion, allowing one to bypass Dao Yan's dangers and journey through the ancient Void Realm!"

"Of course..."

"It's only an illusion, not the real Dao Yan. Fooling the Dao Yan forces in the Void Realm might work, but it absolutely can't evade the being controlling the Void Realm. Even the All Saints' avatars inside the Void Realm could spot it without effort. Entering there still demands great care."

Li Fan wouldn't allow the short-lived ease to blur his sharp assessment.

He also remembered the objectives he'd outlined before.

The Mountain and Sea Return to God approached its closing phase.

However, the developments took surprising turns.

This freshly formed deity behaved in a manner far removed from the last one.

The earlier newborn deity feigned defeat, drawing out the concealed surviving saints.

In contrast, this current newborn deity moved boldly, dominating every direction.

With each breath it took, the vortex of Mountain and Sea sustenance whirled more rapidly, engulfing everything in its path.

Slowly, beyond the Void Realm, just the new deity remained solitary.

As Mountain and Sea vanished, no refuge persisted. Four glowing specks—green, purple, blue, and white—were compelled to emerge.

The new deity's eyes locked on the green glow, which got devoured entirely without a fight.

The other three lights dispersed in panic like startled creatures.

But their flight pace noticeably slowed down.

In the end, they halted and merged back into the deity.

"Maybe because of the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele, my concealment inside the Dao Yi Diagram weakens the deity's hold on me."

"Provided there's no head-on clash with the new deity, secret observation keeps detection at bay."

Once the new deity finishes absorbing Mountain and Sea, the following clash will target the Void Realm.

Li Fan guided the Dao Yi Diagram, plunging deeper into Dao Yan's core.

The recently consumed deity lingered motionless in the emptiness for an extended period.

It appeared to detect an absence, continuing its search.

Although Li Fan had buried himself amid multiple layers of Dao Yan's aura, not even divine might could readily uncover him.

After gathering its strength, the Void Realm at last sounded the call to arms against the new deity.

From the Void Realm's perspective, mountains, seas, and new deities were indistinguishable.

They represented varied forms of the identical power.

Its duty involved destruction and dedication to the supreme overlord.

The new deity's intake of Mountain and Sea had trimmed away all but the ultimate foe, saving vast amounts of power.

During this climactic confrontation, myriad Dao Yan surged upward unprecedentedly.

Shadowy torrents twisted together like coiling serpents.

Surrounding assault and massacre crashed down on the new deity!

As fewer Dao Yan allies for hiding remained, Li Fan's shelter in the Dao Yi Diagram turned increasingly hazardous.

Li Fan even vaguely perceived the presence ruling the Void Realm.

But he refrained from actual surveillance, focusing solely on staying concealed and awaiting the result of the new deity's feud with the Void Realm.

The fight endured just an instant before exceeding Li Fan's range of sight.

Amid the endless gloom, faint silhouettes of the new deity flickered now and then.

Waves crashed outward, each more forceful than the previous.

Thanks to the Boundaryless Stele's safeguard, the Dao Yi Diagram came close to exposure several times.

Luckily, amid the fierce showdown, neither the new deity nor the Void Realm's ruler spared attention for side matters.

Thus, Li Fan managed to stay undetected.

Although vision stayed blocked, Li Fan concentrated fully, meticulously noting the conflict between the new deity and Void Realm.

"Reviewing it over and over later on, the lessons learned could rival those from watching Mountain and Sea."

Under relentless battering from the waves, the landscape depictions on the map started shifting in mysterious ways.

Li Fan spotted this change right away.

Still, upon reflection, Li Fan saw potential gains in it. He chose not to interfere.

Letting the surges from the new deity and Void Realm's clash remold the Dao Yi Diagram.

In the emptiness, moments slipped by unnoticed.

The new deity's emergence carried more vigor than the fading Mountain and Sea.

Their contest dragged on endlessly, yielding no clear victor.

Through ongoing tempering by the waves, the Dao Yi Diagram slowly adjusted to the fight's echoes.

Li Fan sat calmly inside the diagram, like a serene ancient monk.

He etched every nuance of the wave's undulations into his mind.

A serene consciousness slowly emptied of emotions, peaceful and free of stray ideas.

At last, after a considerable stretch, wisps of silver threaded through Li Fan's hair in the Saint Realm.

The waves resounding in the void at last ebbed from fierce to faint.

Li Fan's pulse quickened abruptly then.

Within the shadows, it felt like something strained to escape its bonds.

Li Fan recognized this sensation well.

It was exactly [Star]!

Merely, in past viewings of the star's coming, it coincided with Mountain and Sea's ruin and Lone Star's rise.

This instance, it trailed the new deity's waning, as the prison holding the Lone Star loosened. That solitary star pounded relentlessly, announcing its comeback with mounting fury!

"As expected in my foresight, be it Mountain and Sea or the new deity, both must confront the inevitable fall of the Lone Star."

Li Fan grew extra vigilant, erasing any notions tied to 'Star' and shunning all mental images.

The conclusion stood fixed; the deity's resistance amounted to futile effort.

Even so, the deity's end didn't strike right away.

When Li Fan's locks had gone fully gray, no more stirrings came from the void.

Absolute stillness of death sparked absolute life force.

The Void Realm roiled in constant turmoil, its throbs growing ever stronger.

The Lone Star stood ready to plunge into existence at any instant.

Yet for some reason, an element felt absent.

Did it fail to appear?

Having gone so long without contemplation, Li Fan's thoughts stayed vacant.

Until an odd ripple swept the void, at last pinpointing Li Fan.

His divine awareness snapped back to life immediately.

Similar to the massive vortex spawned by the new deity, now in the Void Realm, centered on Li Fan, another enormous vortex quietly formed.

However, this one aimed not to sustain Li Fan.

Instead, it sought to devour him!

The Dao Yi Bug was after all not genuine Dao Yan.

With the disguise brutally torn away, what followed were blows far more intense than any prior.

As though in the crusade against divinities, Dao Yan achieved some elevated state.

Beneath the onslaught of Dao Yan's surges, all features on the Mountain and Sea map seemed wiped clean.

The rich scenery swiftly turned barren.

"The moment has come!"

Li Fan held steady without alarm, activating True and False Changes in a surge.

Not out of practice after disuse, it flowed naturally, executed with mastery.

The very second True and False concealed him, Li Fan ruthlessly tore the final scraps of the Mountain and Sea map into oblivion.

Myriad Dao Yi Bugs scattered chaotically amid the disaster. Yet disunited now, as isolated groups, they fell quickly to Dao Yan's purge.

And at Dao Yi's heart, the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele once again faced the open expanse.

The Void Realm's vortex halted on its account.

The star's throbs appeared to falter too.

Then, as if obeying an order, endless Dao Yan disregarded the scattering Dao Yi Bugs and rushed at the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele!

"This is..."

Li Fan sharply detected the thrill rising from Dao Yan.

And that rush of Dao Yan stemmed from the [Star]'s intent.

"It feels like..."

"As though the star has never before taken in the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele?"

Seeing this spectacle, an odd feeling stirred in Li Fan's core.

The ensuing shocking event validated his hunch.

Under Dao Yan's strikes, the numerous Dao marks carved on the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele sharpened in clarity.

Even vague outlines of forms began to surface.

The imprints once made by All Saints upon the Boundaryless Stele.

Including the Tai Chu Living Beings, the Three Saints.

Li Fan even caught sight of his own figure.

Shapes darted out encircling it, as the Boundaryless Stele gradually dissolved into the void.

As if fulfilling its purpose, it abruptly folded inward to a lone dot.

Poised to disappear entirely.

Right at that point, a beam of starlight sliced through the dark.

Fixing that dot in position.
