My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1665 - 1388: The Resurrection of the Tian Beast_2
For example, a fan capable of spying on and altering human emotions, or an empty scroll capable of slowly bringing the reflected objects into reality.
Then there’s a layer of skin that can almost completely transform into another person, their Divine Soul and appearance remarkably similar, making it nearly impossible for ordinary means to distinguish.
Although semi-immortal artifacts are extraordinary and mystical, they no longer hold much value in Li Fan’s eyes.
At this moment, he simply collected them all, to nourish the Xuanhuang World!
Thirteen spheres of light slowly floated out from the Illusion Array, transitioning from the ethereal to the tangible.
Inside the Illusion Array, their owners still held mastery over these Exotic Treasures.
Yet in reality, they silently fell under Li Fan’s control.
The spheres of light gathered, and even the Heavenly Dao of Xuanhuang seemed to sense what was about to happen next.
A wave of excitement rippled forth, any prior traces of dissatisfaction toward Li Fan had long since dissipated.
Li Fan did not immediately refine these Immortal Instruments; instead, he carefully observed them first.
"Just like the Immeasurable Mirror, every Immortal Instrument carries traces, more or less, of the Obliteration Storm Calamity."
"Some even still harbor considerable remnants of the storm."
After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Fan followed the previous method and used Essence of Source Power as bait to lure out all hidden traces of the Obliteration Storm Calamity within these thirteen Immortal Instruments.
Meticulously, he gathered them in one place, sealing and preserving them with strands of golden thread.
"The Obliteration Storm Calamity, though seemingly produced specifically for Immortal Instruments, remains an incredibly terrifying force capable of grinding them down. Anyone below True Immortal would flee at its sight."
"Even if it doesn’t escalate into a Path-obliterating Calamity, collecting it in large quantities is still an effective trump card."
Recalling how the Supreme figures, including those who transmitted the Law, reacted to the outbreak of Obliteration Storm Calamity in his past lifetimes, Li Fan could not help but ponder.
With the calamity extracted, these semi-immortal artifacts became increasingly appetizing in the eyes of the Xuanhuang Realm Celestial Way.
It urged Li Fan ceaselessly.
Li Fan remained unmoved, standing silently for more than half a day, heightening the Xuanhuang World’s anticipation.
Only then, under the incessant yearning from the Xuanhuang World, did he proceed to the next step.
"The Xuanhuang World-Ending Transformation, as time flows, the Vast Ocean turns to mulberry fields!"
Such a transformation would only arise when the Xuanhuang World faced the crisis of annihilation. Yet at this moment, the world was brimming with vitality, and the transformation did not yet exist.
Similar to the previous refinement of the Immeasurable Mirror.
Under the shroud of mysterious power, the space containing the thirteen semi-immortal artifacts seemed to accelerate in time flow by hundreds and thousands of times.
The forces of Heaven and Earth surged continuously. Like a stomach, they worked to digest these semi-immortal artifacts.
The semi-immortal artifacts gradually dimmed and blurred.
Li Fan raised his head slightly and sensed the reappearance of the Essence of Heaven and Earth responsible for transforming Immortal Instruments into Natural Treasures.
His heart stirred as he covertly observed the actions of the transparent figure.
In the past, it had only been capable of "transporting" a single artifact remnant at once, perhaps two at most.
Now it faced an array of thirteen artifacts laid before it, appearing somewhat hesitant.
"Don’t worry, I’m here," Li Fan conveyed a friendly intent.
The Essence of Heaven and Earth, a manifestation of the laws of the Xuanhuang World, naturally retained its affinity with Li Fan.
After nodding slightly toward Li Fan, it made a selection and then wrapped three semi-immortal artifacts before reintegrating into the Xuanhuang Heavenly Earth.
Witnessing this, Li Fan composed himself and focused his attention.
Based on prior observations, the Essence of Heaven and Earth would "transport" the digested semi-immortal artifacts into the bodies of newborn entities in the Xuanhuang World to become companion treasures for the newly birthed lifeforms.
Yet now, with the majority of living beings in the Xuanhuang World under the enshrouding Immortal Array and asleep, what would it do next?
Subsequent events demonstrated that humans and even animals and plants were simply parts of Heaven and Earth—and far from indispensable ones.
Even without their assistance in "digestion,"
The Xuanhuang World still uncovered alternative methods.
Jiushan Province’s nine towering mountain ranges trembled violently without warning.
BOOM! BOOM!
Amid an apocalyptic uproar, the nine mountain ranges collapsed one after another.
The plumes of dust from the falling mountains blotted out the skies.
The ground quaked continuously under the lingering reverberations of destruction.
Were it not for the power of the Immortal Array shielding the slumbering living beings, this catastrophic calamity could have taken the lives of more than ninety percent of Jiushan Province’s inhabitants.
Li Fan watched the Xuanhuang World’s act of self-destruction with a trace of amusement.
Soon after, an intense gleam flashed in his eyes.
Foregoing distant observation, he drew his Wood Sword and personally entered Jiushan Province.
As the dust settled, the transformed terrain revealed an unusual form of life in gestation amid the newly created hills.
From its body, Li Fan discerned traces of the three semi-immortal artifacts previously transported by the Essence of Heaven and Earth.
Even more captivating to Li Fan was the newly birthed lifeform’s resemblance to the Mystic Sky Sect’s sacred beast, Tian Beast—a close match to about seventy or eighty percent!
Though just born, it already occupied a fifth of Jiushan Province’s size.
The newborn appeared to be in deep slumber, its snoring thunderous.
Li Fan keenly detected that as the small Tian Beast grew in its sleep, its colossal form began to shrink instead—constantly condensing!
Li Fan’s heart surged with joy: "In my previous life, I heard from Mo Rubing that the Tian Beast was, in truth, a jade pendant brought down by the King of Mystic Sky from the Immortal World."
"Though the Tian Beast later perished in battle and transformed into the nine mountains, it seems it merely depleted its energy and reverted to its jade pendant form."
"The Xuanhuang World, searching for a vessel to digest the Immortal Instruments, naturally discovered this slumbering Tian Beast due to almost all cultivators being in suspended animation!"
While Li Fan’s thoughts raced, the small Tian Beast rapidly condensed down to the size of an adult’s palm.
In that brief time, the three semi-immortal artifacts within its body had become almost imperceptible!
"As expected of a lifeform from the Immortal World—the digestive capacity is terrifying." freewebnσvel.cѳm
Even Li Fan was astounded, concealing all his aura as he cautiously approached the small Tian Beast.
He grasped the slumbering creature and lifted it up.
Despite being in its infant stage, the small Tian Beast felt as formidable as a Unity-Path cultivator of the Xuanhuang World.
