Before he became a semi-immortal, Li Fan had used the faceless stone statue several times to call upon this dark power. It can be said that he was very familiar with it.
Now that he has reached the level of a semi-immortal, it is easy for him to capture the energy that has been accumulated in this dark sea for many years.
Li Fan was not the master of the dark power. Therefore, during the capture process, they also showed some great resistance. But Li Fan was no longer the same as before. With one force defeating ten skills, the resistance of the dark power was useless.
They all came obediently into Li Fan's hands.
Because it was the "near immortal power" bred from the corpse of a true immortal, it actually possessed some properties similar to the "infinite" immortal power. Gathered in Li Fan's palm, it seemed to be constantly compressed without end.
When the entire dark sea was absorbed by Li Fan and became no longer dark, there was only one black but slightly shiny small round bead in Li Fan's palm.
When the darkness that had been settling for a long time finally dissipated, Li Fan was able to see clearly the remains of the true immortal here.
Or rather, the remains of the remains.
The corpse of the True Immortal had been used as nutrients by the Soul Gathering and Immortal Ascension Formation and had been completely drained of its energy. Only a few traces thinner than a shadow remained.
If Li Fan had not been able to observe closely from a high position as a True Immortal, he would probably not have been able to see the last trace left by the fallen True Immortal.
"Go away, Immortal~"
Li Fan stared at the remains for a long time. The traces were too fragile and no useful information could be left.
He blew gently to make it dissipate completely.
It's not that Li Fan suddenly had a kind heart and wanted to help the deceased immortal to be reincarnated.
Instead, he wanted to use the opportunity of clearing this trace to observe whether there are other remnants of true immortals in this dark sea.
There were no unexpected results.
Apart from the immortals' desire to survive and a few faint roars, there were no more waves in the vast dark sea, or even the entire Xuanhuang Realm and the countless stars in the experimental field.
"It seems that this True Immortal is probably really dead."
The original purpose of building the Soul Gathering and Immortality Ascension Formation in the Dark Sea was to serve as a source of power for the Xuanhuang Realm to escape from the Immortal Ruins.
And now Li Fan can, by his own strength, pull the Xuanhuang Realm out of the attraction of the Immortal Ruins.
The strength he could display, even if it was partially aided by Shouqiu's phantom, was still far greater than the entire Dark Sea.
The process of subjugation went smoothly and is also being cleared up.
Li Fan turned his gaze to the last participant here.
The true immortal's desire to survive.
It looked like the shadow of a dead branch, or a hunched human figure. After sensing Li Fan's presence, it showed a mixture of fear and desire.
It was like a wild animal in the forest seeing a hunter going into the mountains, watching from the dark, wavering between fleeing and being greedy.
Li Fan separated a bit of his energy and fed it to the True Immortal's desire to survive, just like feeding a pet.
After circling it a few times in order to survive, the Immortal was afraid that the food would slip away, so he wrapped it, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Seeing this, Li Fan showed a faint smile.
"He really is a fool who only has the instinct to make a living."
"The Mo Sha Immortal Soul is a version that has been integrated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. How can you digest it so easily?"
The True Immortal wanted to survive and tried to eat the food, but no matter what he did, he couldn't hurt the opponent at all.
Moreover, the food in the stomach is even going to turn around and swallow it from the inside!
The True Immortal let out a terrifying roar in his desire to survive, like an ancient ferocious beast.
However, no matter how it struggled, it could not contend with the power of Mo Sha's immortal soul.
Helplessly rolling and struggling in the deepest part of the dark sea.
When the dust settled, the True Immortal's desire to survive had already transformed into one of the countless images of the Mo Sha Immortal Soul.
Li Fan was still wondering if he could find some memories of the past in this wisp of remaining thoughts of the True Immortal.
But after a careful search, it was discovered that all that was left were instinctive thoughts such as devouring and resurrection.
"What a pity."
"I have not been able to figure out the true identity of this immortal buried at the bottom of the Dark Sea."
"But at best he is just an ordinary True Immortal. It doesn't matter."
Being able to suppress the Nameless Realm with a wave of his hand, Li Fan is now qualified to say so.
He looked at the empty dark sea, wondering how to make use of such a large space in the future.
But suddenly, I felt some inexplicable energy being generated from here.
"Um?"
Obviously, all the sources of energy here have been taken away by him, so where does this new energy come from?
Li Fan was a little surprised, but not panicked.
After searching with his divine sense, he discovered that these tiny energies, which looked like countless faint light spots, actually came from all over the Xuanhuang Realm.
These spots of light are even more subtle than the remnants of the true immortal's remains.
If it had not suddenly appeared in the completely drained dark sea, Li Fan would have subconsciously ignored it.
Li Fan photographed the light spots and found that the moment they were touched, they exploded and disappeared like bubbles.
It also seemed that it did not exist in Li Fan's body. No one knew where it had gone.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Fan absorbed all the light spots into his hands and condensed them into a ball of light. He observed carefully.
Only when the scale rose to a certain level did Li Fan feel inexplicably familiar with it.
"This is..."
"Spiritual?"
"No. It doesn't even involve the level of Huanzhen. It's much lower level."
"But it is still a gathering of cultivation talents to a certain extent."
Collecting the light ball and the black ball formed by the dark sea together, Li Fan seemed to have figured out what was going on.
"In the original setting, all living beings in Xuanhuang were just chess pieces on a chessboard. When they were created, their various attributes were already designed. Height, appearance, talent, temperament."
"These light balls are the power bestowed upon all living beings by the natural operation of the Xuanhuang Realm. But now they are being absorbed by the Dark Sea because the True Immortal's desire to survive sensed the existence of this power and instinctively wanted to snatch it away..."
Li Fan frowned.
"Although all living beings in Xuanhuang are chess pieces, they are chess pieces of the higher-ups in the Immortal Realm. A mere desire to survive…"
He looked up at the existence in the Xuanhuang Realm.
I want to emulate it and plunder the talents of all living beings.
But obviously, it cannot be done.
"The True Immortal's desire to survive has been eliminated by me, but this kind of talent still exists."
Li Fan suddenly remembered a topic he had discussed with Baihua, Qiaogong and others before.
During the catastrophe of destruction, many cultivators had seen from afar their hometowns falling into the Immortal Ruins, everything disintegrating, and forming a dreamlike scene of a strange and twisted light circle. At the same time that the Immortal Cultivation World completely disappeared in the Immortal Ruins, a large amount of matter seemed to be gushing out in the opposite direction. This kind of thing cannot be detected by the naked eye or the divine consciousness, but it does exist.
The former Immortal Puppet Ancestor of the Tianji Realm also became corrupted because of the constant loss of something due to being close to the Immortal Ruins. The skilled worker was also "stupid" at that time and found an excuse.
"The Hungry Immortal has been suppressed by me. The Immortal Ruins no longer exist..."
Li Fan flashed and came to the starry sky outside the Xuanhuang Realm.
Take out half of the light spots.
Here, they did not show any tendency to flow. They just floated quietly in the void. It seemed that they could not stay for long and soon became dim.
Before they completely dissipated, Li Fan collected them again.
Even though it is just a small ball of light, if it is given to one person, the talent of the created cultivator should not be much weaker than Zhang Haobo, Xiao Fan and the like.
"It seems that the Xuanhuang Realm has stayed near the Immortal Ruins for too long, and the world itself has been shaped into this characteristic."
"The innate spirituality of all living things is precipitating in the opposite direction of the suction force of the Immortal Ruins. Even if the Immortal Ruins no longer exist, this trend cannot be completely reversed for a while."
After conducting comparative tests at multiple locations in the Darkest Star Sea, Li Fan came to a preliminary conclusion.
"It's okay as long as there's no evil doing this." He was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.
But naturally, Li Fan was curious about the reason why this phenomenon occurred.
His understanding of the hunger tactic can be said to be the first among the [original] possibilities, except for the Hungry Immortal.
Naturally, when you comprehend the word "hunger", a suction force that can devour everything will be generated around your body.
However, he did not notice that there was something that was not attracted by this suction, but instead actively repelled it and moved away.
It is not difficult to verify this.
In the center of the darkest starry sea, Li Fan cast a hunger spell towards a place not far away.
Although it is not as good as the new Immortal Ruins, it is like a huge whirlpool that suddenly appeared.
The sea of stars became turbulent again.
Li Fan stood still in the waves, and saw a group of You people who were howling in despair because of the disappearance of the Dark Sea.
Throw them into the whirlpool one by one.
Although the You people were strong and could fight the monks, they were no match for the power of the Hunger Art.
They were unable to even struggle and were all turned into dust in the mighty whirlpool.
Without any fluctuation in expression, Li Fan immersed himself and observed each one.
I had never paid special attention to it before, so it was normal to ignore the spiritual substance. This time, Li Fan observed it carefully and indeed found this invisible thing.
In fact, because all members of the You clan are descendants of the first generation of Great Heavenly Venerable Xuanhuang, a considerable amount of spiritual matter extracted from the vortex is quite a lot.
Li Fan was like a gold digger, collecting all the spiritualities.
"Interesting. Why would the enlightenment of the hunger formula produce such a strange phenomenon?"
"Perhaps, it has something to do with the path of [hunger] itself."
Li Fan recalled the scene when he suppressed the hungry immortal not long ago.
In front of the shadow of Lord Shouqiu, even though Hungry Immortal was defeated, he did not give in directly. Instead, he fought hard.
Although the struggle of the hungry fairy was useless, what concerned Li Fan was the deep and ghostly voice of "I'm hungry, I'm so hungry".
Rather than being emitted by a hungry immortal, it seemed more like it came from a mysterious existence outside the Dark Avenue.
It seems to swallow the mountains and drink the sea, turning everything in the world into its own nourishment.
Li Fan suddenly looked at the Hungry Immortal Pillar again.
"There seems to be something wrong with this hunger method."
"It's not the original possibility? But after being devoured, it took over the magpie's nest?"
Li Fan wasn't 100% sure.
But judging from the current signs, it is almost certain.
"Spiritual matter is closely related to the creation of living beings. It is implicitly related to the foundation of the evolution of possibilities. Although the outsider, the Way of Hunger, has occupied the Way on the surface, it has not yet merged with it fundamentally."
"So when it devours everything, this kind of strange phenomenon will occur."
The method to prove Li Fan's guess is in the memory of the hungry immortal.
The hungry immortal has turned into a pillar of heaven, and his past life is available for Li Fan to browse. It won't be too far from the final answer to the mystery.
"Since the alien beasts were able to escape from other possibilities, it is not surprising that there are other outsiders."
"However, if you look at it from the perspective of a later comer, you will find the things ridiculous."
"These outsiders are just like the group of so-called transcendent immortals who escaped from the [Original] possibility. After going through untold hardships, they thought they had found a safe place. But they didn't expect that they would still end up dying."
"Or maybe..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, and light and shadow flickered in his sea of consciousness, and countless possible scenes emerged. With his current deduction ability, even if he didn't know the specific names of the parties involved, he could still infer what happened back then to a certain extent based on the outcome.
"These outsiders who fled here never thought that this place was their last harbor. They just regarded it as a temporary stopover. Since they could escape the first time, they can escape the second and third time..."
"At least, they should think so. Once the calamity of Dao Annihilation comes again, we can just run away again."
"In the fight against disasters, besides the right time, the most important thing is unity. And if there is such a natural escaper hidden among the crowd..."
Li Fan had been a Grand Tutor for decades, so he naturally knew the harm that this kind of black sheep could cause.
It would be fine if you just passively escape. The most terrifying thing is that it will infect, change, and shake the thoughts of the people around you.
It spread like a plague. The consequences are absolutely unimaginable.
"It's not my conjecture."
"There were indeed such people in the Immortal Realm at that time."
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Fan.
"Sun Piaomiao."
"And the group of people who created the fairyland chess pieces."
"There is also Qing Yin, who presided over this fairyland experimental field and then resolutely left, and the True Immortal Ling."
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. One can imagine how many similar characters there were among the immortals in the immortal world back then."
"Even if Emperor Tianluo has a thousand ambitions, he is doomed to fail if he works with this group of people. If it were me, I would first use the fishing method to gather all these fugitives together. Then I would kill them all!"
"While proving people's true feelings, we can also obtain a batch of consumables to resist Dao Yan..."
As Li Fan thought about this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
It's not that Li Fan really wants to be the savior of the world. It's just a revery of his own thoughts while thinking about the past.
All the things in the past have become a bubble.
Today, only ruins are left to hold on to the original possibilities.
All Li Fan could do was to move to another place like those refugees.
