Chapter 1034 Magic shadow eternal heart
Even before Li Fan lifted the restriction on the foundation building cultivator, Jiang Nian'er had already awakened from her cultivation ahead of time.
Mentally alert, she began to repeat the process of setting up formations in her mind.
Now as a Qi-refining stage cultivator, he was well aware that he couldn't hold up against opponents in the foundation building realm with just one move.
Either the opponent would kill him with one move, or...
He would lay down the formation before the opponent made a move!
Facing life and death, Jiang Nian'er pushed his potential to the limit.
Although it was his first time setting up a formation, it was as if it had been practiced a thousand times, and it was completed in an instant.
Watching the opponent in the Dragon-Trapping Formation searching for a way out, Jiang Nian'er knew that he had already won half of this competition.
Next, it was about who could endure longer between himself and the opponent.
A hint of determination flashed in Jiang Nian'er's eyes as he again squeezed out his potential.
He absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy at an even faster rate.
"There are over a hundred thousand people on the island, and I'm the only one left alive! How can I die here?"
"Even if you're a foundation building cultivator, you can't expect to win against me!"
A hint of hostility arose in Jiang Nian'er's heart.
Correspondingly, the color of the world within the Dragon-Trapping Formation changed. Countless bamboo leaves flew like green flying knives, attacking the foundation-building cultivator.
...
"It seems that he will have no problem winning this battle."
Every change in Jiang Nian'er's actions was clearly seen by Li Fan.
While helping Jiang Nian'er reshape his body, Li Fan also placed eye lines throughout his body.
After all, he needed to observe the strange devouring process in detail, so he had to be prepared.
This fair duel did not last very long.
Even though he was just an ordinary foundation building cultivator, he had already used up all his energy, probably just to exchange for a foundation building technique.
It was clear that he was clueless about formations, and he raged unsuccessfully for most of the time in the Dragon-Trapping Formation, ultimately being completely defeated.
He was at death's door.
Jiang Nian'er did not boast, but simply removed the formation.
He silently looked at the opponent outside the formation and said, "In this competition, I have won."
"It's coming..." Li Fan's spirit shook.
From the perspective of heaven and earth, he clearly saw that as Jiang Nian'er spoke, the previously silent darkness suddenly erupted like an expanding shadow beast, enveloping the foundation building cultivator.
And then completely engulfing him.
Jiang Nian'er's original body became somewhat blurred.
The strange dark force completely connected him with the foundation building cultivator.
It was like a pair of giant hands forcibly squeezing them together.
A moment later...
Jiang Nian'er disappeared in place.
The foundation building cultivator, who was originally on the verge of death in the formation, suddenly flashed a bright light in his eyes.
Like a withered tree in the spring, his aura prospered a thousand times over.
He stood still for a while, then completely digested the memories of the foundation building cultivator in his mind.
"Survival of the fittest, this is the way of the world. Who made you lose..." He muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming resolute.
Li Fan could see that the consciousness of the original foundation building cultivator in Jiang Nian'er's sea of consciousness was wailing like a resentful ghost, but had no other means of resistance and was easily suppressed by Jiang Nian'er.
After becoming familiar with his new body, Jiang Nian'er slowly stood up and removed the Dragon-Trapping Formation before bowing to Li Fan.
"How does it feel to have the strength of a foundation building cultivator?" Li Fan asked with a smile.
"It's very powerful. But compared to seniors..." Jiang Nian'er didn't dare to look up.
"Hehe, with your abilities, as long as you continue to devour step by step, from foundation building to Golden Core, and then to Nascent Soul..."
"Isn't it just a matter of time before you surpass me."
As soon as Li Fan said this, Jiang Nian'er felt like he had been struck by lightning, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Because this sentence was exactly what he had just thought deep inside!
Without any excuse or defiance, Jiang Nian'er's heart turned as cold as ice.
He knew that his life was in the hands of the other party. He kept his forehead on the ground, not daring to move.
After a while, Jiang Nian'er felt that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat all over.
At this moment, he heard Li Fan's voice.
"You may rise."
Jiang Nian'er finally relaxed, feeling relieved.
"The higher the cultivation level, the greater the difference between realms."
"Those who can defeat a Golden Core cultivator in the foundation building realm are arrogant. But those who can defeat a Longevity cultivator with the Dao..."
"It's unheard of."
"If you want to seek revenge against me, then you should reach the Longevity realm first."
Jiang Nian'er felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the joy of his recent victory in the duel vanished in an instant.
"The Longevity realm..."
These three words felt like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.
After waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear any more sound from the other party.
Courageously, Jiang Nian'er raised his head to look around.
He realized that the mysterious person had already disappeared, leaving him alone on Fanrong Island.
Feeling drained, Jiang Nian'er sat on the ground.
Many things that had happened since the strange outbreak surged through his mind, and finally settled down.
"Wen Nianyu..."
"From now on, I am Wen Nianyu."
Jiang Nian'er first checked his belongings and then flew towards Wanxian Island.
At first, his flight trajectory was somewhat erratic, but later it became a straight line, and his speed increased.
...
Li Fan's figure slowly appeared.
"This kid has good adaptability."
"I'll send him back to the Wanxian Alliance first and see if the official authorities of the alliance will notice the strange power he possesses."
Earlier, Li Fan had observed the process of fusion and devouring very clearly.
In fact, Jiang Nian'er was of little use to him now.
But Li Fan had a faint feeling that perhaps Jiang Nian'er's style of behavior and means might bring him some surprises.
"Strange power is actually a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, which can also be used."
"Previously, it was used to create the Feitian Arrow, and it can even have a widespread impact on the Xuanwang, which has already replaced the heavens."
"If applied to the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm, it would bring chaos and intrigue within several states."
Having found and completed one research target, Li Fan did not immediately leave the Congyun Sea, but continued to travel between many places where strange outbreaks had occurred.
Occasionally, he saw the cultivators of the Tianji Hall and the Yandwu Hall of the Wanxian Alliance dealing with the situation, but most of them had already fallen into a deadly silence.
In the Congyun Sea area, facing such a large-scale outbreak of strangeness, they were obviously overwhelmed.
But with the return of Gong Sunqixuan, the situation improved.
Gong Sunqixuan, the head of the Tianji Hall in the Congyun Sea area.
He was weak and sickly, with the appearance of a scholar.
He had been responsible for monitoring the strange conditions within the Congyun Sea.
