Chapter 1062 The 1057th Palm of the First Thousand
After getting permission from Li Fan, Tianyang's body changed in an instant.
A faint blue light enveloped him, and his skin became metallic in texture.
Tianyang spoke with a voice that was half mechanical and half childlike, "The body of flesh and blood has a natural disadvantage. How can it compare to a body of metal and stone?"
"Like me, all kinds of rare materials in the world can be turned into nutrients to strengthen the body."
"The theoretical limit of strength is my body's limit!"
As he spoke, Tianyang slowly clenched his fist, and an infinite suction seemed to emanate from his fist.
In the depths of the Hualing River, a huge vortex formed in an instant. The tremendous force it brought made Li Fan and the others almost unable to stabilize their bodies in the turbulent flow.
After gathering strength, Tianyang slowly threw a punch at Huang.
The three transmission masters all turned pale.
But Huang was locked in by the force of the punch, unable to move at all.
As Tianyang's slow punch was about to strike him directly, at the critical moment, a burst of golden light erupted from Huang's two heads and four eyes. The sound of bones breaking, like the sound of rain, suddenly filled the air, and his originally shriveled body expanded like a balloon in the blink of an eye, filled with sharply defined muscles like carved knives. Huang roared and all four hands protected his body, attempting to block Tianyang's tiny fist.
A muffled thunder-like sound rang out.
The fists of the two clashed, and they remained locked in place.
After a moment, Tianyang slowly retracted his fist, "This time, I used only 50% of my strength. But this is far from my limit."
"But it should be your limit."
After speaking, Huang's body slumped like soft mud.
After a brief moment of shock, Li Fan and the others realized that Huang was not in any life-threatening danger, but merely exhausted.
Even in defeat, Huang did not show anger or resentment, but began to ponder the words Tianyang had spoken.
"To replace flesh and blood with a body of metal and stone?"
In fact, he had considered walking this path before.
However, as a human cultivator, he ultimately had concerns about abandoning flesh and blood and becoming a puppet-like existence. Most importantly, there was no precedent to follow. Once the transformation was complete, there would be no turning back. If the power of the body of metal and stone ultimately did not surpass the power of the flesh and blood body, he would become the laughingstock of all transmission masters.
But today, Tianyang's appearance showed him a completely new and seemingly infinite path.
"Perhaps, I can use this to break free from the shackles of the celestial beings and become the only immortal power among the transmission masters." A dangerous thought emerged from Huang's mind. Once it appeared, it began to inexorably erode his heart.
Li Fan, who was observing Huang's subtle changes, knew that the seed had been planted, and he couldn't help but smile inwardly.
Without the essence of source energy, it was impossible to achieve Tianyang's current strength solely through the transformation of the body into one of metal and stone. Once Huang began an irreversible attempt and repeatedly ran into obstacles, he would inevitably seek help from Tianyang at all costs. At that time, Li Fan would have countless ways to manipulate him.
Using the opportunity of the recent fist fight, Tianyang secretly absorbed a large amount of water from the Hualing River.
Having achieved his goal, Li Fan allowed Tianyang to return to his original state and come back to his side.
The two transmission masters also quickly stepped forward to treat Huang's injuries.
"We shouldn't stay here. Let's return and then discuss our next steps."
The group quietly flew out of the Hualing Gorge.
The disturbance caused by the recent fight in the Hualing River ultimately attracted the attention of the cultivators guarding the Hualing Gorge. However, after investigating, they found no cause for the disturbance. Following the principle of not seeking trouble when there is none, they chose not to report the matter.
In the private world of the transmission master Zhou.
Tianyang's attack had crushed Huang, confirming his strength in the immortal realm.
So the group began to formally discuss their next plan.
They were still on the top floor of the Neon Light Sea.
Huang's injuries had already healed on the way back, and one of his heads and eyes were closed, while the other was secretly observing Tianyang behind Li Fan.
Tianyang was also pretending to sleep.
The discussion continued among Li Fan, Zhou, and Wei.
"With Huang's support, the likelihood of convincing Jiang to convene the Oath of Transmission is almost one hundred percent."
"As long as we can lure him out according to the plan."
Li Fan then interjected, "According to the assessment of the elders of the Union, and considering the current situation in the Xuanhuang Realm, they have proposed a plan."
"To create enough momentum and cause enough trouble that Jiang, a non-transmission master in the Union, cannot solve. But without actually destroying the Xuanhuang Realm..."
Li Fan paused and gave a mysterious smile, "Let's see how this plan works."
He lightly tapped the air with his index finger, and a small golden light ball flew over.
After Zhou and Wei examined the contents of the light ball, a hint of astonishment flashed in their eyes.
"Good." After communication, the two nodded.
"Alright. With that, my Union can begin to prepare in earnest. But the performance must be convincing, and we need your cooperation in this." Li Fan said.
"Don't worry. Although we were expelled from the council of transmission masters, we have been deeply involved for many years and still have some control over the various domains of the Union. Assisting your Union in staging this world-ending play should not be a problem." Transmission Master Zhou said in a deep voice.
After further discussion, Li Fan and Tianyang left the area.
Back in the Spiritwood Realm, Tianyang poured out the water from the Hualing River that he had taken. Skilled craftsmen began to research whether it could be replicated and mass-produced.
Meanwhile, Li Fan went to the "World-Ending" space and took out one of the specimens.
Although it was a play staged to attract the transmission master Jiang, in Li Fan's eyes, this was a preview of the final world-ending event in this world.
"Through this opportunity, many arrangements can be made with the help of these transmission masters. Transmission masters are closely related to the celestial beings. At that time, even if the true immortals and the cultivators of the Xianxu Immortal Realm can vaguely sense that someone is plotting behind the scenes, the first thing that comes to their minds will be the transmission masters."
"Although the current strength of the transmission masters cannot directly compete with the true immortals, they should be able to hold out for a while..."
With that in mind, Li Fan activated the Soul-Burning Full Load state and began to prepare the props needed for the world-ending event at maximum efficiency.
Slowly, the originally empty world-ending space began to be filled.
Three months of preparation time passed in the blink of an eye.
Under the collaboration of Li Fan and the three transmission masters, various unusual events began to appear in the various domains of the Union.
