Chapter 1149 Annihilation of the Abscess
The Qingxuan army has been guarding the Abyss for too long.
Some people have been here since birth and have never left until death.
Family, friends.
Everything they are familiar with blooms and then withers in the Eternal Immortal Stronghold.
For most of the Qingxuan army, the various beauties of the true Xuanhuang Realm they guard are only heard of in the Tianxuan Mirror.
They have never truly seen them with their own eyes.
And the horror of the Abyss makes it impossible for them to even have the illusion of leaving one day.
But now...
Li Fan's appearance brings endless darkness to their lives, bringing a glimmer of hope.
"If the two adults join forces, maybe we can truly eliminate the demonic sound..."
The Qingxuan army cheered, eagerly watching Li Fan and Shang Shaoren standing outside the Abyss.
"The cruelest thing in the world is to give hope, and then mercilessly shatter it," Shang Shaoren looked at the expressions of his subordinates and sighed softly.
"I only agreed to your request under duress. But in reality, I am not optimistic," he transmitted.
"The terrifying thing about the Abyss is not just the demonic sound. Otherwise, a casual magic practitioner from the Immortal Alliance could easily suppress it. What really worries the top level of the Immortal Alliance is the twisted path of destruction that comes from the bottom of the Abyss."
"It's like a wound. If it is pierced, pus will flow out and infect the Xuanhuang Realm..."
Forced by circumstances, Shang Shaoren had to reveal the reasons why the Immortal Alliance only guarded but did not choose to permanently eliminate the problem.
"The demonic sound is just a manifestation. To truly eliminate the demonic sound, we need to address this wound while suppressing the demonic sound."
Shang Shaoren originally wanted to dispel Li Fan's idea of taking him to the bottom of the Abyss with these words.
But he didn't expect that after hearing his explanation, the other party didn't show any surprise, as if he had known the truth about the Abyss.
He even smiled slightly and asked, "The demonic sound is a manifestation, and the wound..."
"Is also a manifestation."
"The cycle of life and death in the Xuanhuang Realm is endless. If it were an ordinary world's injury, it would heal in a few hundred years. However, the Abyss has been raging for more than a few hundred years and shows no sign of stopping, but rather intensifying. Doesn't it make you curious, Shaoren?"
Shang Shaoren was stunned by his words.
"You..."
Looking at Li Fan, his expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Originally, he thought that Li Fan was a powerful and passionate cultivator, but now...
"My identity doesn't matter, what matters is you, Shaoren."
"Are you really not curious about everything in the White Mist Domain, as well as the strange attitude of the Immortal Alliance in this matter?."
Shang Shaoren's expression changed: "Are you from the Five Elders' Association?"
Li Fan shook his head: "I'm just a sincere man who doesn't want to see the truth buried."
Then, Li Fan sat down with his sword, "I will wait here for three days."
"After three days, I will enter the Abyss with my sword."
"Whether or not you want to accompany me, I won't force you."
Shang Shaoren remained silent.
His figure waved like water, disappearing.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Li Fan always guarded the entrance of the Abyss.
But whenever the demonic sound reappeared, he easily extinguished it with his sword light.
The Qingxuan army in the Eternal Immortal Stronghold admired and watched Li Fan's back.
Many intelligent people even recorded the images of Li Fan extinguishing the demonic sound with his sword light.
They pondered over it repeatedly.
Some even had insights and advanced greatly in their skills.
The appointed time arrived, and Li Fan, the Sacred Fetus, didn't hesitate.
Amidst the gaze of the crowd, he rose and walked towards the depths of the Abyss.
He didn't wait for Shang Shaoren's decision.
As Li Fan was about to set off alone, there were inevitable whispers in the Eternal Immortal Stronghold.
After all, even if Shang Shaoren's prestige was high, if he didn't react in this matter, his image would be irreparably damaged.
These Qingxuan army members were his direct descendants cultivated for a hundred years. If he lost their genuine support, it would be a painful loss for Shang Shaoren.
With Shang Shaoren's strength, even if he failed to suppress the demonic sound and was slightly injured, he would still be able to survive.
So Li Fan was sure that Shang Shaoren would show up.
Even if it was just to pretend to follow him.
Sure enough, as Li Fan stepped into the Abyss without hesitation, Shang Shaoren's figure appeared.
"Escort the military leader!"
The Qingxuan army thunderously congratulated, and after Li Fan completely entered the Abyss, they disappeared suddenly.
"The last time I set foot here was nearly three hundred years ago," Shang Shaoren's voice sounded from behind.
Li Fan didn't respond, just observing his surroundings.
It was somewhat similar to the situation in the Netherworld.
Endless darkness is frightening. The difference is that there are continuous dark red light bands in the darkness, like the flowing blood of some ancient exotic beast.
From these blood-colored light bands, material resembling ashes occasionally floated out.
Li Fan reached out and grabbed a piece, and the rotten smell began to corrode his entire body where it made contact.
In just a few breaths, Li Fan's body turned into the same ashes-like material.
A sword light slashed through the darkness, and Li Fan was reborn from his inner world.
"These remnants are the result of the world's distortion and destruction. This is just the outermost part of the Abyss. The deeper you go, the more distorted it becomes. Even our foundational cultivation can be contaminated and destroyed," Shang Shaoren reminded through transmission.
By foundational cultivation, he referred to the foundation of new methods, infant sanctuaries, and so on.
As long as these foundations are not destroyed, cultivators can continue to be reborn. But if they are destroyed, the cultivator will naturally perish.
"In addition, we also need to worry about the sudden outbreak of the demonic sound tide. The demonic sound outside the Abyss and inside the Abyss are two completely different concepts. I once considered myself mentally strong, but I could barely hold on for a few breaths before I was almost driven insane by the terrifying whispers."
...
Shang Shaoren prattled on, but Li Fan ignored him, steadfastly flying towards the bottom of the Abyss.
Wherever he passed, sword light flickered, and the continuous and drifting dark red shadows were all extinguished.
After watching for a while, Shang Shaoren was surprised to find that these strange substances showed no signs of regenerating.
"This is the 'Annihilation Sword.' Where the sword light goes, all turns into nothingness," Li Fan's voice suddenly sounded in Shang Shaoren's ear.
"The festering wound only needs to be cleanly cut." He said indifferently.
"As for the demonic sounds..."
"I have an unparalleled secret technique that I will teach you to keep you safe."
