Chapter 882 |
"Boom!"
Li Fan felt as if his soul was suddenly plunged into molten lava.
The extreme heat threatened to completely incinerate his very essence.
Wrapped in endless radiance, he sensed his soul dissolving and vanishing at a terrifying speed.
However, in contrast, the remnants of his burned soul transformed into a mysterious form of nourishment.
The Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven trembled slightly, and then a layer of blood-colored radiance appeared across the various Cave Heaven worlds, casting a strange yet mesmerizing glow over the Five Elements scenery.
Under the shroud of this crimson light, numerous anomalies emerged in the sky of the Cave-Heaven.
Even more terrifying, within the Cave-Heaven, the circulation of Five Elements power nearly doubled in speed in an instant. This wild catalytic effect seemed to have no limit, further accelerating the burning of Li Fan’s soul!
A surge of deadly crisis flooded his heart.
Suppressing the impulse to return to [Truth] himself, Li Fan silently activated the [Limitless Fullness and Emptiness Technique].
An invisible vortex appeared at the convergence point of the Five Elements Cave-Heaven, siphoning the wildly surging Five Elements power and redistributing it evenly.
The Five Elements unite as one, through limitless ebbs and flow; its power endures unending.
It was like an exposed seabed after the tide had receded—only for a mighty tidal wave to crash back in the next moment.
The portion of Li Fan’s soul that had already vanished suddenly reappeared under the nourishment of the Limitless Fullness and Emptiness Power!
Though it was quickly burned away again by the Soul-Ignition Secret Art, the continuous flow of Limitless Fullness and Emptiness Power made his soul resilient, like wild grass that could not be completely eradicated by flames.
Due to the effects of the Soul-Ignition Secret Art, Li Fan’s entire body was now shrouded in a faint layer of blood-colored light, exuding a terrifying aura that could make anyone tremble in fear.
After a long while, Li Fan gradually adapted to the constant transformation of his soul between burning and regeneration.
Upon inspecting himself, he found that not only had his usable strength nearly doubled, but even his thought process had become significantly sharper.
The power boost from burning his soul was an all-encompassing enhancement!
"And this is just from burning the outermost layer of my soul. If I use the denser, purer core of my soul as fuel instead…"
"The amplification effect will double once again!"
Li Fan closed his eyes and briefly sensed his condition.
"With my current recovery speed using the Limitless Fullness and Emptiness Technique, I can maintain the initial stage of Soul Ignition indefinitely."
"Maintaining the mid-stage of Soul Ignition for an extended period might cause some damage to my soul, requiring time to recover afterward."
"As for extreme Soul Ignition…"
"There’s no need for that."
With his newfound surge in power, Li Fan’s battle instinct flared up.
With a mere thought, Tianyang appeared before him, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Through the newly established Soul Shade Realm Passage, Li Fan and Tianyang once again found themselves in the vast, empty Void Corridor.
With no more reservations, Tianyang struck first.
Ever since his defeat at the hands of his senior brother, he had been obsessed with turning the tables.
Unfortunately, Li Fan had always avoided combat.
Now that the long-awaited rematch had arrived, Tianyang immediately noticed that his senior brother’s strength had once again advanced by leaps and bounds.
Thus, he attacked with full force from the very start.
Manipulating the space around Li Fan, he attempted to use the power of spatial fragmentation to cut apart his body.
However, to his shock, this previously effective technique had completely lost its power!
A bizarre blood-colored aura enveloped Li Fan’s body.
Even though the surrounding space shattered, he remained unaffected, standing firmly within the broken void.
"Body and soul, perfectly fused."
"Immune to all techniques…"
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, feeling the limitless power coursing through him.
With a flicker of his figure, he appeared instantly beside Tianyang.
Countless blood-red tendrils erupted from his body, like tens of thousands of crimson dragons, roaring as they lashed toward Tianyang!
At the same time, a silver light flashed in his eyes, and in an instant, he set up a formation around him, sealing off any possibility of Tianyang escaping.
Facing Li Fan’s overwhelming and ferocious assault, Tianyang’s expression changed slightly.
Realizing that he had no way to dodge, his entire body transformed into a mass of darkness, colliding with countless strands of blood-colored energy.
"Boom!"
Loud explosions echoed continuously. With every clash, Tianyang’s dark form trembled violently, gradually dimming with each impact.
On the other hand, Li Fan’s crimson energy was nearly endless, showing no signs of weakening.
He even had enough energy to reveal his figure, watching Tianyang’s desperate struggle with interest.
The countless blood threads completely enveloped Tianyang, forming a spherical blood cocoon around him. With no way to escape, he could only resist in a pathetic state.
With the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven providing him with an endless supply of spiritual energy, Li Fan could maintain his peak combat state indefinitely.
Meanwhile, the sealed Tianyang’s aura was growing weaker and weaker.
It wouldn’t take long before he would be beaten to death by Li Fan.
Finally, Tianyang sent out a plea for mercy.
After launching a few more attacks, Li Fan finally withdrew his hand, though somewhat reluctantly.
"Junior Brother, how about now? Still unwilling to submit?" Li Fan asked with a light chuckle.
Tianyang gritted his teeth and muttered, "I yield. Senior Brother, you are indeed stronger."
Li Fan burst into hearty laughter.
Overpowering someone with sheer force was far more satisfying than winning through trickery.
The thousands of blood threads retracted into his body, but the Soul Ignition state was not lifted.
He only slightly restrained the eerie phenomena surrounding him.
Though the blood-colored glow had faded somewhat, Li Fan still exuded a faintly sinister aura.
"Unless it’s someone at the level of Mr. Bai, even a group of Dao Integration cultivators, whether they attack together or take turns, may not be able to outlast me."
"And this is without me using my divine abilities."
Through his battle with Tianyang, Li Fan had roughly gauged his upper limits of strength and nodded slightly.
"It's time to visit the Empire."
A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
Bringing Tianyang along, he effortlessly found the entrance to the Empire’s small world.
Then, moving at full speed, he soon arrived outside the Empire.
Without concealing his immense aura, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong had already sensed his presence. Now, they stood waiting with grave expressions.
"Senior…" Xiao Qing looked at Li Fan, who was exuding an ominous aura, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes as she tentatively spoke.
"I am an envoy of the Federation of All Worlds. Your small world has been requisitioned!" Li Fan coldly announced.
Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong's expressions drastically changed.
Even if the aura radiating from him hinted at Dao Integration-level power, he was far too arrogant to think that he could take over the Empire with just a few words!
"Empire Guards!"
Xiao Qing transmitted a message in secret while suppressing her anger and asked again, "What Federation of All Worlds? We've never even heard of it. Senior, your actions…"
Li Fan let out a sinister chuckle. "It seems you still harbor delusions."
"Very well, then. Let me show you… true power!"
Before his words even finished, the illusory form of the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven spread across the sky above the Empire.
Under the effect of Soul Ignition, it resembled five intertwined blood-red moons, radiating an eerie and demonic glow!
