My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1223 - 1176: Encountering True Immortal Again

"Dead?" Li Fan, still unsettled, suddenly took a deep breath.

But the lingering sense of crisis around his heart told him that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, after the Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s multiple sword lights touched the corpse ahead, they vanished into the darkness like snuffed-out candles in an instant.

There was never any sound of collision.

The massive and desiccated corpse, like a primordial beast hidden in the void, devoured everything attempting to come near.

A spell once again illuminated the surrounding space.

This time, he could see much more clearly.

The appearance of the dried corpse was not much different from a normal human, only abnormally gigantic.

Over thirty meters tall, its hand alone was larger than Li Fan himself.

It seemed to have drifted in this void for a long time, its clothing all but decayed.

However, upon closer inspection, what shook Sacred Embryo Li Fan even more was that this dried corpse...

seemed to be just a newborn baby.

Its hair sparse, its teeth not yet grown out.

Around its neck hung an ornament like a longevity lock, and around its ankle was tied a rotten red string.

Its terrified, reaching posture looked as if it had been frightened and was desperately searching for its parents.

"In its infancy, it is already so huge. It’s hard to imagine how big it would be when fully grown."

Li Fan suddenly remembered the Eternal Immortal Fortress outside the Roaring Abyss.

The fortress in the White Mist, also known as Duan Zhang Immortal City.

It was built from the giant severed palm of Ancient Heavenly Lord that had drifted out of the White Mist.

"Perhaps there is some connection between the two," Li Fan thought to himself.

After all, he had yet to find any records in the Xuanhuang World about such gargantuan native creatures.

Though the giant was dead, it still exuded a sinister mysterious force that continued to drag everything around it down.

"This mysterious force must be the culprit behind its death and the source of my extreme unease," he thought.

After pondering for a moment, determination flashed in Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s eyes.

Even though he wanted to try no further, he still swung his sword at his own Divine Soul, slashing out a separated spirit.

"Ah..."

After his Divine Soul became extremely weak, even its ability to endure pain was greatly reduced. Li Fan could not bear it and let out a miserable scream.

His face turned pale, and he breathed heavily.

Without hesitation, he walked past the dried corpse giant and continued towards the depths of the Starry Sky.

After recovering for a moment, the separated spirit left behind voluntarily moved forward and made contact.

Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle. It was foreseeable that for a long time to come, the Abyss Star Ocean would be a place that Li Fan needed to venture into. Hence, rather than avoiding these dangers in the Abyss Star Ocean, it was better to take the initiative to attack and probe their reality.

Since his real body was far away in the Xuanhuang World, and with Hai Zhen backing him up, he wasn’t afraid of any unbearable consequences.

Having the spirit separated from him, there was still some distance from the dried corpse giant when everything before him turned dark.

He completely lost his perception of the outside world.

His consciousness was still present, but it was as if he had been locked in a cage. Around him was absolute, eternal darkness.

There was no sound, no light, and no passage of time.

It seemed as if he was the only person left in the world.

Even the sensation between the Sacred Embryo and his real self was becoming fainter and darker.

The feeling between the Sacred Embryo and his real self was also very peculiar.

That part of his divine soul, clearly a fragment of his self, felt increasingly alien.

Moreover, the endless solitude shrouding the fragment continued to erode their connection, gradually spreading.

Only then did Li Fan notice that once enclosed by darkness, the state of the divine soul fragment seemed permanently fixed.

It was as if frozen, unable to make any moves.

It couldn’t even achieve its own destruction.

With a slight shift in expression, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan released several Sword Lights toward the location of the divine soul fragment.

He intended to sever the connection with himself.

But it was to no avail.

Just like when the Sword Lights had touched the Dried Corpse Giant before, all attacks vanished without a trace.

After several attempts, he had to give up.

He furrowed his brows slightly, sensed the encroaching solitude, and felt somewhat relieved.

The distance through space and time had some restricting effect on this extremely mysterious being.

The rate of erosion on the original body was slow.

Based on the current situation, it wouldn’t threaten the safety of the divine soul for a hundred years.

However, the situation for the Sacred Embryo, being too close, was not optimistic.

He estimated he could only last about thirty-odd days before succumbing.

The time units here referred to the absolute time each experienced.

"However, as I continue to move away, the situation will also improve,"

"Although it’s unavoidable, I can still buy enough time. As long as I can see the true face of the mighty force causing this disturbance in the Xuan Huang, dying wouldn’t matter."

"Moreover, the main reason why my original self can sense the divine soul fragment is through me. If I disappear, the original will be safe too."

With that thought, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan no longer allowed distractions and, controlling the remaining Stone Puppets, sped towards the depths of the Star Sea at full force.

As he fled swiftly, he also pondered the mysterious force he had encountered, enveloping the Dried Corpse Giant.

The mysterious force was eroding Li Fan, and Li Fan was observing it as well.

"This feeling is not unfamiliar."

A spark of realization flashed through Sacred Embryo Li Fan, and he had a speculation in his mind.

"True Immortal Seal Characters! Another True Immortal Seal Character!"

According to what Daoist of the Hundred Blossoms had said, the tribulations faced in the Abyss Star Ocean varied from realm to realm.

Some faced [Hunger], some faced [Chaos], some faced [Hunger]...

And now, Sacred Embryo Li Fan, in the Void, evidently encountered another True Immortal Seal Character causing calamity.

"Is this [Lonely] or [Alone]?"

Without seeing the actual form of the True Immortal Seal Character, Li Fan could not ascertain the truth.

He could only speculate based on the external manifestation of the True Immortal Seal Character’s power.

"True Immortal Seal Characters, wreaking havoc across realms. Although it might not be the true entity, just a traced copy, it still causes countless realms in the Immortal Cultivation World to face extinction."

"Among these True Immortal Seal Characters, the [Hunger] character is even closely related to the Dao path of the Deserted Dao Immortal. He was inspired by it, sat and sought enlightenment in the Ruins of the Immortal Realm Passage, attempting to comprehend the true essence of [Hunger]."

"For him, it might have been just an instant of enlightenment. But it created the terrifying existence of the Immortal Ruins, making the entire Starry Sky sink..."

"This is the power of [Immortal], above the mundane."

Thoughts swirled in the Sacred Embryo.

"And now, not far ahead, there exists a power comparable to that of the Deserted Dao Immortal."

"What exactly is it?"
