Chapter 1266 Stealing the Power of Darkness
Li Fan had no choice but to temporarily stop driving the Infinite Mirror.
He continued to throw out a ball of source energy essence, saving the Infinite Mirror Spirit from the brink of death.
The essence of his willpower stored in his body was generated by the day and night prayers of the one hundred You people in the secret room of the Sun family's underground blood pool during this period.
A part of it was spent to lure out the annihilation wind disaster lurking in the infinite mirror.
Some of it was used before to repair the injuries on Wuliang Mirror and Li Fan's own split spirit.
There aren't many left.
Li Fan estimated the speed at which the essence of the Fanyuan Force was consumed: "Just enough. No need to go back again."
"that is……"
Li Fan inadvertently glanced towards the center of this small world full of death.
It seemed that the appearance of the source essence had attracted the attention of the golden head hidden there. A rather strange illusion came over me, as if I was being stared at by a monster.
"Hmph, even if you had some great origin in your life, all you have left now is a skull. And you still dare to act rashly in front of me..." Li Fan stood with his hands behind his back, and with a slight movement of his mind, a trap was instantly formed.
Lock the space where the golden head is and seal it.
"I'll trouble you in my next life."
This time, Li Fan had no intention of finding out what was inside the golden head.
The most urgent task is to find out the protective formation here, and then return to the Xuanhuang Realm and follow the cause and effect to find the hidden traces of the protective formation.
Under the influence of the essence of source power, Sun Luyao slowly woke up from his coma.
"Take a break and continue."
However, Li Fan's light words made him feel like he was struck by lightning.
But he didn't have the slightest thought of disobeying.
Because Sun Luyao knew that the survival of the Wuliang Mirror depended on Li Fan's thoughts.
It is even possible to directly erase his mirror spirit and then find another cultivator's consciousness to replace it.
"Although this is painful for you, it is more of a test. As the saying goes, iron is made by repeated tempering, and steel is made by repeated tempering. You are just an ordinary person, but by chance, you became the spirit of the Infinite Mirror. You have also seen the current performance of the Infinite Mirror. It will die immediately after analyzing something. How can it be called an immortal weapon?"
“Even though this is partly due to the fact that the Infinite Mirror is damaged and not in its complete form, it is more due to your weak mirror spirit.” Li Fan said in a deep voice.
These words made Sun Luyao feel extremely ashamed.
“This essence of source power is something that even immortal cultivators would love to have. Using it on you can be considered a complete waste of God’s gift. But I still did it…” Li Fan said in a gloomy voice.
"Between life and death there is great terror, and between life and death there is also great opportunity. You should understand it well!"
As he spoke, Li Fan manipulated the Infinite Mirror to analyze the remnants of the formation hidden under the ruins of the world.
Sun Luyao only felt himself rapidly weakening again, but with Li Fan's encouragement, he tried his best to cheer himself up and try his best to stay conscious.
"We must not let our seniors down!"
Scenes from the time he came into contact with Li Fan emerged in Sun Luyao's mind.
Li Fan's help along the way was unquestionable, but Sun Luyao himself had never made any contribution. Now that he finally had the opportunity to repay, Sun Luyao was determined not to let Li Fan down.
Besides, Sun Luyao also knew that what Li Fan said was indeed true.
In the trials of life and death, his original consciousness continued to grow stronger. The growth in the past few days was better than the decades of hiding in the secret room of the Sun family.
As Sun Luyao was excited, the dim light that had been somewhat shaken became stable again.
Li Fan looked at it and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
…
The holy dynasty begins.
Li Ping, sitting upright on the Holy Emperor's throne, has completed the replication and implantation of ten groups of Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao aura.
However, due to the long period of uninterrupted work, Maobao's mood broke down and he went on strike completely.
No matter how much source essence is tempting, the cat will just pretend not to see it and sleep soundly.
The Holy Emperor had no choice but to pause.
He looked in the direction of the four central states of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
"Is the Out-of-Boundary Rainbow Light of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance ready?"
Because of the previous harvest of the true meaning of the origin of the sea of stars, the Heavenly Dao Consciousness of the Xuanhuang Realm, which had tasted the sweetness of the marrow, became restless. Instinctively, it wanted to attach itself to it again and take a ride.
But he was dissuaded by Li Ping.
The Saint Emperor's premonition told him that this trip of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would never be as smooth as his previous ones.
In addition to the fact that the Saint Emperor had foresightedly predicted the dangers on the road, which the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance could not imitate, the more important reason was that the members of the Immortal Alliance who organized the exploration of the star sea were all composed of Hedao monks, but they did not have the strength to truly convince and suppress the crowd.
Although in Xuanhuang Realm and Wanxian League, people spoke according to their positions, but in the star sea, especially in desperate situations, it was hard to say who would listen to whom.
"Daoyuanzhou Lanyu."
"Golden Sun of Liuguangzhou."
…
The list of Hedao monks who are heading this way is not a secret.
The Holy Emperor looked at these names and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The death of dozens of Hedao masters is undoubtedly a good thing for Xuanhuang Tiandao and the Holy Dynasty."
"It's just a pity..."
Although it is regrettable, the Holy Emperor will never be soft-hearted and step forward to stop this.
Just wait for them to leave.
Besides, maybe there are some of them who are really lucky and can survive in the star sea full of dangers and finally succeed in enlightenment?
Even if the Holy Emperor tried to stop them, he would only be seen as an obstacle, and the situation would end in a fight to the death.
Five days later, a beam of seven-color rainbow light slowly flew out of the sky under the gaze of all the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Compared with the last time, this time seems to be much more familiar.
The different colors separated one by one, and finally disappeared into the dark sea of stars.
Li Ping watched them leave and mourned for them for a moment in his heart.
Another seven days later, the Holy Emperor's expression changed.
He flashed into the secret space where the You people lived.
Now under the rule of the Holy Dynasty, the You people can be roughly divided into three groups with different missions.
The largest number of them are those who, from birth to death, have the only thing they need every day, which is to praise the grace of the Holy Emperor. This group of people are cultivated by integrating with exotic beasts, and their lifespan and life cycle are extremely short. They are really like leeks, which can be cut one after another and never stop growing.
The second category, the medium-sized You people, were treated much better. They had plenty of rest time every day and could even read different books. As native You people, some of them would be selected to participate in the group optimization experiment.
As for the third category, they are the smallest and most special. They can be called the purest and most primitive You people, still believing in the great Dark Sea and maintaining their long-standing traditions. However, since they live under the rule of the Holy Dynasty, they naturally have to obey Li Fan's orders. Even within the tribe, a consensus has been reached on who is greater, the Holy Emperor or the Dark Sea.
The Holy Emperor is the incarnation of the will of the Dark Sea. The Holy Emperor, the Dark Sea, and the ancestors of the Dark Clan are a trinity that cannot be separated. Although the theory is a bit crude, it has indeed solved the possible conflicts caused by Li Ping's interference, and has completely stabilized the clan.
"Greetings to the Holy Emperor." When the You clan leader saw Li Ping, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Before this, because Li Ping did not force them to do so, the You people did not need to kneel down to worship him. However, since the birth of the new theory, various standard etiquettes have emerged within the You people, and even the clan leader must abide by them. Li Ping just let them do what they wanted.
"Open the passage to the Netherworld." Li Ping ordered in a cold voice as he looked at the Netherworld people kneeling on the ground below.
The You people stood up, and a door slowly opened amid the sound of a mysterious and ancient song.
Li Ping flew in first.
After entering, one is instantly engulfed by endless darkness.
But Li Ping did not hesitate at all and rushed towards the direction of the sensation.
Silently, getting closer and closer.
The object of the induction and locking was naturally the mysterious skill that could increase the output of cultivators' source power, which was previously revealed to the Wanxian League through the identity of the leader of the Lingyuan Sect.
When it comes to exploitation, the efficiency of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is unexpectedly high.
Li Ping could already sense that a large amount of marked source power, in a condensed and compressed state, was rushing into this dark sea.
However, what is counterintuitive is that such powerful and terrifying energy cannot even cause the slightest energy ripple here.
I don't know whether it is because the Dark Sea itself is too vast, or if there is something inside it that swallows up the ripples silently.
The distance was very close, and Li Ping couldn't help but slow down.
Even though you are absolutely confident in your own abilities, it is still better to be cautious.
Hide your body and sneak up.
Boom!
Boom!
In the dark sea, which should have been silent and where no sound could be transmitted, regular, intermittent muffled sounds were actually heard.
It was like the sound of a big drum being struck violently, and the Holy Emperor's heart couldn't help but vibrate.
Li Ping became serious.
His blood and energy were now as natural as the universe. Even the attack of the immortal realm might not be able to shake him. But now it was surging because of this simple muffled sound...
"It's not caused by external forces. It's the rhythm of this dark sea itself."
The Holy Emperor made his judgment quickly.
Without resisting the muffled sound, Li Ping stood still for a moment, achieving perfect harmony between the sound of his heartbeat and the rhythm of the dark sea.
It was as if I had completely merged into the darkness, and my own discomfort disappeared.
Li Ping then continued to move forward.
Soon, he "saw" the source of the muffled sound.
Or rather, perceive.
It was like a punctured balloon, and also like the huge whirlpool that broke the boundary of the Xuanhuang Realm.
A "small hole" appeared in the dark sea ahead.
The surging compressed source force poured in violently from the gap. Under the natural repulsion of the Dark Sea's own power, some of the dark power was absorbed along the channel formed by the confrontation between the two forces.
Li Ping stopped and watched from afar, feeling even more solemn.
"skillful."
After a while, he gave this comment.
The power of the Dark Sea and the compressed jet source force formed a perfect balance.
The source power was not able to truly invade the Dark Sea, and similarly, the Dark Sea's counterattack was not fully triggered.
In the strange balance, the call of source power and dark power was achieved.
You know, the Dark Sea is ever-changing.
This means that the output of the source power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance must also change and adjust accordingly. If the balance is broken, the Dark Sea will instantly usher in a counterattack of turbulent waves.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance must have maintained this device for quite some time, and it seems that their research on the Dark Sea has reached perfection.
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has capable people."
Li Ping couldn't help but sigh.
After all, having ruled half of the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years, it is not surprising that he has such a trump card.
"Compared to the dark power that normally overflows into various places in the Xuanhuang Realm, the dark power that is extracted is more peaceful."
“It’s also easier to exploit.”
After watching it again for a while, Li Ping also noticed something.
“I just don’t know why the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance went to so much trouble to extract this peaceful dark power.”
But the unknown did not hinder Li Ping's actions.
As the dark sea that maintains the stability of Xuanhuang, it is definitely an act against heaven for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to extract its power.
Li Ping is the "incarnation of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao", so it is impossible for him to stand idly by.
But he didn't act rashly.
One reason is that because of this perfect balance, if it is broken rashly, the turmoil in the Dark Sea may be even greater.
Secondly, simply stopping the extraction behavior is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.
What Li Ping wanted was a way to put an end to the thieving behavior of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance once and for all.
The Holy Emperor has plenty of patience.
After observing here for more than a month, he first returned to the Holy Dynasty.
Nearly a hundred people from the original You tribe were brought here.
"Asshole! That's such blasphemy!"
The Holy Emperor could see the anger in the You Clan leader's heart from his dancing and gesticulating.
The other orcs were filled with hatred when they saw the great Dark Sea that they believed in being stolen by thieves.
If Li Ping hadn't covered up for them, they would have probably gone crazy with such violent emotional fluctuations.
"I came here to solve this matter."
"The blasphemer shall be executed."
Li Ping's thoughts were transmitted to the minds of the You people.
This group of You people knelt on the ground again in an instant, their faces full of determination to sacrifice their lives.
In a corner that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was unaware of, this group of You people began an ancient ritual.
That is a method passed down from ancient times to communicate with the Dark Sea.
What Li Ping wanted them to do was to arouse the attention of the origin of this dark sea.
Even though there is a lot of noise here, compared to the vast Dark Sea, it is just a small hole.
If the balance is not disturbed, no attention will be paid to it.
This is why the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance can continuously steal the power of darkness.
But if we have the rituals of the You people as a guide, everything will be hard to say.
Even if the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is not expelled immediately, the repulsive force of the sudden change is enough to disrupt the balance.
And because it is the Dark Sea itself that is changing, with this giant object as the base, even if there is some turbulence, it is insignificant.
As the ceremony progressed, Li Ping felt ripples appearing in the dark sea.
He instinctively concealed his breath as much as possible and hid himself.
