Chapter 1732: Return the favor
In fact, with Suo's true strength, if he really fought to the death, he would definitely not collapse so quickly.
Firstly, Li Fan’s performance when attacking with the Great Way of Truth and Falsehood was indeed somewhat terrifying.
Suo's elaborate devouring net collapsed in front of Li Fan, without even the slightest resistance. The gap between the two sides seemed like a world of difference. Suo was entangled in the unknown and filled with fear. Suo had no desire to fight at all.
Secondly, Suo was not a current mountain and sea creature. He just came here for the purpose of hunting for the Mountain and Sea Creatures Avenue. Even if the hunting was frustrated, it would not be a substantial loss for him. And if he really got into a fight with Li Fan, this unpredictable murderer...
Stealing Machine, Bai Xiao, Fang Cun, Tai Wei, Li Fan...
Those who entered the network this time all came prepared. Even if he defeated Li Fan, there might be stronger ones coming.
In addition, His existence has been exposed, and this place is no longer a place to stay for long.
Due to various reasons, [Suo] was only concerned with escaping and had no intention of fighting.
They actually allowed Li Fan to wreak havoc in the net as if he was in an empty space.
Most of the Taichu Immortal Realm that Suo painstakingly wove became nourishment for Li Fan and his enlightened creations.
The process of searching for traces of truth and falsehood is also the process of Li Fan comprehending its essence.
In normal times, there are many saints guarding the mountains and seas. Even if Li Fan wanted to use his true and false magical powers at will to prove his enlightenment, there is no suitable opportunity. But at this moment, Li Fan can do it without restraint.
The Taichu Immortal Realm, although just an appearance evolved after [Suo] devoured the mountains and seas at the beginning, its authenticity is still not inferior to the current mountains and seas.
Truth and falsehood constantly erased the surrounding scenes, and all kinds of mysterious insights kept surging into Li Fan's mind at the same time.
It was like a hearty meal after being hungry for a long time, and Li Fan was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
"As the saying goes, what you learn from books is always shallow, and you must practice it to truly understand it."
"There is indeed a big gap between just knowing and actually doing it."
"Even the memory sharing of the same mind and heart cannot completely replace my personal efforts. From Shouqiu's perspective, I once experienced wiping out the shadows of thousands of saints with a wave of my hand. But the feeling was far less satisfying than what I am experiencing now..."
For the first time since reincarnation, Li Fan used his true and false power to the fullest. While displaying his unique skills, he did not forget his goal.
The hiding net has gradually fallen apart, and the [Suo] hidden behind it, the first saint of mountains and seas, has finally revealed his true appearance.
In reality, it does not look like a "human", but a huge pool of twisting circular shadows.
Countless tiny black tentacles surrounded its body, and from time to time, scenes of mountains and seas being swallowed by it flashed by.
Looking at its appearance, it looks like a huge spider made purely of black shadows, entwined above the mountains and seas!
The moment he saw him, Li Fan instinctively felt uncomfortable.
It was as if the black shadow had also penetrated into his body through his sight and began to try to erode it.
Li Fan snorted coldly, and with the change of true and false, he instantly eliminated the influence brought by the rope.
[Change from the heart], also start suddenly.
On the Daoguizhen panel, the colorful [Stealing Machine] instantly lost its color. It became plain black and white, and the mysterious charm was gone.
In the real world, Li Fan was transformed from a [Zero Return] Saint into a [Opportunity Stealer] Saint at this moment!
He looked at Suo, whose figure gradually faded away, and said coldly, "You stole my great way and wanted to walk away?"
"Take what's mine... and give it back to me!"
Around Suo's body, one of the billions of swaying shadow tentacles suddenly exploded without any warning.
Transformed from inky black to an equally cold grey.
Then, as if losing control, it rushed into the remaining tentacles, devouring them wantonly like a wolf or a tiger!
It has the ability to swallow mountains and seas, but it is difficult to resist the sudden plunder of this gray alien creature!
He could only watch helplessly as the other party took away part of his accumulated essence.
Although on the surface both involve devouring, their underlying principles are fundamentally different.
The pursuit of it is like swallowing up mountains and seas, just like hunting prey, it is robbery.
And this gray, strange, cold aura...
Taking something without permission is called stealing!
The gray aura that suddenly went out of control in Suo's body was exactly the part of the origin of the Great Dao that he had snatched from the Saint of Stealing Opportunities before.
Ben had already been swallowed alive by it and turned into part of its own power.
However, with the threat of the Avenue of True and False, Suo tried to escape.
Under the manipulation of Li Fan, who had transformed into the Saint of [Opportunity Stealer], this strand of origin instantly went out of control.
Return to Li Fan's arms, and then frantically steal the essence of [Search].
Inside his body is the accumulation of his hard work of swallowing mountains and seas over countless years.
It is absolutely a treasure trove.
Under normal circumstances, even if one really wants to steal an opportunity, it is not that easy to steal the main idea.
But now, the thief has entered the treasure house! The most stringent defense measures outside are no longer necessary. What remains is to plunder as much as possible before the treasure house is moved!
Although there are all kinds of treasures in the treasury, Li Fan knows deeply that the most valuable one is not the Devouring Avenue he has devoured over the years.
But the treasure house itself!
It contains the most fundamental structure that constitutes the ability of [Suo] to swallow mountains and seas, and is the reason for Suo's enlightenment!
"Such a good opportunity doesn't come often!"
Li Fan squinted his eyes, feeling a torrent slowly transferring from the rope to himself.
In addition to his accumulation, practice, and aptitude, there is also his luck and destiny...
The entire sum of the essence of existence was cut off inch by inch by Li Fan, and then taken away with nothing in his hands.
"Asshole!"
This first living creature in the mountains and seas finally let out an extremely furious roar.
The sound was extremely sharp, not like a human voice, but rather like the screams of thousands of insects.
The black shadow shook violently, as if it had fallen into madness because of the theft of its own treasure.
"Why? If you can steal it, others can't?"
Li Fan turned a blind eye and continued to work with his skillful hands.
He also made sarcastic remarks from time to time.
"You..." Suo's dim figure seemed to be showing signs of returning to its dark color.
But for some reason, he did not choose to continue fighting with Li Fan.
Choose to escape as quickly as possible to minimize losses.
Before leaving, he did not forget to make some harsh remarks.
The resentful voice resounded throughout the world that was about to be shattered.
"Stealing an opportunity... Very good! I'll make a note of it!"
The ink faded completely.
The treasure house gradually became empty, as if it had disappeared out of thin air between the mountains and the sea. The things that Li Fan could steal became less and less.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as [Suo] disappeared.
Li Fan sighed with some regret, "The Great Way of Stealing Opportunities is indeed extraordinary. At that time, I was even able to touch and sense the existence of [True] in my True Spirit."
"After trying it out for a while, I finally understood its magical power. No wonder the man who stole the machine so carefully at that time was willing to give up everything and fight to the death. In addition to his true nature, he also had absolute confidence in the path he controlled."
"What a pity. If he hadn't really been unwilling, he might have succeeded."
Li Fan, in his capacity as a Saint Thief of Opportunities, peeled off a layer of flesh from [Suo]'s body.
Therefore, a new line of characters was added to the Hall of Dao Guizhen.
Although they are just shadows at present, their differences have already been revealed.
It is not covered in colorful colors, but in an ancient gray atmosphere.
It reveals an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.
In addition to the word "ancient", there is also a peculiar charm entwined around it.
Li Fan observed it carefully and could taste some flavor.
It’s the word taboo!
It seems as if it cannot be accommodated in the mountains and seas, nor in this palace of the great road.
Unlike the other mountains and seas that Li Fan had come into contact with and absorbed before, once he entered one, he had to stay there honestly.
Instead, they are always ready to break free and escape.
Although it is suppressed by [The Great Way Returns to Truth], its struggle is destined to be in vain.
But this "rebellion" has already demonstrated the uniqueness of the way of "seeking".
Li Fan was thoughtful: "The Three Saints once said that once Suo, who has always been hidden in the shadows, is exposed, even the path he controls will be affected accordingly. This is the backlash brought about by wanting to evolve his own path to the extreme and surpass the mountains and seas."
"From the breath of energy I stole from the Great Dao Returning to the Truth, it seems that Suo Zhi's path indeed has the potential to break through the limits of mountains and seas."
There was no time to savor this harvest. Without the support of the rope, the Evolution Primordial Immortal Realm in front of him was about to break apart layer by layer. Li Fan suddenly took off his [Stealing Machine] outer garment and turned back into his original [Zhou Hui] appearance.
"Master, please save us!"
Suddenly, cries for help came to Li Fan's ears one after another.
It comes from the living beings enlightened by Li Fan.
After the world was destroyed, only one of them remained.
However, those who survived all gained a lot.
Li Fan thought about it and put them away.
Nor are they afraid of them leaking secrets.
How could ordinary creatures understand the change between truth and falsehood?
Let alone them. In this battle between Li Fan and Suo, even if the saints from the other side were present, they would only be confused and not understand what was going on.
The rope net was broken, and Li Fan appeared in the real mountains and sea.
In just a moment, it fell into the eyes of the saints in the mountains and seas in front.
Li Fan's expression remained unchanged, allowing the power around him to wrap around him and lead him into the Xuan Ji Ring.
Looking around, this mountain and sea is far less lively than where Li Fan is.
It even seems a bit deserted.
Not to mention those who later attained enlightenment and became saints, there were only six left of the original nine saints on the other shore.
It seems that the virtual world and So have indeed brought them great survival pressure.
"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, where are you from?" Saint Guihai asked with a solemn expression.
Li Fan simply told the whole story one by one.
He only concealed the fact that he had transformed into a [Stealing Opportunity] Saint and feasted on the food.
"Is that so?"
Knowing that reinforcements from the mountains and seas in the future were about to arrive, and that their strength was so strong, even the Three Saints couldn't help but lose their composure and showed joy on their faces.
"The ability of Daoist friend's true spirit infusion is truly a great blessing for Shanhai!"
Li Fan said: "The current plan is to quickly reunite the divided mountains and seas and build a defense line together."
"Although the siege by the Void Realm is massive, it is definitely not able to stop us from joining forces!"
After saying that, Li Fan looked towards where his original body was.
…
In fact, when the cable net collapsed, Li Fan's incarnation officially entered the mountains and sea ahead.
A vague scene was already visible in the Xuanji Ring.
It was just because the image transmitted by Li Fan suddenly disappeared a moment ago, and the saints were still in shock and doubt.
"I see that everything is going well for you, and you are about to break through. What happened?"
Li Fan frowned, and after sensing for a while, he slowly said: "The veins of the mountain and sea creatures have been affected, and I can't sense what is happening in the rope net."
"However, at the last moment, I sensed signs that the world was about to collapse. This should be a good thing for us."
The saints remained silent.
Originally it was said that Li Fan's going there was just to delay the situation, but unexpectedly he actually broke the rope net.
In fact, eight out of ten credits went to the Holy Emperor Taiwei for revealing the secret behind the scenes.
However, this move was beyond the expectations of the saints.
The Three Saints looked at the mountains and seas ahead, and after a moment, they nodded slightly: "The power covering the mountains and seas is indeed disappearing. He is leaving."
After receiving the certification from the Three Saints, the other saints in the Xuanji Ring couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Without the covetousness of [Suo], we only need to face the threat from the virtual world."
"Although the situation is fierce, we have gradually gotten used to it."
Compared to Dao Yan of the Void Realm, the saints still felt that the existence of Shanhaichu was a little more difficult to deal with.
It doesn't mean that the creatures in the mountains and seas are even stronger than those in the virtual world.
But although the calamity in the virtual world is terrifying, it does not have many variables.
Everything is laid out on the table.
On the other hand, Suo, the First Saint of the Mountains and Seas, has unpredictable strength, and his thoughts and actions are also full of unknowns.
For example, His adventure to the end of the mountain and sea period was completely beyond the expectations of the saints.
No matter what the outcome is, there will always be many variables.
If it was just a game between the two sides, then it would be fine. But it was just a matter of countering each other's moves.
But we have to face the biggest threat, the virtual world, at the same time.
The two problems coexist, and even the Three Saints feel a little embarrassed.
However, this time, after Suo escaped, the clouds finally cleared and the sun came out.
With Li Fan's incarnation as the link, the two sections of mountains and seas quickly reached a consensus.
On the surface, both sides kept their troops on hold to avoid provoking a violent reaction from the virtual world.
Secretly, Li Fan's incarnation used his true spirit to infuse the method and create as many new saints as possible.
Then, the saints of the mountains and seas slowly smuggled their incarnations to the front through the veins of creatures in the mountains and seas.
When everything was ready, both sides attacked at the same time.
The mountains and seas in the front section attracted the attention of the forces in the virtual world, while the saints in the back section of the mountains and seas came out together to reconnect the mountains and seas as quickly as possible.
Once the Avengers succeed, the siege of the virtual world will collapse on its own!
"It was almost a dead end. But now it's a great situation!"
"Fellow Daoist Fan's true spirit infused his magical powers, and his contribution is invaluable!"
"Alas, without the Holy Emperor Taiwei, we are still worried about how to break the net."
…
As the saints chatted and laughed, the atmosphere in the other side gradually became relaxed.
The only way was to steal the opportunity and send a message to Li Fan in private.
"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Fan, did you encounter anything unusual when you were escaping?"
Li Fan asked in confusion: "Why do you say that, fellow Daoist?"
"The Taichu Immortal Realm was shattered and in chaos. I could only protect myself, but I didn't notice anything unusual."
"Or rather..."
Li Fan paused for a moment. "When Suo left, he seemed extremely angry. And it wasn't just because of the escape."
After hearing this, Taoji seemed to be thinking about something.
