Feather Transformation Immortal
Seeing the world through the eyes of a moth, it's as if a green curtain is shrouded around you, or as if a piece of jade is blocking your view. You don't even need to breathe; a continuous stream of spiritual energy seeps into your body through your pores, like being in an ocean of highly pure elixir. There's also a strange sense of suffocation and an indescribable pressure, truly like being a worm sealed in green amber.
Of course, this feeling is not real, or at least incomplete, because in addition to the five senses, the system clearly received a large amount of information that it could not process. Ultimately, Li Fan has not yet reached that level and does not have that kind of organ. Yes, his Dao body has been upgraded, but his primordial spirit consciousness is still a 'low-dimensional being at the Divine Transformation level', and his senses cannot comprehend more information.
However, Li Fan now has reason to suspect that this dimension may very well be the legendary place of ascension.
Of course not. The place where the Immortal Venerable, the Profound Maiden, and the God Lord went after breaking through the void was not on the other side of the 'door' either.
Specifically, it is the place where immortals of the Xuanmen sect who have achieved immortality through corpse liberation and ascension have ascended to heaven since ancient times.
The concept of ascension is actually quite mysterious, and it's not a normal death. But if you were to say it's about traveling to another world, it doesn't quite fit. After all, if that were the case, Li Fan wouldn't be constantly going from one door to another, ascending back and forth like that; he'd be numb from all the ascensions.
Moreover, one of the most basic rules of ascension is that immortals who ascend to heaven do not return to the mortal realm.
Therefore, regarding the Immortal Realm after ascension, based on legends of the Wanyu Insect, ancient civilizations, extraterrestrial technology, and higher-dimensional life, combined with the accounts of Xuan Tian, the Abbot, and Qin Nanxin, as well as the system's popular science research, Li Fan's current speculation is as follows:
This Wanyu Immortal Realm, or Wanyu Heaven, should be the original plane from which the Wanyu civilization was born.
In nature, it is similar to the Earth of Zhuānxū on the other side of the 'gate', except that it is not separated by a 'membrane', but by the gap between higher and lower dimensions.
Moreover, in many ways, this Wanyu civilization is probably one of the few systems in the multiverse that can be compared to human civilization in the history of human civilization. In some aspects, it even has an advantage in certain branches of the technological tree.
As the system said, the humans on the other side of the door are a high-dimensional civilization, but not high-dimensional beings. So far, they are severely unbalanced, with extremely fragile physical and mental bodies. Even with the company's Bio-Human technology, they can only produce superhumans with the physical bodies of a regional manager at the level of an Immortal Emperor, but with the primordial spirit of an infant.
However, these immortal insects of Wanyu are undoubtedly high-dimensional life forms, belonging to the level of Feather Transformation Immortal according to the definition of the Taiji Realm. Moreover, their technological level is clearly not weak, and the immortal techniques of the Xuanmen may even be a kind of lost 'insect technology'.
But then again...
The company uses beings from other worlds as organic vehicles, so aren't cultivators similar? Once they cultivate to the Feather Transformation Immortal, they transform into insects and fly back to their original world's nest. Doesn't this Taiji Realm resemble a larval cocoon?
Could it be that the humans, or other plants and animals, of this world were originally no different from those on the other side of the 'door,' but their ability to cultivate immortality is due to being influenced, or even parasitized, by these higher-dimensional insectoids? Damn, with his exceptional talent for cultivation, could it be...?
Li Fan's mood dropped significantly.
'Don't worry, don't worry. Even if you had parasitic eggs in you before, they were probably killed by the Thousand-Faced Immortal long ago.'
'Yes, and the malevolent energy is most corrosive to Dao Breath. These insects probably can't withstand the radiation from the False Moon, otherwise Emei and the others wouldn't have abandoned their insect nest in this plane.'
No! This is just speculation! Has it already been decided?! Why don't you guys say something to refute it?! It's giving him goosebumps!
However, Li Fan didn't have time to dwell on these terrifying thoughts now.
Because on the Taiji Realm side, dense Dao Breath was overflowing—no, spraying out—from the dimensional gap, and a thick layer of frost had accumulated in the room, condensing into crystals of high-purity, jade-like celestial dew. But on the Moth's side, they couldn't even find where the dimensional gap from before had been.
Li Fan was also sweating bullets. Fortunately, he didn't take any risks this time. He had specially sent a moth to scout ahead. Moreover, his system had been upgraded, allowing him to maintain smooth communication between his main body and his clone while the higher-dimensional gap was opening. However, it was obvious that the other side was a higher-dimensional space, which couldn't even be located geographically. So, once the South Bright Li Fire, or the bandits outside noticed the extremely high concentration of Dao Breath energy here and came to close the passage, Li Fan could very well lose contact with this Wanyu clone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Fan seized the time to observe the situation in the higher-dimensional plane and collect data with all his might.
However, in the Wanyu Immortal Realm, as Li Fan gradually adapted to the Wanyu Dao Body and attempted to use his Divine Sense to search the surrounding environment and locate the life forms around him, to his surprise, the moment his divine sense was activated, it was as if a stone had been thrown into a pond, creating a huge commotion. With a clang, ripples spread outwards, stirring up the dense immortal energy and spiritual aura around him like waves on a watery curtain!
Startled by his divine thought, a series of sharp chirping sounds rang out all around, clearly indicating that the surrounding insects had been disturbed!
Li Fan fled hastily, bumping around like a headless moth. Judging from the noise and scale of the insect chirping, the creatures around him were all adult insects at the level of 'Feather Transformation Immortal', far beyond what a small moth like him could contend with. However, those immortal insects didn't pay attention to the ant, but instead instantly gathered in front of the crack, as if trying to squeeze into the crack and into the Taiji Realm.
The clone was hiding far away, so Li Fan, standing at the door, could see quite clearly.
The light grating cast by the South Bright Li Fire flickered, intertwined, and leaped, as if something enormous was rushing out from within the light and shadow, crashing into the dense net of Dao Breath woven within the room. Light and energy intertwined and condensed into ice-crystal-like threads, like 3D printing. These threads coalesced into a fibrous neural network, and in the rapidly freezing air, something enormous was slowly taking shape in the void, sublimating into something taller than a person...
Cockroach?
"Help me!"
The cockroach spoke in human language—or rather, used its Divine Sense to send a distress signal to Li Fan, along with a cockroach divine thought. Upon contact, it flapped its wings and swiftly flew into the Divine Court, attempting to seize Li Fan's primordial spirit and possess his Dao body!
Unfortunately, this ultimate attack from the Emerging Cockroach only caused minor emotional damage... it didn't even trigger the system's firewall...
"Damn it! This pest is asking for it!"
However, physical damage is one thing, psychological damage is another. Suddenly being pounced on in the face by a giant cockroach, Li Fan almost broke his defenses. He was furious and instantly used his primordial spirit technique, summoning a raging sea of blood in his divine court and setting up the Blood Talisman Sword Formation. The sword Sword Light of all demons beat the divine thought of the immortal cockroach mercilessly, grinding it to dust and scattering it hundreds of times before finally extinguishing the divine thought and venting his anger.
However, this battle of Divine Sense caused Li Fan to miss the initiative, allowing the cockroach to seize the opportunity and rush over, swallowing the lampstand and the South Bright Li Fire in one gulp! Whoosh—! In an instant, it absorbed the surrounding condensed Dao Breath essence onto its shell! Visibly, it turned emerald green! It began to condense its Dao body!!
Li Fan immediately lost contact with the moth's Dao body, and in the blink of an eye of this battle of Divine Sense, the cockroach was able to rush into the Taiji Realm. This speed is definitely that of a cockroach at the level of Feather Transformation Immortal! An Immortal Cockroach!
Li Fan acted decisively, taking advantage of the cockroach's momentary transformation, he transformed into the Blood God Child and escaped from the Weaving Bureau with a Blood Shadow Godly Movement Speed! Ignoring the risk of being exposed, he swept his Divine Sense across the area and roared...
There are cockroaches!
The assembled Divine Transformation speechless.
However, this is where the Xuanmen's level of expertise comes into play. An ordinary person would probably yell "Meow? Meow? What cockroach?" for a long time, but the Xuanmen's first reaction is to calculate with their fingers. Of course, they are not calculating other people or other cockroaches, but calculating themselves.
In the blink of an eye, everyone present, realizing they were facing their own demise, roared in unison without the slightest hesitation.
"The Immortals have descended!!!"
"Charge!!!"
"Transcending Tribulation!!!"
Without a word, this "demonic bandit gang" immediately transformed into a "Zhu Xian dungeon raid group," raising the blood-soaked leather banners around the Marquis's mansion and shouting loudly, their voices a mix of celestial and ghostly wails!
"Three measures of red sand and three measures of qi! Covering the sky and annihilating the earth, obliterating all mortal dust! Immortals and Buddhas fall to the ground and are killed to ashes! Blood swirls, wind and thunder bury gods!"
In an instant, demonic sounds filled the air, and blood-red light soared into the sky! Crimson clouds obscured the moon, rolling winds and thunder roared, and gusts of sand flew everywhere! The entire Yangxiang Marquis's mansion was instantly enveloped by a storm of blood-red sand, transforming into a battlefield of immortals and demons!
"Damn it! Blood Codex Ten Deadly Techniques! Crimson Sand Formation!"
Li Fan had only acted cautiously for the time being, not escaping too far, intending to stay and assess the situation. However, he never expected these old Xuanmen to be so efficient and cooperative. As soon as they foresaw the arrival of the Feather Transformation Immortal, they immediately set up an array! Caught off guard, he was even drawn into the Red Sand Array!
Now Li Fan was in a real bind. The Ten Ultimate Formation of the Divine Sect were extremely famous, especially for the disciples of the Three Great Sects. They were practically a required course in the art of formations. He had done so many practice exams and simulations, how could he not know them?
This Red Sand Formation is based on the secret alchemy of the Divine Sect and the Three-Fight Bloodbreak Sand. Each speck of divine sand is like a shard of a divine weapon. Even a true lord or god can be shredded into pieces as if cut by a steel knife. Once unleashed, it is like a sandstorm of the apocalypse, mixed with fierce winds and dark thunder. Even Real Immortal above the Enlightenment Stage who falls into the formation will not be able to avoid the danger of death or tribulation!
What's even more formidable is that this Bloodbreak Sand is so fine that it can penetrate deep into the flesh and bones of those within the formation. Even if they manage to escape, it's difficult to completely remove it, rendering their entire Cultivation Method useless!
As more people set up the array, their Dao power grows stronger, and the divine sand can be endlessly enhanced and transformed! At its highest level, it can catalyze countless transformations! As long as flesh and blood are inexhaustible, the sand will never run out! As long as the array master does not sever the spiritual breath, this red sand array can continue to surge indefinitely! It is not impossible for three bushels of divine sand to annihilate three thousand worlds!
It has to be said that these old Xuanmen sects were truly well-prepared. At least compared to Li Fan, they clearly had a better idea of what they were going to snatch this time. They even prepared something of this caliber right from the start!
So, while that cockroach immortal who had sneaked in from the Immortal Realm was fully absorbing the world to form his Dao body, the Xuanmen directly set up the Red Sand Array. In the blink of an eye, the entire Houfu Flying Island Immortal Palace was completely destroyed by the red sandstorm. The red sand storm grew stronger and stronger, directly tearing apart and destroying several surrounding immortal Immortal Palace as well!
The Wang Jing Northern Camp fleet, originally responsible for guarding the Tianshi Yuan Immortal Clan, was caught off guard after receiving news of the Demonic Sect's rebellion. Dozens of warships and thousands of immortal soldiers quickly mobilized and left the camp. As the red sand formation swept in like a storm, only a few divine generals managed to escape, while the rest were all smashed into pieces by the red sand!
The ruins, the bones and pieces of flesh, were thrown into the air like hailstones, scattered and strewn all over the Wang Jing!
Meanwhile, in the eye of the storm, the cockroach immortal was attacked by more than forty Divine Transformation, all going all out! They activated the Red Sand Array to launch a joint attack! The cockroach was also tough. The Taiji Realm itself lacked spiritual energy, and now the Red Sand Array had sealed off the spiritual veins of heaven and earth. It directly unleashed all its Dao Breath and immortal energy, gathering it into a snowball-like mass, like a cocoon, condensing its Daoist aura to directly confront the Dao Breath - Bloodbreak Sand!
But even though he was in the realm of immortals, he had only just escaped and hadn't had time to recover his abilities when the red sand raged around him, breaking his spiritual cocoon. His jade cockroach immortal bones were completely tainted by the Bloodbreak Sand, and his antennae, branches, mouthparts, and wings were all smashed to pieces, his flesh and bones separated! He could only struggle to hold on!
Even the cockroach immortal was beaten like this, so Li Fan naturally dared not personally withstand the power of the Red Sand Formation. After all, this Bloodbreak Sand was clearly the real stuff that had been stewed in the old Xuanmen's alchemy furnace for hundreds of years! It could crush the Tai Su body without any pressure!
He is currently using the Blood God Child to cover his body, which can barely withstand the attack. However, if he is hit, it will be like a handful of sand seeping into his body. He will have to be tempered again to remove the red sand. It might be faster to disintegrate and rebuild his body.
Of course, the Ten Ultimate Formation are the most powerful killing techniques available today, and Li Fan has also learned how to counter them.
Generally speaking, if you try to break through the formation head-on and fall into the red sand, you will surely perish. Usually, you have to calculate the changes in the formation, find the main position in charge of the formation, and use the method of primordial spirit to launch a sneak attack and try to break through a passage into the red sand.
However, if Li Fan were to take an unconventional approach and directly reveal his true form, using a closed string barrier to forcefully intercept the attack and swallow all the red sand into the star core, that would also be a viable method.
However, this formation wasn't specifically targeting Li Fan; its main objective was the Cockroach Immortal, so breaking the formation would be disastrous.
Li Fan then pushed his Blood Shadow Godly Movement to its limit, following the familiar changes of the Red Sand Array formation. He moved with the wind, almost in the same direction and speed as the red sand, instantly circling within the array. He also stirred up his Blood God Child clone, condensing it into a non-Newtonian fluid defensive membrane to avoid the attacks of the divine sand. At the same time, his mind raced like lightning, rapidly calculating and dodging the bombardment and ambushes of the gale and yin thunder within the array.
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long before their Dao Breath force was exhausted and they would have been swept into the Red Sand Formation and turned to ashes. It's only because Li Fan is such a cheat that he's covered in all sorts of abilities that he can not only see through the Red Sand Formation's movements in an instant, but also because the Tai Sha Star Core devours the Tai Su Heavens, which gives him a continuous stream of magical power that allows him to maintain the Blood Shadow Godly Movement and move through the formation the entire time!
However, this also meant that Li Fan couldn't easily escape and was essentially trapped within the formation.
However, Li Fan knew he wouldn't be trapped for long. That cockroach was, after all, a Feather Transformation Immortal. Although it appeared to have been utterly destroyed by the Red Sand Array, it was clearly abandoning its outer shell to condense its core and undergo a super-evolution by laying eggs inside its abdomen! Once its Dao body was stabilized, the mere Red Sand Array probably wouldn't be able to hold it...
Then, from the swirling red sand in the sky, nine beams of blood-red light suddenly shot down, as red as cinnabar and as crimson as the sun. The nine-colored divine light pierced through the cockroach's mangled body and illuminated a vague human figure inside!
Meanwhile, heavenly chants and divine music filled the air! Within those nine streaks of blood-red light, nine divine lords stared in astonishment and roared in fury!
"Heaven and earth are reversed! The celestial light is unbreakable! Gods and demons fall into my formation, and in an instant, even immortal bones turn to ash!"
"Holy crap! Heaven's Annihilation of Immortal Light! Damn you, sister!"
Li Fan nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Ignoring the red sand piercing his body, he flew backward and forcefully escaped the formation.
Almost simultaneously, with a whoosh, nine crimson torrents of divine light and radiant flames erupted from the mouths and nostrils of the nine divine lords! They struck the cockroaches squarely in the abdomen! The divine light and immortal fire blazed and burned, almost setting off a second sun in the world! The radiating light scorched the Bloodbreak Sand to an intense heat, making it as hot as iron! The entire crimson sand hurricane was ignited, glowing a brilliant red! Like a whirlwind of flames, it raged across the entire Three Realms!
Blood Codex Ten Deadly Techniques! Heavenly Annihilation Formation!
So what if Feather Transformation Immortal! Dozens of Divine Lords are standing here! They've set up two Heavenly Crimson Sand Formations in one go! Can't they be blasted to pieces?!
Amidst the raging winds and sudden bursts of heat, the surrounding Immortal Palace, flying islands, and celestial warships were all shaken by the aftershocks of the Nine Heavenly Annihilation Light. Instantly, their flying talisman arrays were destroyed and melted, losing the support of celestial power. Bound by the invisible gravity chains of the earth, they collapsed and crashed to the mortal realm!
Beneath the shattered and bombarded hundreds of the Immortal Palace lay the old Wang Jing, its countless dwellings and houses standing side by side, row upon row. The ancient capital of the Three Enclosures was once again ignited by fierce winds and raging waves. Golden serpents danced wildly, whipped by the howling winds, spreading the sea of fire and summoning the golden-red inferno back to the mortal realm.
Now the nobles of the Three Walls should understand.
This is what a chaotic world looks like...
