See You Again

Those who cultivate themselves always keep their word.

"Die--!!"

If I say I want you dead, then I mean you dead.

"Die--!!"

Then the wind picked up.

"Die--!!"

Then the waves rose.

"Die--!!"

The earth surged like a vast ocean.

"Die--!!"

The sea breaks and the mountains roar.

"Die--!!"

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

"Die--!!"

Under the moonlight, thousands upon thousands of goat calves were swallowed by the surging waves and swept into the earth's torrents.

"Die--!!"

Those enormous, terrifying, grotesque Devil Embryos, which had just sprouted and had not yet grown strong branches or borne the fruits of the demonic heaven, were destroyed by a tsunami of pure violence.

"Die--!!"

When all Devil Form were destroyed, when all strange phenomena were shattered, the earth returned to calm. Like the sea after a storm, its fury dissipated, not a ripple remained, leaving only a dark, murky sea of flesh, like whale blubber or murky oil covering ocean currents, once again shrouding destruction and rage in deathly silence.

Heaven and earth were silent, leaving only the old man, his body hunched over from exhaustion, standing alone amidst the sea of demonic flesh, his body covered in demonic blood as if he had been plunged into an inkwell. Staring at his bloodstained hands, he was lost in memories, muttering to himself, utterly exhausted.

"I... I didn't... I didn't... betray you..."

And so the world was saved, once again.

"What... what kind of demonic path is this...?"

"What, what is that thing? Just by empty hands..."

"Could he be a Martial Emperor at the Breakthrough Realm? Even an Immortal Venerable is no more than this?"

"It's from Penglai..."

"What! He is Manifestation! He's the best at tearing apart demons, truly living up to his reputation!"

"... No, it's his junior brother, his name is Xiantong."

"What! He didn't manifest! Just how powerful is manifestation? He truly deserves the title of number one in the world!"

"..."

After a brief silence, the sea of Blood God Child erupted in excitement! The audience discussed amongst themselves, their divine senses clashing as they speculated and calculated the manifested combat power.

Li Fan was also on tenterhooks.

Good heavens! When he saw that tens of thousands of goat calves had been born and the Xuanmen sect had tucked their tails and fled, he thought everything was over. But unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope appeared, and the situation was turned around. The rampaging Xiantong to turn the tide!

Xiantong is indeed formidable. Just considering that the four sect leaders joined forces to kill a thousand demons, he alone killed nine thousand, which clearly demonstrates his combat prowess.

Despite such a large gap, the main reason is that Xiantong has been holding back for so long that he's gone crazy. His combat power has been boosted, and since he is also a Tai Su cultivator, he can receive the crazy boost from the moon's power tonight, which can be said to be the peak of his combat power in his life.

Of course, the Tai Su Lotus Demonic Path also played a significant role in this, with limitless potential and exquisite craftsmanship.

Although those goat cubs were a realm lower, their sheer numbers were Tai Su Dao. Their chaotic demonic thoughts and overwhelming malevolent aura, amplified by the power of the Primordial Moon, manifested in various Devil Form and condensed into all sorts of demonic light and fire—all manifestations of the Primordial Dao Power. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; even celestial Heavenly Immortal would give way to the might of this horde of demons. Otherwise, the four sect leaders wouldn't have joined forces so readily; they had simply experienced the pressure they faced back in the Tai Sha Star Realm.

However, these demons were only able to achieve their power quickly through Moon Worship. Their power was derived from the innate instincts of wild beasts and the blessings gained through random evolution and rampage. It was not Xiantong the Tai Su Lotus, which was perfected by the true teachings of the Luo Sect's Heavenly Book, the years of accumulation by the Xuanmen Daoist disciples, and five hundred years of secluded cultivation.

Just as Li Fan calculated, the Tai Su Black Lotus was indeed very well deduced, almost flawless. It also inherited the characteristic of the Penglai Lotus True Qi's extremely strong defensive power. It could only be penetrated by the homogenization of evil energy, and it was impossible to break through it head-on. Now, actual combat has also proven that not only is the Tai Chi Immortal Technique helpless against this technique, but even the Tai Su Demon Technique cannot destroy the lotus petals!

Even though some goat cubs occasionally evolve into incredibly powerful magical flames that can burn off one or two layers of lotus petals, under today's lunar power, Xiantong's combat strength is limitless and uncapped. The black lotus almost instantly regenerates, and the more damage it sustains, the stronger its defense becomes. In the end, relying on the lotus's protection, Xian Tong's Xiantong can no longer be described as an onion; it's practically a lead ball cannonball! It rampages through the demon horde, blasting the goat cubs to smithereens and turning them into mincemeat!

Xiantong is indeed formidable. Even if Li Fan's true form were here, without considering his own berserk state and the activation of his full power, he could probably only kill a few hundred goat cubs in a whole night. To wipe them all out would be impossible in less than ten days. And in that long, the goat cubs would have already grown into adult goats, Mother Goat, or even beings at the Tai Su Dao Ancestor level.

Just as everyone, including Xiantong and Li Fan, was momentarily lost in thought and shocked, another unexpected event occurred!

It's dawn!

No, it's not dawn yet, it's the Moon!

The purple moon illuminated the entire world! Even the air was bathed in purple light! The intensity of its radiation lit up the night sky! It was as if it were under a clear midday sky!

Now, apart from Xiantong who was still bound by his own memories, the sect leaders and Blood God Child also couldn't help but raise their heads and look up! Something was falling from the sky!

Is it a company? Or some kind of mecha warship? Technically, it shouldn't be significantly different from the combat mecha of the Third Division. Unless it's something like the cloned Immortal Emperor's prosthetic body on the Sun, it probably still wouldn't withstand Xiantong's tearing. Even if the manager's prosthetic body from the Sun Mothership were to come in person, it might not be able to save the day. After all, the radiation from the False Moon is something that ordinary people's rationality cannot withstand.

Then, from the moonlight and the dark clouds, a figure gradually became clear, seemingly falling from the invisible starry sky, bound by gravity, traversing the stratosphere and plummeting down to join the battlefield, stepping onto the stage of Juelong Ridge.

The company dog...

Li Fan watched as the humanoid figure, which appeared to have jumped from a starship in orbit, landed at Juelong Ridge, slowly decelerated, and floated above Yuntai Peak.

This is a bald man with no face. It's hard to tell whether he's wearing a mask or a hood. In any case, you can only vaguely see the curves of his brow bone and nose, but there are no facial features or pores. His skin is very unhealthy and pale, as if it's been coated with a thick layer of lime. You can't see any blood vessels or hair.

He was wearing a high-tech black bodysuit, and his physique appeared to be male. His attire resembled that of a superpowered individual often seen in comics, who would hastily paint their suit with blocks of color to save time.

This is less like a person and more like a mannequin you see in a shop window; it's hard to tell if it's a robot or Bio-Human. In any case, it's probably made by the company, a professional combat puppet without a doubt.

But...

"That, that person is!"

"Wh-what!"

"No, no way!"

"He can't possibly come back!"

The four leaders of the Xuanmen sect were the first to cry out in surprise, followed by the Pure Dharma King.

"Huh, huh!! This divine thought!"

"Impossible, impossible, impossible!"

"Is... is he really the Sect Leader?"

The Sect Leader? The Sect Leader of the Ten Absolutes God Sect? How did you recognize him? Is there really a Sect Leader who looks like this? His face is completely gone... Ah, no, no way...

In that instant, Li Fan suddenly realized something too. Could it be...?

"The Ten Absolute Gods Lord! It's the Ten Absolute Gods Lord!"

"Great God Lord! Has he finally returned after shattering the void?!"

"The Divine Cult will prevail! The Divine Lord has not abandoned us! The Divine Cult will prevail!"

The sea of blood boiled, while Yuntai Peak remained deathly silent.

Is this for real? One of the three supreme beings, the God Lord, will actually return to the Taiji Realm one day? You must be joking...

Li Fan remained relatively calm. The Divine Sect and Xuanmen might not be fully aware of the secrets of the Divine Lord or the situation on the other side of the 'gate,' but he was fairly clear about those secrets of the Divine Lord.

Given the deep-seated hatred the God Lord harbored, how could he possibly join the company? The probability of this faceless man being the God Lord himself is relatively small; he's most likely a clone. After all, the company can even clone Immortal Emperor combat bodies, so it's perfectly normal for the God Lord, who was subjected to various dissection experiments, to be cloned and replicated as a combat clone.

Hmph, the company is really cunning. If they were to release a cloned Immortal Venerable at a time like this, it's hard to say who the Church would side with. But if they release Clone God Lord, the attitude of these churches is another matter entirely.

And honestly, even if it's fake, they can totally act it out as real, since one of the company's original services is acting and scriptwriting. In that case, what's the loss of an Immortal Palace? It's a seamless transition, and they'll control the cult again!

This company... is not to be underestimated...

Okay, let's see what kind of abilities this combat clone from the company has to impersonate a god... Holy crap!!

"Xiantong--!"

"Why don't you just get out of here!"

"That bastard, he's exhausted!"

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The four sect leaders roared in anger, but it was too late.

Xiantong's head was blown to pieces.

The faceless god threw a punch from afar.

With just one punch, Xiantong, who was still in a daze, had his head smashed. The ground also suddenly collapsed, creating a huge crater as if it had been blasted open by a meteorite! Then, the shockwave and sonic boom exploded in the night sky!

The calm sea of black flesh and blood on the ground just moments before has now been churned into a terrifying wave once more!

At the same time, the sea of blood in the sky also boiled!

"Overlord! Overbearing Fist! It's a secret technique passed down only! Super Overbearing Fist!"

"It really is the God Lord! It really is the God Lord!"

"May the Divine Lord be victorious! May the Divine Lord be victorious!"

"It's destiny! This is destiny!"

"The religion of God is flourishing! The religion of God is flourishing!"

"Welcome back to the position of the Divine Lord!!"

Li Fan simply couldn't believe it. Xiantong was instantly killed? How could this be... No, no! It's possible! The Tai Su Black Lotus's move was too precise! There wasn't a single flaw! It required an extremely high level of Divine Sense calculation power! Even if Xiantong, a mentally unstable person, was mentally sound and could fight with the Tai Su Black Lotus protecting him the whole time, slaughtering nine thousand goat calves, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it!

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

A deafening roar, a storm of primordial spirit swept across the sea of Divine Sense! It even suppressed the roar of the sea of blood!

Oh my god! It's back! Seriously, it's because someone's brain is malfunctioning and it's not considered a core component?!

The headless Xiantong leaped up! He threw a counter-punch! A direct hit to the face of the Faceless God! Seeking revenge for the blown-up head! But the punch was blocked! The Faceless God counter-attacked! Shattering Xiantong's abdomen and chest! Xiantong roared! He grabbed the God's arm to tear it apart! He was sent flying! He flew back! Shattered again! He was sent flying again! The God was hit! No! He blocked it! Xiantong threw a punch! He missed! No, he hit! No, it was just an afterimage that missed! Holy crap, I can't see it! I can't see it at all, holy crap! Holy crap, who's hitting whom?! I can't see it, holy crap!

Li Fan was utterly dumbfounded. For a full ten seconds, it felt like the entire space was about to explode. The afterimages of the God-Lord clone and the Xiantong were clashing violently, flying through the air and diving into the ground. The mountains and the earth before them were like waves crashing against tofu, boiling and churning! This isn't cultivation! These two have a combat power of at least a million! This isn't the style of cultivation anymore! The combat power system has collapsed!!

Li Fan felt like spitting out a mouthful of blood. This level of combat was beyond the reach of any Tai Chi or Tai Su techniques. It was pure violence! Pure destruction! At this speed, even a quick head-pat wouldn't be enough! In a head-on fight, who knew who would be the one getting the head-pat?

Not to mention him, the other spectators, including the Blood God Child of the Divine Cult and the leaders of the Four Mountains, could not join the battle between these two!

But at least they could still watch the battle and witness such a peak showdown. Li Fan, however, was now having difficulty even maintaining his existence because his Radiant Star clone channel was being interfered with, and his Gu Guan Method was also affected!

He had already lost track of the two people through his Divine Sense search. He could only judge that the battle was still going on and was getting more and more intense by the loud noises of the surrounding mountains collapsing and the extent of the damage to the ground!

That can't be right. Xiantong is a genuine Dao Enlightenment cultivator, so why does that Faceless God clone also possess this level of combat power? Can such combat clones really be created using the company's technology? Can warriors of this level be mass-produced so easily? Can Dao Enlightenment level, void-shattering, super soldiers be mass-produced?

Or is he really the same? The Faceless God, is he truly the original God? He went to the other side of the 'Gate' to seek revenge, or did he think he was going to seek revenge, but ultimately fell into the company's hands, became their dog, and then returned through the gate? If even the God cannot escape the company's control, how can this world possibly escape the control of the other side of the 'Gate'...?

Li Fan couldn't help but let his mind wander. After all, when you realize that you are really weak, so weak that you could actually be crushed to death with your little finger, you can't help but let your mind wander and speculate wildly, filled with the fear of these wild thoughts.

How can this be resolved? How would he play if he were in his position?

"Aren't you leaving yet! What are you wasting time for!"

"Chasing the Stars in the Nine Heavens! Destroying the Laws and Subduing Demons!"

"Stop them! At least get the treasure vault away!"

"A mere demonic sect!"

They've made their move! The four sect leaders couldn't hold back any longer and attacked first! Xiantong is probably at a disadvantage!

"Support the Sect Leader!" "Long live the Divine Lord! Long live the Divine Lord!"

"Demon Slayer Sect! Immortal Breaker Peak! Demon Slayer Sect! Immortal Breaker Peak!"

The Blood God Child also rushed forward! They launched a general offensive!

They surged forward! The towering sea of blood clashed with the light and shadow of the four sect leaders!

And Yuntai Peak too! The Xuanmen sect of Yuntai Peak has also made its move!

Countless shooting stars rose slowly from the peaks of Yuntai Peak! Like the Milky Way reversing! Like a meteor shower flowing backward! Rushing towards the sea of blood!

It's not that the old Xuanmen immortals have changed their nature and don't want to escape anymore; it's that they can't escape even if they wanted to! It's so obvious, there's no need to calculate it! If they can't win this battle, there will be no more Xuanmen!

But it's too late to realize that now!

The outcome is decided.

When the False Moon shines so brightly, the Xuanmen sect's defeat is already inevitable.

There are very few immortal techniques that can counter the Blood God Child Great Law Art, and now, under the overwhelming baleful aura and the infusion of the moon's power, they cannot even unleash a single move.

The law is no longer effective.

The Five Arts and Daoist arts painstakingly studied over thousands of years, the secret teachings passed down through generations, and the divine weapons accumulated over countless lifetimes are all utterly useless trash at this moment! What are first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade weapons? They may be touted as being of the highest rank, but if you can't use them when it comes to fighting for your life, then they are utterly worthless!

Rubbish!

The immortals are falling, the children are disintegrating, and Yuntai Peak is collapsing.

The four sect leaders were still able to hold back the entire Kunlun cult under the command of the Pure Dharma King.

However, Xiantong could no longer stop the Clone God Lord.

Xiantong has exhausted all his strength.

In other words, no one could win if they first tore apart nine thousand demons and then fought against the three supreme gods.

Xiantong was beaten like a kite with a broken string, crashing headfirst into the cliff of Yuntai Peak, shattering the Dao Palace and Dao Tower into rubble. He was completely buried by the collapsed mountain, but before he could even spit out blood and catch his breath, the Divine Lord caught up with him, blasting him away and punching him repeatedly into the alloy hull of Yuntai Peak, unleashing a barrage of attacks! Even the surrounding mountains were shattered like popcorn by the aftershocks of his punches!

Once Xiantong falls, no one will be able to control the power of the Faceless God. At that time, the four sect leaders and the remaining Xuanmen disciples will all be wiped out.

The entire Yuntai Peak, and most of the Xuanmen sect, were being slaughtered right before Li Fan's eyes.

From this day forward, this world, this primordial world, will become, as Heaven desires, a playground for Celestial Devil.

There is no force left that can defy the company's will.

So Li Fan made his move. In fact, he was desperately maintaining the channel of star power, all for this last chance!

"It's fixed! Jump! Megavolts!"

Thunder Kylin finally unleashed its full power! A single strike sent the Faceless God flying!

The lights came on at the same time!

Yuntai Peak slowly began to levitate!

The next instant, Thunder Kylin was blasted into dust by the God Lord's punch! Then, as if activated by some command, the faceless man rushed into the depths of Yuntai Peak in an instant! Like a cruise missile, he crashed into the peaks, smashing control towers, signal towers, command rooms, and other such places to pieces!

"Don't even think about it!!"

"Xiantong, you piece of trash! Trash!!"

The two sect leaders, their bodies riddled with Blood Talisman Sword like hedgehogs, hurriedly returned and joined forces to drag the Faceless God out of Yuntai Peak and beat him.

Or maybe he'll beat me up, who knows? Anyway, Li Fan can't see clearly right now, so it doesn't matter.

Li Fan landed in front of Xiantong. This old man was actually quite good. He had been beaten by the God Lord for so long and was beaten up like a twisted dough stick, but he was still visibly recovering.

No wonder Xiantong had been struggling to maintain his core by encasing it in a primordial lotus. That lotus is truly powerful; he should definitely refine one when he has the time...

"Hey, Xiantong. I know you can still hear me."

Li Fan is also about to lose control of the Star Power Channel; he only has one last move left.

"Here, call him by his name."

Li Fan threw a black, pyramid-shaped tetrahedron into the pile of unrecognizable flesh and blood.

"If you satisfy him, I might let you see Senior Brother Yan again."

The pile of meat slices seemed to tremble slightly.

"So what if I lied to you? What else do you have to lose?"

Li Fan turned his head; in the time it took to say those few words, about a third of Yuntai Peak had disappeared.

"Let's take a gamble. As long as we survive, we'll see him someday."

Without its core support, the ship's hull, mountain peaks, and buildings began to collapse inwards, and the broken cliffs of the immortal mountain slid down from the sky and plummeted to the earth.

"You've waited for him for five hundred years, and all your efforts have been in vain. Are you willing to accept this?"

So Li Fan disconnected Starlink.

In the last instant of the black screen

He saw lotus flowers blooming, and shadows rising from the earth.
