Chapter 2043: Chapter 1585: Xuan Huang Crossing Dao Yan (Part 2)
The most obvious was the pervasive erosion impact of Dao Yan.
The Xuan Huang Immortal Realm was merely near perfect, but not truly perfect. Although Li Fan had done his best to fill the gaps in the ship’s hull with various means, they were not completely eliminated.
The moment they entered Dao Yan, the corrosive force seeped into the Immortal Boat through these cracks.
The sky of the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm was suddenly shrouded as if by a layer of black cloth, turning dim and dull.
Not only in the sky, but countless small black fissures simultaneously appeared in every corner of the world at that moment. A frightening aura seeped from these cracks.
It was the phenomenon of Dao Yan’s devouring!
As the Overlord of the Xuan Huang Immortal Boat, although surprised, Li Fan did not panic and quickly commanded Mo Sha and the Dao Yi Bug to do their best to fill these cracks.
At the same time, he crushed a phantom in his palm.
Boundless energy surged from the shattered phantom. It swarmed towards every corner of the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the dim realm.
With the rapid replenishment of backup energy, the Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth itself also began to rapidly transform, regenerating the areas swallowed by Dao Yan.
The fissures in Heaven and Earth slowly grew smaller in response. The anomalies seemed to be about to disappear.
However, these patching and leak-blocking actions ultimately could not fundamentally prevent Dao Yan’s erosion. And the Imperfect cracks of the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm remained.
After being briefly repelled, Dao Yan quickly returned with a vengeance.
A large number of corrosive black gaps were generated elsewhere between Heaven and Earth.
With the experience of the first wave of responses, Li Fan was even less flustered, mending in an orderly manner.
Thus, in this kind of clash, the sky dome of the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm endlessly shifted between states of darkness and brightness.
“One does not recognize their own coarseness until they personally enter the mountains and seas.”
“Originally, I thought the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm was near perfect, but upon entering Dao Yan, I didn’t expect there to still be so many flaws. Fortunately, I was well prepared.”
“Moreover…”
The Mo Sha and Dao Yi Bug, which Li Fan pinned his hopes on, while quickly adapting to surviving in Dao Yan, were also trying to repair the small cracks in the Immortal Boat.
“The fewer the gaps, the smaller the storms.”
“When the boat is perfect, crossing without worries.”
The current state of the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm was fine, however, the situation of the living beings within the realm was not very optimistic.
Crossing Dao Yan meant they were already truly within the mountain and sea.
Therefore, in the world interwoven with light and dark, the magnificent and continuous illusions of mountains and seas occasionally emerged.
Infinite Sea, Upper Mountain.
These were things Li Fan had gradually gotten used to.
But for the living beings within the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm, they were an incredibly shocking existence.
Over nine-tenths of the lives, upon suddenly seeing the mountains and seas, were unable to withstand the pressure of the mountain and sea power, and turned to ash and smoke.
They perished so quickly that even their lingering consciousness couldn’t be preserved by Heaven and Earth. Even the possibility of reconstruction in the Yin God state was gone.
The originally lively and vibrant Xuan Huang Immortal Realm suddenly became desolate.
Faced with such a tragic scene, Li Fan, as the Xuan Huang Parent, showed no emotion on his face.
In his eyes, those lives that could not even withstand the first wave of storms had no value to him.
Dead is dead.
With a slight thought, a new abundance of life was swiftly nurtured again.
What truly mattered were those who survived, the living beings whose strength was sufficient to serve as crew and sailors.
Though they barely saved their lives, the vast majority of them were in a state of extreme panic in the face of the occasional mountain and sea illusions.
“What are these… exactly?”
“In such boundless mountains and seas, I’m barely even an ant! Not even an ant!”
“The sea overturns, the mountains hang inverted. They are pressing down!”
“Is this the scene beyond Xuan Huang? Saint Venerate above, Saint Venerate above…”
Panic, fear, and trepidation filled their spirit consciousness. Countless illusions presented chaotically in their minds.
Even though they tried their best to remain calm, it was difficult to protect their spirit consciousness from being overwhelmed. Inevitably, they became deranged.
And as if sinking into a quagmire, once the fear of the mountains and seas arose, it would grow deeper. At first, they could barely resist, but eventually, they completely succumbed.
Amidst the multitude of beings terrified of the overwhelming might of the mountains and seas, unable to carry on with their day-to-day lives.
A grand majestic figure once again appeared above the sky dome of the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm.
It was none other than [The Saint Venerate of Mystical Xuan Huang Overseeing the World]!
Unlike before, this time, the Saint Venerate looked below, a trace of sorrow in his eyes, and let out an inexplicable sigh.
His voice was like thunder, reverberating continuously, echoing through Heaven and Earth.
The enormous figure of the Saint Venerate emitted infinite warm light.
The convergence of sound and light seemed to bring the still surviving beings to a warm sanctuary. The mountain and sea illusions in their hearts gradually faded away.
The minds of the people slowly regained clarity, and they all burst into tears, kneeling on the ground, praising the Saint Venerate’s merits.
However, they did not know that Li Fan had intervened to save them only for the sake of the Immortal Boat’s stability. Those unable to face the mountain and sea power on their own had been listed as expendable.
When truly entering the mountains and sea and facing the Dao Yan impact, needing buffers. That would be the time for them to contribute themselves.
“Those who stand firm before the mountain and sea power, without retreat, number seven hundred and sixty-two.”
“Those who remain unafraid, number one hundred and sixty-seven.”
