Chapter 1350: Cracks in the Earth Covering the Starry Sea
Since he realized the Wooden Sword Shadow Escape Technique, this was the first time Li Fan encountered a situation where his magical power was so severely affected by the outside world. He even had a vague premonition that if he hadn't just absorbed the Three-pronged Tree, he would have gained a deeper understanding of the changes between truth and falsehood.
I'm afraid that if he fell suddenly like this, he would at least end up with his magical powers disintegrating and being seriously injured.
Fortunately, Li Fan has made some progress after all.
It was this little bit of progress that allowed him to maintain the shadow of the wooden sword and successfully enter the depression node in the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm!
It is different from the reservoir depression used to store the residual power of the true immortal that Li Fan encountered before.
After stepping here, you can clearly feel the difference between this place and the outside world due to the violent changes in the situation.
It was like a sudden crack in the earth, a bottomless crack in the ground.
At this moment, Li Fan and others fell to the bottom of the abyss and looked up at the exposed sky.
However, the sky here is a pitch black filled with deathly silence.
And the cracks and depressions here...
Li Fan did not put away the shadow of the wooden sword, but still used it to protect Master Yin and Baihua.
He dodged and came outside the shadow.
I feel this place personally.
There was still darkness all around.
But the "blackness" here is different from the deathly void outside.
It's more like the night falls in midsummer, with vitality hidden in it!
"How could such a huge amount of vitality gather at the joints between the high walls and the ground?" Li Fan was shocked.
After looking more carefully, he determined that none of this was his imagination.
Li Fan made further observations.
In addition to pure vitality, there seems to be no living beings in the cracks in the ground.
Moreover, the actual range here is not just a corner as seen from a normal perspective. Instead, it spreads endlessly towards the outside world, as if there is no end at all.
There was no danger for the time being, so Li Fan put away his magical powers.
Master Yin and Baihua looked around in surprise.
The birth of vitality here is obviously beyond their understanding. The spirit was tense, fearing that some unknown creature would suddenly appear from the darkness nearby and attack.
When Li Fan saw the performance of the two, he became alert. They didn't seem to be as indifferent as him.
Because it was probably the first time that I experienced the "high and low of potential", I was separated from the area where I was born, resulting in restlessness and panic.
It was like a mortal who had lived on the plateau all year round and suddenly came to the top of a cliff or an underground valley without the ability to protect himself. It is inevitable that changes in mood will occur naturally.
After a few words of comfort in a deep voice, Li Fan slowly led them to explore the cracks and depressions in the ground.
There was silence.
Pure vitality, as if it existed only at the beginning of creation, flows quietly here like an underground river.
The vitality rises upward, but it cannot escape from the deep cracks in the ground.
Just gathering and gathering here.
Li Fan was keenly aware that the vitality here was significantly different from the vitality that breeds life in the Xuanhuang Realm.
If there is such a huge amount of vitality in the Xuanhuang Realm, it will definitely trigger all kinds of incredible changes. Mountains and rivers rise from the ground, and trees reach into the sky. It will definitely be accompanied by the birth of countless new species and new creatures.
But here, life is just life.
It does not meet the conditions for the birth and evolution of life. It is like a pool of stagnant water, giving people an extremely weird feeling.
"Maybe it's because the power here is too low."
Li Fan couldn't help but think so.
After exploring slowly for most of the day, there was no obvious change in the surrounding scenery.
Li Fan frowned and asked Master Yin and Baihua to wait where they were.
He himself was using the shadow of the wooden sword to move forward quickly.
With the speed of his escape technique at the moment, he could cross the entire Darkest Star Sea in less than a day.
But Li Fan was shocked to find that this crack in the ground was far narrower than he imagined!
Even as he moved forward, Li Fan found that the cracks in the ground were still like a maze, with different branches gradually extending along the direction.
It was fine at first, and it was just a single-digit split.
But later, each branch led to dozens or hundreds of different passages.
Soon after each passage, there are a large number of branches.
Later, even though he possessed the heaven-defying escape technique, Li Fan did not dare to go deep into it rashly.
This maze of seams in the ground is really too big.
After three days of rapid exploration, theoretically it was enough to visit the entire Darkest Star Sea.
However, at this moment, the end of the underground labyrinth could not be seen at all.
Li Fan had no choice but to return based on the memory he had when he came.
After explaining the situation to Master Yin and others, both of them were shocked.
"This weird seam is definitely not just under the Great Wall of Remnant World."
"Perhaps, it's like an underground channel, leading from all directions to all parts of the Dark Star Sea!" Master Yin somewhat understood.
Baihua nodded in agreement: "I can vaguely feel the source of life here. In addition to the ruins of countless worlds that have been destroyed in the Great Wall of the Remnant World, it also comes from every corner of the Silent Star Sea!"
"It's like an underground river, absorbing every bit of new life and gathering it like a stream."
If we say that the high wall is the supreme existence that surrounds the sea of stars.
Then the cracks and depressions hidden under the high wall node are the lowest point of the entire starry sky.
Most of the vitality that the Star Sea has recovered from its destruction has slowly and finally merged here along the cracks in the ground everywhere under the Star Sea.
It is precisely because most of the vitality of the entire star sea has been gathered for thousands of years, the huge vitality contained here makes Li Fan feel a little frightened.
"This magnificent creation is beyond human power..."
"Is it possible that it is the work of a true immortal again? It is like a high wall, in order to completely block the life of the Dark Star Sea." Master Yin's face looked uncertain.
As for Baihua, she has gradually come out of her previous panic.
"Holy Master, can I grab some life here?" she asked.
Li Fan's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "If you only take a small amount and don't trigger a riot in the underground river of vitality, there should be no danger."
"But remember, don't be greedy and accept it just when it's good. Otherwise..."
Li Fan looked at the vitality flowing calmly here with a serious expression: "The number is too huge, and the brilliant power bursts out suddenly. Even though it is alive, it can also kill people!"
Baihua nodded: "I know this. In fact, it's useless for me to ask for so much. All I need is to wake up the frozen glass world..."
Baihua's tone was faint, and as she spoke, she transformed into her own glazed golden body.
In the golden, transparent core of the figure, a microcosm of the world, as if carved from ice and jade, stands out.
You can vaguely see the scenes of countless monks, sects, mountains and rivers.
"Liu Li... the flowers are blooming..."
The flowers sang softly, and the golden body suddenly turned into a thirty-two-petal glazed golden flower.
Sacred, solemn.
The glazed golden flower flew into the river of vitality without splashing and scattering with vitality.
Just floating quietly.
Thirty-two petals bloom slowly.
Li Fan saw that every trace of vitality was extracted from these petals, all instilled into the miniature of the world in the center of the flower.
But the huge vitality in front of him seemed to be extremely condensed. It's not that easy to extract.
Thirty-two golden flowers work together, and what appears in the central shadow is only one or two drops visible to the naked eye.
But even this small amount of vitality is like dew to the microcosm world after a long drought.
It's like a wilted flower that once again touched water and regained its original water spirit.
All kinds of incredible changes took place in that microcosm world, that is, the Wansheng Realm.
A look of ecstasy appeared on Baihua's face.
Master Yin was also attracted by this wonderful scene for a moment.
Li Fan noticed, however, that because of Baihua's action of absorbing life, the majestic life slowly flowing in around her formed a miniature vortex around her.
The whirlpool was still small at first, but soon it gained momentum of crazy expansion.
It's like the whole crack in the ground is coming alive. Li Fan couldn't help but look sideways at the power that suppressed everything in the sky.
"That's enough!" Li Fan frowned and reminded.
Baihua is still relatively sober and has not been dazzled by short-term profits.
Even though there was a lot of reluctance, the thirty-two-petal glazed golden flower was finally put away.
Without an outlet, the gradually roaring underground river of vitality became calm again.
However, in a short period of time, the gathered vitality did not subside, forming a rapid torrent here.
Under the wash of vitality, Li Fan and others inside couldn't help but feel that their souls were being washed away by it.
Li Fan had to strengthen the blessing of the wooden sword's phantom magical power.
Master Yin looked at the seemingly peaceful but actually strange and dangerous scene around him, and suddenly realized: "I know where that contradictory and always-dangerous feeling comes from! Because what is flowing here is not just life. In There is still a layer of vitality flowing on the surface, absorbing the unknown power of vitality! "
"It is this power that continuously absorbs vitality from all over the Star Sea and seals it here!"
Baihua, who returned to his normal form, nodded in agreement: "In order to separate this power from pure vitality, that's why it is so difficult for me to absorb it. Strictly speaking, the level of this power that strips away vitality does not seem to be high. Just Even I can separate it from life."
"But..." A trace of fear flashed across Baihua's face.
"There are simply too many of them. As much life as there is in the seams here, there is as much power to strip away life. We may be able to resist the invasion of a few waves, but we will definitely not be able to survive the endless erosion."
Speaking of this, Baihua couldn't help but glance at Li Fan.
She paused: "Perhaps, the Holy Master can escape with your extraordinary escape skills."
Li Fan didn't answer.
Instead, he stretched out his hand to touch and feel the rapid torrent of vitality around him.
The erosion of the power of stripping away vitality is so obvious.
The hand that was struck turned pale in an instant.
The flesh and blood seemed to have been drained out, and the skeleton inside was faintly visible.
Moreover, this flow of vitality slowly spreads to other parts of the body.
Li Fan decisively cut off his arm, thus stopping the continued erosion of the power that deprived him of vitality.
The severed hand fell into the river of life.
Without the protection of the main body, it will soon dissolve and disappear like a wax statue under high temperature.
Become part of the river of life.
"This power..."
After regenerating his arm, Li Fan moved slightly, recalling the details he had realized before.
It is not an ordinary extraction of vitality.
Instead, the foundation on which vitality depends is washed away in an instant.
If there is no skin left, how will the hair be attached? The foundation is gone, the vitality has no attachment, and we have no choice but to drift with the tide.
This is a mysterious feeling.
Li Fan still can't understand what the so-called basis of vitality is.
But he can clearly feel its loss.
"It's incredible."
"But..."
"It seems to have something in common with the high wall?"
Li Fan said thoughtfully: "The so-called high wall is actually the restriction of the supreme rules. There is no way ahead, or in other words, there is no front!"
"And the power of depriving vitality in this crack in the ground makes the foundation of life disappear."
"..."
The crack depression is hidden under the normal star sea.
Like an underground dark river, it is spread all over the star sea.
The scale is so large that it is obviously only possible to build a strong existence.
"Maybe it is really as Master Yin guessed, it is used to extract and block the birth of the vitality of the star sea?"
But Li Fan soon felt a little confused.
It is indeed extracting vitality, but not completely.
Because the large amount of vitality absorbed by the crack in the ground for tens of millions of years is still lying here quietly!
Indeed, the method of entering the crack is extremely difficult. Li Fan had gone back and forth between the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm countless times, but he had never been able to detect the extremely tiny node entrance.
But it is not absolute after all.
It is still possible to enter by chance.
For example, this time, Xu Ke was affected by the reverberating star power of the riot, and thus happened to enter this crack in the ground.
"If you really want to cut off the vitality of the Star Sea, with his means of creating high walls and digging through the cracks in the ground, you can definitely directly extract these vitality outside the high walls."
"But it just stays in the Star Sea..."
Li Fan thought, his expression was inexplicable: "Either, the creators of the cracks and the high walls are two different people."
"Or, it was done intentionally."
In front of Li Fan, the whole picture of the Darkest Star Sea suddenly appeared.
Surrounding the Star Sea, high walls stood, blocking it.
At the bottom of the Star Sea, the cracks were densely packed, connecting channels, grabbing and preserving the vitality of the Star Sea.
And at the edge of the Star Sea.
The highest wall, and the lowest crack.
Converge in one place.
"A spectacle of the sea of stars."
"For the creatures in the sea of stars, they are all extremely despairing existences. However..."
"Perhaps this crack in the ground is not."
The scene in front of Li Fan changed again.
"The sea of stars has recovered from destruction. However, it will not be possible to breed life again overnight."
"Especially for tens of millions of years, the residual power of the true immortals has not yet dissipated. Even if the vitality is revived, it will only be polluted by the residual power of the true immortals soon. It's like a scorching desert. Even if there is a little rain during the day, it will soon evaporate."
"The gradual vitality emerging from the sea of stars is a pure waste and cannot really breed living beings in the sea of stars."
"But if they are all collected..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
Recommend Yan Shen's new book.
The world has been divided for more than three hundred years.
The Central Plains is full of singing and dancing, the foreign races are preparing for war, the martial arts world is everywhere, and the famous generals suppress the ten directions.
Five years before the world is in chaos, the twelve-year-old pharmacist Li Guan kills people on a rainy night.
Finally I opened my eyes and saw this chaotic world.
There were countless bones under the horses' hooves, famous generals, beauties, martial arts, magic soldiers, and common people.
Since ancient times, only bones have been seen in the yellow sand fields!
Confucian scholars were crushed by iron hooves; Buddhas were swept away by long spears!
I, Li Guanyi, invite this world to die!
