My Simulated Road to Immortality

Before attaining Half Immortality, Li Fan had previously used the Faceless Stone Statue several times to call upon this Power of Darkness. It can be said that he is very familiar with it.

Now, having ascended to Half Immortal, capturing the energy accumulated over many years within this Ocean of Darkness comes effortlessly to him.

Li Fan is not the master of the Power of Darkness. Therefore, during the process of capture, it exhibited significant resistance. But Li Fan is no longer who he used to be; under his formidable strength, the resistance of the Power of Darkness is all in vain.

All obediently come into Li Fan's palm.

Since it originated from the 'Near Immortal Power' nurtured from the True Immortal Corpse, it possesses some 'infinite' characteristics similar to immortal power. Gathering in Li Fan's palm, it seems to continuously compress without end.

When the entire Ocean of Darkness is absorbed by Li Fan and no longer remains dim, the palm of Li Fan merely contains a small black sphere, dark yet tinged with a hint of shine.

And when the long-settled darkness finally dissipates, Li Fan is able to clearly see the True Immortal Remains in this place.

Or rather, the remnants of the remains.

The True Immortal's body has been entirely drained as nourishment by the Gathering Spirit for Immortality Array, leaving only a few faint traces thinner than shadows.

If it weren't for Li Fan observing with the commanding presence of a True Immortal, one wouldn't even see the last traces left by this fallen True Immortal.

"The Immortal returns~"

Li Fan gazes quietly at the afterimage of the remains for a long time. The traces are too fragile, unable to preserve any effective information.

He gently blows a breath, dispersing it completely.

It wasn't that Li Fan had a sudden kind-heartedness to help this deceased True Immortal pass on.

But he wanted to take this opportunity to clear the traces and see if there were other remains of the True Immortal within this Ocean of Darkness.

The outcome was unsurprising.

Apart from a few indistinct roars emanating from the True Immortal's desire to survive below, no corresponding fluctuations remained in the vast Ocean of Darkness or the entire Xuanhuang World, and the countless starry skies of the experimental field.

"It seems that this True Immortal is indeed truly dead."

The original purpose of building the Gathering Spirit for Immortality Array within the Ocean of Darkness was to serve as the energy source for the Xuanhuang World to escape the Immortal Ruins.

Yet now, Li Fan can single-handedly forcibly pull the Xuanhuang World away from the attraction of the Immortal Ruins.

The power he displays, even though partly assisted by the Phantom of the Guarded Hill, utterly surpasses the entire Ocean of Darkness.

The subjugation process is seamless, even amidst the clearing.

Li Fan turns his gaze to the final participant here.

The True Immortal's desire to survive.

Resembling the shadow of a withered branch, or a hunched human form, it displays both fear and yearning upon sensing Li Fan's presence.

Much like a forest beast observing a hunter who intrudes into the mountains, wavering between escape and greed.

Li Fan, as if feeding a pet, extends a wisp of his own energy feeding it towards the True Immortal's desire to survive.

The True Immortal's desire to survive circles around a few times, afraid this food might slip away, then encloses and devours it.

Seeing this, a faint smile appears on Li Fan's lips.

"Indeed, it's reduced to a foolish thing with only an instinctual desire to survive left."

"Ink-Killing Immortal Soul, especially the version fused with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, is not something you can easily digest."

The True Immortal's desire for survival tries to consume the food, but no matter what, it cannot diminish it in the slightest.

Moreover, this food in its stomach even counterattacks, trying to devour it from within!

The True Immortal's desire to survive lets out horrified roars, resembling an Ancient Fierce Beast.

No matter how it struggles, it cannot withstand the power of the Ink-Killing Immortal Soul.

Helplessly tossing and turning in the deepest part of the Ocean of Darkness.

When the dust settles, the True Immortal's desire to survive has become one of the myriad Daoist Images of the Ink-Killing Immortal Soul.

Li Fan thought about whether he could find any remnants of past memories in this thread of the True Immortal's lingering thoughts.

However, after a meticulous search, he finds nothing but instincts of devouring and resurrection.

"What a pity."

"Unable to uncover the true identity of this True Immortal buried at the bottom of the Ocean of Darkness."

"But at most, he was merely a common True Immortal. It's irrelevant now."

Capable of subduing the Nameless Realm with a mere wave of a hand, the current Li Fan has the right to say so.

He gazes around the empty Ocean of Darkness, contemplating how such a large empty space might be utilized in the future.

Yet suddenly sensed the generation of some inexplicable energy here again.

"Hmm?"

Clearly, the source of energy here has been entirely collected by him, so where does this new generation come from?

Li Fan is a bit surprised but not panicked.

A divine sense search reveals these minuscule energies, like countless weak points of light, originate from all over the Xuanhuang World.

These points of light are even more minute than the remnants of the True Immortal remains.

If they hadn't abruptly appeared in the fully drained Ocean of Darkness, Li Fan might have subconsciously ignored them.

Li Fan draws in the light points, discovering that upon contact, these points burst and vanish like bubbles.

It seems they do not exist within Li Fan's body, their destination unknown.

After pondering for a while, Li Fan gathers all the light points in his hand, forming a light sphere for careful observation.

Only when the scale reaches a certain level does Li Fan feel a mysterious familiarity from it.

"This is...?"

"Spirituality?"

"No, it hasn't reached the level of [Huanzhen], much lower."

"But it still signifies a certain degree of cultivation talent aggregation."

Combining the light sphere with the Black Sphere formed from the Ocean of Darkness, Li Fan seems to have realized what this is ultimately about.
