My Simulated Road to Immortality

His power of benevolent transformation was clearly still effective. From beginning to end, the influence on his surroundings never changed. So why did the Hidden Emperor's attitude suddenly shift upon entering this space?

"Could it be that from the very start, he was never affected by me? And instead wanted to lure us in?"

Once this thought rose, it could not be dispelled.

In the heart of the Benevolent Transformation, an icy chill set in.

The Taoist Principle of Benevolent Transformation he realized was strong indeed. Anyone unable to resist its influence had no room for resistance before him, they could only be at his mercy.

But conversely, if the other party could somehow withstand the transformation...

Then he, the Nameless True Immortal, was actually no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Just as he was about to discuss countermeasures with the one on his shoulder, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the darkness.

"Since you all are so eager to meet Solitude..."

"Then Solitude will fulfill your wish."

The darkness gradually faded, and the Heavenly Pillars, once hidden in the shadows, appeared in the sight of the group of immortals.

From heaven to earth, it stood isolated and solemn, as if recounting a tragic tale.

Looking at the Heavenly Pillars before them, waves of chill arose in the hearts of the group of immortals.

They found it hard to believe: "That's... the South Immortal Sky Pillar?! How is that possible! Wasn't it supposed to have disappeared entirely, with the Tai Li Star Field and Ancient Realm of Mortals, into the path's demise?"

"Is this the Star of Famine?"

"I can't even sense this root at all!"

The group of immortals gradually fell into panic.

Primordial, Hungry Immortal, Tiandu Grandmaster, Situ Xing.

The four Heavenly Pillars struck like hammers upon their hearts.

And encircled by the pillars, a solitary figure stood silently.

Gazing at the group of immortals, as if they were livestock ready for slaughter.

Under such a gaze, anger and fear clashed within them.

"No need for panic, everyone. Watch me capture him!"

The black cat's green eyes locked onto Li Fan from afar, revealing a hint of mockery.

Then, with a leap, it suddenly approached Li Fan.

Two beams of radiant green light shot forth.

Transforming into a blade and a sword.

In a flash, they encircled Li Fan.

The black cat's sudden assault, while anticipated by Li Fan, caught him off guard with the green blade and sword shooting from its eyes.

For he discovered that the protective [Limitless] power around him was ineffective against this pair of green blade and sword!

Goosebumps erupted all over him, his heart pounding a warning.

"Not within the [Primordial] possibilities of the Taoist Principle?"

In an instant, Li Fan comprehended.

He saw within this green blade and sword a dead silent world of only objects, as if an apocalyptic tribulation had wiped out all living beings, leaving nothing but countless remnants of bladed ice.

Unknown how many years passed, these objects, resting in the dead silent starry sky, began imitating their long-gone masters by instinct.

Gradually they occupied the path of the heavens.

The struggle between these objects was even more brutal than that between humans.

Without emotional factors, relentless and exhaustive.

As the struggles and fusions among the objects continued,

Eventually, in that cold starry sky, only a sword and a blade remained!

[Daoist Sword and Dao Blade]!

Like the Transformation Stone Mother, this possibility displayed by the black cat was one where a complete Tao was realized!

Though of a dead silent possibility following tribulation, it was nonetheless a complete fusion of Tao.

As the green blade and sword approached, Li Fan realized he seemed to have been trapped in a desperate situation.

Two cold intents of slaughter had firmly locked onto him.

Even any array technique, Divine Technique, or Dao technique seemed futile in blocking the attack of this sword and blade!

"No wonder this group of true immortals, despite knowing everything in the Primordial Immortal Realm, still had such confidence. Insisting on seeking me out for trouble."

"With this [Daoist Sword and Dao Blade] in hand, even the five Heavenly Emperors drawn by my strokes might be slain instantly, and turned into nourishment for the sword and blade's growth."

Because it evolved from mutual killing, this [Daoist Sword and Dao Blade] had an almost instinctive interest in cutting down and devouring other Taoist Principles.

Li Fan could almost feel the greed and ecstatic desire from the eerie green shimmering on this pair of sword and blade.

In a moment of myriad thoughts, the blade and sword drew closer once again.

With no time to spare, Li Fan made the most fitting decision at the last moment.

The green blade and sword whistled as they passed through his body.

The immense aura stirred turmoil in the Heavenly Pillar Space.

Even the four Heavenly Pillars seemed affected, trembling incessantly.

However...

Under the gaze of the immortals from the Sea of the Northern Stars, the figure of the Hidden Emperor remained unmoved.

He even stretched out a hand to gently stroke the green sword and blade beside him.

"Peeping Star? What's happening?" The expression of Benevolent Transformation dramatically changed, unable to control himself, he questioned the black cat on his shoulder.

The black cat too wore an expression of disbelief.

Upon activating the [Daoist Sword and Dao Blade], its spirit was already quite drained. Now seeing the enemy unharmed under its ultimate move, it felt an unspeakable fear and confusion.

The unyielding black cat attempted to invoke the [Daoist Sword and Dao Blade] to harm the enemy once more.

But for some reason, that figure seemed to not exist in the world. No matter the heaven-defying destructive power of the [Daoist Sword and Dao Blade], it could not harm him in the slightest!

This situation was entirely beyond its understanding!

...

Li Fan ignored the utterly panicked group of immortals, and under the protection of [Illusion as Reality], he continued to stroke the green sword and blade beside him.

Just moments earlier, at that crucial moment, he decisively activated the protective ability of the real illusion.

Transforming into that pair of sword and blade itself.

Moments later, the alarms in his heart vanished entirely.

The all-encompassing green intent of killing could no longer harm him in the slightest.

Just like the time he merged into the Infinite Sea and could freely wield the Power of Infinity, at this moment, he became part of this pair of sword and blade.

Though sharp, how could a sword or blade cut itself?

"Indeed, it's from a path of another possibility."

Li Fan squinted as he sensed a completely unfamiliar aura from this pair of green sword and blade.

It was like the Daoist Origin he encountered from the Sea of the Northern Stars after leaving the High Wall. It seemed to be an entirely foreign system.

But fundamentally, it remained a derivation of the Tao under different circumstances.

"My Net of the Infinite Aspects shall experience this exotic flair today."

The power of the Ink-Killing Immortal Spirit surged out from Li Fan.

With the divine camouflage of [Illusion as Reality], it rushed impatiently towards the [Daoist Sword and Dao Blade].

Since it was an embodiment of Tao, it could not escape the erosion of Dao Yan.

Once its offensive nature could be ignored, this [Daoist Sword and Dao Blade] was just a feast for the Ink-Killing Net of the Infinite Aspects.

While Li Fan was devouring this collection of Taoist Principles from other possibilities,

The immortals from the Sea of the Northern Stars finally awoke from their daze.

Especially the black cat, which cried out incessantly: "Stop him! He's devouring my treasure!"

In the face of desperate circumstances, the group of immortals did not choose to sit idly by.

They unleashed their Divine Techniques, attacking Li Fan in unison.

But all the techniques vanished without a trace once they were within three meters of Li Fan's front.
