Chapter 1496: Mutual Direct Attack on the Yellow Dragon
[Yan Jian] Nameless, faced with Li Buren's sudden assault, a strip of yellow light flashed in his eyes. Though imprisoned beneath the Dao Network for tens of thousands of years, he remained unflustered.
His feet stomped heavily, and in an instant, his form resembled a towering mountain, standing firm between Heaven and Earth.
The Net of the Infinite Aspects used by Li Buren to bind him felt as if it were suddenly grasped by a strong hand, frozen in a stalemate and unable to move.
The mountain formed by [Yan Jian] was vast and continuous, and even though the Power of Limitless surged within the Net of the Infinite Aspects, it was difficult to dissolve the mountain of Yan Jian in a short time.
Li Buren, slightly frustrated, didn't hesitate for a moment and swung his rod directly at the elderly Yan Jian Nameless.
This situation was precisely what Li Fan had anticipated earlier. Despite having enlightened for a hundred years, using the Power of Limitless for himself, he had not yet reached the state of embodying Limitless. Facing a truly strong one among the Nameless Immortals, it might be difficult to achieve instantaneous dominance.
This is the reason why Li Fan brought the Infinite Sky Pillar with him.
Although Yan Jian Nameless was old yet firm, in front of the true Wuji Dao, he was still somewhat lacking. The Infinite Sky Pillar pierced straight into the depths of the mountain. The hard rock of the towering mountain ranges crumbled like tofu at the touch.
The yellow light in Yan Jian's eyes extinguished like a blown-out candle, disappearing instantly, leaving only a look of shock.
"This Yan Jian, the path of Dao he transformed into a mountain range, seems to be imitating [Upper Mountain]."
Similarly suppress this Nameless, sending him into the High Wall.
Li Buren, while reminiscing about the Dao path he had just comprehended from his opponent, headed towards the third Heavenly Pillar.
With two Supreme Treasures in hand, Li Buren encountered not a single proper resistance, once again successfully capturing the third Nameless Immortal [Bu Yan] sealed within the Dao Network.
Three of the four great pillars have been lost.
The Shuo Star Sea Road Network has lost the vast majority of its supporting Anchor Points. The suppression force is greatly reduced, allowing Chaos and Benevolent Transformation to move freely without much interference.
The decline of the Dao Network, along with the Shuo Star Sea Starry Sky, has brought subtle changes.
In the context of Dao Yan's pressure, the existence of the Dao Network is like an integrated Heavenly Pillar, supporting the collapsing sky. Now, with Li Fan suddenly removing three of these pillars, the Star Sea within the High Wall has become more stable, but here in the Shuo Star Sea, it has undoubtedly become precarious.
In the Star Sea, life still exists for now. But beyond the Star Sea, it seems as if covered by a shadow. There's a continuous rumbling, like mountains and seas roaring.
Benevolent Transformation and Chaos, clearly not unfamiliar with these signs.
Even having deeply ingrained memories, they instinctively feel extreme unease and fear.
Li Buren ignores their emotions, only faithfully executing Li Fan's orders.
Heading to the final location where a Nameless is imprisoned.
Benevolent Transformation and Chaos can only follow, unable to resist voicing their reminder: "Something seems off. This operation is going too smoothly."
"The Dao Network is about to collapse, yet the [Great Net] hasn't appeared. Where has he gone?"
"There's no way he would just run away. The Dao Network is his life's work, he would never give it up so easily. Unless his current target is more important than the Dao Network?"
A thought inevitably arises in the minds of the two Nameless.
And Li Buren seems to have guessed their thoughts. He pauses briefly but continues forward.
At the last Dao Network pillar, there are no longer resisting members of the Immortal Hunt.
Silence pervades, with only the Nameless Pillar holding the surrounding collapsing Dao Strings.
Once this final pillar is removed, the Shuo Star Sea Road Network will cease to exist from today onwards.
Li Buren applies the same technique, using the Infinite Sky Rod to break through, dismantling the last line of defense of the Dao Network.
A gaunt figure appears before him.
Seemingly subjected to unimaginable torture, or perhaps imprisoned the longest.
This last Nameless sits cross-legged, head bowed, in ragged clothing.
Compared to the previous three, appearing indescribably miserable.
Li Buren even feels that the Dao extracted from him by the Shuo Star Sea Road Network is more than the other three Nameless combined.
Alone, he seems to bear the total pressure of all the other Dao Network pillars!
Covered in dense Dao Strings, he looks terrifyingly horrific!
"Do you recognize him?"
Li Buren suddenly speaks, asking the two Nameless behind him.
Chaos and Benevolent Transformation carefully discern, both sighing and shaking their heads slightly.
"The Immortal World is vast and boundless, and the Nameless who have proven the Tao are countless. It is only natural that we do not all know each other," Benevolent Transformation explains.
Hearing this, Li Buren contemplates while scrutinizing the prisoner in front of him, not rushing to rescue him.
With his current degree of enlightenment of the Tao, he can ascertain the background of the previous three Nameless at a glance.
Wealth, Yan Jian, Bu Yan...
Although these Daos are integrated with the Nameless, they have not themselves transcended, naturally leaving some traces in the world. It is from these traces that Li Fan can glimpse these Dao paths.
But this person in front of him is in Li Buren's blind spot.
A completely unfamiliar, unknown Dao path.
"Could it be from another possibility? Or..."
Though doubting in his heart, with two Supreme Treasures in hand, Li Buren felt no great fear.
Only cautiously, he again swings the Infinite Sky Rod down.
The remaining Dao Strings entangling this final prisoner dissolve one by one.
