Chapter 1266 Stealing the Power of Darkness
Li Fan had no choice but to temporarily stop driving the Infinite Mirror.
He continued to throw out a ball of source power essence, saving the Infinite Mirror spirit from the brink of death.
The wish power essence stored in his body was generated by the prayers of the 100 You clan members in the underground blood pool secret room of the Sun family during this period.
He used up some of it to lure out the annihilation wind disaster lurking in the Infinite Mirror.
He used up some of it before to repair the injury of the Infinite Mirror and Li Fan's own split spirit.
There is not much left.
Li Fan estimated the speed of the source power essence consumption: "Just enough. No need to go back again."
"That's it..."
Li Fan inadvertently glanced at the center of this small world full of death.
It seems that the appearance of the source power essence has attracted the attention of the golden head hidden there. A rather strange illusion, as if being stared at by a monster, surged into his heart.
"Hmph, even if you had a great origin in your life, now you only have a skull left. You dare to act rashly in front of me..." Li Fan stood with his hands behind his back, and a trap was instantly generated when his mind moved slightly.
Lock the space where the golden head is and seal it.
"I'll trouble you in the next life."
Li Fan did not plan to find out the truth from the golden head this time.
It is urgent to find out the protective formation here, and then return to the Xuanhuang Realm and find the hidden traces of the protective formation by following the cause and effect.
Under the influence of the essence of the source power, Sun Luyao slowly woke up from the coma.
"Take a rest and continue."
However, Li Fan's light words made him feel like he was struck by lightning.
But he didn't dare to disobey at all.
Because Sun Luyao knew that the survival of the Wuliang Mirror was just a thought of Li Fan.
Even, it is not impossible to directly erase his mirror spirit and find other cultivators to replace it.
"Although this is painful for you, it is more of a kind of tempering. As the saying goes, iron is made of thousands of times of tempering, and steel is made of tens of thousands of times of tempering. You are just an ordinary person, but by chance, you have become the spirit of the Infinite Mirror. You have also seen the performance of the Infinite Mirror now. It will die immediately after analyzing anything. How can it be called an immortal weapon?"
"Even if there is a reason that the Infinite Mirror is damaged and not in its complete form, it is more due to your weak spirit." Li Fan said in a deep voice.
These words made Sun Luyao feel ashamed.
"This source of essence is something that even immortal cultivators can't get. Using it on you can be called a waste of natural resources. But I still did it..." Li Fan said in a faint tone.
"There is great terror between life and death, and there is also great opportunity between life and death. You should understand it well!"
As he said, Li Fan manipulated the Infinite Mirror again and analyzed the remnants of the formation hidden under the ruins of the world.
Sun Luyao only felt that he was weakening rapidly again, but with Li Fan's encouragement, he tried his best to cheer up and keep himself clear-headed.
"I must not let you down!"
Since he met Li Fan, scenes after scenes emerged in Sun Luyao's mind.
Li Fan's help along the way is beyond doubt, but Sun Luyao himself has never made any contribution. Now that he finally has the opportunity to repay, Sun Luyao is determined not to let Li Fan down.
Besides, Sun Luyao also knows that what Li Fan said is indeed true.
In the trials of life and death, his original consciousness is constantly getting stronger. The growth in these few days is better than the decades of hiding in the secret room of the Sun family.
In Sun Luyao's excitement, the faint light that was originally a little shaken became stable again.
Li Fan looked at it and nodded slightly.
...
The Holy Dynasty is about to start.
Li Ping, sitting in the Holy Emperor's throne, has completed the replication and implantation of ten groups of Xuanhuang Tiandao aura.
However, due to the long-term uninterrupted work, Mao Bao's mood was somewhat broken and he had completely gone on strike.
Even if there were more source essences to lure him, Mao Bao would just pretend not to see it and sleep soundly.
The Holy Emperor had no choice but to pause.
He looked in the direction of the four central states of the Ten Thousand Immortals League.
"Is the rainbow light of the Ten Thousand Immortals League ready?"
Because of the previous harvest of the true meaning of the origin of the star sea, the Xuanhuang Realm Heavenly Dao consciousness, which had tasted the marrow and tasted the taste, became restless. Instinctively wanted to attach to it again and take a ride.
But Li Ping dissuaded him.
The premonition in the Holy Emperor's heart told him that the trip of the Ten Thousand Immortals League would never be as smooth as his previous one.
In addition to the Holy Emperor's foresight of the dangers on the road, the Ten Thousand Immortals League could not imitate it at all. The more important reason is that the members of the Immortal League's exploration of the star sea this time are all composed of Hedao monks. But they do not have the strength to truly convince and suppress them.
Although in Xuanhuang Realm and Wanxian League, people talk according to their positions. But in the sea of stars, especially in desperate situations, it is hard to say who listens to whom.
"Lan Yu from Daoyuan Prefecture."
"Jin Ri from Liuguang Prefecture."
...
The list of Hedao monks going forward this time is not a secret.
The Holy Emperor looked at these names and sighed slightly in his heart.
"The death of dozens of Hedao monks is undoubtedly a good thing for Xuanhuang Tiandao and the Holy Dynasty."
"It's just a pity..."
Although he felt sorry, the Holy Emperor would never be soft-hearted and come forward to stop this.
He just waited for them to leave.
Besides, maybe there are really some of them who are very lucky. Who can survive in the sea of stars with many crises and finally succeed in enlightenment?
Even if the Holy Emperor stopped them, he would only be regarded as an obstacle to others' path, and the situation would never end.
Five days later, a seven-color rainbow light slowly flew out of the sky under the gaze of all the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Compared with the last time, this time seemed to be much more familiar.
The different colors separated one by one, and finally disappeared into a dark sea of stars.
Li Ping watched them leave and mourned for them in his heart for a moment.
Seven days later, the Holy Emperor's expression moved.
He flashed to the secret space where the You people lived.
Now under the rule of the Holy Dynasty, the You people can be roughly divided into three groups with different missions.
Among them, the largest number of people are those who, from birth to death, the only thing they need and must do every day is to praise the grace of the Holy Emperor. This group of people was cultivated by integrating with strange beasts, and their lifespan and life cycle are extremely short. They are really like leeks, cut one after another, and they are endless.
And the second category, the medium-sized You people, their treatment is much better in comparison. There is plenty of rest time every day, and they can even read different books. As the original You clan, some of them will be selected to participate in the group optimization experiment.
As for the third category, the number is the smallest and the most special. They can be called the purest and original You clan, still believe in the great Dark Sea, and maintain the long-standing tradition. However, since they live under the rule of the Holy Dynasty, they naturally have to listen to Li Fan's orders. Even the clan has reached a unified opinion on who is greater, the Holy Emperor or the Dark Sea.
The Holy Emperor is the incarnation of the will of the Dark Sea. The Holy Emperor, the Dark Sea, and the ancestors of the You clan are a trinity and inseparable. Although the theory is a bit rough, it really solves the possible conflicts caused by Li Ping's interference, making the clan completely stable.
"Meet the Holy Emperor." The chief of the You clan knelt down and kowtowed when he saw Li Ping.
Before this, because Li Ping did not force it, these You clan members did not need to kneel when they saw him. However, since the birth of the new theory, various standard etiquettes have been born within the You Clan, and even the clan leader must abide by them. Li Ping followed them.
"Open the passage to the You Realm." Looking at the You Clan members kneeling on the ground below, Li Ping ordered in a cold voice.
The You Clan members stood up, and a door slowly opened in the mysterious and ancient ballads.
Li Ping flew into it first.
After entering, he was instantly swallowed by the endless darkness.
But Li Ping did not hesitate at all, and rushed in the direction of the induction.
Silently, getting closer and closer.
The object of the induction lock was naturally the mysterious skill that could increase the output of the cultivator's source power, which was revealed to the Wanxian League through the identity of the leader of the Lingyuan Sect.
In terms of squeezing, the efficiency of the Wanxian League is unexpectedly high.
Li Ping can already sense that a large amount of marked source power, in a condensed and compressed state, is rushing into this dark sea.
However, counterintuitively, such a majestic and terrifying energy can't even stir up the slightest energy ripple here.
It was unknown whether the Dark Sea itself was too vast, or whether something inside it swallowed up the ripples silently.
As the distance was very close, Li Ping could not help but slow down.
Even though he was absolutely confident in his own strength, he was still cautious.
He hid his body and sneaked in.
Boom!
Boom!
In the Dark Sea, which was supposed to be silent and could not transmit sound, regular intermittent muffled sounds appeared.
It was like the sound of a drum being hammered violently, which made the Saint Emperor's heart vibrate.
Li Ping became serious.
His blood and qi were now mixed like nature. Even the attack of the Immortal Realm might not be able to shake him. But now it was surging because of this simple muffled sound...
"It was not caused by external forces. It was the rhythm of the Dark Sea itself."
The Saint Emperor made a judgment soon.
Without resisting the muffled sound, Li Ping stood still for a moment, and perfectly matched the sound of his heartbeat with the rhythm of the Dark Sea.
As if completely blending into the darkness, his discomfort also disappeared.
Li Ping then continued to move forward.
Soon, he "saw" the source of the muffled sound.
Or rather, he sensed it.
It was like a punctured balloon, and it was like the great vortex of the cracked world in the Xuanhuang Realm.
A "small hole" appeared in the dark sea ahead.
The surging compressed source power was violently infused from this gap. Under the natural repulsion of the power of the dark sea itself, some of the dark power was absorbed along the channel formed by the confrontation between the two forces.
Li Ping stopped and watched from a distance, and his heart became more solemn.
"Coincident."
After a while, he gave such an evaluation.
The power of the dark sea and the compressed jet source power formed a perfect balance.
The source power did not really invade the dark sea, and similarly, the counterattack of the dark sea was not fully stimulated.
In the weird balance, the call of the source power and the dark power was achieved.
You know, the dark sea is fluctuating.
This means that the output of the source power of the Ten Thousand Immortals League must also change and adjust accordingly. If the equilibrium state is broken, the Dark Sea will instantly usher in a counterattack of turbulent waves.
The Ten Thousand Immortals League must have maintained this device for a long time, and it seems that the research on the Dark Sea has reached perfection.
"The Ten Thousand Immortals League has capable people."
Li Ping couldn't help but sigh.
After all, he has ruled half of the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years, so it is not surprising that he has such a trump card.
"Compared with the power of darkness that normally overflows into the Xuanhuang Realm, these extracted powers of darkness are more peaceful."
“It’s also easier to exploit.”
After watching again for a while, Li Ping also noticed the clues.
"I just don't know why the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance spends so much time extracting this peaceful power of darkness."
But the unknown does not hinder Li Ping's actions.
As the Sea of Darkness that maintains Xuanhuang's stability, it would definitely be an act of defiance for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to extract its power.
Li Ping is the "incarnation of Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao", so naturally he cannot just sit back and watch.
But he didn't do it easily.
First, because of this perfect balance, if it is broken rashly, the turmoil in the Sea of Darkness may be even higher.
Secondly, just to stop this extraction behavior is just to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
What Li Ping wants is a way to put an end to thieves in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance once and for all.
The Holy Emperor's patience was very abundant.
After observing here for more than a month, he first returned to the Holy Palace.
Bring nearly a hundred people from the original You tribe here.
"Asshole! What a blasphemy that is!"
The Holy Emperor could see the anger in the You clan leader's heart from his dancing performance.
The other orcs were filled with hatred when they saw the great sea of darkness they believed in being stolen by thieves.
If it weren't for Li Ping's cover-up, they would have been furious with such violent mood swings.
"This time, we are here to resolve the matter."
"Those who blaspheme must be punished."
Li Ping's thoughts were conveyed to the minds of the You clan people.
This group of You tribe people immediately knelt on the ground again, their faces full of determination to sacrifice their lives.
In a corner where the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was unaware, this group of You clan members began an ancient ritual.
That is the method passed down from ancient times to communicate with the Sea of Darkness.
What Li Ping wanted them to do was to arouse the attention of the source of this sea of darkness.
Although there is a lot of noise here, in fact, compared to the huge sea of darkness, it is just a small hole poked in the body.
Unless the balance is disturbed, no attention will be paid to it.
Therefore, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance can continuously steal the power of darkness.
But if there are rituals of the You tribe as a guide, everything will be hard to say.
Even if the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals is not immediately expelled, the sudden change in repulsive force is enough to break the balance.
And because it is the change of the Sea of Darkness itself, with this giant as its base, even a little turmoil is insignificant.
As the ceremony progressed, Li Ping felt the slightest ripples in the sea of darkness.
He instinctively tried his best to cover up his aura and hide it.
