Chapter 1118: Heavenly Sovereign Puppet Master

Chapter 1033: The Eastern Extremity Heavenly Sovereign

Although it was merely an formation that Li Fan had just deduced, it was custom-tailored for the people of the Spiritwood Realm. With the Tianyang Immortal Puppet as its core, relying on its Longevity Immortal realm defensive capabilities, it could maximize the combat power of everyone else.

This formation also had an effect similar to the Soul-Ignition Method, capable of fully awakening the potential of the cultivators within it in a short time. Though it came at the cost of burning their divine souls. Before withdrawing the formation, the Holy Embryo Li Fan cast a final glance at the Spiritwood Realm.

"The next life will be better."

Then, without the slightest reluctance, he led everyone in charging out of the Spiritwood Realm. They had originally expected to encounter a tight encirclement by the heavy forces of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. However, to Li Fan and the others' surprise, the void outside the Spiritwood Realm was completely empty!

Yet strangely, the sensation of being constantly monitored that lingered in everyone's hearts persisted!

"Be careful!" Daoist Hundred Flowers was the first to issue a warning. Her face was ashen, and cold sweat actually beaded on her forehead. Even when facing Li Fan's coercion before, she had never appeared so disheveled and distraught.

Because what she had sensed from Li Fan back then was merely pure killing intent. But now... "Pure malice..."

Liu Ruchen from the Medicine King Sect and the others also tensed up as if facing a formidable enemy. Although the path ahead appeared utterly void, with no one guarding it, they all simultaneously halted their charge. Including the leading Li Fan.

Because their instincts told them that charging forward would mean death. It was as if they had been targeted by a natural predator; everyone's bodies stiffened, not daring to move recklessly. At that moment, Tianyang's voice transmitted into Li Fan's ear: "Ahead. Longevity Immortal realm. Strange."

It was brief and grave. To the Holy Embryo Li Fan, it struck like thunder. "Longevity Immortal realm?" "The Immortal Ancestor has arrived?"

His heart felt as if it were gripped tightly, and even the true body of Li Fan, concealed in the Nether Prison, had his aura thrown into slight disarray.

"Of course. The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had long known about the existence of Longevity Immortal realm cultivators in the Federation of All Worlds. After the initial probes, they naturally would not continue pointless sacrifices but would deploy decisive force to settle it in one stroke."

"But... To avenge a few Dharma-Transmitters, He would personally intervene? That would be too degrading, wouldn't it?"

Li Fan was clearly caught off guard by the appearance of the Immortal Ancestor. But immediately after, various doubts arose in his mind. From the Immortal Ancestor's previous attitude toward the Dharma-Transmitters, it was clear that He viewed them merely as tools. Perhaps there was some special regard for Transmitter Jiang, but the other Dharma-Transmitters were no different in His eyes from ordinary cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Would the Immortal Ancestor personally descend to conquer for the sake of just three Dharma-Transmitters? Li Fan naturally did not believe it. Moreover, Li Fan had once felt the Immortal Ancestor's vast and majestic power. His aura was sacred and boundless, immeasurable in depth. It had absolutely no connection to the "malice" now surrounding them!

"It is not the Dharma-Transmitter. Then who could it be?"

The Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns of the Xuanhuang Realm number only a few. Excluding the five Heavenly Sovereigns of the Five Elders Association, it could not be the recently ascended Rebirth. In a flash of rapid thoughts, a name buried deep in his memories, nearly forgotten, suddenly surfaced in Li Fan's mind: The Eastern Extremity Heavenly Sovereign!

Records of the Eastern Extremity Heavenly Sovereign, even after scouring all the texts of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, amount to only a scant few lines. His life story seems deliberately erased; the only known fact is that the Body-Purifying Spiritual Pool, used by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance today to cleanse mortals of the Immortal-mortal Miasma, was his invention.

Beyond that, nothing else remains. A generation's Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, and the only one in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance besides the Immortal Ancestor. To receive such treatment is truly bizarre and unimaginable. If it was not by his own request, then the events that befell him are profoundly thought-provoking.

Moreover, all Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns of the Xuanhuang Realm are named for their defying principles and paths. Only this Eastern Extremity (Dongji) seems to be merely his name.

In moments, countless thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind. Meanwhile, the malicious intents lurking around launched attacks on the Spiritwood Realm group. The might of a Heavenly Sovereign is truly unlike that of ordinary cultivators.

The Tianyang Immortal Puppet, whose body originally emanated pure white light, suddenly seemed tainted by an ominous aura. The light flickered unsteadily; Tianyang's expression turned grave, as if wrestling with that aura. Black spots appeared sporadically on the puppet's surface, east here, west there.

The assault of the evil aura bypassed the protection of Li Fan's formations, striking everyone in the Spiritwood Realm simultaneously. Not everyone possesses the capital to contend with a Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign. In the blink of an eye, they were eroded.

Li Fan also witnessed the fate of those fully corrupted by the evil aura. Their pupils vanished, leaving their eye sockets pitch black. In the same instant, they turned on their companions with attacks, clearly having lost all sense of self.

Almost immediately, the Spiritwood Realm team descended into chaos, showing signs of collapse. Yet the enemy hidden in the darkness still did not reveal itself.

"Is this the true power of a Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign?" "Defeat is acceptable. But to not even glimpse his true face..."

Amid the turmoil, Li Fan's expression showed no fluctuation; he merely looked toward Tianyang. A blinding crimson suddenly surged from within Tianyang. Like the great sun in the sky, it illuminated the surrounding pitch-black space.

"Tianyang's life... Is not inferior to any!"

The Tianyang Immortal Puppet's body expanded a hundred millionfold in an instant. Like a flame giant from the dawn of creation, it stood tall in the dark void. Rings of crimson flames erupted from his body, spreading ceaselessly outward to incinerate the entire space to ashes.

Under the scorching of Tianyang's fierce flames, the Spiritwood Realm allies remained unscathed. The cultivators eroded by the evil aura turned to black ash amid eerie, piercing shrieks. And the culprit that had always lurked in the darkness was finally forced to reveal its form!

The scene before him made the Holy Embryo Li Fan narrow his eyes slightly. A tall, naked man stood in midair. His black hair reached his ankles; his body was etched with black patterns that emanated evil auras.

Behind the naked man, faint threads could be seen emerging from the void, burrowing deep into his body. The naked man's eyes were pitch black, his face expressionless. Just like those cultivators whose minds had been controlled.

"A Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, turned into a marionette..."

This bizarre sight sent an uncontrollable chill through the hearts of the Spiritwood Realm group. Li Fan, in particular, drew in a sharp breath.

"This is... The mysteriously vanished Eastern Extremity Heavenly Sovereign, reduced to this state?" "Though not dead, it is a fate worse than death... Who did this?"

"The Dharma-Transmitters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance surely lack the ability. The only possibility is the Immortal Ancestor himself!"

In the Nether Prison, Li Fan's true self unconsciously clenched his fist.
