Chapter 839: Dao Integration—Ink Stone Sage

At this critical moment, Li Fan pushed the Mutated Xuantian Spirit-Sealing Formation to its limits.

With the combined efforts of the three, Ink Stone’s seemingly impenetrable defense, akin to a wall of despair, finally showed a slight crack.

Tianyang and Lin Ling seized the opportunity, breaking free from the encirclement with all their might.

Countless fragments of Ink Stone ultimately fused back together.

Scanning the surroundings, Ink Stone found no trace of Tianyang and Lin Ling, who had temporarily hidden away to recover.

After a brief pause, Ink Stone made another move.

Having unleashed two consecutive full-power attacks, it's strength had already been considerably weakened.

Yet, this new strike still exceeded the expectations of the three present.

Ink Stone’s body began to dissolve.

An endless stream of black liquid seeped from it's form, spreading in all directions.

The flow accelerated, seemingly infinite in supply.

Before long, the liquid had filled a vast expanse around them—without any sign of stopping.

The black tide surged like a monstrous wave, roaring as if it sought to engulf the entire underground space!

"We can’t wait any longer. We have to fight him head-on!"

Li Fan spoke in a deep voice to Tianyang and Lin Ling, who had regained some of their strength.

Once again, Tianyang took the lead.

Transforming into a blazing stream of fire, he charged forward without hesitation, spearheading the assault against the dark sea ahead.

Li Fan could see that Tianyang was fighting with reckless abandon—burning his puppet body as the price for temporarily elevating his power to the Dao Integration level.

Victory or death—there was no other option.

Seeing this, Lin Ling clenched her teeth and rushed forward as well.

Within the underground space, a towering illusory tree began to emerge.

Its shadow swayed gently, sending out countless leaves.

In an instant, the leaves transformed into thousands of green laser beams, slicing through the black ocean.

At the same time, numerous roots extended outward—some burrowing into the boundless black water.

The dark sea churned violently, attempting to devour the roots, but for the moment, it failed.

Other roots pierced through space itself, reaching into Tianyang’s body.

The crimson flames surrounding Tianyang instantly intensified, burning several times brighter.

For the first time, the blazing red fire gained the upper hand against the surging black liquid.

"These two… Their teamwork is truly impressive."

Li Fan nodded silently in approval.

He refined the formation he had derived from the Final Dissociation Disc, further weakening Ink Stone.

Meanwhile, Tianyang fought more fiercely, growing stronger with each clash.

Gradually, in the underground space, the territory claimed by Tianyang’s crimson fire surpassed that of the black ocean.

Li Fan knew—victory was now only a matter of time.

For seven whole days, Ink Stone had nowhere left to run.

At last, exhausted and trapped, he was worn down and slain by Li Fan, Tianyang, and Lin Ling.

The flames that had engulfed the entire underground space suddenly withdrew, coalescing into a vague human figure.

Though victorious, it was a bitter battle. Tianyang’s puppet body had been completely consumed in the process.

Originally, when the flames were extinguished, Tianyang was meant to fall as well.

However, with the nourishment of the "Spirit of Heaven and Earth," things were different.

A continuously flowing mass of black liquid was extracted by Tianyang.

In that moment, greed surged in Li Fan’s heart.

Even Lin Ling—despite having reached the Dao Integration realm—showed subtle fluctuations in her gaze.

Fortunately, Li Fan had the Immortal Heart Mantra to protect his mind.

As for Lin Ling, having been born not long ago, she remained relatively pure. Being a spirit tree, her desires were not particularly strong to begin with.

Thus, no one made any reckless moves; they merely watched Tianyang in silence as he absorbed the flowing mass of inky-black liquid into his flame-clad body.

In an instant, it was as if his body had been infused with ink.

Tianyang's once fiery red form transformed into an interwoven mix of crimson and black.

Moreover, compared to before, the black now occupied an even greater portion of his body.

The red was reduced to mere thin lines, resembling intricate tattoos, etched across Tianyang’s figure.

A powerful and oppressive aura suddenly erupted from Tianyang, spreading in all directions.

Lin Ling instinctively took a few steps back.

A new Dao Integration Immortal Sage had been born!

The surrounding void caves trembled slightly, showing signs of spreading outward.

After adapting to his new body, Tianyang withdrew his overwhelming aura with a mere wave of his hand, suppressing the chaotic disturbance in the countless void caves around him.

Once he had finished, Tianyang turned to look at Li Fan.

The inky-black hue gradually faded but did not disappear entirely. It merely darkened slightly.

Though his appearance was still somewhat unusual, at the very least, it now seemed more natural.

"Senior… Brother…"

"I… did it."

His voice still carried a strange tone, but compared to before, it now possessed a clearer sense of humanity.

"Good. Well done!"

After enduring numerous trials, Tianyang had finally stepped into the Dao Integration realm.

Li Fan, now having another Dao Integration powerhouse at his side, felt great satisfaction.

"Repair the void caves here to some extent. Consider it practice for your newfound abilities," Li Fan instructed as he withdrew the sealing formation.

Tianyang nodded without hesitation.

Using the divine abilities inherited from the Ink Stone, he began mending the severely damaged underground void caves.

His efficiency was clearly far superior to Ink Stone’s.

Once Li Fan had erased all traces of their presence and observed for a while, he finally called a stop.

"If the remaining void caves here were to erupt all at once, what kind of consequences would that cause?" Li Fan asked as he scanned the area with his spiritual sense.

His mastery over spatial abilities had vastly improved, now far beyond what it once was.

After entering the Dao Integration realm, Tianyang had also gradually regained some sense of normalcy.

After a moment of thought, he responded, "If I were to trigger the explosions sequentially, it would cause an entire prefecture’s land and rivers to tremble continuously."

"However, if I stagger the release of power and control the layers of energy properly, the land wouldn’t collapse all at once."

"It would simply sink down in unison."

"If I fine-tune my control even further, the people on the surface would only feel a sudden, intense tremor."

"The aftereffects would merely consist of ongoing tremors for some time."

"If cultivators arrive to assist, the disturbances could be completely stabilized within a few days."

Tianyang explained meticulously via voice transmission.

At first, his words were somewhat disjointed.

But as he continued speaking, he became increasingly fluent.

By the end, his speech was almost indistinguishable from that of a normal person.

Hearing this, Li Fan nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, after we leave, create a major commotion to draw the attention of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance."

"Make it look natural—don’t let them suspect anything," Li Fan instructed.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother," Tianyang replied with a nod.

Then, thin black threads emerged from his body, spreading throughout the underground space in an instant.

Each had its own role to play.

Some reduced the size of void caves.

Others expanded them.

Yet under Tianyang’s deliberate manipulation, what was once a chaotic and disorderly underground cave system began to exhibit an intricate, hidden pattern.

It took over a month before the final adjustments were completed.

"Senior Brother, we can leave now."

"Tianyang’s talent is truly remarkable. In such a short time, he has already mastered Ink Stone’s abilities to this degree."

Li Fan silently praised him in his heart.

The setup here was akin to a perfectly calibrated demolition.

Once Li Fan and the others departed…

The void caves began exploding one after another.
