Having clarified the reason for the pursuit, Li Fan didn’t immediately choose to submit.
As he observed the sturdy red-haired man above him, a dangerous glint flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
“I thought that the one coming to kill me would be a Soul Transformation cultivator.”
“Unexpectedly, while I was just waiting here, I got a Nascent Soul cultivator instead.”
“I’ve cultivated for a hundred years and never had a formal battle with anyone.”
“It’s the perfect timing to test everything I’ve learned on you.”
Seeing Li Fan standing still, the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator became impatient.
“Surrender the Minor Medicine King Cauldron, and I might spare your life!”
He shouted again.
If it weren’t for the concern that attacking might damage the storage ring, potentially causing the loss of the Minor Medicine King Cauldron, he probably would have slapped this small Foundation Establishment cultivator to death already.
“Is this the Minor Medicine King Cauldron you’re talking about, Senior?” Li Fan revealed a flattering smile and then took a small cauldron out of his storage ring, holding it in his hand.
The eyes of the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator lit up. “Yes! Yes! That’s it! You’re quite sensible, little guy!”
Watching the Minor Medicine King Cauldron flying towards him, he was satisfied.
He reached out to grab the small cauldron, but before he could be happy about it, a storage ring suddenly appeared from the cauldron.
Immediately after, a large mass of white mist, entangled with golden threads, appeared next to the red-haired Nascent Soul.
“Boom!”
The mist exploded as hundreds of runes burst into fragments.
A tremendous destructive force erupted.
Following that, the cloud formed by the Devouring White Mist enveloped the red-haired Nascent Soul.
“You bastard!”
He roared in anger, and the Devouring White Mist was instantly blown away.
The Nascent Soul revealed himself again, and the Minor Medicine King Cauldron had already been put away.
There seemed to be no injuries, just a slightly trembling hand, indicating that Li Fan’s attack was not entirely useless.
“You’re looking for…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the red-haired Nascent Soul was instantly enveloped by several arrays.
His breath stagnated, and then he saw the world seemingly light up.
A vast blue ocean suddenly appeared in the sky.
A bright blue sword light, with an unmatched aura, flew out from the ocean and slashed towards him.
Li Fan’s first move was unexpectedly his strongest move at the moment.
The Cong Yun Sea Sword.
“Earthly Treasure?!”
The red-haired Nascent Soul exclaimed, then looked at Li Fan with greedy eyes.
The ground cracked and the sky darkened.
A volcano rose up, blocking the path of the sword light.
The volcano was not like the illusory image of the ocean but instead a tangible object.
The surroundings became scorching hot as magma surged out from the cracked ground.
The blue sword light dimmed slightly but still pierced through the volcano, slashing towards the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator.
A trace of seriousness flashed across the Nascent Soul cultivator’s face; he felt that he couldn’t avoid this blue sword light.
He could only face it head-on.
But the sword light unleashed by this Foundation Establishment cultivator actually posed a lethal threat to him.
What kind of sword technique was this?
In the split second of contemplation, flames emerged on the Nascent Soul cultivator’s body.
The flames were like swords and collided with the blue sword light.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
The blue sword light gathered and retracted in an instant, forming only a thin blue line.
This thin line separated the flames and quickly wound around the Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul was slightly stunned, then saw the opponent utter a light shout.
“Cong Yun Sea Twenty-Eight Swords!”
In the ocean silhouette, another 27 sword lights appeared and flew towards him.
Simultaneously, all the arrays erupted.
Five Elements Sword Qi attacked him.
The roar of a mythical beast shook his mind.
The Nascent Soul felt that there was a slight gap between his physical body and his dantian.
Unbeknownst to him, another blue phantom suddenly appeared, causing the temperature around the volcano to drop instantly.
The blue phantom silently flew to the side of the Nascent Soul cultivator and gently pressed its hand.
Along with the 27 Cong Yun Sea Swords striking the Nascent Soul, all the arrays also erupted.
In an instant from the first Cong Yun Sea Sword to the remaining 27 sword lights slashing the Nascent Soul, it was just a moment.
The Nascent Soul cultivator’s face was full of astonishment.
Cracks appeared on his body.
His shattered body became stiff and cold.
A gentle breeze blew.
Then, like a shattered ice sculpture, it turned into countless tiny fragments and fell to the ground.
The Nascent Soul cultivator’s body was shattered.
But there was no trace of triumph on Li Fan’s face.
Because the volcano confronting the Cong Yun Sea still existed.
It even became more violent.
“Good!”
“Very good!”
“With Foundation Establishment cultivation, you’ve destroyed my physical body! You can be proud of yourself!”
“Unfortunately, you, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, won’t understand how terrifying the Nascent Soul realm is!”
The voice of the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator resounded again.
Beneath his calm tone, there was an endless fury.
“As long as my nascent soul isn’t annihilated, I won’t die!”
Behind the volcano, a baby’s phantom slowly appeared.
It clung to the volcano like a parasite, arching its tiny body, and attached itself to the volcano.
“Don’t even think about dying easily!”
“I will torture you with the cruelest methods to vent my hatred!”
In the resentful voice of the baby, the originally destroyed body of the Nascent Soul cultivator unexpectedly showed signs of reforming.
Li Fan saw that the energy of the volcano was slowly absorbed by the baby.
Then, the baby’s body, wriggling flesh and blood, appeared out of nowhere.
Like weaving a coat.
The human shell was slowly taking shape.
“As long as the nascent soul isn’t destroyed, the cultivator does not die.” Li Fan looked at the scene before him, contemplating.
Using all his means, catching the opponent off guard, only destroyed one physical body.
After recovery, he would be the one dead.
“As expected, challenging cultivators across realms is not an easy task.”
“However…”
Li Fan’s eyes flashed.
His aura suddenly erupted, and Li Fan had no reservations at this moment.
“I still have one last move. Please enlighten me, Senior!”
The Explosive Law Formation operated to its extreme, on the verge of collapse at any moment.
Bearing the far-overloaded energy, Li Fan’s body was disintegrating inch by inch.
His lower limbs gradually disappeared, leaving only the upper torso remaining.
At this moment, Li Fan, fearless of life and death, unleashed the Sea Covering Palm that he comprehended from the ancient Dao resonance.
His right hand swung out, seemingly ordinary.
In the moment just before the Sea Covering Palm took shape,
Between life and death, Li Fan suddenly had an enlightenment.
Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei observed the Sea Covering Palm, each having their own insights.
Xiao Heng’s palm technique was elusive and unpredictable.
Su Xiaomei’s palm technique, on the other hand, was unparalleled in dominance, suppressing all things.
However, Li Fan had always only mastered the form, unable to embody his own true meaning.
Always lacking that tiny bit.
For several years, there had been no progress.
But now, facing a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with only Foundation Establishment cultivation, Li Fan, fearless of life and death, unafraid of the gap in realms, decisively struck out with the Sea Covering Palm.
At that moment, he suddenly comprehended the true meaning of his palm technique.
That is…
Defiance!
So what if it’s a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?
In two lifetimes, practicing cultivation for a hundred years, with countless secrets in my possession.
Moreover, using several outstanding talents as pawns, deducing divine techniques.
Killing enemies across two realms, what the ancient prodigies did, can’t I?
Li Fan’s body dispersed with the wind, but his eyes became brighter.
He laughed loudly, “Today, with your life, assist me in attaining mastery!”
The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator sneered, “Brazen words…”
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly found his head enveloped by ominous clouds.
“It appears to be Sea Covering.”
“But in reality, it is…”
“Heaven Overturning!”
A giant hand that could not be seen in its entirety descended from the sky, pressing down forcefully.
“Boom!”
The volcano, along with the attached nascent soul, turned into powder in an instant.
In the high sky, the announcement of the Nascent Soul cultivator’s fall suddenly occurred.
But Li Fan paid no attention.
His body disintegrated, leaving only half a head.
Before consciousness faded away, Li Fan silently recited, “Truth!”
