My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1148: Single-Handedly Suppressing the Demonic Tide

"Would you be willing to join me?"

Li Fan's voice boomed like thunder, slicing through the white fog and briefly silencing the screams rising from the Chizha Abyss, while it echoed ceaselessly across the Eternal Immortal Fortress.

Sensing the numerous stares from the Qingxuan Army fixed on him, Shang Shaojun's hesitant posture grew firm.

His actual appearance revealed itself.

Dressed in a billowing blue robe, his lean and towering body stood straight. A keen spark ignited in his gaze as Shang Shaojun fixed his eyes on Li Fan: "Fellow Daoist, you appear excessively assured. Your blade might be keen, yet it could falter against the horrifying rush of the demonic sound tide. And you still fantasize about forever sealing the abyss…"

"How can we tell without an attempt? I understand now, Shaojun, that endless years watching over the abyss have eroded your boldness!" Holy Embryo Li Fan shot back without retreat, confronting him directly.

"Hmph, empty talk."

In a flash, it felt like myriad phantoms sprang up around Shang Shaojun. He seemed to merge with this shadowy wave, hiding inside it, poised to deliver a deadly attack whenever the chance arose.

At the same time, Holy Embryo Li Fan sensed himself encircled by a legion of thousands, even hallucinating a solitary stand against the Chizha Abyss.

Back when Li Fan lingered at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had directly faced the dread of the abyss's demonic sound.

Currently, Shang Shaojun resembled a mobile abyss, set to release a demonic sound tide without warning!

Over Holy Embryo Li Fan's head, a simple, undecorated black longsword abruptly appeared.

Its point aimed straight at Shang Shaojun.

Even as myriad demonic sounds assaulted, the instant the sword targeted him, a subtle warning stirred in Shang Shaojun's core.

It was like glimpsing, past the dark blade, innumerable other blades plummeting from the heavens, all directed at him!

"From where does this master hail…"

Shang Shaojun's mind weighed down.

The pair confronted each other in the emptiness, a clash about to ignite.

During this pivotal instant, an odd ripple emanated from close by.

Initially, it was a soft whisper, akin to the biting slice of fall gales.

Next, it swelled like the swift thuds of charging steeds, bursting forth like an abrupt tempest.

It echoed the shrieks of countless spirits from boundless underworlds or the hopeless laments resounding in a realm teetering on ruin.

The white fog surged, twisting without pause.

The Broken Palm Immortal City, resembling a tiny vessel amid vast waters, shook fiercely, on the brink of shattering!

"The demonic sound tide!"

Likely triggered by the restraint from Li Fan's earlier sword glow, the abyss's might had retaliated with greater force.

On this occasion, the ferocity and magnitude of the demonic sound tide surpassed all prior waves by far.

The Eternal Immortal Fortress, squarely in the tide's path, looked like a fragile leaf on a twig, ready to scatter at any second!

Shang Shaojun's face twisted in alarm. Ignoring Li Fan completely, his form flickered as he dashed back to the Broken Palm Immortal City.

With Shang Shaojun defending the position, the Azure Light shimmering ring spun wildly, allowing the Eternal Immortal Fortress to slowly steady itself against the Demonic Sound Tide.

While the Qingxuan Army troops were still recovering from the fright, they abruptly noticed with dread that Li Fan, whom they believed had been swallowed by the Demonic Sound Tide, remained calmly positioned in the void.

Despite the demonic sounds howling nearby and the white fog swirling chaotically.

He stood completely unshaken.

Then, Li Fan performed an act beyond anyone's expectation.

He wandered casually, like on a relaxed stroll, toward the edges of Broken Palm Immortal City.

Confronting the boundless Chizha Abyss, Li Fan settled into a cross-legged seat.

A jet-black longsword manifested exactly under him right then.

Li Fan bent his right finger and gently struck the sword's surface.

"Ding!"

The clear tone pealed, cutting distinctly even through the chaotic roar of demonic sounds!

The sword's vibration resounded as innumerable varied sword phantoms sprang up instantly behind Li Fan.

The sword phantoms extended without limit, forming a vast barrier, shielding the path ahead of Broken Palm Immortal City.

Ten thousand swords rose like a woodland, every one aimed at the abyss!

"The demonic sounds invade the soul, but he shows no effect at all! How exactly does he manage this?"

"He sits directly before the city; what scheme is this?"

This astonishing sight rendered the million Qingxuan Army troops completely stunned.

Even Shang Shaojun suddenly stood up, staring from a distance at Li Fan's figure beyond the city.

If the massive demonic sound tide was an infinite, crashing, and fiercely turbulent sea surge.

Then Li Fan in this instant became a colossal rock steadfast by the shore,

Steady and unyielding from every angle.

No matter how the demonic sounds battered, they failed to touch him even a bit.

And Li Fan's performance was merely starting.

"Go!"

Facing the immense tide, Li Fan issued a quiet order.

From the immense barrier of countless sword phantoms at his back, a single sword launched forward in a blink.

Just as with the earth-shattering sword beam Li Fan had released before, it hurtled directly into the Demonic Sound Great Tide with a shrill cry.

Against the onrushing Demonic Sound Tide, the sword beam slowly faded.

But the Qingxuan Army warriors within Broken Palm Immortal City could plainly sense that the tide's strength had lessened slightly due to that sword beam!

"Could it possibly..."

An idea sprang unbidden into their thoughts.

The forms of all in the immortal city quivered faintly.

Afterward, a spectacle they would etch forever in memory played out.

Myriad flying swords surged ahead in sequence, devoting themselves to the Chizha Abyss.

Countless sword beams blazed one after another, flooding the Eternal Immortal Fortress with light.

Every impact reduced the Demonic Sound Tide by a portion.

The frightful cries ringing in their ears also slowly weakened and slackened.

The enormous immortal city plunged into complete hush.

All observed Li Fan's silhouette in silent awe.

No space for other notions.

Like a torrent of rain at last easing, parting the clouds to reveal clear heavens.

Beyond the immortal city, the demonic sounds vanished completely.

Still, the sword beams trailing Li Fan persisted in plenty.

Limitless and tireless, perpetual and ceaseless.

"That lord..."

"Maybe his earlier claim of forever quelling the abyss isn't out of reach."

This notion arose together in the Qingxuan Army troops' minds.

With his back toward Broken Palm Immortal City, Li Fan stayed seated.

The Qingxuan Army troops appeared rooted in place too, unwilling to stir.

"The sword halted the Demonic Sound Tide, and the Xuanhuang Sword Dao's acknowledgment of me has intensified greatly."

The Holy Embryo clone of Li Fan was truly detecting the shifts happening inside him.

"Indeed, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao naturally rejects these [alien entities]. Should one harmonize with heaven's will, one gains the Heavenly Dao's fitting blessing."

Amid these reflections, Li Fan rose gradually and turned, glancing at the myriad cultivators within the Eternal Immortal Fortress.

He grinned and inquired: "Does Lord Shang still view me as presumptuous?"

The immortal city hung in utter silence.

Shortly after, Shang Shaojun's form materialized once more in front of Li Fan.

He inclined slightly and stated with genuine respect: "I erred."

"Your prowess, fellow Daoist, stands unrivaled in this realm."

As he prepared to continue, Li Fan gestured dismissively, interrupting him.

"Then, Young Lord, will you join my journey?"

Li Fan posed the question again.

Witnessing this, Shang Shaojun clenched his jaw and answered resignedly: "Very well, I will stake my life to follow this noble one!"

With Shang Shaojun's declaration, a thunderous roar of joy exploded from inside Broken Palm Immortal City.
