My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1205: Breaking Through Star Sea Path with Force

"Dissecting and scrutinizing the remnants of these worlds remains the only viable path. From them, one might yet deduce and restore the Darkest Star Sea's form during its living days."

"Still, this entity far surpasses the standard cultivation worlds of the Xuanhuang Realm by multiple tiers. Even its corpse promises vast rewards."

Holy Embryo Li Fan's aura suddenly shifted dramatically.

Like molten lava bursting out, it exploded wildly. Already at the Soul Transformation peak, his presence ballooned several times in a flash.

Regrettably, the Holy Embryo couldn't break free from the clone-main body restriction.

An unseen chain seemed to yank the raging aura back forcefully.

Holy Embryo Li Fan uttered a stifled grunt and coughed up a gush of blood.

In the small world formed by the Black Sword inside him, endless black cracks emerged, teetering on total collapse.

But Holy Embryo Li Fan's eyes blazed with fierce exhilaration.

"Indeed, within this Darkest Star Sea, a clone can exceed the main body's cultivation realm!"

Holy Embryo Li Fan relished that brief, explosive rush.

It felt like a savage, immense power smashing the heavenly shackles apart.

"The push for my breakthrough fell just short. It crumbled midway, hitting me with backlash."

"A touch more accumulation, and I could've charged straight through, shattering that barrier outright."

Li Fan abruptly remembered his clone's prior feat: cultivating the Heaven-Devouring Earth-Swallowing Great Method to brute-force past the [Calamity of Heaven].

"This is known as breaking the Dao with force. In a typical vast world, without True Immortal might, such raw power stays out of reach. Yet the Darkest Star Sea's broken heavens and lacking earth slash those demands dramatically."

"Before, after my clone smashed the Calamity of Heaven bottleneck by force, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao retaliated with that massive palm. But here in the Darkest Star Sea, even such a backlash might never come."

Holy Embryo Li Fan mirrored the sudden enlightenment and thrill Zhao Xian had felt earlier.

"From one to ten thousand. If this core Dao principle can shatter, what about the rest?"

"One whale's fall births myriad lives. The Star Sea's demise could spell a once-in-billions-of-years mega-opportunity for surviving cultivators."

"The Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor's power, dwarfing regular cultivators, arises not just from all Xuanhuang new method cultivators as his base, but likely ties deeply to this too."

"After ten thousand years in the Star Sea, he's probably on the cusp of true Immortal status."

...

The Holy Embryo's realizations in the Darkest Star Sea jolted Li Fan's main body profoundly.

Learning the Star Sea's flawed heavens and barren earth actually aided cultivation by defying the Dao made even his aura flicker faintly.

This caught the eye of the two Dao Integration elders, Hua Yueye and Zhang Xu.

"Fellow Daoist Sun?"

"Nothing serious. I just recalled my gentle wife back home, and my thoughts drifted." Li Fan replied, a bit sheepishly.

The two protectors shared odd glances and nodded knowingly.

Forcing his mind back to calm, Li Fan's main body quelled the impulse to flee the Xuanhuang Realm at once.

"Opportunity and peril always entwine."

"The Darkest Star Sea now serves as a cultivation paradise for cultivators, yet it brims with deadly hazards too."

"Without the heavenly wonder foundation for the Holy Embryo, it would've died en route long ago. Against the Star Sea's bizarre horrors, even my Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven world wouldn't endure."

The shadowy voids in the pitch-black void, the lethal black plagues...

None of them lay within the current Li Fan's power to counter.

"Drawing on the Holy Embryo's insights works the same way."

Li Fan could only reassure himself thus.

"Those sixteen Dao Integration cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, once they exit the Xuanhuang Realm, ought to uncover this secret bit by bit."

"I wonder if any will make it back alive."

Li Fan harbored grim doubts about their survival.

To the Immortal Ancestor, Xuanhuang Realm cultivators were mere pawns.

This call to action likely shared that doomed role.

"Still, I can seek a covert way to escape the Xuanhuang Realm sans Echoing Star Power."

"Echoing Star Power's emergence this lifetime was sheer luck. No assurance it repeats. Now aware of the Darkest Star Sea's value, how could I skip it?"

"Even if this timing stays top-secret now, in a few decades—or when the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi endangers the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and war erupts—such intel won't stay locked tight and will prove easy to glean."

...

Despite his words, Li Fan kept unblinking watch on those sixteen figures.

Via the mini Tianxuan Mirror, the Sun family clone had solidified its body. As the clone's power rebounded, Sun Luyao in the Boundless Mirror surged stronger daily, her merge with it deepening steadily.

On this day, spying through the Tianxuan Mirror, Sun Luyao gathered her nerve and spoke to Li Fan: "Senior, I seem to have sensed the location
