My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1207: Immortal Calamity, Wind Obliterating Manifests
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
During his journey back, Sun Luyuan keenly perceived the agitated tremors from the Boundless Mirror clutched in his arms, together with the wild, familiar bellows of his younger brother Sun Luyao. He suppressed it with force until he arrived safely home, only then setting it free.
"Brother, hand it over fast! I can't endure it any longer!"
The mirror's surface quivered relentlessly. Sun Luyao's hazy black silhouette appeared relentlessly assailed by raging winds, warping and contorting.
"Settle down!"
Sun Luyuan issued a sharp command. With practiced ease, he dripped a bit of his essence blood, which calmed his brother's madness.
After that, he produced the mirror he had obtained from the Hundred Stones Winter ruins.
The matching aura of shared origin verified that this mirror's core was a shard of the Boundless Mirror. However, it had been remade into an independent treasure.
Sun Luyuan meticulously dismantled the lingering restrictions on the mirror, then flung it toward his brother.
Freed from its constraints, the darkness hungrily gathered over the mirror.
A ray of faint light shot from Sun Luyao's mouth, eroding this ancient artifact.
As the mirror slowly dissolved into the black glow, the Boundless Mirror bound to Sun Luyao—that worn and cracked relic—started transforming visibly.
Marks of time gradually receded. The ancient feel vanished, supplanted by an air of surviving endless trials and upheavals.
The Boundless Mirror's face occasionally rippled with a sheen that stirred dread in the heart.
Sun Luyuan himself sensed a faint chill creeping into his mind.
"This must be the power of an immortal artifact..." he mused inwardly, his anticipation building for his brother's emergence after finishing the absorption.
At the same time, the Boundless Mirror's actual owner—Li Fan's clone concealed inside—observed the mirror's changes far more intimately.
Or more precisely, its revival.
The previously flawed [Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form] array was steadily completing itself.
As though infused with a heart, a mysterious, subtle energy streamed forth softly, endlessly flowing from the array.
It revitalized the Boundless Mirror's ruined form.
This explained why outsiders saw the immortal artifact renew itself in moments.
Li Fan's clone also gained during this. It evolved from a simple clone toward a genuine soul shard.
Li Fan sensed that prolonged absorption from the Boundless Mirror like this could, over time, make this clone's divine soul surpass his main body's!
Remember, Li Fan had ascended to his present level gradually, with a foundation of utmost sturdiness.
Beyond the knowledge from countless rebirths, the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven and Xuanhuang Life-Death Transformative Phenomenon alone captured the Xuanhuang Realm's core secrets.
Yet atop this base, the Dao Integration peak could be rivaled by the power in this mere mirror fragment!
Even solely in divine soul strength, it profoundly stunned Li Fan.
He echoed Sun Luyuan's sigh: "So this is the might of an immortal artifact?"
The power churning in the Boundless Mirror was like law yet brimmed with life force.
But right as Li Fan believed it would fully mend the Boundless Mirror, the mirror abruptly plummeted to the floor uncontrollably.
Its surface cast out a swirl of light and shadow, blanketing the hidden underground chamber.
Images raced past in quick succession.
The visions of prophecy made both Sun Luyuan and Li Fan's hearts quake fiercely.
The serene Xuanhuang land drowned in war's inferno.
Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivators battled savagely against a mysterious foe.
Light arrows filled the skies endlessly. Each impact unleashed cataclysmic blasts.
A colossal golden giant grappled intensely with a black-haired, shirtless warrior, their fight inseparable.
Their clashes warped and cracked the white mist wall separating heaven and earth.
Even more chilling was a figure in black imperial robes amid the chaos, his features veiled.
He dominated all others in stature.
Facing him was another vague shadow.
Boom!
As if hitting its limit, the Boundless Mirror's projections twisted and collapsed into one spot.
Then exploded in blinding white radiance.
Once the glow dimmed, nothing but empty black void lingered.
Crack!
Just as the Boundless Mirror's surface showed hints of mending, a new crack emerged.
Sun Luyao wailed in agony. His dark form yanked back into the mirror forcibly.
"Brother!"
Sun Luyuan shook off his daze instantly. His face twisted in alarm as he lunged for the Boundless Mirror.
But as he neared, his hand jerked back like burned by fire.
Sun Luyuan gazed solemnly at his extended right hand.
In that instant, it had aged millennia. Flesh shriveled, skin dried, wrinkles exploded across it.
Not just his body.
Sun Luyuan sensed part of his divine soul had truly weathered eons, scarred irreparably.
If a mere brush caused this, imagine the fate of Li Fan's clone trapped within.
Earlier, beholding the Boundless Mirror foresee the Xuanhuang Realm's future, Li Fan—beyond shock—yearned to probe deeper.
Yet a abrupt, deadly peril surged inside, brooking no delay.
This destructive force hid in the Boundless Mirror's innermost depths. Even Li Fan's clone, who controlled most of it, sensed nothing until it struck.
And strike it did, with savage intensity.
Like endless time's corrosion, the Boundless Mirror—freshly vitalized by the fragment—suddenly suffered myriad disasters at once, crumbling anew.
Even the central array, [Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form], tore apart like in a tempest.
Sections of its restored framework shattered once more.
Li Fan's clone couldn't dodge harm.
Down to a faint soul thread, it wavered like a flame in gusts, near extinction.
Luckily, two things preserved it.
First, prior refinement via arrays had made the mirror mostly his. Inside, he drew its strength for some defense.
Second, sensing doom for his clone, Li Fan instinctively chanted the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra.
It couldn't mend the lost parts but sharply curbed the erasure speed in the onslaught.
After prolonged torment, the horror rampaging in the Boundless Mirror at last ebbed.
Li Fan knew it hadn't truly ended.
Rather, it withdrew deep into the mirror, slumbering once again.
Only then did Sun Luyuan's worried voice filter through.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Sun Luyao, gravely wounded, lacked strength to reply.
Noticing this, Sun Luyuan acted decisively.
He swiftly bore the Boundless Mirror to the Sun family's essence blood pool.
Despite its name, the pool held no bloody reek. Rather, it overflowed with scents of supreme herbs and ores.
The liquid wasn't red but a fantastical seven-hued shimmer, flowing like divine glow.
Immersed in it, Li Fan's withered clone at last eased.
"Why is it draining so fast?" Sun Luyuan gasped at the pool water's swift discoloration.
Still, he clenched his jaw and departed, evidently to fetch more essence blood.
