My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1426: The Ink Death Dao Annihilation Aspect
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
When Li Fan stepped into the Land of Carefree, he was not immediately drawn into an illusory dream like ordinary people.
Instead, he saw the real Land of Carefree.
There were still some traces of human activity around the outskirts of the real paradise. But the deeper he went toward the central region, the fewer traces of human habitation there were.
After flying for some time, he arrived at the center of the Land of Carefree. What entered his sight was a completely pristine ancient natural landscape devoid of any human presence. Sunlight shone brightly, and the climate was humid. Within the endless rainforest, great rivers wound their way through the land.
The vitality here could be said to be the richest in the entire Xuanhuang Realm. There were many species that seemed to have evolved later, species that had never appeared in any other region of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Li Fan also keenly sensed that there seemed to be a force subtly maintaining the ecological balance of this natural paradise.
"Carefree..."
Li Fan's gaze flashed like lightning. He separated a strand of divine sense and sent it directly toward this force within the rainforest.
The instant that force was pierced through, faint, intermittent cries of an infant suddenly seemed to ring beside Li Fan's ears.
The surrounding rainforest scenery vanished in an instant.In a daze, it seemed as though he had arrived at a small mountain village. The ceaseless cries were coming from one of the houses.
Li Fan looked around with great interest. He had actually seen the scenery of this mountain village before. It had come from a painting called The Record of the Demon Infant Who Devoured Father and Mother and Forgot Worries.
Following the source of the cries, Li Fan pushed open the door and entered.
A thick smell of blood assaulted his nose. The scene inside the house was also quite horrifying.
An infant lay wrapped in swaddling clothes upon the bed.
Beside the bed, a man and a woman had already been reduced to bloody, mangled flesh, no longer resembling human beings.
Yet there was not the slightest trace of pain on their faces. Instead, they continued to smile foolishly and blissfully.
As though they could not feel any pain at all, they reached into their own bodies, which already exposed ghastly white bones, and tore off pieces of flesh.
Then they fed them to the infant on the bed.
"Little one, eat more. Eat until you're full. Hehehe."
They muttered as if possessed while coughing up large amounts of blood.
The blood seemed to be something extremely precious to them. Their faces immediately filled with heartache, and they hurriedly gathered the blood that had spilled onto the ground bit by bit. They mixed it with pieces of broken flesh and tissue before stuffing it into the infant's mouth.
The infant was completely powerless to resist and could only cry weakly.
...
Even Li Fan could not help but frown slightly at this sinister scene.
There was no doubt that this was part of Carefree' past.
However, Li Fan, who had already become a master of formations, could see at a glance that this was very different from an ordinary illusion formation.
"At the very least, these two people, who should be Carefree' parents, truly exist?"
Li Fan's divine sense incarnation slowly walked over to them.
Under Li Fan's interference, their movements were forcibly halted.
It was as though they had awakened from a dream and returned to reality. The possessed and delighted expressions disappeared from the faces of the man and woman. Although their bodies could not move, after regaining consciousness, they seemed to realize their own situation. Their eyes filled with endless despair and madness.
"Ahhh..."
They wanted to say something, but they could not speak at all. They could only make meaningless sounds.
Apparently displeased by Li Fan's interference, that force once again forcibly seized control of the couple.
They began once more to dig out their flesh and strip away their bones, feeding the infant in an act resembling a nightmare.
"That is what they themselves insist on seeking. Why must Senior interfere?"
"Is it not good to help others achieve what they desire?"
A smiling voice suddenly appeared, echoing throughout the small house.
"Playing tricks and pretending to be mysterious."
Li Fan gave a cold snort and was just about to act.
But a figure had already appeared in an instant, gracefully bowing before him.
At the same time, she softly cried out, "Senior, spare my life!"
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and examined her.
She wore not a single piece of clothing. Her body was slender and frail, with hardly any curves. Her long hair seemed never to have been trimmed since the moment she was born. It covered the floor like a winding black river.
The naked Carefree showed not the slightest embarrassment under Li Fan's gaze.
It was as though this was simply the form she had been born with.
"Senior, do you know what happened afterward?" Carefree pointed toward the man and woman in the house, who were feeding the infant with their own flesh and blood.
Li Fan did not answer.
Carefree answered her own question instead.
"These two people somehow heard from an immortal master about a secret method capable of defying fate and changing one's destiny. By nourishing a newly born infant with the parents' essence blood, then swallowing the infant after eighty-one days, one could instantly become an immortal."
"Hehehe..."
The scene before them suddenly changed.
As the infant nourished by flesh and blood slowly grew at an incomprehensible rate, her cries also became increasingly loud.
Gradually, the cries spread from the small house to every corner of the mountain village.
The voice seemed to possess a kind of magic. Everyone who heard it lost their minds. Like walking corpses, they slowly approached and then "fed themselves to the demon."
In only a few days, everyone in the entire village had turned into the indistinct mass of flesh inside the room.
The infant's cries gradually spread throughout the entire mountain.
Birds flying through the mountains and beasts roaming the forests, just like the humans, entered the small house without fear of death.
An overwhelming aura of blood and fiendish energy sealed off the house, as though even sunlight could no longer penetrate it.
Within the darkness, accompanying the ceaseless cries of the infant was the heart chilling sound of chewing.
In the end, every living creature throughout the entire mountain range was devoured by the demonic infant.
Silence.
Only the infant's cries continued to echo.
...
Such a degree of gore was already insignificant to Li Fan.
He looked toward a certain corner of the illusion.
"As expected of Senior!"
Carefree' voice sounded at the same time.
Li Fan's gaze fell upon that place. The vague figure that had been almost imperceptible gradually became clear.
"Wonderful, wonderful! The Saint Infant has grown even faster than planned!"
"In just a few more days, this spirit pill will be completely refined. The parents' sincere love, the innate desire for survival, together with the innate instincts of countless beasts..."
"Old Ancestor will definitely be extremely satisfied with this Saint Infant."
"After wasting seven attempts, this one is finally going to succeed."
The figure muttered to himself in delight.
After calculating the time with his fingers, the cultivator flew down, filled with anticipation, and slowly entered the small house.
"Obtaining the Saint Infant is what he has dreamed of day and night. Let him remain in this beautiful dream forever."
"Is it not good to help others achieve what they desire?"
Li Fan, however, saw that the cultivator's expression changed drastically the instant he entered the dark little house.
Confusion and terror continuously alternated across his face.
He tried to break free from the state in which he had lost control of himself.
Yet step by step, irresistibly, he continued approaching the infant.
Then he completely sank into it, just like the countless living beings who had already been buried within the infant's belly, and began digging out his own flesh bit by bit.
"Is Senior satisfied now?"
The scene suddenly shattered.
Carefree' expression was extremely innocent as she asked expectantly.
Li Fan did not answer. He merely watched as countless fragments of light surged toward him from the shattered scene.
The countless points of light were as vast as the starry sky. Each one represented an illusory dream.
Some came from humans, while others came from birds and beasts.
It was as though an endless river of memories was washing over Li Fan's divine sense.
These were not merely records of scenes. They were also accompanied by all kinds of insights of varying depths.
There were the insights of the countless beings who had become lost within these illusory dreams, and there were also...
Carefree' own insights.
Her various thoughts and comprehensions regarding the principles of the Xuanhuang Realm, and how to reverse them.
A mere strand of divine sense was originally incapable of enduring the baptism of such an enormous amount of information.
It was about to be assimilated and transformed into another part of the beings lost within the illusory dreams.
Yet the final portion of this strand of divine sense remained intact, no matter what.
No matter how much Carefree' will tried to wash over it, she could not harm it in the slightest.
In Carefree's eyes, a trace of curiosity could not help but emerge.
Yet with her strength, she was actually unable to see through what had been left behind within this remnant divine sense for a time.
This instead aroused Carefree's curiosity even further.
After the starry sky, even more points of light lit up. Like a galaxy descending from the highest heavens, they crashed down like a waterfall upon the final remnant of divine sense, which was like a diamond.
"Are you certain you really want to see it?"
After her unrelenting attempts, just as she was about to succeed, Li Fan's voice suddenly sounded beside Carefree's ear like a ghost.
After hesitating for only a moment, Carefree continued what she was doing.
The dazzling silver divine sense suddenly exploded.
What appeared before Carefree was...
Floodwaters surged, fire rained down from the heavens, black clouds blotted out the sun, and the world was sealed in ice.
Countless scenes of the world's destruction erupted all at once.
And this was merely the appetizer.
The destruction of the world was only the beginning.
A monstrous tide of black qi descended upon the world, swallowing everything.
Within the rolling sea of black qi, entire stretches of star seas suddenly vanished.
It was like a house filled with light gradually sinking into complete darkness.
The very existence of the entire world collapsed in an instant.
Yet the terrifying calamity was far from over.
The scene lit up within the darkness, then expanded billions upon billions of times in an instant.
It was as if within an endless ocean, every single wave contained a complete world.
And now, the terrifying darkness from the depths of the sea was continuously devouring everything.
Every apocalyptic scene imaginable was unfolding within this vast ocean.
An overwhelming sense of sinking and despair.
As the darkness gradually enveloped her and slowly eroded her existence.
When this vast ocean had completely fallen into dead silence.
After a brief pause, what appeared before her eyes once again were countless parallel threads.
The endless ocean she had just witnessed was merely one insignificant point of light on a single thread.
And now, these brilliant threads began to vanish in great numbers.
Every time a ray of light disappeared, corresponding scenes of world destruction surged into Carefree's mind.
The Great Dao Annihilation Calamity, involving countless possibilities, was drawn from the scenes Li Fan had personally witnessed, as well as the memories of Evil Su Ba within the Eternal Remnant Will.
Such terrifying yet incomparably real scenes.
They were far beyond what Carefree could endure.
Even though, from a spiritual perspective, her strength was not much weaker than that of Immortal Ancestor or the Heavenly Doctor.
But now...
Clouds representing apocalypse, terror, and despair were descending into Carefree's Dream Paradise through Carefree herself.
Boom!
One dream world after another inexplicably plunged into the apocalypse.
The very foundation of the Dream Paradise was subjected to a violent impact and inevitably began to shake violently.
"Ah!" Carefree let out a scream and awoke from the nightmare.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, drenched in cold sweat.
She attempted to stop the terrifying calamity from spreading throughout the Dream Paradise.
But the calamity spread far too quickly. Even she herself could barely protect herself, let alone the countless living beings within the dream.
"Senior, spare me!"
Carefree left the illusionary dream and arrived in the real world.
She knelt before Li Fan with her body trembling.
Although she had already learned through various channels that his strength was extremely terrifying, even somewhat inconceivable.
But being able to experience such a terrifying great calamity and survive it...
This had still far exceeded Carefree's imagination.
All her plans were now abandoned. The only thought remaining in Carefree's mind was her instinctive desire to survive.
"Carefree, Carefree."
"The great calamity has arrived. How can one resolve their worries?"
Li Fan spoke meaningfully.
Within Carefree's Dream Paradise, the calamity that had been violently affecting countless dreams suddenly fell completely still.
Then, just as it had arrived.
It disappeared without a trace, silently and without leaving the slightest sign.
A black point radiating monstrous baleful qi appeared in Li Fan's palm.
Then, with a light wave of Li Fan's hand, it floated toward Carefree's forehead.
Carefree's body trembled slightly, instinctively wanting to evade it.
But the point of light radiating rolling black qi seemed to possess the weight of countless layers of heaven and earth combined.
She could not evade it at all and could only allow it to enter her soul.
It was as if a haze had descended from the top of her head.
In an instant, it then sank into the depths of her heart and disappeared without a trace.
Only after a long time did Carefree, still shaken from what had happened, gradually come to her senses.
Looking at the figure before her, she could only feel that the thoughts she had entertained not long ago about playing with and testing him had been utterly ridiculous and absurd.
"Take me to meet the other four," Li Fan stood with his hands behind his back and ordered calmly.
A layer of silver light seemed to illuminate the edges of his body, concealing his face.
It made others dare not look directly at him.
"Yes." Carefree lowered her head and accepted the order.
The surrounding scene changed once again.
This time, Li Fan could feel the power of the Dream Paradise lingering around him.
However, he had already implanted a means of countercontrol within Carefree's mind.
With a single thought from him, Carefree's dream would collapse. Thus, Li Fan simply allowed her to pull him into the illusionary dream.
"Integrating the Ink Death Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth into the aspect of the Dao Annihilation Calamity."
"The power is not bad."
Li Fan thought this to himself as he looked around.
Having been intimidated by his methods, Carefree was indeed extremely efficient.
One-Heart Heavenly Sovereign, Zhao Ruoxi, was the first to appear before Li Fan.
She was also completely naked, just like Carefree. It seemed that she had previously been lying on the beach, basking in the sunlight.
Awakened by the inexplicable great calamity, she abruptly rose to her feet and looked around in shock and uncertainty.
And now, the sudden arrival of Carefree and Li Fan startled her even more.
Li Fan had already seen the beautiful body before him countless times.
No matter how graceful her figure was, it could no longer cause the slightest ripple in Li Fan's emotions.
Through a brief exchange of glances with Carefree, Zhao Ruoxi also learned what had happened.
While inwardly shaken, she changed into a white robe.
"Greetings, Senior." She respectfully bowed to Li Fan.
Li Fan nodded slightly.
Just then, another fluctuation came from the surroundings.
Carefree's form rapidly changed, returning to the appearance of an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes.
The other three Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns arrived belatedly.
