Chapter 163: Building the Foundation and Killing the Yuanying

After understanding the reason for being hunted, Li Fan did not immediately choose Huan Zhen.

Gazing at the burly, red-haired man above him, a dangerous glint flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

"I thought the one pursuing me would be an Immortal Lord."

"I didn't expect that by waiting, I would only get a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"I've cultivated for a hundred years, and I've never formally fought anyone."

"Perfect, I'll use you to test everything I've learned."

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator saw Li Fan frozen in place, not moving, and grew impatient.

"Hand over the little medicine king cauldron, and I'll spare your life!"

He roared again.

If he wasn't worried that attacking would damage the storage ring and cause him to lose the little medicine king cauldron, he would have probably slapped this small Foundation Establishment cultivator to death already.

"Is the little medicine king cauldron Senior mentioned this one?" Li Fan showed a fawning smile, then took out a small cauldron from his storage ring and held it in his hand.

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator's eyes lit up: "Yes! Yes! That's it! Little fellow, you're quite sensible!"

Watching the little medicine king cauldron fly towards him, he nodded with satisfaction.

He reached out and grabbed the small cauldron, but before he could even be happy,

a storage ring suddenly appeared from within the small cauldron.

Immediately after, a large cloud of White Mist entangled with golden threads appeared right next to the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Boom!"

Next to the White Mist, hundreds of Talismans instantly exploded.

A tremendous destructive force erupted.

Then, the cloud formed by the Devouring Yuan White Mist enveloped the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Bastard!"

With an angry roar, the Devouring Yuan White Mist was immediately scattered without a trace.

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator reappeared, the little medicine king cauldron already put away by him.

He seemed to have sustained no injuries, but his slightly trembling hand seemed to indicate that Li Fan's attack earlier was not entirely useless.

"You're looking for…"

Before he could finish saying "death," the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator felt himself instantly enveloped by several Formations.

The circulation of Qi within him paused, and then he saw the world seemingly light up.

A vast blue ocean suddenly appeared above the sky.

A brilliant azure Sword Qi, carrying an unstoppable Aura, flew out from the ocean and slashed towards him.

As soon as Li Fan made his move, it was his current strongest killing move.

Cong Yun One Sword.

"Earthly Wonder?!"

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator exclaimed, and then his gaze towards Li Fan became greedy.

The ground cracked, and the sky darkened.

A volcano rumbled and rose, blocking the path of the Sword Qi.

The volcano was not a mere illusion like the ocean, but seemed to be a physical object.

The surrounding environment grew scorching hot, and rolling magma surged from beneath the cracked earth.

The blue Sword Qi dimmed slightly, but still passed through the volcano, slashing towards the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator.

A trace of solemnity flashed across the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator's face; he felt that this blue Sword Qi was unavoidable.

He could only take it head-on.

And this Sword Qi, unleashed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, actually posed a fatal threat to him.

What kind of sword technique was this?

As his thoughts raced, a layer of firelight erupted from the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator's body.

The blazing flames, like blades, collided head-on with the blue Sword Qi.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

The blue Sword Qi condensed and shrunk in an instant, forming only a thin, aquamarine line.

The thin line split the flames in two and rapidly wrapped around the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator.

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator was slightly stunned, then heard the other party's light shout.

"Cong Yun, Twenty-Eight Swords!"

Within the ocean illusion that mirrored the heavens and earth, twenty-seven more Sword Qi formed and flew over in an instant.

At the same time, all the Formations also erupted.

Five Elements Sword Qi, applied to his body.

Exotic beasts roared, shaking his mind.

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator even felt a slight gap appear between his Physical Body and his Domain.

Unnoticed by anyone, a blue phantom suddenly appeared.

Causing the temperature around the volcano to instantly drop.

The blue phantom silently flew to the red-haired man's side and gently pressed its hand forward.

And together with the twenty-seven Cong Yun Sword Qi, struck the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator.

From the moment the first Cong Yun Sword flew out to the remaining twenty-seven Sword Qi striking the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Only an instant had passed.

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator's face was filled with astonishment.

Cracks appeared on his body.

His shattered body became stiff and cold.

A gentle breeze blew past.

Then, like a shattered ice sculpture, he disintegrated into countless tiny fragments, falling to the ground.

The Nascent Soul cultivator's body was utterly destroyed.

But Li Fan's face showed no joy of victory.

Because the volcano, which had been confronting the Congyun Sea, still existed.

It even became more turbulent.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"To destroy my Physical Body with a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation! You have enough to be proud of!"

"Unfortunately, a small Foundation Establishment cultivator like you will never understand the terror of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator's voice rang out again.

Beneath the calm tone was boundless rage.

"As long as the Domain is not destroyed, I am immortal!"

Behind the volcano, the phantom of an infant slowly appeared.

It was like a parasite, arching its small body and clinging to the volcano.

"You won't die easily either!"

"I will torment you with the most cruel methods; only then can I vent the hatred in my heart!"

Amidst the infant's resentful voice, the red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator's body, which had already been destroyed, actually showed faint signs of reappearing.

Li Fan saw that the energy of the volcano was slowly being absorbed by the infant.

Then, wriggling flesh appeared out of thin air on the infant's body.

As if weaving a coat.

A human shell was slowly forming.

"As long as the Domain is not destroyed, the Cultivator is immortal." Li Fan looked at this scene, lost in thought.

Bringing out all his methods, he caught the opponent off guard, but only managed to destroy one of his Physical Bodies.

Once he recovered, it would be his turn to die.

"Indeed, challenging across Realms is not an easy task."

"However…"

Li Fan's eyes flashed.

The Aura on his body suddenly erupted; Li Fan was holding nothing back now.

"I still have one last move, please Senior, enlighten me!"

The [Explosive Law Astonishing God Formation] was operating at its limit, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Enduring energy far beyond his capacity, Li Fan's body was also disintegrating inch by inch.

His lower body gradually disappeared, leaving only the remnants of his upper body.

Li Fan, fearless of life and death at this moment, unleashed the Overturning Sea Palm, which he had comprehended from the Dao Rhyme ancient artifact.

His right hand swung out, seemingly unremarkable.

Just a moment before the Overturning Sea Palm was about to take shape.

Li Fan, on the verge of life and death, suddenly had an Epiphany.

Xiao Heng and Su Xiaomei, when observing the Overturning Sea Palm, each had their own insights.

Xiao Heng's palm technique was ethereal and elusive.

Su Xiaomei's palm technique, however, was incomparably overbearing, suppressing all things.

But Li Fan had always only grasped its form, unable to form his own true meaning.

He was always just that little bit short.

Several years had passed without progress.

But at this moment, with a Foundation Establishment cultivation, facing a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Li Fan, fearless of life and death, undaunted by the Realm gap, decisively unleashed the Overturning Sea Palm, and then suddenly comprehended his own true meaning of the palm technique.

That was…

Defiance!

What if he's a Nascent Soul cultivator?

I have Reincarnated twice, cultivated for a hundred years, and possess countless secrets.

I even used several Prodigies as chess pieces to deduce Divine Ability Cultivation Techniques.

To kill an enemy two Realms above me, if ancient Prodigies could do it, why can't I?

Li Fan's body dissipated with the wind, but his eyes grew even brighter.

He laughed loudly: "Today, with your life, help me attain Divine Ability!"

The red-haired Nascent Soul cultivator was so angry he laughed instead: "Such arrogance…"

Before he could finish speaking, he found that dark clouds had covered the sky above him at some unknown point.

"Seemingly Overturning Sea."

"In reality…"

"Overturning Heaven!"

A gigantic hand, whose full form could not be seen, descended from the sky, pressing down directly.

"Boom!"

The volcano, along with the Nascent Soul attached to it.

Instantly turned into dust.

High above the heavens, the abnormal phenomenon of a Nascent Soul cultivator's demise suddenly formed.

But Li Fan had no time to worry about it.

His body disintegrated, leaving only half of his head.

Before his consciousness completely faded, Li Fan silently recited.

"Huan Zhen!"
