Chapter 361: The “Chaos” Character Seals the Mystic Domain
It seemed that as time passed, this piece of rubble had also lost the might it originally possessed.
Li Fan paused for a moment, then held his breath and slowly approached.
Until he walked up to the rubble, he did not feel any changes in himself.
However, Li Fan's vigilance did not drop at all.
This Mystic Domain was filled with all sorts of bizarre phenomena, and he absolutely could not let his guard down.
Instead of touching the piece of rubble, he kept his distance and observed it carefully once more.
A small half of the rubble was stuck into the soil, and overall it was roughly square, about the length and width of a person spreading their arms.
On its edges, there were obvious traces of fracture.
It seemed as if it had been split from a certain complete stone.
In front and behind the "Chaos" character, there should still be some other characters carved.
It was a pity that it happened to be the single character "Chaos" separated, and not the slightest trace of the strokes of the characters before and after could be seen.
"Looking at the appearance of this rubble, it does not look like a natural fracture. Instead, it looks like it was intentionally cut off by someone."
"Chaos."
"Could the bizarre phenomena of disordered directions and even human alienation in the area centered around this circular giant pit be related to this character?"
"If a single character really triggers so many anomalies…"
"What does this Chaos Character Stone have to do with the Heavenly Doctor?"
Li Fan pondered for a moment and decided to temporarily ignore it for now, instead checking the surroundings to see if there were any signs of an "exit" existing.
What was a pity was that at the bottom of the circular giant pit, besides the sticky unknown substance covering the ground,
there was only this Chaos Character Stone.
"The contorted monster now acts purely on instinct, so it shouldn't be fooling me."
Thinking about it, Li Fan returned to the side of the rubble, urged his spiritual power, and lifted it from the ground.
It didn't look like any Heaven And Earth Treasure, being as heavy as an ordinary stone.
Furthermore, after pulling it out, the expected suppressed exit did not appear beneath the rubble.
No abnormal situation happened at all.
"Strange…"
Li Fan put down the Chaos Character Stone and rubbed his chin.
There was not much time left, and Li Fan did not go to look for other possibilities again.
Instead, he stared closely at the stone in front of him, pondering where the exit was hidden.
Without too much time to waste, a moment later, Li Fan extended a finger and casually shot a streak of black light toward it.
While retreating his figure, he observed the changes that occurred when the Extinction Sword collided with the Chaos Character Stone.
The black sword light flew in front of the rubble in an instant.
The very moment before it collided with it, the black light suddenly twisted somewhat.
Under Li Fan's gaze, three clusters of energy that he was extremely familiar with were parsed out from the black light.
Madness, pitch-blackness, swirling vortexes…
They were precisely the three powers that constituted the Great Five Elements Extinction Sword: Celestial Killing, Ink Death, and the power of the Five Elements.
Under the influence of the Chaos Character Stone, the black light gradually faded.
Then, these energies that should have been controlled by Li Fan instead turned against each other and began to fight.
At the same time, an inexplicable fluctuation suddenly erupted from the Chaos Character Stone.
Sweeping across towards the outside of the circular giant pit.
Caught off guard and too late to dodge, Li Fan was passed through by it.
His expression changed abruptly, thinking that he had been backstabbed.
However, to his unexpected surprise, this fluctuation was purely all bark and no bite.
He only felt an itchy sensation all over his body as if ants were crawling everywhere, but after Spiritual Qi circulated a circle, it was quickly suppressed.
Li Fan was stunned for a moment, staring at the Chaos Character Stone, deep in thought.
"The "Chaos" character has dissipated, having only its form but lacking its spirit."
"However, even so, it can still affect my Five Elements Extinction Sword."
"…"
Li Fan glanced toward the place where the three clusters of energy had previously been entangled.
In the previous fluctuation, they had already annihilated each other in their mutual struggle.
The light of the last Black Death Talisman worn on his body had already grown so weak that it was nearly invisible.
It seemed as if it would completely collapse in the next second.
If it were anyone else encountering such a desperate situation, they would have long been flustered and unable to think calmly.
However, with Huan Zhen as his foundation, Li Fan was not flustered at all.
Without needing to consider his own crisis at all, Li Fan's thoughts spun rapidly as he continued to ponder.
After testing many different methods, when the Black Death Talisman completely shattered,
the ubiquitous White Mist around his body lost its restriction and began to devour Li Fan's Lifespan.
Just a few breaths passed, and the physiological age on Li Fan's Huan Zhen panel jumped from 51 to 52.
Although part of the reason was that most of his 51st year had already passed, it also showed the terrifying speed at which the Essence Devouring White Mist devoured Lifespan.
Life flowed away at a speed visible to the naked eye, which not only did not cause Li Fan to panic, but instead made his mind increasingly calm.
When Li Fan's Lifespan reached one hundred,
enlightenment suddenly struck his heart, and Li Fan's eyes abruptly lit up.
He leaped in front of the broken stone, using his hand as a brush to copy the traces of the "Chaos" character on the stone.
Writing it stroke by stroke.
The strokes were as vigorous as flying dragons and dancing serpents, completed in an instant.
A faint golden light flashed and vanished.
The "Chaos" character on the rubble seemed to regain a bit of luster.
What horrified Li Fan was that the moment the "Chaos" character reappeared,
the Spiritual Qi within his body was actually emptied in an instant.
If not for the Nine Laws Golden Core sensing the crisis, circulating in an instant, and the power of the Five Elements transforming into an endless stream of spiritual power to replenish his withered body,
I'm afraid he would have been directly drained dry just like that.
Even so, Li Fan only felt darkness before his eyes, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, after absorbing Li Fan's entire body's spiritual power, the Chaos Character Stone also underwent an inexplicable change.
The character seemed to come alive, naturally emanating a soul-shaking might.
And the entire stone became illusory.
Emitting a dreamlike radiance.
Even the Essence Devouring White Mist was forced back by the brilliance emitted by the Chaos Character Stone, forming a circle of vacuum zone.
Seeing this, Li Fan quickly dodged inside to avoid excessive loss of Lifespan.
Perhaps because this activation of the Chaos Character Stone absorbed the spiritual power within Li Fan's body,
after approaching the rubble, Li Fan did not sense any influence it had on him.
However, creaking sounds constantly came from all around, and the viscous substances covering the ground seemed to have gained life, beginning a bizarre twisting and swimming movement.
And Li Fan also keenly perceived that the motionless alienated corpses in the circular stone pit were also trembling slightly, as if they would come alive in the next second.
As the instigator of all this, Li Fan couldn't help but feel his hairs stand on end.
"This place is not a place to stay for long."
Li Fan observed the flashing, illusory yet real Chaos Character Stone, and a vague feeling arose in his heart.
That seemed like a gateway; he could enter it at any time.
His spiritual perception did not sense any danger ahead; on the contrary, the only chance of survival was inside.
Li Fan no longer hesitated, leaping forward to crash into it.
Just as Li Fan had anticipated, the stone seemed as if it didn't exist.
Li Fan passed right through it.
His vision blurred, and endless White Mist filled his eyes.
Li Fan finally left that treacherous Mystic Domain, returning to the normal White Mist Barrier.
