Splitting the sky and clearing the mystery

“This…”

Huangfu and Dongfang, who had narrowly escaped death, both had ashen faces and cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.

They stared blankly at the long void not far away, speechless.

If Li Fan had been a step slower just now, the three people on the Puxian True Ark would have probably all turned to dust by now!

Swallowing hard, Huangfu Song’s legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed onto the deck.

“What in the world was that…?” Dongfang Yao, with greater courage, recovered from his shock, forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart, and looked out of the ark.

The destructive power of the black light pillar was terrifying; even after a long time, the Devouring Yuan White Mist that had been penetrated still hadn't recovered.

Moreover, the black light seemed to contain a strange corrosive power; even though the light pillar had dissipated, everyone still felt a sense of danger arise in their hearts when they looked at that empty, void space from a distance.

“I say, why don’t we move further away first? Otherwise, if another one comes, we’ll be dead for sure,” Dongfang Yao observed for a while, then suggested softly.

At this moment, Li Fan, whose expression was relatively calm, spoke up: “That’s not right! It’s better to remain unchanged in response to all changes. Although I don’t know the origin of this black light pillar, this direction has already been bombarded once, so the possibility of it being struck again…”

“Is not high…”

Before the word “high” was finished, Li Fan’s expression changed again.

His entire Spiritual Qi circulated to its peak, pouring into the Puxian True Ark, causing it to suddenly accelerate and soar upwards for a distance in an instant.

After he had done all this, another terrifying black light pillar shot out from the depths of the White Mist.

This time it was even more dangerous than before; the Puxian True Ark barely dodged it. It seemed that even through the ark’s hull, they could feel the suffocating, destructive power of the black light.

Having been startled twice in a short period, Huangfu Song finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly sat down.

And Li Fan, who had been instantly proven wrong, also cursed inwardly.

Fortunately, his temperament was resolute, and he managed to suppress the thought of “quickly escaping,” not running wildly but insisting on staying put.

After this, sure enough, seven more black light pillars shot out from the depths of the White Mist, almost sweeping across the entire White Mist area.

The Devouring Yuan White Mist, which had stretched for tens of thousands of years, seemed to have been purified by this world-destroying power, becoming much thinner.

This magnificent and terrifying sight left all three people on the ark in a daze.

“world-suppressing supreme artifact, this is the Immortal Alliance’s world-suppressing supreme artifact, the Rending Sky Cannon…” As if remembering something, after a moment, Huangfu Song exclaimed in surprise.

These words immediately attracted the attention of Li Fan and Dongfang Yao.

“world-suppressing supreme artifact?” Li Fan’s eyes flickered slightly.

The so-called “world-suppressing supreme artifact” was the Xuanhuang World Cultivators’ term for powerful Magic Treasures that could change the course of war between two sides and possessed extraordinary power.

During the previous friendly exchange activities between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Old Men Association, both sides displayed one.

It is said to have directly caused many pro-war Cultivators to change their original stance.

The existence of world-suppressing supreme artifacts was considered a secret within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and ordinary Cultivators rarely had the chance to see them.

Unexpectedly, Li Fan and the other two would encounter one here!

And it was even at full power, seemingly engaged in combat with something.

“Could it be that they’ve started fighting with the Five Old Men Association again?” After a moment of silence on the Puxian True Ark, Dongfang Yao couldn't help but guess softly.

“That shouldn’t be the case…” Although Huangfu Song said this, he clearly still had this worry in his heart. He took out his communication spiritual talisman, contacted someone, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

“Don’t be so suspicious. It’s the Immortal Alliance’s Yanwu Hall people clearing out a Mystic Domain. We just had bad Luck and happened to run into it,” Huangfu Song rolled his eyes at Dongfang Yao.

“What kind of Mystic Domain requires such a powerful weapon? And without even a warning! If it weren’t for Brother Li’s quick reaction, we would all be dead here. It’s a disregard for human life!” Dongfang Yao cursed angrily.

“Say less,” Huangfu Song quickly persuaded Dongfang.

Li Fan, however, looked deeply into the riddled depths of the White Mist. Even from a great distance, he could still vaguely sense the Spiritual Qi fluctuations coming from that direction.

After waiting a while longer, and confirming that the Rending Sky Cannon’s bombardment had ended, the three of them then steered the Puxian True Ark and quickly departed.

“Have you two brothers decided what you want to exchange for?” On the way back to the city to purchase supplies, Huangfu Song opened the liangtian mirror’s item list again, looking at it with satisfaction as he asked.

“I’ve taken a liking to that method that can nourish the Physical Body by eating. Although my Physique is special, and I can recover immediately from any injury that isn’t too severe, I always feel like there are hidden injuries accumulating. Usually, it’s not a big deal, but I’m afraid it will become a hindrance when I Breakthrough to a major Realm,” Dongfang Yao was very honest, explaining his future plans in detail.

“Hehe, I’ve taken a liking to that Celestial Mystery Secondary Body, the Disintegration Disc. There are still six left. If we move faster, we might still have a chance,” Huangfu Song smiled, but didn’t state the reason for his choice.

“What about you, Brother Li?” Dongfang Yao asked curiously.

“I’ll wait and see. No rush to make a decision,” Li Fan said with a calm expression.

However, upon returning to the nearest Tianyu City, the three, who had been somewhat leisurely, instantly became urgent.

It turned out that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s decree had been officially issued.

Cultivators across the world moved at the news. Three or five friends journeyed together, and Puxian True Arks rushed from all corners of the Xuanhuang World into the White Mist, vying with each other.

The Great Exploration Era had officially arrived!

Although these Cultivators, who had no backing or background, had lost the initiative and their exploration progress was already a step behind, their numbers were simply too great. Who knew if one or two Heaven-Defying lucky individuals would emerge from among them?

If they were fortunate enough to encounter a place as important as the Reversing Life and Death Mystic Domain, that would instantly mean thirty thousand qingxuan points in their account.

One must know that Li Fan and the others, fighting tooth and nail, had only accumulated just over twenty-one thousand points!

To be honest, this pitiful first-mover advantage was simply not enough in the face of true Heaven's Favor!

Thus, after necessary supplies were replenished, they didn't even have time to rest before plunging back into the White Mist.

It’s worth mentioning that the “cheap” yet exceptionally effective Longevity Pill, which Li Fan had “accidentally” bought, had now, with the advent of the Great Exploration Era, suddenly appeared in the Immortal Alliance market like mushrooms after rain.

It could be bought at the Thousand Mile Hall in every city.

“Who knows which organization is behind this Longevity Pill? They don’t even need to explore the White Mist like us. Just relying on this one Medicinal Pill, they must have made a fortune,” Huangfu Song said with a hint of sourness in his tone, sighing as he watched the crowds flocking outside the Thousand Mile Hall, scrambling to buy Longevity Pills.

Updating one chapter first. There will be two more chapters tonight.
