Chapter 481: Chapter 453: A Gentle Stroke of the Heavenly Palm

Li Fan’s eyes flashed, and he increased the intensity of his absorption.

The power of the Ley Line, hurrying from tens of tens of thousands of miles away, all flowed into Li Fan’s body.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Li Fan seemed to faintly hear the collision and roar from within his own body.

In this tug of war, it was as if something was slowly shattering.

It sounded like the crisp sound of shattering was echoing in his ears.

A moment later.

Li Fan’s cultivation base was advancing by leaps and bounds, his aura steadily rising. Within the blink of an eye, he had gone from just breaking through the Mid Stage Golden Core to advancing towards the Final Stage Golden Core.

Just at this moment…

Li Fan suddenly felt that the seabed that was previously slightly bright had completely darkened.

It was not only the darkness in his vision.

But also the feeling of confinement from the space being sealed off.

Without stopping the devouring, Li Fan looked up at the same time.

He saw a giant palm appearing above his head without knowing when.

Blocking everything and smashing down on his head.

In front of it, Li Fan was as insignificant as an ant.

“F***!”

Looking at this unknown power, Li Fan cursed in his heart.

However, his split-consciousness was running the “Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique”, like it had consumed the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, facing this terrifying giant palm without fear.

On the contrary, he opened his mouth, wanting to devour this giant palm as well!

The result was…

Naturally, without a doubt.

The next moment, Li Fan lost contact with his split-consciousness.

The silver lining in this misfortune was that this unknown existence who had attacked did not seem to be interested in a deeper investigation.

They did not trace it back to Li Fan’s real body.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would have to return to reality again.

Li Fan was carefully recalling the timing of the giant hand’s appearance.

“Was it because I forcibly broke through the Heavenly Calamity that attracted it?”

“Is it a countermeasure from Heaven and Earth, or…”

Frowning slightly, the Transformation Crystal Body in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness bloomed with a blue light.

At the moment just before his split-consciousness was crushed, he, who was using the Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique, actually absorbed a hint of energy from that giant palm.

If the other party was a cultivator, there was no doubt that Li Fan would not be able to do this at all.

Savoring the taste of that wisp of energy, Li Fan was deep in thought.

“It’s more like pure rule power.”

“Looking at it this way, it seems to be somewhat similar to Elder Brother Zhang’s Ambition Avatar.”

“They usually do not reveal themselves in the world, they only take action under specific circumstances….”

“I originally thought of using the Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique to raise the cultivation base of the split-consciousness to the Golden Core Perfection in advance, accumulating experience for the breakthrough to Nascent Soul. Who would have thought that even this could encounter a disaster.”

“Thankfully it’s only the split-consciousness.”

Li Fan sighed quietly, already accustomed to the dangers of the Xuanhuang World.

He quietly left the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, found a deserted place, and with some effort, remade “Zhou Qingang”.

The split-consciousness nodded slightly, bid farewell to his original self, and hurried towards the place where the incident occured.

He wanted to see what that sea area would become after suffering from that palm falling from the sky.

Before long, Li Fan returned to the scene.

What surprised him was that the sea surface was calm and the sky was clear.

There were no signs of a disaster.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just a delusion.

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then dove into the sea.

When he saw the scene at the bottom of the sea, his pupils couldn’t help but contract sharply.

The submerged island ruins that were originally there no longer existed.

What took its place was the seabed, appearing as ordinary as ever.

It wasn’t just pure destruction, but more like erasing the trace of existence completely!

After looking at it deeply, Zhou Qingang quietly returned to Taian Island and began his hibernation.

Inside the Tianxuan Mirror.

Using the eye of his mirrored entity to see the aftermath of the giant hand’s strike, Li Fan contemplated.

“Because I forcefully broke the Heavenly Calamity, I violated some taboo, and thus it needs to erase it?”

“And all of this happened in complete silence.”

“What would happen if I survived that strike?”

“Would I no longer be troubled by bottlenecks? Of course, it could also attract much more terrifying entities.”

His suicidal thoughts lasted only for a moment before being dismissed by Li Fan.

“However, in my past life, after some more days, the Heavenly Calamity mysteriously vanished on its own. I wonder why.”

After seeing the suppression of the sudden giant hand, Li Fan gave up his plan of having his mirrored entity practice cultivation.

He decides to just be a tool and scapegoat at critical moments.

Since his attempt to comprehend Jindan Array earlier via his mirrored entity failed, Li Fan had no choice but to buy related insights from the Tianxuan Mirror.

Everyone’s insights varied greatly, yet they all had its own merit with no distinct advantages or disadvantages.

Li Fan, being wealthy and extravagant, bought all insights for a detailed study.

Time slowly passed, as Li Fan cultivated and pondered.

Soon enough, it was time for the second investment date agreed upon with He Zhenghao.

Having started off well the last time around, He Zhenghao had bountiful results this time, collecting a total of 550,000 contribution points.

After confirmation with Li Fan, He Zhenghao swiftly transferred the contribution points.

He also added in 100,000 contribution points of his own.

“One million contribution points, one year from now,” Li Fan stated simply.

Overjoyed, He Zhenghao lavished Li Fan with praise.

Li Fan, indifferent to his flattery, directly cut off the communication.

He started to look over the list of contributors in this gathering.

What intrigued him was that a cultivator named Zhou Peng was once again the highest contributor.

“Interesting. Do they trust me this much? Aren’t they afraid that I’ll take the money and run?”

“And just like He Zhenghao, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, where did all these contribution points come from?”

Li Fan vaguely remembered this person from his past life, someone He Zhenghao used to mention occasionally.

A good friend with whom He Zhenghao often gathered to discuss investment strategies.

Apparently, this man had some connection with a certain cultivator from Tiantong Hall, thus, he was often well-informed and led everyone to make modest earnings.

Therefore, in their group, he is quite respected.

There were a few times in his past lives where this man played a significant role in the Spirit Mist Grass speculation that He Zhenghao planned.

“Scoff, regardless of what he’s up to, I have nothing to fear. I will just observe for now.”

Looking at his balance of over six million contribution points, Li Fan sneered in his heart.

With these many contribution points, he can continue making bold claims for a while.

Moreover, the Spirit Mist Grass event is coming soon.

These contribution points should soon multiply several times over.

“My only worry is that such a large transaction will inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.”

“It’s time to check on how my junior fellow Tianyang is recovering.”

With these thoughts, Li Fan quietly went to the Body Transformation Dao.

Tianyang sat quietly in the Array Technique, absorbing energy to replenish himself.

He showed no signs of guard at Li Fan’s arrival.

Li Fan checked the progress.

“Almost there.”

“With the strength of God Transformation, there should be no worries in the Misthaven Ocean.”

“But once outside the Misthaven Ocean, it seems a little inadequate.”

“Crimson Blaze Ocean…”

As Li Fan looked at Tianyang, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
