My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1573 - 1347: Dao Yan Approaches the Star Sea_2

Chapter 1573 -1347: Dao Yan Approaches the Star Sea_2

Moreover, this black qi that constitutes the black vortex…

It’s actually extremely similar to what he previously obtained from decomposing True Immortal flesh with the white circle in Luo Fanchen, as well as what was contained within Han Zhong, who was trapped in the Eye of the Tian Beast.

However, the sensation Li Fan got from each of the three was clearly distinct.

Clearly delineated levels.

The one in the black vortex is even more dangerous.

Li Fan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“What is this?” he asked.

“Not sure. But it’s certain that it’s related to the Path-obliterating Calamity that happened in the past in the Immortal World,” Mo Rubing said with utmost seriousness, making a startling statement.

“?” Li Fan was startled, “Path-obliterating Calamity?”

With a grand wave of his hand, Mo Rubing made all the black vortexes on the numerous bubbles around them disappear, restoring the normal observation of the Star Sea.

“This black whirlpool was discovered by accident when I used the Eye of the Heavenly Beast to search the Star Sea for Xuanyuan Big Brother,” he said.

“At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it. I even thought it was just a normal cosmic anomaly that appeared over the years in the Star Sea. However, later…”

Mo Rubing coughed and stretched out his ten fingers toward the bubbles associated with the Eye of the Heavenly Beast.

In the blink of an eye, countless streaks of black ink flew from Mo Rubing’s fingertips, each heading toward a different bubble.

Li Fan could clearly see that at the end of each streak of black was a miniature version of Mo Rubing.

Except that the expressions on their faces were different, some ferocious, some fearful, some insane.

When thousands of mini-Mo Rubing figures rushed towards the Eye of the Tian Beast bubbles and made contact, they seemed to undergo torture in an instant, shrieking sharply together.

But their physical movements didn’t stop.

They gripped the bubbles tightly with both hands and then yanked hard.

Like peeling off a layer of rotting, malodorous outer skin, they tore off a layer of sticky, black unknown substance from the Eye of the Heavenly Beast.

Ahhhh!

The little Mo Rubings wailed even more fiercely.

Their figures became blurred by the black erosion, seeming like they could disappear at any moment.

But under the control of the real Mo Rubing, they never let go.

They completely tore off the decayed black skin from the inside of the Eye of the Heavenly Beast.

Gurgle gurgle…

Afterward, they did not store the black substance but opened their already indistinct mouths and devoured it greedily.

With the dense black rottenness in their stomachs, the faces of the mini-Mo Rubings became indiscernible.

“The Demon Heart is indestructible; the Immortal body is unending.”

Just there, Mo Rubing’s indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

A mysterious force momentarily enveloped and descended upon those blurry figures.

Sustaining them from completely dissipating.

Just like a series of pouches, unbroken. Containing those black sticky substances.

Mo Rubing’s expression was solemn, carefully calling back his Demon Heart.

Of course, not returning to himself.

Instead, he took out a jade casket and placed them all inside it.

After completing all this, Mo Rubing finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Li Fan, however, noticed that Mo Rubing had become weaker again.

He watched the other party intently, waiting for an explanation.

After resting for a while, Mo Rubing said weakly: “This is already the fourth time I’ve cleansed it.”

“I originally thought this black qi was just a normal occurrence in the Star Sea and was harmless. Yet, after only observing it a few times, the Eye of the Tian Beast suffered its erosion.”

“Fortunately, the Eye of the Heavenly Beast is originally from the Immortal World, inherently superior to the Star Sea of the Lower Realm. And it is not in direct contact, hence there is still room for redemption.”

“Using my previous method of purification, the dark energy attached to it can be thoroughly cleansed.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan also breathed a sigh of relief: “That is indeed lucky amidst misfortune.”

However, he was quickly startled and anxiously asked: “The Path-obliterating Calamity, as you said before, once destroyed the Immortal World. Has it now emerged in the Star Sea? Even True Immortals are unable to withstand it. Are we not facing imminent disaster?”

“My friend, there is no need to be so tense. It’s not as bad as it seems,” Mo Rubing shook his head.

After a pause, choosing his words carefully, Mo Rubing slowly continued: “Back then, Xuanyuan Big Brother was already concerned about the spread of the Path-obliterating Calamity from the Immortal World to the Lower Realm.”

“Although he never explicitly mentioned it, I could tell.”

“As I told you before, if you are unaware of its name, even if you see it face to face, you will not understand the details of this catastrophe. If you do know its name, even if it’s your first glimpse of its signs, you will instinctively feel something amiss. Now that you, my friend, are aware of the name ‘Dao Yan’, upon observing this dark energy, have you felt anything?” Mo Rubing asked.

Li Fan recalled what he had just seen: “I did not, indeed.”

“That is exactly the point,” Mo Rubing said somberly, “I suspect that this dark aura is not the Path-obliterating Calamity itself but an omen that the calamity is nearing.”

“Just as the sky accumulates dark clouds before heavy rain, or leylines shudder before mountains collapse; catastrophes in this world are often preceded by certain signs. This dark energy may indeed be a sign of the looming Path-obliterating Calamity.”

“Moreover…” Mo Rubing’s expression grew more solemn.

“It is not merely a sign. As you have seen earlier, the dark energy seems to devour anything close in the Star Sea. Therefore, if we do not take precautions and let it expand unchecked, the growing scale of this dark energy may hasten the arrival of the Path-obliterating Calamity.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan’s brows furrowed tightly, his expression also becoming extremely grave.

Seemingly digesting the information within Mo Rubing’s words, he remained silent for a long time.

“How could this be?” After a long while, Li Fan could only utter this sentence.

His tone still carried a hint of panic.

Mo Rubing could only respond with silence.

“The ways of the world are fickle. Or perhaps, this has all been predetermined since the day the Immortal World fell,” Mo Rubing lamented after a while.

“Is there no way to stop the spread of this dark vortex?” Li Fan asked, unwilling to accept fate as it was.

“Even if there were, it would be beyond our ken. Xuanyuan Big Brother might have had a way.”

Li Fan’s eyes lit up as if grasping at a lifeline, and he hurriedly asked, “By the way, using the Eye of the Heavenly Beast, have you found any trace of the King of Mystic Sky in the Xuanhuang World, the Star Sea?”

Mo Rubing let out a self-deprecating laugh: “If I had found him, I would not have had to expend my efforts to cleanse this Dao Yan Black Qi myself.”

“However…”

“It’s not without gains.”

Li Fan’s gaze immediately locked onto Mo Rubing.

“Back when Xuanyuan Big Brother mysteriously vanished, at the very last moment, he sent out several warnings.”

“Among them, we few Dharma King Brothers should have all received one.”

“Another message, however, was sent beyond the Xuanhuang World, even beyond the Starry Sky.”

“This message was extremely secretive. I would not have been aware of it had it not been for the trace left by the Eye of the Heavenly Beast, which allowed me to sense it,” Mo Rubing said quietly.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this: “Beyond the Starry Sky? Could it be…”

He was startled in his heart.

“There’s only one possibility. The recipient of Xuanyuan Big Brother’s message must be the Faceless Immortal,” Mo Rubing stated outright.

“I remember you telling me that when the King of Mystic Sky disappeared, the Stone Statue of the Faceless Immortal inexplicably broke at the head…”

Mo Rubing nodded: “So I speculate, Xuanyuan Big Brother encountered danger, protected by the Faceless Immortal, yet unable to remain intact, and the medium through which power was transferred, the Stone Statue, was severed.”

“In the final moments, Xuanyuan Big Brother discovered something, thus he used the Eye of the Heavenly Beast of the Floating Star Crossing Formation to send a message beyond the Star Sea, to where the Faceless Immortal resides.”

“He wished to convey his discovery to the Faceless True Immortal.”

Li Fan, completely absorbed, couldn’t help but say: “Is it possible to ascertain the message sent by the King of Mystic Sky through the trace of the Eye of the Heavenly Beast?”

“Unfortunately, that is impossible,” Mo Rubing said, filled with regret.

“Never mind that Xuanyuan Big Brother would surely have encrypted it.”

“The secrets hidden within this message, which Big Brother did not share with us Dharma King Brothers, instead preferring to notify the Faceless Immortal, clearly indicate that even if we were informed, we would be utterly incapable of dealing with it. Much like the true face of the Path-obliterating Calamity, knowing about it would only serve to increase our troubles.”
