My Simulated Longevity

My Simulated Road to Immortality Text Volume Chapter 1093 The Tide of Darkness Seeing the abnormality of the group of You tribesmen in front of him, Li Fan remained calm. Ignoring their expressions of extreme fear, he forced them to complete their oath of initiation in front of the faceless immortal stone statue.

Then when they finally calmed down, Li Fan asked why they were so scared.

The leader of the You tribe trembled, and after a long time, he was able to explain: "We have not been lucky enough to see the True Immortal Stone Statue before. But the moment we saw it, our tribe instinctively felt boundless fear. "

"We live in darkness all year round, and our bodies have adapted to the special environment there. Under normal sunlight, we can barely hold on for a while, but in front of the True Immortal Stone Statue..."

"It was like a light source a thousand times brighter than the sun in the sky suddenly appeared in the darkness."

The leader of the You tribe spoke intermittently, but Li Fan also understood what he meant.

Just like a mortal would feel fear when facing the abyss. When the You people saw the stone statue of the Faceless Immortal, they also felt extremely frightened because of the fatal threat.

But the true immortal's net is invisible and has no form. Even Li Fan, if he were not the agent of the Faceless Immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm, would probably not be aware of its existence.

On the other hand, this group of You clan members, even the newly born children, all feel the power of the true immortal without exception.

"It seems that it has something to do with the power of darkness they control."

Next, Li Fan learned from the leaders of the You clan about their understanding of darkness.

The You tribe people were actually human beings originally.

According to the ancient legends circulated by their ethnic group, in ancient times, the world they lived in still had blue skies, white clouds, and bright sunshine.

But suddenly one day, when the sun set, it never rose again.

People begged desperately in the dark, but no miracle came.

Most people have since disappeared into the darkness forever.

And those who survived, without exception, were all favored by the power of darkness.

Under the erosion and transformation of the dark power, their bodies slowly changed.

It turned into a terrifying appearance with no head and facial features squeezed into the chest.

In fact, the You people do not understand the nature of the power of darkness. He just regards it as the only straw to save his life and worships and prays to the terrifying evil god who brings destruction to the normal world.

And this dark power seemed to be able to understand their words. He would actually respond and be used by them.

The You clan people do not think that they have mastered the power of darkness, but that it is a gift from the great God of Darkness.

…

What the leader of the You clan said was different from the introduction given by the preacher Zhou.

The You people are obviously the aborigines of the Nether Realm, but the preacher Zhou said that they are just a special group that discovered the power of the Nether Realm and made use of it.

There should be no need for Dharma preacher Zhou to deceive himself about such a trivial matter.

"It seems that the process of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance discovering the Netherworld is not as simple as what he said."

A cold light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

Next, he thought about the manifestation of this dark power.

“Pray and wait for a response?”

"No wonder the passage to the entrance to the underworld is also opened through a singing and dancing ceremony."

Li Fan's eyes flashed.

Li Fan is no stranger to power of this nature that responds to the monk's inner touch.

The golden essence of source power is the remnant of power abandoned by the True Immortal in the process of pursuing the root of Tao. It is an existence called the Flower of the Path.

"Being able to sense each other, there may be some connection between the two."

According to the introduction of the leader of the You clan, although the power of darkness only appears in their hometown, it is actually everywhere in the Xuanhuang world. It's just that it's not concretely condensed, so it's difficult for ordinary people to detect it. However, if you pray and call through special methods, you can overcome the barriers between small worlds and call upon its power.

Under the witness of Li Fan, the leader of the You clan looked pious and muttered something.

He launched an attack towards a ferocious beast like a liger in front of him.

This liger is a new breed recently developed by the empire. Its body is as hard as steel. Even an ordinary Foundation-Building cultivator can't injure him even with a full blow.

But an extremely strange scene happened.

Without any warning, the originally majestic liger suddenly became limp and fell to the ground.

His eyes were full of fear, and he was helplessly trying to get up.

But underneath it, it was like there was an invisible quagmire. There are countless hands in the quagmire, constantly pulling at it.

Under Li Fan's gaze, the liger was slowly swallowed up by the darkness.

No bones remain.

From beginning to end, Li Fan never "saw" the existence of darkness.

But the liger did disappear under his nose.

Li Fan carefully checked the ground where darkness fell, and there was no power left.

"It comes and goes without a trace. It's hard to detect." Li Fan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The group of You clan members closed their eyes and prayed devoutly together again.

"It seems that only they can respond to the darkness through this kind of prayer. Ordinary humans, no matter how similar they look, cannot activate the power of darkness."

"It's easy to understand. Only by joining our Federation of Ten Thousand Realms, passing the oath of the True Immortal Statue, and joining the True Immortal Network will his prayers be sensed by me. Come to think of it, the power of darkness also has such an invisible net."

Li Fan thought to himself: "So the key is how to join this network without being swallowed by the darkness."

In the Netherworld, the strange appearance of Mo Rubin's body is still vivid in his mind. Mere physical contact with it would lead to such an end. It’s hard to imagine that one’s body and soul could be spared after being plunged into darkness.

Next, Li Fan ordered his dead men to try to imitate the attempt to communicate with the darkness, which also proved his guess.

Silent, swallowed by darkness. No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.

In a short period of time, the power of darkness was frequently triggered. There also appear to be some subtle changes.

As the master of the Spiritual Wood Realm, Li Fan faintly felt that the whole world darkened for a moment.

After confirming with the leader of the You clan, Li Fan knew that this was not his illusion.

But the darkness does have a tendency to flow here.

Li Fan decisively stopped the experiment temporarily.

After asking various people in the You clan for a long time, Li Fan finally got a rough idea of ​​the current situation of the dark power in the Xuanhuang Realm.

It's like a dark ocean gathering on the "backside" of Xuanhuang.

Although the position was fixed by some mysterious power. However, the all-pervasive nature of the darkness itself causes them to sometimes invade Xuanhuang and other small worlds along any possible "gaps".

Invade and eventually return to the netherworld.

The cycle goes back and forth, forming an existence similar to a "tide".
