Chapter 1365: Chapter 1241: A Thought Retreats the Tide

“What is that, am I seeing things? I seem to see that one awakening, making the barriers tremble?”

“How is that possible?”

“At the end of the image, within that scene, there’s a presence that surpasses everything, stronger than the barriers, but unlike them, it doesn’t instill fear…”

At this moment, the images seen by all beings in the Dark Firmament and Nine Forbidden Continents have disappeared.

And in that last moment before the images vanished, everyone felt…

The tremor of the barriers!

And the awakening of that one!

Along with that one awakening, came a force greater than the barriers, yet it was not eerie, not intimidating, like the wind and the dew, like Lei Ting yet not crushing the grass, so perceiving that Dao, the many Supreme Beings of the world were not destroyed.

The image had faded, yet a huge wave stirred across the world.

“What on earth has happened deep within the barriers…”

“Something major is going to happen, something major!”

“Something’s wrong!”

In the Dark Firmament, many Supreme beings were panicking.

Meanwhile, in the crumbling Ten Thousand Dao Gate, the remaining Supremes cornered by the dark mist were thrilled to the extreme.

“That one has stepped onto the barriers… he seems to have awakened!”

“This is the grand scheme of eternity, truly the grand scheme of eternity… Has that one been planning all along?”

“He went to the barriers, this time, there might really be hope!”

A series of elderly voices echoed, trembling.

…

Before the Samsara.

In Black White’s eyes, there appeared an unprecedented excitement, he clenched his fists, his heart racing!

“Master, that one…”

Behind him, Meng Po and others spoke in a daze.

“Senior Li’s painstaking dedication… setting up for eternity, stepping onto the barriers, is the result he seeks!”

Black White spoke with certainty:

“Everything is a set-up; entering the Domain of Utmost Darkness is a set-up, disciples turning into darkness… is also a set-up!”

…

In the small mountain village.

“Roar… battle, battle, battle!”

The True Dragon roared excitedly into the nine heavens, the final image making its battle blood boil completely.

They distinctly felt the awakening of Li Fan, and that awakening was without any disguise, the great Dao gloriously revealed, cultivation level fully unleashed!

It was a power they had never felt before!

“Master clearly became The Quiet One, disciples turned dark, confidantes perished, his anchor in reality was gone…”

The Phoenix muttered, somewhat lost.

Even they, being so close to Li Fan, saw Nan Feng, Zi Ling, and others being darkly transformed into Dark Creatures, plus Yun Xi’s death…

At that moment, they too believed Li Fan’s Dao heart would break, losing his anchor in reality!

The Peach Tree suppressed its inner excitement, trying to speak calmly:

“Everyone believed the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones, The End of Myriad Paths, were Master’s anchor in this world… the ones he cared about most.”

“But perhaps Master… never needed an anchor.”

Never needed an anchor!

Upon hearing this, both the True Dragon and Phoenix were shocked!

No need for an anchor…

This… as strong as they are, they had never heard of it either.

The stronger one is, the easier it is to get lost, so there’s a need to find one’s meaning in reality, which is the anchor.

Even for the Primordial Law Entities, they still need an anchor, else they become part of the Primordial Law, losing their own existence.

But Li Fan didn’t need an anchor…

“But, Nanfeng Ziling and the others, they have ultimately been transformed, and Yun Xi is already gone…”

The Old Hen continued, “This scheme is too tragic.”

The Peach Tree merely smiled slightly and said:

“With Master’s current cultivation level, I believe… if he intends to cross the barriers, there might be another way…”

“Setting up for eternity, not just to cross barriers, perhaps this whole arrangement, was for the myriad beings of the world.”

“And for those around him.”

Hearing this, the Phoenix was startled and said:

“You mean…”

…

The black tide surged.

On the surface of the Nether Oblivion Sea, great waves surged unpredictably, the Supreme Corpse Bones were crushed and turned to dust.

At the end of the Nether Oblivion Sea, the vast and indistinct, where even Supreme beings couldn’t approach, the barriers were actually trembling.

On the barriers.

“Deceiving the Primordial Law… you shall be punished!”

Two beings formed by the Primordial Law, mixed with anger and fear, rooted in the primordial terror spreading.

“Kill! Annihilate everything!”

They roared, at this moment, their human forms dissipated, transforming into the most primal law, invoking the power behind the barriers, coming like a storm!

Behind the barriers, no one knows what exactly lies there, and in this generation, only Li Fan and The Quiet One have seen it.

At this moment, the cosmic Secret Force from behind the barriers is about to annihilate everything!

The barriers shook violently, the outer Nether Oblivion Sea, every drop of water seemed to be boiling, those towering Supreme Corpse Bones shattered continuously, turning into annihilating matter.

The Domain of Utmost Darkness was expanding relentlessly, like a tide, sweeping the world!

The breath of destruction, piercing through the barriers, intended to destroy the entire world.

“All Paths to Silence!”

Before Li Fan took action, The Quiet One was already roaring, standing on the barriers, facing behind the barriers directly, temporarily freeing himself from the control of the Primordial Law, unleashing immense true intent with almost all his might!

The Quiet Dao!

At this moment, it seemed as though time was resting, all realms silent, all beings entering extinction!

The power of The Quiet One was enough to bring all cultivators, all Dao in the world, into silence, irreversible.

But, with a tremor from the power behind the barriers.

The body of The Quiet One was immediately covered with cracks, his once black hair instantly turned snow-white, as if aged countless years!

His Quiet Dao… was actually stripped away.

Together with his existence!

The Quiet One fell dejectedly, blood at the corners of his mouth, watching the encroaching power beyond the barriers, a wry smile.

“At long last, against beyond the barriers, a strike done…”

Tears welled in his eyes, murmuring:

“Heh heh… an ant, treading through a pond, thought it could find the imagined enemy, to slay, yet discovered an ocean…”

“But today, the ant… has struck at the ocean.”

“It’s at peace now.”

His face became serene, no more anger, no more coldness, just a peace of having done his utmost.

And beside him, Li Fan was calmly watching it all.

At the moment The Quiet One acted, he did not intervene, because he knew, it was The Quiet One’s long-cherished wish, the last gambit of a pitiful person, the final interpretation of his life.

No one should interfere.

Regardless of his success or failure.

From behind the barriers, the power seemed to break through the existence of the past and present, cascading forward.

Li Fan finally stepped forward, he casually glanced behind the barriers and said:

“Disrupting the mood, I don’t want to fight you now… get lost.”

With a casual wave of his hand.

In an instant, that presence that made even the barriers tremble, almost unbearable, that made the Nether Oblivion Sea boil, that threatened to destroy the present world, that even The Quiet One couldn’t withstand, was inexplicably repelled, retreating a billion miles!

That power receded like a tide, and the barriers instantly returned to peace.

Even the surging Nether Oblivion Sea was restored in an instant.

The Domain of Utmost Darkness, pushed by the Nether Oblivion Sea’s expansion, shrank like a collapse, spitting out the original space, returned to its original size.

As if nothing had ever happened.

…

All this stemmed merely from a single thought of Li Fan on the barriers.

…
