Chapter 759: Chapter 722: Huangfu’s Legacy Explosion
However, things did not go as hoped.
After Li Fan and his companions had thoroughly explored this Mystical Realm, they still hadn’t found an exit.
They had no choice but to return to the Black Sphere once again.
“It seems, if we want to get out, we’ll have to figure something out with this thing.” Huang Fusong’s face looked somewhat awful.
“Could the exit be inside this thing?” Dong Fangyao shivered at the thought.
“What exactly is this black sphere? You two have seen much and know wide, do you have any insights?” Li Fan, who had been staring at it for a long time, asked.
“I do know some things that Spirit Consciousness can’t sense. But this clearly doesn’t match with those!”
Huang and Dong were both at a loss.
After another period of silence, the black Talisman glow above Li Fan’s head gradually weakened, indicating he was running out of energy.
“Staying idle is not a solution either. We should first test what it’s all about.”
Replacing it with a new Talisman Record, Li Fan first flew near the tentacle protruding from the Black Sphere, lightly touching it.
Like a mirage, Li Fan’s palm went through it.
“It’s as if it doesn’t exist. But why then can it hold onto the True Boat of Universal Virtue?” The three exchanged glances, puzzled.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Fan shielded himself and flew directly towards the gigantic Black Sphere.
Huang and Dong hesitated for a while, but ended up following.
The rolling Black Viscous Substance gathered together, filling the whole field of vision, bringing an immense sense of oppression.
Suppressing their heart’s palpitations, the three endured the discomfort and “drilled” into the black sphere’s interior.
Although neither their Spirit Consciousness nor their bodies could touch this Black Substance, after being completely enveloped by it, they experienced a peculiar sensation.
It felt like they were covered in cold reptiles, wet and nauseating.
Fortunately, other than this “feeling”, the viscous Black Substance seemed to cause no other harm.
As if walking in a muddy marsh, they took careful steps towards the central area.
After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding black ocean finally showed some changes.
There appeared to be something emitting a faint light in the distance.
“Hurry! The exit should be up ahead!” Huang Fusong telepathically communicated with a hint of excitement.
Just as Li Fan and Dong Fangyao were about to respond, the originally calm Black Sea started to boil.
The Black Viscous Substance, as if it had sprung to life, surged towards Huang Fusong.
While these substances were supposed to be nonexistent and untouchable, at this moment they somehow found a channel to vent.
They flowed into Huang Fusong’s body through his orifices.
“Uh…”
He had an extremely horrified look on his face and his body started to inflate like a balloon.
“Help me!”
Unable to shout, Huang Fusong sent a distress message through his Spirit Consciousness.
But this only accelerated the speed of the Black Substance flowing into his body.
Huang Fusong’s face was twisted in pain.
One by one, Magic Treasures emerged from his body, even the Dissociation Disc was taken out, instantly setting up an Array Technique in his surroundings.
But…
All was in vain!
In a flash, his body had inflated more than ten times its size.
Bang!
In the end, under the terrified gaze of Li Fan and Dong Fangyao, he exploded!
There was no spray of blood or flesh, just a large amount of Black Viscous Substance scattering around.
Logically speaking, any cultivator above the Nascent Soul, even if their physical body was destroyed, could instantly revive as long as the Cave Heaven was not extinguished.
But this time, something that horrified the two of them happened.
After waiting, they still did not see Huang Fusong’s body regenerate.
Instead, they seemed to witness a speck of light shooting into the void, not knowing where it went.
“Is he… dead?” Li Fan froze.
“Huang Fu!” Dong Fangyao gritted his teeth, rushed forward in a desperate attempt to locate any trace of Huang Fusong.
But he only found the Mirror of Celestial Measurement, the Dissociation Disc and other belongings that Huang Fusong had on him. Besides these, there was nothing left.
Replaying what had just happened in his Spirit Consciousness, a guess suddenly came to Li Fan.
This Black Viscous Substance might be…
The physical manifestation of a Divine Soul!
Startled, Li Fan shouted: “Brother Dong, remember, do not disembody your Spirit Consciousness! We should communicate verbally only!”
Understanding what he meant, Dong Fangyao’s face turned pale.
Li Fan flew to Dong Fangyao’s side and collected Huang Fusong’s belongings.
Then he roared, “We can’t stay here any longer. Let’s go!”
He grabbed Dong Fangyao, heading towards the center of the Black Sphere.
Just outside the Black Sphere, the concentration of Spirit Consciousness was quite scattered. Thus, even when they themselves attempted to probe it, no particular reaction was triggered.
But inside this Black Sphere, the concentration of Spirit Consciousness had reached an inconceivable point.
When Huang Fusong rashly communicated using his Spirit Consciousness, it was like poking a beehive, providing an opening for these condensed Spirit Consciousnesses.
Before Huang Fusong could resist, they flowed into his Spirit Consciousness.
Even with the sturdy soul and Spirit Consciousness of a God Transforming cultivator, he still couldn’t bear such a vast amount of Spirit Consciousness pouring into him.
His body instantly exploded, his soul scattered!
Dong Fangyao, saddened and horrified at the same time, broke out in a cold sweat.
If it had been him who had disembodied his Spirit Consciousness first…
Li Fan, leading Dong Fangyao, passed through the glowing layer in the center and entered a relatively empty internal space.
Although it didn’t have a solid Black Spirit Consciousness, many transparent faces were floating around.
Happiness, anger, sorrow, fear.
Plethora of faces, each with a different expression, but none of them had eyes.
Like a school of fish, they lingered and drifted around.
Dong Fangyao was terrified and tried to avoid the transparent faces that drifted past.
But Li Fan casually drew one of the faces close and absorbed it.
A moment later, a blurry image appeared in his Spirit Consciousness.
Mournful and crying sounds came from all directions.
Under the crimson sky, a shadow signifying death swiftly engulfed all living beings it encountered.
But like being blindfolded, he could only make sense of the overall situation through the images.
When the shadow came close, everything turned black and the image in his Spirit Consciousness shattered.
Li Fan carefully contemplated but couldn’t ascertain if his Divine Soul or Spirit Consciousness had gotten stronger.
However, the sudden disappearance of the transparent face did alert the other presences in the area.
They seemed restless and their pace of drifting had picked up.
After thinking for a moment, he didn’t act rashly.
“Let’s go!”
With Dong Fangyao, Li Fan located the exit of the Mystical Realm, in the place where the light was at its brightest at the highest point of the space.
There was a momentary blur before their eyes, and shortly afterwards, they found themselves outside the Mystical Realm.
“Brother Huang Fu!”
Only at this point, did Dong Fangyao realize what happened and burst into tears.
