Chapter 1729: Breaking the Ban on All Saint Fights

The moment Suo heard Li Fan's voice, he once again felt that invisible control.

"Now, all the Saints of the Primordial Immortal Realm believe you are dead, which is perfect for weaving your web and making your arrangements in secret."

"You have three more chances."

"If you still can't successfully capture another Saint..."

Before Li Fan could finish speaking, his figure faded away, leaving Suo standing there with a sinking feeling.

At the moment of his previous demise, Suo had indeed not feared death. But now, having been brought back to life, he had lost that courage.

"That's well put. Even an ant clings to life. As long as I'm alive, there's a chance."

Suo carefully examined his own state, finding it increasingly incredible.

"Being resurrected is understandable. But the Suo Net, which I spent countless years meticulously weaving, was clearly consumed in my previous battle with Ta. Yet, it has reappeared perfectly intact with my revival. This..."

"Could it be?" Suo instantly thought of the only possibility, his eyes flickering.

On the surface, however, he dared not show any abnormality, as his very existence now hinged on the other party's whim.

"If that's the case, it's not really a shameful thing."

Suo's thoughts churned, but he quickly suppressed the numerous distractions and began to strategize.

"Ta!"

"Now I am completely hidden in the shadows, with three life-or-death chances where I don't fear death. I will surely kill you!"

Suo cast a dark gaze upon the chaotic Primordial Immortal Realm.

He could sense that Ta was healing his injuries while evading the encirclement of the other Saints.

His remnants from the previous life were turning into nourishment for Ta.

"Eat up, eat as much as you want, you'll have to spit it all out in the end!"

Unnoticed by the other Saints, Suo began weaving a dark net, slowly enveloping the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Naturally, all of Suo's actions fell under Li Fan's gaze.

Li Fan could even perceive some of Suo's thoughts.

"It seems he's realized I control the transformation of truth and falsehood," Li Fan chuckled.

If he had previously been startled by the exposure of his true nature, he now had the qualification and strength not to care. In his eyes, his only opponents were now Xing and Shen.

"And I will use the Saints of the Primordial Immortal Realm as pawns to uncover the secret of the Gods' fall."

Li Fan's plan was to go back to the beginning of the Shan Hai realm's split consciousness to find the truth behind the true God's demise back then.

But naturally, he wouldn't rush in headlong.

"The strength of the divided Shan Hai realm is roughly equivalent to Xing."

"Even with Sun Piaomiao's ability, he was captured without resistance. I still lack a lot. However, these Saints of the Primordial Immortal Realm can be used by me."

Li Fan sat cross-legged in the void. In his contemplation, infinite light and shadow suddenly radiated from above his head.

These were all memories of the cycles of reincarnation within Shan Hai.

"The Great Dao of Truth and Falsehood lies within them."

"By understanding the truth and perceiving the false, I can control the Saints."

Giving Suo three lives' worth of time wasn't Li Fan suddenly becoming merciful. Rather, creating one Saint had already pushed Li Fan to his current limit.

He needed to deepen his understanding of the Great Dao of Truth and Falsehood further before he could manifest a second Saint simultaneously.

"Let's see who's faster."

"It's like bargaining with a tiger. If my plan is exposed, then only 'Reversion to Truth' can be tried again."

Feeling a slight pressure, Li Fan's consciousness was completely immersed in the endless memories of the past.

The Saints of the Primordial Realm were largely similar in strength. Furthermore, they were all extremely cautious beings.

Therefore, battles often spanned thousands of years.

Although the Primordial Immortal Realm appeared chaotic at present, only a few Saints were actually making moves. The vast majority of Saints remained hidden, quietly awaiting their opportunity.

Ta, indeed worthy of being the one who could kill Suo, managed to turn danger into safety time and again, despite being besieged.

Not only did his injuries gradually recover during the encirclement, but having absorbed Suo's essence, his strength implicitly advanced further.

Whenever the towering and all-encompassing Ta appeared, it was gradually accompanied by a dim net.

The net would first seek out the enemy, and then Ta would suppress them.

As time passed, Ta became increasingly composed in facing the Saints' siege.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, many Saints chose to give up. However, two Saints, Guang and Hua, continued to pursue relentlessly.

Knowing that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for the battle, at this moment, the two Saints simultaneously unleashed all their divine abilities in one final attempt.

The Primordial Immortal Realm instantly plunged into darkness.

All light converged into a single point.

With the disappearance of light, time itself seemed to stand still across heaven and earth. What followed was absolute coldness and deathly silence.

Ta, caught in the net, emitted faint ripples to counter this sudden darkness.

But it was as if a pair of invisible giant hands were wiping away all the influence he attempted to exert on the outside world.

As the two Saints joined forces, the still incomplete net surrounding Ta gradually withered.

The point of infinite light suddenly leaped forth, colliding fiercely with Ta's horizontal and vertical lines.

Light eroded along Ta's body, as if the entire tower had been set ablaze by light.

In the Primordial Immortal Realm, which was plunged into absolute darkness, all the Saints silently watched the magnificent scene unfolding in the sky.

Facing the light's erosion, Ta repeatedly tried to use his own rules to suppress it.

But something in the ethereal realm consistently blocked him.

This caused his countermeasures to repeatedly fall short.

It seemed that under the siege of the two Saints, Ta was already in a dead end.

However, just as the lines representing Ta's Great Dao of Suppression were completely engulfed by the light, a sudden change occurred.

Amidst the boundless light and fire, towers unexpectedly rose without any warning.

The light boiled, trying to engulf them.

Yet, it was as if a paintbrush was continuously depicting and emphasizing Ta's image.

Not only was Ta not submerged by the light, but he instead imprisoned and suppressed large areas of light.

Four thin lines, horizontal and vertical, silently appeared.

Connecting to each other, they formed a siege, sealing off the battlefield.

Hua, who had been hidden in the dark, also seemed to be forced to reveal himself. He appeared as a wisp of free-floating mist.

The mist tried to escape, colliding with the surrounding blockade lines. The moment of contact, the lines did indeed quickly dissipate.

However, immediately outside the forcibly broken siege, a new siege arose.

They layered endlessly, one after another.

Although Hua could instantly break through one, or even a thousand, he found it difficult to completely break through all the defending sieges in a short time.

He was utterly contained within the battlefield, unable to escape.

"It seems Ta has been hiding something all these years."

"Heh, who hasn't? Guang and Hua were a bit rash."

"But I don't think they'll necessarily fall directly like Suo. However, severe injury is unavoidable."

"I just wonder, who was it that previously severely wounded Suo? If Suo had been at full strength, Ta probably wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily."

"Having gained Suo's essence, Ta's Dao Principles are even more stable. It's even possible he could break the Shan Hai prohibition."

In the darkness, various intentions exchanged silently.

While awaiting the outcome of the battle, they were also constantly ready to act.

Even as Guang and Hua gradually became unable to sustain themselves, the battle continued for another thousand years.

In the eternal night, the light grew weaker.

The free-floating mist also diminished in size.

Although Ta maintained an advantage, his consumption was visibly immense.

The lines representing the Dao Principles of suppression were no longer as stable, showing even slight distortions.

After an unknown period, the final act of this long battle finally arrived.

The boundless light separated from its concentrated point.

The Primordial Immortal Realm returned to brightness.

A disheveled figure was exposed under Ta's heavy lines of suppression.

Light flames surged, facing the heavily oppressed Ta, yet remaining fearless.

"As long as there is light, I exist!" "You cannot defeat me!"

Ta did not hesitate, decisively and slowly engulfing the surging light and shadow.

As if being scorched, Ta's lines, already on the verge of collapse, subtly became illusory.

Only a tiny wisp of mist remained, which now advanced instead of retreating.

It transformed into a single finger, pointing distantly at a point.

Like a popped bubble, Ta endured for a moment before shattering with a rumble.

"What a pity! So close!"

"Facing two opponents alone was still a bit too much."

"To endure for so long was beyond our expectations. This battle ended with all three severely wounded."

As if seeing extremely delicious prey, the long-waiting Saints throughout heaven and earth began to stir.

Each locked onto their next desired target.

It was at this moment...

A dim net suddenly descended from the sky,

enveloping Ta, Guang, and Hua!

"This is..."

"Suo's."

The Saints were naturally familiar with this net, making their hearts even more shaken.

"How is this possible? Suo's demise was something we all witnessed!"

The Saints were instantly filled with doubt and alarm, each beginning to deduce.

However, they found nothing.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Suo, who had been planning for a long time, began to reel in his net.

At this moment, Suo felt an unprecedented surge of exhilaration.

It turned out that being in the shadows, overlooked by everyone, and silently laying plans was such a gratifying experience!

Precisely because he was unconsciously ignored by all the Saints, he was able to capture the three Saints in one fell swoop.

Within the shattered tower body, a figure was vaguely visible.

Trembling uncontrollably, he stared in disbelief at the net that imprisoned him. Guang and Hua were also stunned by the sudden turn of events.

They vaguely sensed an air of conspiracy.

After a moment of shock, the three Saints, who had been fighting each other, simultaneously chose to combine their strength, intent on tearing the net apart.

Boundless light, shape-shifting mist, horizontal and vertical lines...

Colliding fiercely, they instantly expanded Suo's net, making it swell dozens of times its size.

The net's lines became twisted and transparent.

The terrifying power unleashed by the three Saints' desperate, life-or-death strike was enough to drag Suo down with them!

Light vanished, mist dispersed, and lines crumbled.

As for Suo's net, which had only recently appeared, it seemed to catch fire, gradually burning away to nothing.

All four Saints fell!

This tragic scene caused the observing Saints of the Primordial Immortal Realm to feel a stir of trepidation.

But soon, they fixed their gaze on the remnants of the Saints scattered across heaven and earth.

Just as they were about to make their move, something happened that startled them profoundly.

Suo, who had clearly dissipated...

had actually returned to the world!

The burned net suddenly reappeared.

It instantly enveloped all the remnants of Ta, Guang, and Hua.

They offered no further struggle as Suo's net tightened, capturing them completely.

Suo, having accomplished all this, did not linger. He simply offered an enigmatic smile to the observing Saints throughout heaven and earth, then vanished from their sight, as if having fallen once more.

"This..."

"What kind of divine ability is this?"

They had never imagined that Suo, the first to fall, was actually the one orchestrating events from behind the scenes. And the divine abilities Suo displayed in this battle far surpassed what the other Saints had previously known of him.

These strange occurrences made even the other Saints seem untrustworthy.

The Saints quickly hid their traces. However, with the undercurrents already stirring in the Primordial Immortal Realm, there was no way for things to calm down again.

"Well done."

The remnants of Ta, Guang, and Hua were all absorbed by Li Fan through the transformation of truth and falsehood.

Amidst surging light and shadow, the three reborn Saints emerged one after another.

Just like Suo's initial reaction, they first showed a hint of confusion.

But they quickly understood their situation.

"So that's it! Losing to the Great Dao of Truth and Falsehood, my defeat was not unjust," Ta said with a glance at Suo, a sense of relief in his voice.

"The Great Dao of Truth and Falsehood..." Seeing Ta directly voice what they had secretly suspected, Guang and Hua's bodies trembled slightly.

They had already accepted their fate.

"So, such a Dao truly exists within Shan Hai!"

They understood that even if they resisted and committed suicide, it would be futile.

The other party could reshape them with a single thought. There was no escape.

Li Fan's figure was nowhere to be seen, only his faint voice echoed.

It was the same instruction he had given Suo earlier.

"Let the Primordial Immortal Realm become even more chaotic."

However, this time, another sentence was added:

"I wish to go to the time of Shan Hai's consciousness division."

Even though they had already guessed Li Fan's objective, hearing it directly now made the Saints' bodies tremble slightly.

Contending with Shan Hai for the chance to become a god was the lifelong pursuit of all Saints in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

They were no exception.

But with Li Fan's appearance, it seemed none of them had a chance anymore.

Suo, Ta, Guang, Hua...

The four Saints together stirred up trouble in the Primordial Immortal Realm.

First, Suo appeared, attracting the attention of the other Saints.

When Suo was besieged and on the verge of death, Ta, Guang, and Hua suddenly appeared. Saints who had clearly fallen reappeared in full strength.

The same tactic, surprisingly, achieved miraculous results once again.

Under Li Fan's command, several more beings were added.

As more and more Dao paths accumulated in the Great Dao Reversion Palace, the capture of Saints from the Primordial Immortal Realm became increasingly smooth.

Conspiracy and trickery were no longer needed; he simply crushed them with overwhelming power.

Soon, only seven Primordial Saints, including the Three Saints of Lianshan, remained in resistance.

The other twenty-eight Primordial Saints were all under Li Fan's control.

"This net is strong enough now."

Li Fan sat cross-legged in the void, looking around.

The twenty-eight Saints revolved around him like stars.

The Dao paths of all the Saints, even their thoughts, were under his watchful gaze.

"What immense power! What a pity..."

"Before Xing and Shen, it would still collapse at a touch."

Li Fan pondered for a moment in his mind, then shook his head slightly.

"Shan Hai Saints are still products of Shan Hai. No matter how many are stacked, it's useless."

"The transformation of truth and falsehood can indeed reverse the arrival of a true god, but it cannot prevent the trend of returning to the true god. If I stay here much longer, the transformation of truth and falsehood will no longer protect me and will revert to the true god's arrival. There will be no chance to start over."

"However, this power is enough to cross the boundary."

Li Fan suddenly stood up, attempting to take a step forward.

The process of shaping the Saints was also the process of refining the transformation of truth and falsehood.

During the chaos in the Primordial Immortal Realm, Li Fan's understanding of the Great Dao of Truth and Falsehood also advanced by leaps and bounds.

"The various Daos of Shan Hai are the cornerstone of truth and falsehood."

"The more I master and know, the more proficient I naturally become with the Great Dao of Truth and Falsehood."

With the twenty-eight Saints ensnared, the ethereal truth and falsehood became increasingly tangible and concrete.

It was as if he could see the boundary of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

The transformation of truth and falsehood enveloped Li Fan and the twenty-eight Saints caught in the net.

They passed through gently.

The next moment, the Primordial Immortal Realm was no more.

In a dark void, two colossal beings seemed to be feeding.
