On the way back, Sun Luyuan could clearly sense the restless stirring of the Boundless Mirror in his arms, along with his younger brother Sun Luyao's familiar, out-of-control roars. He forcibly suppressed it until he safely returned before releasing it.
"Brother, give it to quickly! I can't stand it anymore!"
The mirror surface shook violently without cease. Sun Luyao's misty black shadow seed to be ceaselessly battered by a hurricane, twisting and distorting.
"Calm down!"
Sun Luyuan gave a low shout. He skillfully offered a drop of his own essence blood, which eased his brother's frenzy.
Only then did he take out the mirror retrieved from the ruins of the Hundred Stones Winter.
The aura of the sa origin and lineage confird that the main body of this mirror was a fragnt of the Boundless Mirror. Yet it had been reforged into a separate treasure.
Sun Luyuan carefully broke the remaining restrictions on the mirror before tossing it to his brother.
With the bindings gone, the darkness greedily drifted above the mirror.
A beam of dim light spewed from Sun Luyao's mouth, corroding this ancient relic.
As the mirror gradually vanished within the black light, the mirror to which Sun Luyao was bound, that sowhat aged and damaged Boundless Mirror—began to change at a visible speed.
Traces left by the years slowly faded away. The sense of antiquity disappeared, replaced instead by an aura of having endured countless hardships and vicissitudes.
The surface of the Boundless Mirror surged from ti to ti with a luster that made one's heart palpitate.
Even Sun Luyuan felt a slight chill in his mind.
"So this is the might of an immortal artifact..." he thought to himself, growing even more expectant of his brother's performance once he awakened from the devouring process.
anwhile, the true master of the Boundless Mirror—Li Fan's clone hidden within it, could witness the transformation of the Boundless Mirror far more directly.
Or rather, its restoration.
The originally incomplete [Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form] grand formation was slowly being filled in.
As if it had gained a core, an indescribable wondrous power flowed forth like a gentle stream, constantly pouring out from the formation.
It nourished the dilapidated body of the Boundless Mirror.
This was also why, in the eyes of outsiders, the immortal artifact appeared brand new in the blink of an eye.
Even Li Fan's clone benefited in the process. It advanced from a re clone toward becoming a true soul fragnt.
Li Fan even had the feeling that if he continued to absorb the energy from the Boundless Mirror in this way, given enough ti, this clone might grow even stronger than his main body's divine soul!
One must know that Li Fan had reached his current realm step by step, with an extrely solid foundation.
Leaving aside the theoretical accumulation from multiple reincarnations, just the Five Elents Great Cave-Heaven and the Xuanhuang Life-Death Transformative Phenonon alone represented the essence of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Yet on such a foundation, the peak of Dao Integration realm could actually be caught up to by the energy within this re remnant mirror!
Even if it was only in terms of the divine soul, it still shook Li Fan profoundly.
He let out the sa sigh as Sun Luyuan: "So this is the might of an immortal artifact?"
The energy surging within the Boundless Mirror resembled order, yet also vitality.
However, just when Li Fan thought it would completely repair the Boundless Mirror, the mirror suddenly fell to the ground out of control.
The mirror surface projected a mass of light and shadow, enveloping the underground secret chamber.
Scenes flashed by rapidly.
The prophetic images within caused both Sun Luyuan and Li Fan's hearts to tremble violently.
The peaceful Xuanhuang land was engulfed in the flas of war.
Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance clashed fiercely with another unknown force.
Arrows of light streaked across the sky in endless flight. Wherever they struck, earth-shattering explosions erupted.
A towering giant radiating golden light clashed fiercely with a black-haired, bare-chested man, locked in a battle impossible to separate.
The shockwaves from their power even caused the white mist barrier between heaven and earth to twist and fracture.
What made hearts tremble even more was that, amid this battlefield, there stood another figure clad in black imperial robes, his face impossible to discern.
He towered above everyone else.
Opposite him lood yet another indistinct silhouette.
Boom!
As if the deduction had reached its extre limit, the scenes projected by the Boundless Mirror suddenly warped and converged into a single point.
Then they erupted in a violent burst of white light.
When the radiance faded, only a dead, pitch-black void remained.
Crack!
Just as the Boundless Mirror's surface had begun to show signs of recovery, another fissure appeared.
Sun Luyao let out a miserable scream. His black shadow was forcibly drawn back into the mirror.
"Brother!"
Sun Luyuan snapped out of his shock in an instant. His expression changed drastically as he reached for the Boundless Mirror.
Yet the mont he drew near, his hand recoiled as if scorched by blazing flas.
Sun Luyuan stared gravely at his outstretched right hand.
In that brief span, it seed to have endured thousands of years. The flesh had withered, skin shriveled, and deep wrinkles surged forth.
It was not only his physical body.
Sun Luyuan felt that a portion of his divine soul had genuinely experienced the relentless passage of ti, forever altered beyond restoration.
If even an accidental touch produced such an effect, one could imagine what had happened to Li Fan's clone inside the Boundless Mirror.
Earlier, when he witnessed the Boundless Mirror spontaneously deducing the future of the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan—aside from his shock, had wanted to examine it more closely.
But then a sudden, lethal sense of crisis welled up within him, leaving him no ti to dwell on anything else.
This obliterating power lurked in the deepest core of the Boundless Mirror. Even Li Fan's clone, who had largely mastered the mirror, had detected not the slightest trace of it before it erupted.
And when it ca, it arrived with such ferocious, explosive force.
Like the erosion of endless ages, the Boundless Mirror which had only just regained so vitality after absorbing the fragnt—suddenly endured the vicissitudes of countless calamities in an instant, decaying once more.
Even the core grand formation, [Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form], was ravaged as if swept by a violent gale.
Parts of its once-complete structure beca fragnted again.
Li Fan's clone naturally could not escape unscathed.
Already rely a wisp of remnant soul, it quickly flickered like a candle in the wind, on the verge of complete dissipation.
Fortunately, two factors saved him.
First, he had previously refined the Boundless Mirror through formation techniques, essentially claiming most of it as his own. Dwelling within the mirror, he could borrow its power and gain a asure of resistance.
Second, at the critical mont when he sensed his clone was about to perish, Li Fan instinctively recited the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra.
Though it could not recover what had already been worn away, it greatly slowed the rate at which his clone was being erased in this storm.
After enduring bitterly for a long ti, the terrifying calamity raging within the Boundless Mirror finally began to subside.
Li Fan realized it had not truly vanished.
Instead, it had retreated once more into the depths of the Boundless Mirror, lying dormant again.
Only then did Sun Luyuan's anxious voice slowly reach him.
"Brother, what happened to you?"
Sun Luyao, however, had suffered such severe damage that he was too weak to respond.
Seeing this, Sun Luyuan reacted swiftly.
He imdiately carried the Boundless Mirror into the Sun family's essence blood pool.
Though called an essence blood pool, it carried no trace of blood stench. Instead, it brimd with the fragrant aroma of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The pool water was not crimson but a dreamy, iridescent seven-colored radiance, like flowing celestial light.
Soaking within it, Li Fan's now-aged clone finally felt a asure of relief.
"Why is the consumption so rapid?" Sun Luyuan was startled to see how quickly the essence blood pool water changed color.
Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and left, clearly going to gather more essence blood.
