The opportunity to reverse the plight was right before him, and after observing for a while, it seemed that nothing unusual was around the Shadow of Nameless. The Nameless Immortal who had just proven the Dao should have gone far.
He could no longer suppress the stirring within him, summoned the remaining strength, and charged towards that silhouette.
He thought the turning point had e, yet he never imagined...
Time returned to the present, and he looked at the two isolated Heavenly Pillars ahead. After careful observation, he confirmed he wasn’t mistaken. His heart trembled involuntarily.
"One of them should be the South Immortal Sky Pillar."
"And the other one..."
"Is actually suppressing the Nameless True Immortal who just proved the Dao not long ago! This!"
"Who on earth is this person!"
The solitary entities.
Recalling the words he had heard earlier, a myriad of thoughts flashed through his Spirit Consciousness instantly.
Though only recently revived, and his body being merely the Nameless Tao Shadow, he was still confident in his strength. Being captured and suppressed so easily...
The opponent’s power was unfathomable!
"During the tens of thousands of years I was severely injured and trapped, what on earth happened in the external world? Could the Immortal World have been rebuilt?"
With countless thoughts, he could only bury them deep inside at this moment.
Terrifying might enveloped him, suppressing him pletely. Even speaking, transmitting thoughts was a luxury.
During his anxiety, a towering figure suddenly appeared in the arena.
Being suppressed, he couldn’t see the person’s appearance clearly. However, the aura as vast as the Mountain Sea emanating from them reminded him of the two Immortal Emperors he had once seen.
The figure wasted no words, grabbing him once more.
He only felt his Nameless Tao Shadow body tumultuously erupt in an instant.
Although the Tao Shadow was constructed with the power fluctuation of the Nameless True Immortal who proved the Path of [Ji], it was merely leveraging that impact. Essentially, it was the power contained in this vast [Form of Living Beings] that he had personally crafted.
The impact of Nameless proving the Dao was like a mighty Hammer crashing down, etching out a Seal.
However, at this moment, the Taoist Principles of vitality gathered within the Seal were uncontrollably flowing towards the figure ahead. After circling there, they returned. Being calm once more, they also seemed to have been sorted and collected by someone, being more "focused."
He realized that numerous Taoist Principles of vitality from the outside world were also madly surging towards him.
"Barely adequate." The figure in front shook their head, seemingly a bit dissatisfied. Yet, they continued to manipulate the myriad of Taoist Principles of vitality, relentlessly filling and saturating.
"Is this... treating me as a Heavenly Pillar?" Being well-informed, he quickly detected the opponent’s intent.
The subsequent experiences seemingly confirmed his speculation.
The vast Taoist Principles of vitality, gathered from unknown sources, continued inexhaustibly. The external pressure wasn’t alleviating for a moment; it was even slowly increasing.
He didn’t doubt that under such oppressive force, even a True Immortal would instantly be reduced to dust.
Thinking of being sealed in a Heavenly Pillar in the future, never to Transcend, its misery would far surpass the recent tens of thousands of years. His heart was filled with despair and fear.
A True Immortal, Beyond the mundane, should not have such vulgar emotions. As someone who once was Nameless, he should have been above such a sorry state, but with the arrival of the Great Calamity of yore, the part of him that was "Nameless True Immortal" was essentially dead.
The remainder was merely a regular cultivator desperately struggling for survival.
Understanding this point, he knew he couldn’t continue like this.
Once the Heavenly Pillar was pletely formed, no matter how formidable his Divine Technique was, it would most likely be futile.
Gritting his teeth, making a resolute decision, the mask on his face shattered with a boom.
The binding forces around him suddenly dissipated.
He exclaimed in panic: "Senior, hold on!"
"The Governor Immortal of the Archaic Star Domain, Situ Xing, pays respect here!"
...
"Governor Immortal."
Upon hearing Xing Wuque’s words, the suppressing force of Li Fan relaxed momentarily.
However, he did not release him but quietly scrutinized the other closely.
The sudden explosion of the Bronze Mask earlier almost caught him off guard. Who would have expected that something seemingly in his grasp could erupt with such a great force of resistance.
Fortunately, he urgently called upon the phantom of Lord Guardian Hill, continuing to increase the pressure. It prevented any flaws from showing.
"Still using the Celestial Net Emperor’s means in these years."
"What, does this Governor Immortal intend to govern over my head alone?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan spoke with ridicule.
Since his current understanding of the former Immortal World wasn’t very clear, he decided not to get too involved in this area, avoiding exposure. Li Fan straightforwardly brought the opponent into his fabricated deception: "Now the Immortal World is in ruins, countless Immortals are either dead or have fled."
"You as a Governor Immortal of a past dynasty can’t manage me, the Mountain King. Hmph!"
In just a few words, it was enough for the other to make a rough guess about his background.
With the people of the Sea of the Northern Stars, he could use the so-called "Hidden Emperor" identity. But extracting information from this Governor Immortal required a different identity.
And indeed, upon hearing Li Fan’s words, Situ Xing speculated in the direction he led.
"Ruling as a mountain king. With the Tao Yan Tide cascading down, even the Lower Realm struggles to survive. Only leaving isolated islands. And this person suppressing the Nameless Immortal, turning into a Heavenly Pillar, is to strengthen the resistance against the Tao Yan..." Situ Xing’s thoughts spun rapidly, yet a chill gradually enveloped his heart.
He had initially thought that the name of his true identity could somehow cause concern in the other. It now seemed...
