My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 674: Chapter 640: The Eternal Choice

Within the Misthaven Elysian City, the cultivators instantly became flustered upon witnessing the scene.

Fortunately, since the last time Ten Thousand Immortals Island was suddenly raided and seized by the Five Elders Organization, the level of protection established for the newly rebuilt Misthaven City, was higher than that of ordinary provincial immortal cities. It was enough to rival the level of protection in several central regions. After the radiance of the Protective Array circled the surface, the crack disappeared in an instant.

Before the crowd could catch their breath, the second streak of Fire Stream collided with the protective light shield. The intensity of this time was even more severe than before, and the Cloud City in the sky shook slightly, as if it would fall from the sky the next second.

What chilled the crowd even more was that after the black fireball exploded, it did not completely disappear. Instead, it left behind a sticky, glue-like black substance, which was writhing and eroding the Protective Array. Even from a distance, one could hear the sizzling sound coming from the outer edge of the Array.

“Although the [Heaven Yuan Life Formation] of Misthaven City is strong, it can’t hold on for long.” As an Array Master, Li Fan quickly made a judgment.

While the Array and the black glue-like substance were at a stalemate, countless black rays kept flying and striking the Misthaven Elysian City. Although many of the Fire Streams were knocked down by the purple rays emitted from the Heavenly Sovereign Statue. But even more, they unrelentingly bombarded Misthaven City.

In an instant, Misthaven Elysian City was indeed like a leaf shaking in the wind and rain, in dire straits.

At that moment, Immortal Hongxi finally displayed his determination as the head of the state.

He transformed into a giant that was as tall as the heaven and as grounded as earth, blocking countless black Fire Streams with one hand, and at the same time coldly ordered, “Activate the [Life Array] of the entire Misthaven Ocean region. Draw power from all the surrounding nodes to ensure that Misthaven City remains in the optimal state!”

As he spoke, he projected a Taoist Technique seal, flying towards the highest point of Misthaven City.

As soon as these words came out, it was suddenly quiet in Misthaven City for a while. The majority of cultivators did not understand the meaning of Immortal Hongxi’s words, but a small part who understood the meaning turned pale in that instant.

Li Fan squinted his eyes, looking at the determined Hongxi, and secretly admired, “What courage!”

Having studied the Array technique for many lives, Li Fan was very clear about the general protective system of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Each city that guards will build a Protection Matrix. Within a state, with the Floating Sky City at the core, hundreds of small protection arrays form a medium-size Array that spans across a state’s territory.

And within the territory of the Immortal Alliance, all the medium-sized Arrays of these states join together to form a terrifyingly immense Array that covers nearly half of the Xuanhuang World.

Each layer is progressive and infinitely powerful!

The type of protective Array the Immortal Alliance uses changes every five hundred years. Priorly, on a certain sunken island, he had seen the usage of the [Array of Rivers and Mountains Spanning Thousands of Miles]. But now, what the Immortal Alliance is using is the [Heaven Yuan Life Formation].

Although its protective ability is weaker than the Thousands Miles River Array, it has an irreplaceable function.

That is, to absorb the essence and spirit of the living beings in the Array and enhance the efficacy of the Array!

Therefore, the meaning of Immortal Hongxi is quite apparent.

He wants to fully operate the Heaven Yuan Life Formation, to absorb the essence and spirit of the living beings on the still-surviving islands of the Misthaven Ocean. This is done in order to maintain the safety of the Array of the Misthaven Elysian City.

From a rational point of view, this choice is correct. After all, in front of this catastrophe, aside from the current Misthaven City that can barely withstand it, all other islands are destined to turn into ashes. Using the lives of people who are destined to die to strengthen the Array might create a slim chance of survival for the cultivators in Misthaven City.

But…

Being killed by the Essence of Heaven and Earth, and being killed by the Immortal Alliance’s very own, are two different matters after all.

Not everyone can make this decision, to treat fellow beings’ lives as nothing, it is cruel.

Therefore, after the words of Immortal Hongxi circulated, the cultivators of the Array Strategy Hall remained silent and inactive.

Even Hongxi himself seemed to lack the courage to repeat this command. He watched the protective light shield about to shatter with a gloomy face and did not give the command again.

“Let me help you out.”

Li Fan’s eyes flashed, and his clone flew into the air, also shouting loudly, “What are you waiting for? It’s a matter of life and death now, all you need to do is follow orders! All consequences will be borne by Immortal Hongxi and me!”

Hongxi looked at Li Fan in a little surprise.

The cultivators in the Array Strategy Hall looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and ultimately were forced to make up their minds.

An array of Taoist technique seals flew to various nodes of the [Heaven Yuan Life Formation]. The protective shield suddenly shone brightly.

It was as if time had suddenly stopped, and the next moment, a surge of endless essence rushed from all directions. The purple light shield turned into something substantial and easily blocked the black Fire Streams.

There were no more violent shakes, just a series of steady muffled noises.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, but there wasn’t much excitement on the faces of the surviving cultivators in Misthaven City. Because along with the massive enhancement of the [Heaven Yuan Life Formation], were the intermittent cries of grief and curses on the screen. Also, there were terrifying scenes where humans were instantly dried up from all their essence and turned into skeletons, which could be faintly seen.

It was like a real purgatory on earth, chilling and startling.

“Although it can protect us temporarily, it’s not a long-term solution. All contacts with the headquarters have been cut off. Staying here is nothing more than waiting for death.”

“I am going out to meet this Essence of Heaven and Earth. I’ll leave this place to you!” Despite the horrific scenes everywhere, Immortal Hongxi did not pay any attention. He conveyed his voice to Li Fan and said.

Then he looked at the place where the black meteorite fell in the distance and took a step forward.

His figure flashed and disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.

The departure of Immortal Hongxi once again made the cultivators who had just calmed down begin to feel uneasy. Fortunately, the Emissary was still there, so they could still maintain a bit of tranquility.

Li Fan stared coldly at the center of the Misthaven Ocean, patiently waiting.

Time slowly passed, after all the first wave of black Fire Streams were blocked, the doomsday crisis seemed to have passed. The waves of the Misthaven Ocean gradually calmed down, with only the sticky black substance still adhering to the protective light shield, indicating the signs of the previous catastrophe.

This unusual calm had a hint of the calm before the storm.

Li Fan also perceived a little wrongdoing.

“Black Flame isn’t there?” Feeling the quick return of Immortal Hongxi, Li Fan’s eyes scanned the sky dome, and then looked towards the sea.

Under the seabed, it seemed that some terrible disaster was brewing.

Blup!

A bubble suddenly floated to the sea surface. Followed by the floating corpses of fish that seemed to have been boiled, belly side up.

Then, in an instant, the entire Misthaven Ocean seemed to be boiling.

Countless bubbles kept turning over, along with countless corpses of sea creatures.
