Chapter 1539: Chapter 1330: Immortal World Dao Yan Catastrophe_2

Han Zhong’s eyes were filled with disbelief, as he vanished into ashes unexpectedly!

“Brother Dao, you…” Li Fan feigned astonishment.

Morubin first conducted a very cautious inspection to ensure not even a fragment of Han Zhong remained, before explaining, “Although I don’t know why this cultivator appeared here, he had already been contaminated.”

“It would be very possible to get infected by making rash contact with him. It’s better to take precautions.”

Li Fan’s expression relaxed slightly, but he was still confused, “Contamination?”

Morubin glanced around as he spoke, “It’s a very troublesome disease. Even Xuanyuan Big Brother would find it quite difficult to handle.”

“It’s probably related to the Tribulation that happened in the Immortal World years ago…”

“But usually, it’s extremely rare to encounter it in the starry sky. This place is the Eye of the Heavenly Beast, so the possibility of contamination is somewhat higher.”

“The concentration of this disease in the Lower Realm Star Sea is extremely low. It has been like this for ten thousand years, and it hasn’t changed when I recently checked while traveling through the Star Sea. However, at the Eye of the Heavenly Beast, where vast Star Domains are observed, once the scale is stretched to a certain limit, regardless of how low the concentration is, it will truly reveal itself.” As Morubin spoke, he laid down several Forbidden Formations around them, seemingly specialized against this void disease.

Li Fan pondered the implications of Morubin’s words.

“If the contagion probability increases due to the expanded area of observation… doesn’t that mean merely observing it can cause spread?” Li Fan was shocked.

Morubin nodded, “Exactly. That’s also the reason why I didn’t hesitate to eradicate him immediately. Fortunately, the probability of the disease spreading through ordinary means is also low. I just checked and there is no spread. This place is temporarily safe.”

“Such a strange mode of transmission, and it’s related to the Immortal Tribulation of the Upper World…” Li Fan looked somewhat worried.

“What happens after one is infected with this symptom? That trapped cultivator just now seemed to show no signs of abnormalities?”

Morubin once again cast several Forbidden Formations.

The originally tightly wrapped “transparent bubble,” barely able to fit two or three people, began to slowly expand as if being inflated.

“The reason there were no abnormalities is that the disease was still dormant within his body and had not erupted. If you made contact, you would realize how terrible it is. Both the upper limit of the Divine Soul and the life essence will be eroded. The degree of erosion would deepen with the severity of the infection. In the end, though not dead, one would become as fragile as a paper person.”

“Even a gentle breeze could blow one’s soul away. Of course, before that, one would have to endure all the agony brought by the reduction of life essence.”

Morubin sighed, “Just imagine, other people’s whispers are like thunder to you, causing intense pain to your Divine Soul, tearing you apart. An unintentional touch from someone else is like a violent collision, mashing flesh and blood…”

“The normal world becomes an apocalyptic scene of constant horror and Catastrophe. By then, death might seem like a release.”

“But because of this disease, until it has eroded you to the limit, to maintain its own spread, it paradoxically sustains the host’s life. You can’t live nor die by your own wish…” Morubin shook his head slightly.

“So, this disease is truly troublesome,” Li Fan said, but in his Spirit Consciousness, the image of the Celestial Doctor collecting the dark qi from the deceased Han Zhong with a Jade Bottle emerged.

“If it were to spread in the Xuanhuang World, that would be troublesome,” Li Fan’s tone was inexplicably serious.

“Ten thousand years have passed, and this disease has hardly spread. Even if it has a tendency to spread in the Lower Realm, it would need an extremely long time,” Morubin offered comfort casually.

His attention was focused on the Eye of the Heavenly Beast here.

“This transparent space, is it the Eye of the Heavenly Beast? It seems that Xuantian is not here either,” Li Fan felt a bit disappointed.

Morubin shook his head, “This is just an observation point of the Eye of the Heavenly Beast. Do you know how the world’s insects perceive through myriads of small eyes to form their true vision? The Heavenly Beast does the same.”

Li Fan suddenly understood.

As Morubin kept casting spells, the transparent bubble continued to violently shake and shrink.

As if intending to expel the two of them.

Pop!

The bubble burst, and in a moment of dizziness, Li Fan found himself in a peculiar space the next moment.

It was like one amongst countless floating bubbles on the ocean.

On its curving boundaries, innumerable scenes of other similar bubbles flashed past.

Li Fan could even faintly see himself and Morubin in those outer bubbles.

However, the “other himself’s” appearance, attire, expressions, and gestures were all different from his true self.

Yet there was an inexplicably familiar feeling.

Countless “selves,” their gazes intersecting, gave Li Fan an exceptionally strange sensation.

“It’s just an abnormality caused by the collective observance of countless Eyes of the Heavenly Beast.”

“Just stick to your true self, and you won’t be confused.”

Mo Rubing seemed accustomed to the strange scenery here, surveying as if he was searching for something amidst the myriad bubbles.

“Xuanyuan Big Brother didn’t give me the method to control the Array Technique of the Eye of the Heavenly Beast. Lucky for me, I’ve been here a few times before. I can only rely on this Death Method to search slowly.” Mo Rubing was somewhat helpless.

In this space, the number of Eyes of the Heavenly Beast seemed infinite.

It felt as if they were extremely close to each other yet far apart. Divine Sense could not lock onto them, relying only on the naked eye for observation.

And the countless bubbles were not fixed in place.

From time to time, like waves slapping, countless bubbles carried out irregular diffusion movements, changing their own positions.

As a result, most of the previous observations were almost entirely invalidated.

Despite such difficulty, Mo Rubing showed no trace of despair, observing intently and focused.

He also reminded, “Within the Eye of the Heavenly Beast, almost its own laws are formed. You don’t have to worry about the end of your lifespan. Even if you stay here for ten thousand years, you will not die of old age.”

“If the day when your life is due, and you really do not wish to die, you could hide in here. Although it can’t guarantee eternal life, surviving for a few thousand years more shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Li Fan nodded.

“This Tian Beast is indeed so unique.”

“Is it said that its size is comparable to a province of Xuanhuang World? Could it be that King of Mystic Sky brought it back from the Immortal World?” Li Fan asked.

As expected, Mo Rubing nodded.

“Yes, and no. At first, Xuanyuan Big Brother thought it was just an inanimate object, an ordinary Jade Pendant. Unexpectedly, upon contact with water, it actually developed the breath of a living creature.”

“Afterward, nurtured with great care, it grew bigger and bigger. Even its combat strength increased day by day.”

“Shamefully, if it really came to a life-and-death struggle, perhaps even I wouldn’t be a match for this Tian Beast.”

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Mo Rubing’s eyes.

Then perhaps thinking of the Tian Beast that had long since died, its bones having turned into mountains and rivers, a heavy killing intent flashed in Mo Rubing’s eyes again.

Li Fan did not continue the conversation.

Silence fell once again.

Li Fan followed Mo Rubing’s example, searching for possible clues amidst the countless bubbles.

Although there were as many bubbles here as stars in the sky, numberless and constantly changing.

But Li Fan had the Stone of Transformation to bolster him.

Each bubble was different from the others after all.
