Chapter 285: 265

“However…”
Li Fan couldn’t help furrowing his brow.
“Could it be that Elder Brother Zhang’s purple elixir state cannot be actively triggered?”
The scene of Zhang Qianmo’s body being completely destroyed and then reviving from the purple elixir played back in his mind.
Li Fan couldn’t help but speculate, “Could it be that only through breaking and rebuilding, can such a special state be provoked?”
The subsequent battle seemed to confirm Li Fan’s conjecture.
Zhong Shentong’s relentless attack of seven-color divine light lasted for more than twenty days.
The energy stored in Zhang Qianmo’s purple elixir was finally exhausted.
After Zhang Qianmo was disintegrated by thousands of rays of light, there was no sign of the purple elixir reviving.
“I’m embarrassed!”
A faint smile returned to the old Daoist’s face.
He bowed in the direction of the opponent, who was now reduced to ashes.
His figure gradually faded away.
“So this was the way to handle it. Really…”
Li Fan was inevitably speechless.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qianmo was actually exhausted to death.
Indeed, Elder Brother Zhang was almost invincible in his purple elixir state with his Foundation Establishment Skill.
Therefore, the solution is not allowing him to enter the purple elixir state.
Looking back, the logic seems simple.
However, upon further reflection, Li Fan felt it was easier said than done.
Zhang Qianmo, in his normal state, was a pinnacle Foundation Establishment cultivator.
To suppress him for such a prolonged period of time without killing him and merely exhausting him was something an average Foundation Establishment cultivator could never do.
Even most Golden Core cultivators would not be able to handle this easily.
Currently, Li Fan was unable to replicate this.
However, at least he knows the method to suppress Elder Brother Zhang.
The method is one word, “Exhaustion”.
With a solution in mind, what followed should be relatively easy.
Li Fan considered his own combat power not inferior to the ordinary state of Elder Brother Zhang.
All he needed was to find a method to engage in prolonged battles, then he could exhaust Zhang Qianmo to death in the Fallen Immortal Realm.
The only concern was the time limit for each entry into the Fallen Immortal Realm.
However, Li Fan already had a countermeasure for this.
Out of caution, he had not implemented it yet.
He took this opportunity to test its effectiveness.
Before entering the Fallen Immortal Realm again, Li Fan decided to search who this Zhong Shentong was.
The result surprised him.
Originally, he had assumed that Zhong Shentong would be a prodigy with exceptional talent and cultivation genius.
His youthful appearance despite his gray hair was just a disguise.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Shentong was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He even had a bit taste of blooming late.
This man didn’t start cultivating until he was over sixty and remained an ordinary person.
Just as he was about to reach the end of his life span, he started to consider cultivation.
Finally, on the brink of death, he successfully stepped into the Energy Refining Stage.
He spent decades in the Energy Refining Stage.
Then, barely before his lifespan ran out, he stepped into the Foundation Establishment Phase.
Normally, even if such a person becomes a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they would remain an unknown existence.
Yet, this man understood his life-defining divine technique not long ago.
He can summon a seven-color divine light to fight his enemies.
The light is sharp as a blade and can penetrate anything.
Furthermore, he can transform into light to escape at an extremely fast speed,
even faster than a Nascent Soul Monk.
It was because of this seven-color divine light that Zhong Shentong’s name gradually became renowned.
“Interesting…”
“According to the current information, Zhong Shentong should have comprehended the seven-color divine light in the middle of the 23rd year only last year.”
“Maybe there’s a chance I could see how he did it.”
No wonder Li Fan was thinking this way.
After all, compared to others, Zhong Shentong’s talent was modest at best.
If given the opportunity to steal this chance from him, Li Fan wouldn’t miss it.
The fact was that the seven-color divine light was truly overpowering.
Noting the matter in his mind, Li Fan finally started to carry out his main task.
He began the search for methods of sustained combat.
The results were nothing but a few possibilities.
The first was unique techniques, the second was unique Foundation Establishment Strange Objects.
The third was the use of some special Magic Treasures.
The fourth was using medicinal pills.
Naturally, Li Fan chose the most affordable and efficient plan.
“Top natural treasure of mankind: Lian Henzhi.”
Taking the heaven and earth Natural Treasure with him, Li Fan quietly left the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
As usual, he found a hidden area in the deep sea, where Li Fan began his secluded training.
First, he absorbed the Lian Henzhi.
Then, [Real] transformed into the form of both the Ocean Pearl and the Lian Henzhi.
Li Fan attempted some spirit energy consumption.
To his surprise, under the joint blessings of these two strange objects.
The recovery speed of the spiritual energy within his body was so fast it was scary.
It truly seemed as inexhaustible and inexistent as the waters of the ocean, the hatred of a man.
Now that he had the resources for an enduring battle, Li Fan was greatly encouraged.
After pondering for a moment, he summoned the Blue Flame Spirit, entering a state of absolute reason devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
Then he held a ceremony.
“Blessing Lifespan Xuan Huang Respectful Deity!”
After a long time, Li Fan finally re-entered the Fallen Immortal Realm.
“Junior brother? Junior brother?”
With the familiar voice of Zhang Qianmo, Li Fan opened his eyes.
He and Elder Brother Zhang met eyes.
Who could have thought, the amiable and smiling elder brother from just a second ago, changed his face to a solemn one in the next second, his gaze full of killing intent.
However, he did not act immediately, but instead, appeared at a distance with a flash, closely observing Li Fan.
“You are not my junior brother?”
“Demon? Sky Demon? Or…”
Li Fan, in a state of absolute reason, aiming only to achieve his own goals.
Without wasting words with Zhang Qianmo, the body belonging to Junior Brother Li Chen melted away, revealing Li Fan’s original face.
Then, the Ocean Pearl began to rotate, and the Mist Blade violently slashed out.
Zhang Qianmo, who witnessed this shocking scene with his own eyes, became furious.
“Bold demon, dare to act recklessly in front of me, Zhang Qianmo from the Violet Firmament Sect!”
The Violet Firmament Divine Thunder descended from the sky, intending to strike Li Fan.
But it collided with the Palm of Sky Flipping, and the thunder vanished in an instant.
Without waiting for Zhang Qianmo to react, Li Fan’s attacks followed like a flood.
Li Fan precisely controlled the power of each movement, maximizing the use of spiritual energy while continuously draining Zhang Qianmo’s strength.
The two of them fell into a long state of tension.
The fight lasted for more than thirty days, destroying countless villages and cities along the way.
In the end, Zhang Qianmo fell into an exhausted state before Li Fan did.
And was slain by Li Fan’s sword.
Without Purple Elixir Nirvana.
Zhang Qianmo, dead.
Li Fan, narrowly snatched victory in the battle.
Without the hindrance of Zhang Qianmo, before he had the chance to explore the surrounding area.
A familiar wave arrived.
The duration of his stay in the Fallen Immortal Realm had reached its limit.
“It seems that even if the Blue Flame Spirit is used, one cannot stay in the Fallen Immortal Realm indefinitely.”
With this thought in mind, Li Fan returned to the real world.
After recalling the Blue Flame Spirit, a strong wave of fatigue rushed over him.
The high-intensity battle of more than thirty days was also a big test psychologically.
“Fortunately, the gains were quite rewarding this time.”
“I finally solved the long-troubling problem of Zhang Qianmo. The next time I enter the Fallen Immortal Realm, I shouldn’t be trapped in Ningyuan City anymore, right?”
“Also…”
With a subtle expression, Li Fan checked the text that had appeared in his spirit consciousness.
This should be the reward for killing Zhang Qianmo.
Although it was not the complete “Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique,” it was extremely useful to Li Fan.
It made up for a major weakness of Li Fan.
“Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Jitsu.”
Like the Violet Sky Soul Viewing Art, it was also a secret technique attached to the Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique.
