Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 401 Put yourself to death and survive

Time flies, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye...

"Why isn't he leaving yet? Are we really going to be trapped here forever?" Lan Xian wondered, squatting down not far from the cave entrance and observing the outside world.

Ever since the withered old man captured the two of them, he has stood at the exit, as if petrified, and has not moved since.

However, they all knew very well that if anyone dared to approach, that creature would instantly revive and annihilate all enemies!

Fortunately, he didn't come in or attack proactively; it was more like an instinct, an obsession, to guard the ancient cave.

"We need to take the initiative, or we'll really be trapped here."

Lin Fan, with a solemn expression, arrived at the depths of the ancient cave and took out the Human Emperor Banner from the Chaos Ancient Pool. It shimmered with dark light and exuded a powerful aura.

He had placed his weapons here earlier, intending to use this precious land to temper them and further improve their quality.

However, it seems to have little effect now. In the short term, there is no way to allow a supreme artifact to absorb the power of creation and be upgraded to a celestial artifact.

But there was nothing they could do. The place they were in was extremely remote, and if they waited for someone to come and rescue them, they didn't know when they would be able to escape.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, just as Lin Fan and Lan Xian were about to charge out, the ancient cave resounded, faintly emitting a divine sound of the Great Dao.

It was like a scripture, sealed away for countless years, passed down through eternity, and now being recited in this world.

"what happens?"

Lin Fan and Lan Xian exchanged a glance, finding it very strange and bizarre, the first time they had encountered such a situation in so many days.

Subsequently, the entire cave underwent a strange change. Various axe marks and sword marks on the stone walls glowed, creating a tremendous pressure that blurred the space.

Lin Fan was taken aback and, together with Lan Xian, attacked simultaneously, using their supernatural powers and secret techniques to resist this terrifying pressure.

"Damn it, the profound mysteries of the Dao contained in the pattern are manifesting even more." Lin Fan said with a serious expression, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

Chaos surged, and ancient carvings appeared on the cave walls. They were very mysterious, depicting both ancient people and various strange beasts that had never been seen before.

Accompanied by the scriptures, they came to life, as if they had come alive, releasing a vast and terrifying pressure.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, in one of the carvings, an ancient person moved, holding a sharp sword, and unleashed a sword aura, slashing out.

The two were dumbfounded; it was unbelievable!
The sword energy was like a rainbow, piercing through the void.

"when!"

Lin Fan summoned the Immortal Cauldron, sparks flying everywhere, blocking the attack, but his arm was numb and blood was spilling from his tiger's mouth.

"A mere carving possesses such divine power?!"

He was deeply shocked and couldn't imagine how skilled the people back then must have been, or how terrifying the patterns they carved must have been.

As for Lan Xian, she didn't dare to show her face and stayed close to Lin Fan's back. She didn't have that kind of treasure to resist.

It should be noted that Lin Fan's physical body and strength were incredibly formidable, yet he was still injured, which demonstrates the power of that sword strike.

At the same time, they were a little dumbfounded. If the sculpture was of a real immortal, could it possibly emanate divine light?

"It's not impossible; the engraving contains the true meaning of the Great Dao!" Lan Xian judged.

Of course, if such power were to appear, it would surely be world-destroying and beyond the ability of ordinary cultivators to withstand.

"Ow..."

The next moment, the ancestors retreated, and a white tiger appeared, letting out a roar that shook the ancient cave and caused the sky to collapse and the earth to crack.

The murderous aura was too strong, like a raging storm, and the terrifying metal aura was rampaging through the cave.

In an instant, Lin Fan coughed up blood, even donning his immortal armor, which glowed as he fought against the white tiger. Outside, the Fourth Elder traveled rapidly, traversing various mountain ranges and even venturing into several dangerous areas to investigate.

"Where did those two little ones go? There's no sign of them at all!"

"Huh, what a powerful sound..." The Fourth Elder's expression changed. His cultivation was close to that of a Supreme Being, but even he felt a chill upon hearing this beast's roar.

Moreover, he has lived for a long time and naturally knows something about the strange things on the island. Some places are extraordinary, and even a supreme being would be in danger if he went there.

"I just hope the two little ones don't go to such dangerous places..."

The fourth elder whispered to himself, and after staying there for a while without finding anything, he turned and headed to another place.

He dared not get too close, as this was a restricted area on the island, unless one brought a magical artifact to break in.

Inside the ancient cave, Lin Fan's mouth and nose were bright red, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices. Encountering such a tiger's roar, even a Void Dao being would be shattered upon arrival.

"Are you alright?" Lan Xian asked in surprise, a look of worry on her face.

She was immediately taken into the Immortal Cauldron by Lin Fan, so she was unharmed.

"I've saved your life again. Remember to repay me with your body, or ten divine herbs will do," Lin Fan said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Lan Xian was both amused and exasperated. What kind of time was this? This junior brother of hers still had the mind to tease her and ask her to repay his kindness.

"We can't stay here any longer. If we get hit by a few more waves of attacks like this, we really won't be able to hold on." Lin Fan looked at the vanished white tiger with extreme caution.

That roar just now would have been dangerous if he hadn't been wearing immortal armor and holding an immortal cauldron.

"Then you want to..."

"Put them in a desperate situation and they will live; trap them in a hopeless situation and they will survive!"

"We definitely can't go through the exit; that creature is even more dangerous. We might as well take a gamble and follow the direction of the chanting; perhaps we can find a glimmer of hope."

Lin Fan's gaze was deep, and he immediately took action, walking forward to approach the place where the chanting was coming from.

At this moment, the pressure on him increased even more, as if a knife was slashing, a spear was thrusting horizontally, and a sledgehammer was smashing down.

Every now and then, a few powerful creatures would appear, such as the Vermilion Bird, whose scorching heat almost cooked him.

"What kind of place is this exactly?"

Lin Fan was horrified and felt extremely uncomfortable. The further he went in, the more suffocated he felt, as if his soul was about to shatter.

He felt a chill run down his spine, as if a sharp knife was held against his throat, ready to sever his head with a single stroke.

This place is very strange. The marks of all the heavenly beings are all present. No one knows who created this place. It's too mysterious.

Next, the ancient cave grew darker and darker, silent and dim, and a cold wind blew by, making it feel like walking through a passage to hell.

It's unclear how much time has passed, but Lin Fan's steps haven't stopped, yet he still hasn't reached the destination, and his killing intent has intensified.

In an instant, it was as if he had been cleaved by an invisible sword; his skin cracked open, and golden blood dripped from many places.

Fortunately, the journey was fraught with danger but we escaped unscathed. We were well-prepared and protected by magical treasures, and we made it through this perilous path.

"We're safe for now." Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back, he seriously suspected that if he were alone, without wearing armor, he would probably have disintegrated.

However, this path is truly extraordinary; it's more like the ultimate trial, not a test for the gods.

"This... is simply a battle immortal manual. If one cultivates here when one's cultivation level is high and comprehends all the true meanings of the Great Dao, one will definitely benefit for a lifetime."

Lin Fan murmured, pondering carefully. Even in the Immortal Ancient Era, this must be an extraordinary place.

Unfortunately, his current level of cultivation is insufficient; otherwise, he would love to sit here in seclusion and study the true diagrams carved by the ancients.
