Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 563 The Tragedy of the End of Dharma
The end of the Dharma in the world.

This is a tragedy of our time, a misfortune for cultivators, and a misfortune for all living beings. Every cultivator has encountered the cruel hand of fate.

Some people persevered, some were ruined, and some died, passing away peacefully in this world.

However, within a few months, the number of cultivators in the world decreased sharply, and the older generation almost died out, passing away in obscurity.

A desolate era thus unfolds. Even the most gifted geniuses can only look up to the heavens and howl in degenerate age, born at the wrong time.

In addition, the herbs were also misled, the divine medicine became ineffective, lost its original function, and became extremely dull, reduced to a semi-divine medicine.

Even elixirs of immortality are no exception; the longevity-enhancing substances they contain are greatly reduced, making them far inferior to what they used to be, and they have degenerated to the level of divine medicines.

This is tragic. The path of a cultivator is originally a path against the heavens, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to achieve a leap in life.

In the end, Heaven and Earth retaliated, suppressing all living beings and forcibly returning everything to Heaven.

This is what is meant by the Dharma-ending Age. No matter how much you gain without becoming an immortal, you will eventually return to the past.

"boom!"

The heavens and earth trembled violently, the universe was in turmoil, and the blade of destiny struck down once more. Lin Fan walked through the world, constantly fighting against it.

However, it seemed as if the heavens had their eyes on him, and every slight disturbance would find him, as if they wanted to annihilate him completely.

"Don't waste your energy on me. I'm still young. My cultivation comes from within myself, and you can't take it from me!" Lin Fan muttered to himself.

He was very bold; in this upheaval, he even defied the will of Heaven, soaring into the sky to forge his own path.

This is astonishing. If other living beings knew about it, they would be terrified. What are they trying to do?
To fight against the universe single-handedly? That's far too arrogant.

However, Lin Fan did just that, showing extraordinary audacity, as he charged upwards, his inner Dao confronting the external Dao.

"boom!"

Without a doubt, he faced the most intense divine punishment. The will of Heaven transformed into the light of the Dao, forging a great furnace to refine him.

Lin Fan was fearless and persevered through gritted teeth. He was cultivating the Dao, defying the heavens, and practicing his own methods to prepare for his ascension to the Supreme Realm.

Several years later, he not only survived and was not burned into Dao principles, but his cultivation also advanced further, reaching the perfection of the Escape One Realm.

It can be said that having reached the peak of this realm, it's time to start preparing for how to advance to the Supreme level.

……

There is no time in the mountains, and there is no year in the cold weather.

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Fan has been cultivating diligently in the mortal world. Although his cultivation has increased slightly, he has never been able to advance.

It is truly lamentable that the Supreme Realm is so difficult, trapping far too many people. Throughout history, many extraordinary talents have been kept out of its grasp.

This realm requires not only the accumulation of power and the concentration of magical energy, but also the tempering of the mind.

Not to mention, in this era of profound Dharma decline, it will only be more difficult than before, causing a large number of cultivators to be stuck.

"No, I want to break through the five-hundred-year mark and create a miracle."

Lin Fan firmly believed that even if the world were to end, it would not be able to hold him back. He would rise to become the supreme being in the shortest possible time.

In the end, he set off again, tempering his heart and struggling in the mortal world, completely letting go and experiencing all aspects of life.

Over the next decade or so, he taught, worked as a shepherd, and even begged... constantly changing his identity.

Unfortunately, he still failed and could not become the supreme being. It was as if he had reached a bottleneck and could not make any progress.

"Am I too obsessed?" Lin Fan wondered.

Then he shook his head. If one's obsession is deep and strong enough, one may still be able to attain enlightenment, like the Empress.

Most importantly, he is a human being, a living being. How could he not have desires? If you cut off everything, would he still be him?

“Cultivators contend with heaven, with earth, and with people; this is the essence of cultivation. Otherwise, they might as well be salted fish,” Lin Fan said.

He felt that he couldn't become the Supreme Being yet because he must have missed something, perhaps related to the end of Dharma. "No, that's only one reason. Perhaps... I should change my perspective. So what if the world is in the end of Dharma?"

"I take my own body as a seed, and I seek the inner path. Why should I follow the way of Heaven like others and become the supreme being after five hundred years!"

Lin Fan understood everything and set off again. He was going to fight, to comprehend the Dao, to create new laws, and to perfect his own path.

This method is the most suitable for him.

Furthermore, due to the arrival of the Dharma-ending Age, the world underwent a great change, this realm became barren, and its connection with other ancient realms was severed, making travel impossible.

The true severing of the connection between heaven and earth!
This also led to the destruction of the original balance, and some cultivators would do anything to prolong their lifespan.

Therefore, after the environment of heaven and earth stabilized slightly, some of the surviving old monsters began to plunder the remaining longevity substances.

"boom!"

Wars raged on, and conquests continued. Some supreme powerhouses even began to devour all races in order to survive.

Because they discovered that the life essence of cultivators could slow down their own decay, they launched a dark upheaval.

Across the vast land, tragedy after tragedy occurred, bloodshed and carnage, and the cries of the dying echoed everywhere.

"These beasts will do anything to survive!" Lin Fan was furious.

However, he was helpless and could only watch, because in the eyes of the Supreme Being, a great cultivator like him was the most desirable.

Once he steps forward, not only will he fail to save anyone, but he will also be targeted. Don't forget, he hasn't become the Supreme Being yet.

"Ah... We've only just entered the Dharma-ending Age, and there's already such a man-made disaster. Is there any way to survive?"

"Devastation, corpses everywhere, not a glimmer of hope, haha... how cruel!"

Many people shouted, angrily denounced, wailed, and some cried, appearing crazy, while others laughed in extreme anger.

However, all of this seems utterly ridiculous in the face of certain inhuman supreme beings, each one cold and ruthless.

"Human life is a great medicine, and it is your good fortune that you can become our tonic, replenishing our life force."

A supreme being spoke, glanced at a certain continent, opened his mouth and inhaled, causing hundreds of millions of living beings to die and fly into his mouth.

The other supreme beings did the same, venturing into one ancient land after another, fully revealing the darkness of human nature in this degenerate age.

"It's so damned!"

Lin Fan didn't want to get involved. He didn't belong to this era and didn't want to get too entangled in karma. He believed that he would leave sooner or later.

But now, looking at this hell on earth, he really felt an urge to kill all the executioners.

"I can't wait any longer, I must become a Supreme Being as quickly as possible!"

Lin Fan stopped looking at these things and headed into the chaos, far away from this realm, because he was afraid that he might really lose control and take action.

Next, he focused his mind, calmed himself down, and continuously formed hand seals, reviewing all that he had learned.

In addition, over the past century, he has been traveling the world and participating in great battles, which has honed his Dao foundation to perfection.

Now, all that's missing is to summarize, to fuse all the methods into one, and to completely create a path that is uniquely his own.

"boom!"

With a tremendous tremor, Lin Fan's entire body glowed, and the sound of scriptures resounded continuously, especially his abdomen and internal organs, which shone brilliantly.

There was not only Qi there, but also many gods, who were refining and condensing, as if they were about to transform into a sacred embryo, which was extremely mysterious.

"After the Five Elements converge, one will become a Deity!" Lin Fan shouted, his mind clear and his consciousness unobstructed, as he performed the transformation.

In an instant, celestial light surged forth, illuminating the entire chaotic region.
