Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 592 An Inescapable Fate
Even with Lin Fan's help, Shi Hao had already brushed with death at that moment, his physical body and primordial spirit nearly turning into dust.

Even a crippled immortal, though crippled and not at their peak, possesses power surpassing the ultimate mortal path, far exceeding that of a mere immortal who has vanished from the mortal realm.

Moreover, this was only with the intervention of other supreme experts; otherwise, it would have already turned to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

"Brother Dao, I am truly sorry that I failed to protect this young friend, and he has been robbed." A blurry creature spoke.

That was the Five Elements Mountain, where five-colored light flowed, and a creature sat cross-legged on it, surrounded by celestial mist and exuding an aura of immortality.

Without a doubt, this is an unparalleled master who has entered the realm of immortality.

Unfortunately, like the Remnant Immortal, it is flawed and in a semi-sealed state, unable to unleash its full power.

"I should thank you, fellow Daoist. If I hadn't protected his physical body and primordial spirit and resisted the remnant immortal, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived until I came to save him," Lin Fan said.

A strike from the Immortal Path—who can rival it?

Even so, Shi Hao's Dao Foundation was healed, but the Immortal-Breaking Curse he was afflicted with was a major and very troublesome problem.

This is a curse that is said to be unsolvable, extremely insidious. Once a true immortal is tainted by it, their cultivation will be destroyed, and they will be reduced to a mortal.

The Ten Fierce Kunpeng is the best example. He was injured in a battle with a foreign land and returned home. He was ambushed by a remnant immortal and cursed with a spell that broke his immortality, and was slowly worn down to death.

Therefore, anyone who knows about this curse will turn pale at the mere mention of it.

"That's too cruel!" all the creatures on Five Elements Mountain exclaimed, shaking their heads, not believing that anyone could survive.

In the past, perhaps only the Celestial King could resist the Immortal-Breaking Curse; otherwise, it would mean the end of everything.

"Hao'er!"

"Big brother!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's parents and the group of children he brought from the borderlands were all filled with righteous indignation and great concern.

A crippled immortal, a top expert from ancient times, actually attacked a junior in order to save his own life and seek revenge. How shameless!

Previously, Lin Fan had wondered why the last remaining immortal was nowhere to be seen. Was he afraid of death and had gone into hiding?
Unexpectedly, in order to save his own life, he tried to capture Shi Hao to blackmail him, but Shi Hao was too resolute.

"Did I still get it? Is it an inescapable fate?" Lin Fan pondered to himself.

At this time, under his treatment, Shi Hao had already recovered completely, and he looked fine, still full of energy.

However, the curse was rooted in his flesh and blood, and his primordial spirit, like a maggot clinging to his bones, which even Lin Fan could not eradicate.

"No, my child!" Shi Ziling and Qin Yining shouted, rushing over immediately, their eyes filled with tears.

They hugged Shi Hao tightly, their hearts filled with anxiety. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to a prodigy, a genius of unparalleled talent.

Although they survived, their cultivation would gradually be ruined, making their lives worse than death, extremely cruel, like the Kunpeng in its later years.

"Father, Mother, don't worry, I'm fine now. At worst, I can go back to being an ordinary person."

Shi Hao comforted him, appearing nonchalant and unconcerned.

However, the more Huang did this, the more heartbroken his family became, understanding that he said these things to comfort them.

"Good mindset. This is just a mere Immortal-Breaking Curse; we can get through it!" Lin Fan said, reminding everyone.

Many people were taken aback. Did the Holy Emperor have a way to solve this?
Even Shi Hao was looking forward to it.

However, Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, saying succinctly, "No!"

Everyone: "..."

Shi Hao was speechless. "Brother Xiao Fan, are you kidding me?"
"The Curse of the Immortal Breaker cannot be resolved by external forces; only self-salvation will save you. If you can endure it, the world will be your oyster, your cultivation will advance further, and you may even become a Supreme Being."

"What if we can't?" Shi Hao asked.

“Being an ordinary person is fine too,” Lin Fan replied.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's eyelids twitched: No, I was just saying I wanted to go back to being a mortal, why did you take it seriously?

"Alright, the four crippled immortals have all been beheaded today, and you deserve credit for that. As for the forces they secretly supported, such as the Immortal Palace, Sword Valley, and the Demon Dragon Dao Sect, you are free to go and wipe them out."

"I suppose... those great sects have collected countless treasures over hundreds of thousands of years, so consider this compensation for you," Lin Fan said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shi Hao let out a loud shout, urging:

"Little lion, hurry and come with this overlord to reap the rewards. This time, don't let anything slip by. I'm going to pack it all up and take it back to the lower realm."

In an instant, he flipped over and mounted the back of the exotic golden lion, transforming into a golden light and rushing off into the distance.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded. Huang was really something else; even now, he still had the mind to care about material possessions.

At the same time, they were genuinely envious, knowing that it was the accumulation of several great religions over a long period of time, with an unimaginable amount of treasures.

Many cult leaders were envious, but could only watch and dared not have any other thoughts, because who could disobey the words of a true immortal?

Even if they've fallen into disuse and lost their cultivation, as long as they have this powerful figure backing them up, they're not to be trifled with.

"Whoosh!"

When the time came, Lin Fan's avatar dissipated, and in an instant, the radiant cauldron broke through the air and disappeared, returning to the heavens.

Now that the matter was settled, he naturally wouldn't linger any longer.

As for his younger brother who was cursed with the Immortal-Breaking Curse, he believed that the other party could get through it, so there was no need to worry about him. After all, his fate was strong enough.

Little did he know that at the moment Lin Fan's avatar dissipated, a pair of beautiful eyes were watching him from a distant cliff.

"You didn't lie to me, it's really still there..."

……

"Crack!"

On this day, the heavens were no longer at peace. A certain ancient land split open, and a huge portal appeared, dazzling in its light, as if illuminating eternity.

"Boom!"

The door was only opened a narrow crack, yet the power of immortality poured out, with endless showers of celestial light.

"Heavens! Is this a celestial gate?" A passing being exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the magnificent sight.

Around the gate, orderly arrays of boundless celestial light, carrying an aura that did not belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, suddenly descended.

People were stunned. What was going on?
Soon after, the Changsheng family, having received the news, sent people to the place, cautiously approaching the gate.

They could faintly hear the sounds of a ritual.

Through the crack in the door, one could see some figures, seemingly about to come over, speaking in the language of the ancient immortal era.

"This seems to be a test. The beings within the gate are asking questions, wanting to understand the situation of this realm," a renowned elder of the Longevity Clan said after pondering.

Subsequently, many people were shocked and couldn't help but wonder whether the world behind the door was another realm or a celestial realm.

If it is the former, it will be an absolute disaster. How long has it been since the great war ended? The foreign lands have come back again. How can we resist them?
People were exhausted and really didn't want to participate in the battles in the borderlands anymore. It was too tragic; the bones buried in the green hills are still wet to this day.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, the gate to the immortal realm opened a little more. Although it was still not enough for a normal person to pass through, it allowed people to see and feel more.

“Such a sacred aura, different from the rules of that other realm,” said an old man who had been to the Imperial Pass.

"Shh!"

At that very moment, several decrees flew out from the Immortal Sect, reaching various places in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, causing a sensation.

"The Immortal Realm, it has descended!"
