Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 609 The Dark Calamity Unfolds
Lin Fan left, neither going to the Nine Heavens nor staying in the Three Thousand Provinces, choosing instead to head to the Cross Yin-Yang Land.

Because his injuries were worse than imagined; a wisp of black substance invaded his body, raging wildly and threatening to plunge him into darkness.

This was extremely dangerous, like a time bomb. If it exploded, all three thousand states would be affected, so he did not stay in the Upper Realm.

"You're injured..." As soon as he entered the restricted area, half of his snow-white skull glowed, transforming into a white-clad figure, revealing a look of astonishment.

This time, the Cosmic Lake did not appear, nor did the thatched huts materialize; they remained dry and dilapidated, seemingly out of place.

However, even though the environment of the restricted area remained unchanged, he appeared like a spirit, looking at Lin Fan's strange behavior with surprise.

"Dark matter!" The white-robed man, with his handsome and refined appearance, was a Celestial King in his previous life, and his discerning eyes were naturally sharp; he recognized it at a glance.

"Senior, please lend me a place to recuperate!" Lin Fan said urgently, without explaining further, as his condition was indeed very serious.

Not only was his body damaged and he suffered severe injuries, nearly dying under the ancient artifact, but his primordial spirit was also dim and on the verge of collapse.

Now, he desperately needs a safe, secluded place to escape the world and recuperate in peace.

"Hey!"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded, understanding his current state, and with a wave of his hand, a chaotic ancient palace appeared.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan flew in quickly. The hall was covered with runes, isolating everything inside and out, making it perfect for his seclusion.

"puff……"

However, his injuries were truly terrible. The inexplicable force remaining in his body was crushing him, causing him to cough up blood continuously, and his skull and limbs were cracking.

Even the soul is in the same state, cracking open in a terrifying way, looking as if it could be destroyed at any moment.

This scene was extremely tragic. If it were an ordinary immortal who had suffered such a Dao injury, he would surely have been annihilated, both in body and soul.

It's truly a miracle that Lin Fan was able to hold on like this!
However, he was decisive. He separated his primordial spirit from his body to avoid the dark light that was constantly impacting his body, so as not to let it erode his soul.

At the same time, it carried a wisp of the most primordial essence and blood, abandoning its physical body!

"Boom!"

Before long, under the immense power of magic, that mass of essence and blood reshaped his indestructible body, and he quickly reformed, his primordial spirit returning to its place.

At this level, the so-called rebirth from a drop of blood means just that.

In addition, Lin Fan took out pills made from the elixir of immortality and consumed them to nourish himself.

However, during the era of the fallen emperor, he had already taken the supreme medicine once and developed resistance to it. Taking it again would only have half the effect.

Then, he took out a jade jar containing refined immortal blood elixir, which he drank like a whale or a cow, emphasizing its large quantity.

Even so, Lin Fan's newly sculpted body was still dripping blood, seemingly bearing an inescapable force.

Not far away, his shed old body was torn to pieces, with a wisp of the purest dark matter drifting there.

"Destroy the source of chaos!"

Lin Fan roared and attacked his old body, fearing that it would fall into darkness and breed a new primordial spirit, becoming a great threat.

"boom!"

With a single punch, the body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

At this moment, the originally crimson and sacred blood was now faintly glowing with a dark light. If it had been any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Hey!"

Then, the Undying Phoenix Flame rose up, carrying a rich immortal light, burning fiercely to completely purify the dark matter.

This could be a disaster. If it's not handled properly, even a small leak could trigger a dark evolution.

"There's no rush. Let's wait until the injury is better before leaving."

Lin Fan immediately went into seclusion. Even though he cultivated the Great Dao of Life and Death, he spent several years coughing up blood and recuperating from his injuries. The physical body is easy to heal, but the primordial spirit is difficult to heal. At this level, the soul is the foundation, and any injury to it is far more serious than to the physical body.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Fan is still in seclusion. This time, the damage was too severe, and he needs time to recover.

Furthermore, he needed to temper his blood again and again, eliminating all the dark matter, while simultaneously refining his soul, fearing that he might leave any hidden dangers.

He only emerged from seclusion after his injuries had stabilized somewhat, and met with the Lord of the Forbidden Zone to explain the situation.

"I thought you were going to fall into darkness." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone stared at him, his face filled with shock.

On the altar, three old monsters from the Western Mausoleum Realm, now resurrected, were alarmed upon learning the truth.

A being that is not even at the Immortal King level can actually survive after coming into contact with the ancient artifact of origin. Isn't that defying the heavens?

It should be known that the terror of that thing is renowned throughout the heavens. No celestial king is not wary of it and will try to avoid its rays.

But now, Lin Fan has survived a direct confrontation, even with a crack appearing in the box, which is truly astonishing.

"It was a stroke of luck. If it weren't for some special methods, I would have really perished this time." Lin Fan said, still feeling a chill when he recalled it.

He was certain that if he fell into darkness, he would become a super evolver; his potential was immense, and he might even become a Celestial King within ten thousand years.

After all, it was the dark matter released by the ancient artifact, the purest of all, which meant it could evolve infinitely until it became a giant.

This is something that many people in other lands crave but cannot obtain; it is extremely precious and can only be encountered by chance.

But by then, he will probably no longer be himself. His primordial spirit will be obscured and replaced, turning into a calamity for the nine heavens and ten earths.

"It's not entirely a bad thing. If you survive the illumination, you might be much more immune the next time you encounter it."

The Lord of the Penalty Area said, and then he revealed a rumor.

It is said that the first being to touch the ancient artifact of origin and survive it can gain initial immunity to it, and may even possess some kind of ability.

Lin Fan pondered that it seemed his younger brother was in the same situation, but unlike him, the other party was dealing with something else, something from the burial soil.

However, these things are not important for now; let's put them aside for the time being. He has been missing for more than a decade and is eager to know what's happening in the outside world.

However, even the Lord of the Forbidden Zone didn't know much, though Shi Hao occasionally traveled to and from the Upper Realm, bringing back some information.

"That kid is so eager to break through to the Supreme Realm, he really doesn't know his own limitations. Five hundred years old is a forbidden line," the Crystal Skull said.

"I don't think so. The threshold has always been something that geniuses break through. Besides, is it really that difficult for someone under five hundred years old to become a supreme being?"

Lin Fan spoke casually, pointing to a perfect example right in front of him.

These words immediately made it seem like the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, the Crystal Skull, the Golden Hand Bone, and the Blood-Dripping Eyeball were being subtly insulted.

Afterwards, Lin Fan didn't linger. He thanked them and returned to the Upper Realm.

When he returned to the Three Thousand Provinces, he instantly learned a great deal of information with a thought, and was quite surprised.

Has darkness still descended?

During his seclusion, the prison of the spirit world was broken, and two major states fell in just one day, with black mist running rampant.

Now, more than a decade later, the Dark Territory has expanded a thousandfold, and half of the land in the Three Thousand Provinces has been eroded.

In addition, "black calamities" appeared one after another in the nine heavens and ten earths!
This is no longer just a local phenomenon; it's happening on other ancient continents as well, with dark matter emerging and occupying large swathes of pure land for cultivation.

Therefore, even the Immortal Realm had to send troops to guard various places for fear of being affected, resulting in continuous battles.

"Heh... The Immortal Realm and the dark creatures are all looking for me; they're up to no good!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly. He had just received another important piece of news, and his face turned cold. Then he soared into the sky, heading straight for the heavens.
