Chapter 1052: Extinction Preview

After Li Fan gave his permission, Tian Yang's body instantly transformed.

A faint blue light enveloped him, and his skin took on a metallic texture.

In a voice that was half-mechanical and half-childlike, Tian Yang slowly said, "A flesh-and-blood body has inherent disadvantages. How can it compare to a body of metal and stone?"

"For someone like me, all manner of rare materials in the world can be transformed into nourishment to strengthen the body."

"My physical limit is the theoretical upper bound of strength in the Great Dao!"

As Tian Yang spoke, he slightly clenched his fist, and an infinite suction seemed to emanate from its center.

Deep within the Spirit Transformation River, a massive vortex instantly formed. The immense power it generated made it almost impossible for Li Fan and the three Law Transmitters, including Huang, to maintain their balance in the turbulent currents.

After gathering his strength, Tian Yang slowly threw a punch towards Huang.

All three Law Transmitters' expressions changed.

However, Huang was locked in by the force of the punch, unable to move even an inch.

Tian Yang's slow punch was about to directly impact him.

At this critical moment, a golden light suddenly burst forth from Huang's two heads and four eyes. The sound of bones shattering throughout his body echoed like a torrential downpour, and his originally gaunt physique instantly inflated like a balloon.

Covered in sharply defined muscles, as if carved by knives, Huang roared, bringing all four of his arms up in front of him to block Tian Yang's small fist.

A muffled sound, like a clap of thunder, resounded.

Their fists met, and they remained locked in a stalemate.

A moment later, Tian Yang slowly withdrew his punch. "This time, I used five-tenths of my strength. But that is far from my limit."

"However, it should be your limit."

After he finished speaking, Huang's entire body slumped like mud, collapsing into a heap.

After a brief moment of alarm, Law Transmitters Zhou and Wei realized that Huang was not in mortal danger.

It was merely due to immense exhaustion.

Despite his crushing defeat, Huang was neither enraged nor resentful. Instead, he began to ponder Tian Yang's words.

"Replace flesh and blood with a body of metal and stone?"

In fact, he had considered this path before.

But as a human cultivator, he ultimately harbored concerns about abandoning flesh and blood to transform into something akin to a mechanical puppet.

Crucially, there was no precedent to follow.

Once the transformation was complete, there would be no turning back. If the power of the metal and stone body ultimately proved inferior to a flesh-and-blood one, wouldn't he become a laughingstock among all Law Transmitters?

However, Tian Yang's appearance today had revealed a new path to him, one that seemed to offer limitless potential.

"Perhaps, through this, I can break free from the Heavenly Venerate's shackles and become the only immortal-level existence among the Law Transmitters." A dangerous thought emerged from the depths of Huang's mind. Once it appeared, it began to irresistibly erode his resolve.

Observing the subtle changes in Huang's expression from nearby, Li Fan knew that the seed had been planted. He couldn't help but smile faintly to himself.

Without Source Energy Essence, it would be impossible for Huang to reach Tian Yang's current level of strength simply by transforming his body into metal and stone. Once Huang embarked on this irreversible endeavor, he would repeatedly hit walls and succumb to despair.

At that point, he would undoubtedly seek Tian Yang's help at any cost. With Huang dependent on him, Li Fan would have countless ways to manipulate him.

Using that punch as a cover, Tian Yang secretly absorbed a large amount of Spirit Transformation River water.

Seeing that their objective had been achieved, Li Fan had Tian Yang return to his original form and come back to his side.

The two Law Transmitters also quickly stepped forward to heal Huang.

"This place is not suitable for prolonged stay. Let's return first and discuss things further."

The group then quietly flew out of the Spirit Transformation Gorge.

The disturbance in the Spirit Transformation River caused by the recent fight had, after all, attracted the attention of the cultivators guarding the Spirit Transformation Gorge.

However, after an investigation, they could not find the cause.

Following the Myriad Immortals Alliance's principle of not seeking trouble unnecessarily, they chose not to report the incident.

In Law Transmitter Zhou's personal pocket dimension, Tian Yang's display of power, crushing Law Transmitter Huang, unequivocally proved his strength at the Immortal Realm.

Thus, everyone began to formally discuss the next steps of their plan.

It was still the top floor of a high-rise in the Neon Light Sea.

Huang's injuries had already healed on the way back. One of his heads had its eyes tightly shut, while the other furtively observed Tian Yang, who stood behind Li Fan.

Tian Yang also had his eyes closed, feigning sleep.

The discussion continued among Li Fan, Zhou, and Wei.

"With Huang's addition, the likelihood of persuading Jiang to convene the Oath of Law Transmitters is almost one hundred percent."

"We just need to lure him out according to the plan."

Li Fan chimed in at the right moment, saying, "Based on the assessment of the Union's elders and the current situation in the Xuanhuang Realm, a proposed solution has been finalized."

"We need to create a significant stir, a problem that only Law Transmitter Jiang of the Myriad Immortals Alliance can resolve, yet without actually destroying the Xuanhuang Realm..."

Li Fan paused, a mysterious smile appearing on his face. "Gentlemen, what do you think of this plan?"

He lightly tapped his index finger in the air, and a small golden orb of light flew closer.

After examining the contents of the orb, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Law Transmitters Zhou and Wei.

"Excellent," they both nodded after conferring.

"Good. In that case, our Myriad Worlds Union can begin formal preparations. However, to make the act convincing, we will still require your cooperation."

"Rest assured," Law Transmitter Zhou said in a deep voice, "Although we've been expelled from the Law Transmitters' Council, we have, after all, been cultivating for many years and still retain some control over the various states and regions of the Immortal Alliance. There will certainly be no problem assisting your Union in orchestrating this world-ending play."

After another detailed discussion, Li Fan and Tian Yang finally departed.

Back in the Spiritwood Realm, Tian Yang poured out the Spirit Transformation River water he had collected. Specialists like Artisan Qiao and others would research it to see if it could be replicated and mass-produced.

Li Fan, meanwhile, went to the World Annihilation Space and retrieved one of the experimental subjects.

Although it was ostensibly a play designed to attract Law Transmitter Jiang, in Li Fan's view, this was a dress rehearsal for the final annihilation of this world.

"Many arrangements can be laid out in advance through the hands of these Law Transmitters, leveraging this opportunity. Law Transmitters are intrinsically linked to the Heavenly Venerate of Law. By then, even if the Faceless True Immortal and the Immortal Ruin Immortals vaguely perceive someone scheming behind the scenes, their suspicions will first fall on the Law Transmitters."

"Even if the Law Transmitters' current strength isn't enough to directly contend with a True Immortal, they should at least be able to hold on for a moment..."

Thinking this, Li Fan activated the full-load state of Soul Combustion.

He began crafting the items needed for world annihilation with maximum efficiency.

Gradually, the World Annihilation Space, which had previously seemed somewhat empty, began to fill up.

Three months of preparation passed in a flash.

Under the joint conspiracy of Li Fan and the three Law Transmitters, various extraordinary events began to subtly emerge across the states of the Myriad Immortals Alliance.
