第一千零八十三章 玄黄外虚空

The Xuanhuang Realm, though far more powerful than the ordinary cultivation realm, was not necessarily able to withstand the explosive release of divine spirit force when a divine artifact detonated.

Moreover, if such an explosion occurred within the Xuanhuang Realm, it would inevitably draw the attention of the ancient monsters lurking there.

After calming down from his excitement, Li Fan quickly realized this.

"Does that mean we need to leave the realm?"

He instinctively looked up at the sky. The consciousness of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao seemed to confirm his thoughts.

However, Li Fan was somewhat doubtful. So far, he hadn't discerned any particular difficulty in the test set by the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity. Compared to the previous three stages, this fourth and likely final stage appeared to present no challenges at all. Anyone could reach his current level as long as they followed the steps meticulously.

Crossing the void and detonating a divine artifact outside the realm seemed like it wouldn't be too difficult with the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity's support.

"Detonating a divine artifact, gaining the power to transcend the Divine Wall—once you truly leave, you might lose your chance of becoming the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity. You must defy the will of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao and remain within the realm just as Mr. Bai did in history. Only then can you succeed and become the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity..."

"But, is it really that simple?"

This was the Realm of Annihilation and Illusion. Even if one chose to detonate a divine artifact and cross the wall, what would be the point?

Beyond the wall lay an unknownrestricted area—areas where even the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity's power had never ventured. It could be confirmed that beyond the wall was exactly as described in the divine scroll decree: the realm of annihilation couldn't be transformed.

Returning to reality, he would still find himself within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Would a sane person really choose to leave the Xuanhuang Realm?

What then was the purpose of this test?

With these questions lingering, Li Fan silently flew out of the Xuanhuang Realm. Compared to several thousand years ago, the allure of the Divine Wasteland wasn't as strong now.

Even with Mr. Bai's extraordinary strength, resisting the Divine Wasteland and crossing the void was not particularly difficult.

In the vast expanse of space, Li Fan flew rapidly, the image of the Xuanhuang Realm shrinking behind him until it was swallowed by darkness.

Surrounding him was complete blackness, only the tugging force from the Divine Wasteland reminding him that this wasn't a hallucination.

"This is the Dark Star Sea..."

The bone-chilling loneliness and coldness gradually filled his heart. Looking around, there was no difference in scenery. No matter how fast Li Fan flew, the surroundings remained unchanged, leading him to doubt whether he was flying or just circling in place.

"Without markers and a spatial coordinate instrument, relying solely on physical strength to traverse the starry sky seems unrealistic."

Li Fan silently calculated the time. After three full days of exertion, feeling that this distance was sufficient, Li Fan finally stopped.

In the endless darkness, only he existed.

He took out all thirteen divine artifacts he had gathered.

Though far from the Xuanhuang Realm, without support from the world itself, his strength had diminished slightly. But destroying and detonating these divine artifacts was still within his capabilities.

His spiritual energy surged, first pouring into the Wasteland God Seal.

It struck like a heavy hammer, causing it to crack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosive energy burst in space but was quickly devoured by the endless darkness, leaving no trace behind.

Undeterred, Li Fan saw cracks appearing on the surface of the Wasteland God Seal. Threads of divine spirit force flowed out.

He immediately channeled this into his body. Though it couldn't be absorbed, these forces significantly enhanced him.

The most obvious change was...

The entire Dark Star Sea seemed to brighten slightly. His vision gradually adapted to the darkness, allowing him to see a small point representing the Xuanhuang Realm in the distance.

"Is this the precursor to crossing the Divine Wall?"

Even within the Realm of Annihilation and Illusion, Li Fan felt an inexplicable excitement.

He immediately increased his efforts. Soon, he completely destroyed the Wasteland God Seal.

After fully absorbing its divine spirit force, Li Fan began attacking the second divine artifact with spiritual energy.

The artifact was called the Great Sun Golden Bell.

Once he removed the restrictions on it, the Great Sun Golden Bell emitted intense, blinding light, illuminating a large area of the dark starry sky. Fortunately, no terrifying creature lurked in the darkness staring at him.

Under the light, Li Fan found that there was nothing but emptiness around him.

Following his previous method, he began destroying the Great Sun Golden Bell.

A hateful cry echoed in his ears, lingering for a long time.

Li Fan ignored it and continued without hesitation. With the disappearance of the Great Sun Golden Bell from this world, his divine spirit force grew stronger.

Next was the third artifact, the Yin-Yang Hook Sword...

After destroying nine out of the thirteen artifacts, Li Fan knew he had done enough based on the excited reaction in his mind.

The star sea no longer appeared pitch black. Instead, it displayed various colors that constantly changed. The colors, like auroras, distorted towards the direction of the Divine Wasteland.

Visually, it felt as if he had entered a new world, and his body felt incredibly light—like floating on water, ready to leap out at any moment.

Lost in this unprecedented experience, Li Fan only shook his head and sighed after some time: "Unfortunately, everything is just an illusion."

"It's time to return. Completing the task..."

As he made this decision, the surrounding scene suddenly froze. Li Fanacutely sensed that something different had happened despite no visible changes.

"Is it... did I complete the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity's test?"

"This seems too easy."

"Wait, is something wrong?!"

Li Fan's eyes instantly turned to the remaining four divine artifacts. One of them was the Great Sun Golden Bell, which he had clearly destroyed earlier!

"What’s going on?"

He narrowed his eyes, trying to retrieve those artifacts but found they were mere illusions.

"Could it be..."

A doubtful hypothesis floated in Li Fan's mind.

"Had I returned to reality?"
