第1330章 仙界道湮劫

Regarding the peculiar phenomena, Brother Dao...

"Ah!"

A sharp cry echoed in the small space.

It was not from Li Fan or Mo Rujin but from Han Zhong, a cultivator who had previously used the teleportation array to mistakenly enter the Eye of Kua Beast in Jiuzhang Province.

Han Zhong had been trapped for a long time and had lost hope of escaping. However, his instinct for survival kept him alive. Now seeing another living person, he let out an excited shout.

But Mo Rujin's expression changed slightly as he immediately shot a black light at Han Zhong!

Poor Han Zhong, who was full of disbelief, vanished in a puff of smoke and ashes.

"Brother Dao... " Li Fan pretended to be shocked.

Mo Rujin first carefully checked to ensure that Han Zhong had left no fragments behind before explaining, "Although I don't know why this cultivator appeared here, he has been contaminated."

"We should avoid contact with him in case we get infected. Better safe than sorry."

Li Fan's expression softened but remained puzzled: "Contaminated?"

Mo Rujin looked around as he said, "It's a very troublesome illness that even Brother Xuan would find difficult to solve."

"It might be related to the劫难 of the heavenly realm..."

"However, it is extremely rare to encounter in space. We are inside the Eye of Kua Beast, so the likelihood of contamination is higher here."

"The concentration of this disease in the lower realm's star seas is very low. It was like this a thousand years ago and hasn't changed much as I checked just now while traveling through the sea. But at such a vast scale, even if the concentration is extremely low, it will eventually reveal itself."

Mo Rujin set up several restrictions around them, seemingly targeting the disease in the void.

Li Fan pondered Mo Rujin's words.

"Because of the expanded observation area, the infection rate has increased... Does this mean that just observing can spread it?" Li Fan was alarmed.

Mo Rujin nodded: "Exactly. This is why I immediately killed him without hesitation."

"This disease spreads through ordinary means with a low probability. After checking, there's no sign of its spread here for now. It's safe for the time being."

"Such an unusual method of transmission... and it has something to do with the heavenly realm's劫难..." Li Fan looked worried.

"What happens after contracting this condition? The trapped cultivator didn't seem abnormal just now?"

Mo Rujin set up several more restrictions.

The transparent bubble, which had barely fit two people, slowly expanded like a balloon.

"Because the disease is still潜伏 in his body and hasn't erupted yet, there are no abnormalities. Once you come into contact with it, you'll understand its terrifying nature. It reduces your soul limit and life essence limit. The more severe the infection, the greater the reduction."

"In the end, even if you don’t die, you will be as fragile as a piece of paper. A gentle breeze could send your spirit flying apart. Before that, you would suffer from various pains due to the reduction in your life essence limit."

Mo Rujin sighed: "Think about it. Soft words in others' ears sound like thunder and even hurt your soul. Unintentional touches feel like violent impacts, causing flesh to tear..."

"Normal life becomes a constant horror show of disasters in your eyes. Death might be a relief at that time."

"But because of this condition, you will maintain the host's life until it is reduced to its limit to continue spreading. Survival is impossible, yet death is unattainable..." Mo Rujin shook his head.

"Indeed, this disease is quite troublesome," Li Fan said, recalling how Heavenly Physician had collected black gas from dead Han Zhong in a jade bottle.

"If it spreads throughout the Yellow and Green World, it will be a problem." Li Fan muttered.

"This condition hasn't spread much over ten thousand years. Even if it has a tendency to spread to the lower realm, it would take an incredibly long time," Mo Rujin comforted him.

His attention was focused on this Eye of Kua Beast.

"This transparent space is just one observation point of the Eye of Kua Beast? It seems that even Xuan Tian isn't here." Li Fan felt a bit disappointed.

Mo Rujin shook his head: "This is merely an observation point. Did you know that insects have countless tiny eyes to form their true eye? The same applies to the Kua Beast."

Li Fan understood immediately.

As Mo Rujin continued casting spells, the transparent bubble began to violently shrink and contract.

It seemed to be pushing them away.

Puff!

The bubble burst, and Li Fan felt a momentary disorientation. They found themselves in an unusual space.

Like bubbles floating on the sea, the circular boundary flashed with countless identical scenes of other bubbles.

Li Fan even vaguely saw himself and Mo Rujin in some of those bubbles outside.

However, these "others" looked different from him in terms of appearance, clothing, expressions, and actions.

Yet there was an inexplicable familiarity.

Eyes met across numerous versions of Li Fan. This created a very peculiar sensation within him.

"This is just the distortion caused by observing through countless Kua Beast eyes."

"Just stick to your true self; you won't be misled," Mo Rujin seemed accustomed to this scene as he searched among the bubbles.

"Brother Xuan didn't teach me how to operate the Eye of Kua Beast array. Fortunately, I've been here a few times before. I can only rely on these methods to search slowly." Mo Rujin sounded frustrated.

The space inside was filled with countless Kua Beasts' eyes seemingly without end.

They seemed close yet distant, making it impossible for spiritual awareness to pinpoint them; one had to rely on visual observation.

Moreover, the bubbles were not stationary.

Continuous waves of water-like movements caused the bubbles to shift irregularly, changing their positions.

Most previous observations would be invalidated due to this.

Despite the difficulty, Mo Rujin remained undiscouraged and focused intently.

He also reminded Li Fan: "Inside the Eye of Kua Beast, you can almost create your own laws. You don't need to worry about aging here. Even if you stay for ten thousand years, you won't age."

"If you really don't want to die when your time comes, you can hide in here. Although it's not guaranteed to be immortal, continuing to survive a few more millennia shouldn't be too difficult."

Li Fan nodded.

"This Kua Beast is truly unique."

"Legend has it that its size rivals the Yellow and Green World region. Could it have been brought back by Xuan Tian from the heavenly realm?" Li Fan asked.

Mo Rujin confirmed, "Yes, but not exactly. Initially, Brother Xuan thought it was just a dead object, an ordinary jade pendant. But after it came into contact with water, it began to emit signs of life."

"Then through careful nurturing, it grew larger and even increased in combat power day by day."

"I feel ashamed; if we really fought to the death, I might not have been able to defeat this Kua Beast," Mo Rujin's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia.

Perhaps thinking about how the Kua Beast had long since died and its bones turned into mountains, Mo Rujin's eyes flashed with intense killing intent.

Li Fan didn't respond.

Silence fell again as both Li Fan and Mo Rujin searched for any clues among the bubbles.

Although there were countless bubbles like stars in the sky, they kept changing, Li Fan had the support of the Dao Stone.

Each bubble was unique, so every observation left a distinct mark on his mind.

No matter how the bubbles moved, he could clearly distinguish them.

Time passed as more and more bubbles were marked by Li Fan.

His eyes grew sharper as options were eliminated.

He noticed something strange: compared to his original self, in those distorted scenes, parts of his body seemed missing from some peculiar bubbles.

Each bubble had a different missing part.

But if combined...
