Chapter 1348: A Single Line Breaks the High Wall_2
Fear of being seriously wounded on the spot.
Mo Rubing used the Heavenly Beast Attached Eye, observing his surroundings.
"A miss is as good as a mile." Given the vast distance from the Xuanhuang World, even if there were no miscalculations at the starting point, by the time one reaches the fringe of the Star Sea, a slight deviation in the end point is almost inevitable.
"It should be, right around here."
Before the words of Mo Rubing were finished, the Wooden Sword Mirage controlled by Li Fan suddenly came to a halt.
"No path forward, the High Wall has been reached."
These eight words instantly turned Mo Rubing's expression grave.
"I would ask my fellow Daoist to walk along the boundary. If I observe any traces of the message sent that year, I will immediately raise my voice to alert you."
Li Fan nodded, signaling his understanding.
It wasn't that he was deliberately putting on an aloof demeanor, but the True Immortal Remnant Force converging below the High Wall was on a whole different level compared to the normal Star Sea.
And without the protection and mitigation from the Ruined World The Wall, he had to rely on himself to counter this mighty force. Even Li Fan, who now mastered the Supreme Escape Technique, had to confront it with all his might.
With great difficulty, he explored along the High Wall.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Mo Rubing still hadn't found the target.
Li Fan, on the other hand, was beginning to feel a faint sense of vertigo.
In his heart, an inexplicable sense of panic surged, urging him to leave.
However, his instincts did not signal any crisis, it was just an unfounded feeling within his heart. Li Fan endured it, trying to understand the reason behind his heart's turmoil.
Soon, he had an inspiration: "It's because I have stayed under the High Wall for too long, giving rise to the illusion that the High Wall is collapsing and pressing down on me. It's due to the vast disparity between the force of my own being and the High Wall."
After understanding this, Li Fan felt somewhat relieved.
Since there was no real crisis, he simply ignored these unusual sensations in his heart and continued to explore the High Wall.
But clearly, Li Fan had somewhat underestimated the oppressive power of the High Wall.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of Tea, the sense of panic in Li Fan's heart grew even more intense.
The Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra completely lost its effect, even affecting the flow of Spiritual Power within his body and the turn of his thoughts.
Li Fan was shocked to discover that his stature, his height, under the oppression of the High Wall's force, had imperceptibly shrunk by a hair.
Upon further examination, Li Fan found that it was not just this. His Divine Soul, even his Cultivation Base strength, had also been compressed and reduced.
It was as if the High Wall really was pressing down on him!
Li Fan no longer pretended to be strong.
For the time being, he retreated and kept a distance from the High Wall.
"This is the first time I've stayed so long under the High Wall at such close range."
Only after his body returned to normal did Li Fan take a deep breath of relief.
Turning to Mo Rubing, his condition was even worse than Li Fan's.
Perhaps because he had been observing the High Wall for a long time, the Heavenly Beast Attached Eye on Mo Rubing's forehead seemed to be squeezed by an invisible hand, slowly closing.
The extent of its opening was nearly half of what it was before.
Mo Rubing's body trembled uncontrollably, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.
Seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed through Li Fan's heart. With Mo Rubing's temperament, even if he had witnessed the High Wall with his own eyes, he shouldn't be so scared.
In the end, it was Mo Rubing who explained the reason.
"A myriad of Demon Hearts, all witnessing the High Wall. Emotions thus are amplified a thousandfold upon my body..."
"My fellow Daoist is amusingly modest." Mo Rubing slowly returned to normal.
Li Fan did not care: "After all, we are beings that transcend the mundane. It's good that you are alright."
"Have you found any traces of the message sent by the King of Mystic Sky?"
To Li Fan's surprise, Mo Rubing actually nodded: "I have compared the section of the boundary we passed through. Indeed, there is one place that is different from the others."
"But the sample size for observation is too small, and it is not yet certain. Next, we must at least check the entire area locked down by the Eye of the Heavenly Beast."
"That's also good."
After a rest, waiting until they both returned to their peak state, they set off again.
Standing under the High Wall once more, Li Fan's expression abruptly changed.
Because he realized, without any warning, the same crushing feeling from before suddenly surged back!
The rest earlier had not relieved the oppression from the High Wall's force. When they returned to the base of the High Wall, Li Fan and Mo Rubing directly inherited the previous sensations and once again withstood the vast might of the High Wall!
Mo Rubing's body began to shake violently. The fearful expression on his face told he was in the same predicament as Li Fan.
"Since returning is useless, then we can only persevere."
Mo Rubing said with a trembling voice.
Li Fan closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing the various discomforts in his heart.
Following the guidance of the Heavenly Beast Attached Eye, he explored along the High Wall with difficulty.
Moving step by step, he himself seemed to grow smaller and smaller. The towering High Wall appeared ever more immense, fostering a growing dread within him.
Fortunately, the area that needed to be explored was not particularly vast.
"Sure enough, the location we encountered before is different from the other High Walls. Hurry!"
The nearly closed Eye of the Heavenly Beast cast a dim light, pointing the way for Li Fan.
The oppressive power of the High Wall, as his strength was incessantly sapped, also continuously weakened the efficacy of the Wooden Sword Mirage Escape Technique.
Li Fan had a premonition that if he stayed much longer, he might be unable to maintain the state of the Wooden Sword Mirage. Without the help of the escape technique, there would be no escape from beneath the High Wall. And as the oppressive force of the High Wall grew over time, he feared that he would ultimately be crushed and annihilated by it. Only [Huanzhen] could save his life then.
Luckily, before that happened, Li Fan and Mo Rubing finally arrived at the targeted location.
It really was just a point.
In the vast Abyss Star Ocean, an endless endpoint, one of them.
Without specific guidance, under the influence of the High Wall, searching for its precise location.
Would be no different than a fool's dream.
But with the message from the King of Mystic Sky from that year, the impossible became possible.
Initially, Li Fan had planned to use the escape technique to flee before his strength was exhausted.
But when he stepped on this point.
The might of the High Wall was still present.
However…
It no longer accumulated.
It was as if he had returned to the time when he first arrived at the foot of the High Wall.
Li Fan and Mo Rubing looked at each other and both saw the ecstasy in the other's eyes.
"Indeed, my guess was correct! The rules of the High Wall have been pierced by Xuanyuan Big Brother's message!"
Li Fan echoed: "This place is like a weak point, a flaw in the High Wall. First of all, we can at least stay here indefinitely, studying the High Wall."
"Otherwise, let alone study it. Even approaching it for a long duration would be too much to hope for."
Mo Rubing's eyes narrowed, his face completely filled with a look of bewilderment.
He stared in rapt fascination, as if seeing the hope of escaping the Abyss Star Ocean.
A Demon Heart flew out from his body.
The expression on its face was exactly like Mo Rubing's own, trying to reach out and touch the end of this space-time.
A moment, two moments, three moments...
Mo Rubing's expression gradually froze.
Because he felt nothing at all.
Yes, after all the effort, he really arrived at the location where the King of Mystic Sky had broken through the wall back then.
Facing the flawed High Wall, Mo Rubing still felt nothing.
Even a flawed High Wall was beyond the reach of Living Beings below the True Immortal.
Understanding this, a shade of gloom involuntarily passed across Mo Rubing's face.
It wasn't just Mo Rubing, even Li Fan did not gain any inspiration from this so-called loophole.
Ahead was still just the void's end.
Unfathomable, beyond contemplation.
Whether there were flaws, for them, was essentially indistinguishable.
They could only sense something through the specific effects that the High Wall exerted on a person.
Li Fan's heart, of course, was unwilling.
He immediately thought of using the Ascension Array to raise his own momentum, reduce the distance from the High Wall, and catch a glimpse of the truth.
But then he thought of Mo Rubing beside him; the Ascension Array would surely attract the other's attention. So he suppressed the thought for the time being.
"Next time, when I come alone, then we'll see."
They could only sigh in view of the wall, falling into silence for a while.
And the oppressive power of the High Wall did not reduce even slightly due to their silence.
Soon, it reached a point they could no longer bear.
Having no choice, Li Fan had to take Mo Rubing and temporarily retreat to a safe area.
