My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 582

Perhaps it was due to the [Root of Heaven and Earth] fearing damage to the newly-formed Five Elements Cave Heaven.

When Li Fan approached the five clusters of light, the external suction force abruptly lessened.

This prevented him from completely disintegrating in a short amount of time.

At this moment, although Li Fan's body was reduced to half of its original size, he still retained all his limbs. However, his overall stature had shrunk, making him look like a seven- or eight-year-old child.

It was both comical and eerie.

Fortunately, this did not affect his ability to move.

He quietly gazed at the flickering five-colored clusters of light in the distance. Instead of hastily using a secret technique to devour them, he carefully observed.

The Root of Heaven and Earth was weaving energy and laws of the same attribute into the five elemental domains—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—through flickering flashes below.

These newly-born, fragile elemental domains gradually became more complete and resilient.

"If this space were viewed as a womb nurturing life, then these Five Elements Cave Heaven would be like embryos just beginning to take form," Li Fan thought.

Now existing in a line-based form, Li Fan’s perception of the surrounding laws was far sharper than when he was in human form.

Witnessing the initial formation of the Cave Heaven, insights flooded his mind.

In his previous life, when the “Five Elements Great Cave Heaven” that had been relocated out of the city was eventually annihilated due to the imbalance of the five elements, Li Fan was able to realize that the five elements of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven were not in harmony with each other.

Li Fan had personally witnessed the terrifying, near-apocalyptic black-and-white vortex.

Now, seeing the birth of the Five Elements, he noticed an unexpected similarity between the two.

"Life and destruction..."

"Life is the beginning of destruction; destruction is the source of life," Li Fan murmured, seemingly enlightened.

"I used the principle of the Five Elements’ mutual generation—endlessly cycling—to create the 'Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword' based on the methods of Ink Kill and Heaven Calamity."

"But this principle of life and destruction..."

His thoughts raced to their peak.

Without any external aid, Li Fan appeared to enter a state of epiphany.

He stood motionless beside the clusters of five-colored light, as still as a statue.

Yet his body reacted instinctively.

When stray particles occasionally hurtled toward the Five Elements Cave Heaven and threatened to pierce through him, his body twisted bizarrely, evading the particles with ease.

After avoiding danger, his body instantly reverted to its original form.

Meanwhile, Li Fan remained immersed in contemplation, oblivious to his movements.

Time passed.

Gradually, the five-colored clusters of light revealed more intricate details. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It was unclear how much time passed.

The previously vivid Cave Heaven scenes gradually grew translucent.

In the [Root of Heaven and Earth], only the circular outlines of the five interconnected Cave Heaven remained, suspended in space.

Boom...

The Five Elements Cave Heaven began to tremble violently.

Even the internal space of the [Root of Heaven and Earth] shook incessantly.

It seemed as if the Five Elements Cave Heaven were trying to break free of its mother's constraints.

In Li Fan’s vision, the interwoven lines grew distorted.

"Ping!"

A sound like a snapping string echoed.

Li Fan noticed that a line seemed to break out of thin air around the Five Elements Cave Heaven.

Even though it disappeared in an instant, he was sure it wasn’t an illusion.

Indeed, the snapping sound repeated like a chain reaction.

Above the Five Elements Cave Heaven, countless broken lines swayed in the wind, dissolving into nothingness in moments.

The Cave Heaven’s trembling intensified.

"The time is now!"

At that moment, Li Fan's body completely disintegrated.

Twisting, wriggling lines shielded the Golden Core in his dantian as they sped toward the Five Elements Cave Heaven.

This seemed to alert the [Root of Heaven and Earth].

As Li Fan advanced, the dissolution rate of his fine lines accelerated.

Yet it couldn’t stop him from drawing closer.

When the Five Elements Cave Heaven finally broke free from the [Root of Heaven and Earth], Li Fan’s Golden Core began to crack.

It appeared on the verge of shattering but somehow held together.

From the cracks emerged writhing "tentacles," menacingly reaching for the Five Elements Cave Heaven like ravenous serpents.

These tentacles also represented the “Root of Heaven and Earth.”

Not the primordial creation root of this domain.

Rather, it is the “Root of Heaven and Earth” that the cultivators of the world have formed within their bodies according to the new method of the Immortal Ancestor.
