Chapter 1205

Chapter 1205: Departure

“I pursue the chaotic peak for two reasons: first, I refuse to be seen as an insignificant ant by others, and second, for the sake of the human race,” the True Self said, looking at Xu Fan.

“You truly are a genius; I can’t even count all the backup plans you’ve laid out.”

“Even if today you become nourishment for my good brother, who knows, perhaps in some corner of the Three Thousand Realms, another True Self will emerge.”

“Even if you’ve exhausted all your backup plans in the Three Thousand Realms, how many more are hidden in the outer realms?” Xu Fan replied, his gaze fixed on the True Self.

“Big Brother Xu, your good brother is restrained by me. Even if I turn all my backups into nourishment for him, he will never achieve what I once did.”

“So, Big Brother Xu, could you spare me this time? After all, I’ve also contributed to the human race,” the True Self said earnestly, his eyes pleading with Xu Fan.

“Are you finished? If so, I’ll begin,” Xu Fan said, his aura radiating the overwhelming power of the Saint state.

The massive mountain range, larger than the Immortal Realm itself, trembled and swayed under the pressure of his divine might.

“Big Brother Xu, you’re so heartless,” the True Self said with a hint of bitterness, as he too released his Saint aura to resist Xu Fan’s force.

“They say you were the most fearsome prodigy of the human race in the Yuanshi Sect. Now that we’re both at the saint realm, let me experience the legendary power you once wielded,” Xu Fan declared, unleashing his full aura and instantly sealing off the surrounding star region.

A thousand-hand illusion, resembling a god or demon, materialized in the star region. From the void, countless chaotic runes chains emerged, lashing out toward the True Self.

Feeling the crushing weight of Xu Fan’s suppression, the True Self’s expression shifted slightly.

In response, a demonic thousand-hand illusion appeared in the sky, straining with all its might to break through Xu Fan’s blockade and escape.

As the blockade was torn open, the demonic illusion slipped into the void.

“This is no fun at all!”

As Xu Fan spoke, he manipulated the endless chaotic runes chains, sending them deeper into the void.

The demonic thousand-hand illusion was dragged back.

“I’ve studied every divine ability in the Sutra Pavilion of the sect, and I know I’ll never be a match for Big Brother Xu.”

“But even if I can’t win, I can still try to escape!”

Suddenly, a tremendous force erupted from the depths of the star region, piercing through Xu Fan’s blockade and carrying the True Self far away from the area.

“How boring. You could at least put up a fight,” Xu Fan remarked.

“You lack the commanding presence of someone standing at the peak of the Three Thousand Realms.”

The endless chaotic runes chains surged into the space crack through which the True Self had fled.

A powerful ripple erupted from within the crack, and the chaotic runes chains that had entered merged into the True Self’s body.

The moment the chains touched him, they intertwined with fate through the threads of causality.

This was precisely Xu Fan’s goal in coming here.

“This is turning out to be more troublesome than I expected,” Xu Fan said, gazing in the direction where the True Self had vanished.

They had assumed that entering the Saint state would allow them to easily handle the True Self, even if he unleashed Great Saint-level power.

But who could have guessed that being in the Saint state only meant the True Self could escape from him?

“A figure comparable to Yuan Lord is not to be underestimated.”

Thinking of this, Xu Fan smiled and forcefully broke open the space, connecting the two places and returning to the Hidden Spirit Sect.

In a pavilion within a garden at the main peak, Xu Fan looked at his good brother with some regret and said, “I met your True Self. I originally planned to capture him and use him as nourishment.”

“Unfortunately, your True Self is at the saint realm, and he slipped away from me. I could only restrict him in terms of causality and fate.”

Wang Yulun was taken aback by these words at first, but then he grasped the key point.

“Big Brother Xu, are you saying my True Self, having recovered to the saint level, managed to escape from you?”

“Exactly. Your True Self was once a peak powerhouse in the Three Thousand Realms, and even dared not clash with me,” Xu Fan said, feeling somewhat disappointed.

“Your True Self knows all my experiences from childhood, so he can feel your terror even more strongly,” Wang Yulun replied with a smile.

He still remembered how he thought he could hold on for a quarter of an hour against Big Brother Xu.

In the end, it made him understand the concept of an instant.

“I might have to be away for a while. Your True Self is now sealed by me; for the next 100,000 years, he won’t dare to act against you,” Xu Fan said.

“Where are you going, Big Brother Xu?” Wang Yulun asked reluctantly.

“To the outer realms; there are some matters I must handle personally,” Xu Fan replied.

“Then hurry back, I am still waiting to devour the True Self and become your right-hand man, Big Brother!” Wang Yulun said with a smile.

“Then good luck!”

“Let’s see how many realms you can advance by the time I return.”

“I promise you, in thousands of years, I will cut down to a hundred lives.”

“Ambitious!”

After chatting with his good brother, Xu Fan returned to his courtyard.

Zhang Weiyun looked at Xu Fan with teary eyes.

“Husband, can’t you take me with you to the outer realms this time?”

“This journey is a bit dangerous; I can manage alone, but bringing you would make it easier for those gods or demons to discover us,” Xu Fan said gently, stroking Zhang Weiyun’s beautiful hair.

Zhang Weiyun nodded understandingly.

“I won’t cause trouble for you, Husband.”

“Don’t worry; I will return within ten thousand years. While I’m away, please help me look after the sect,” Xu Fan urged.

“Rest assured, Husband.”

Xu Fan then called all his disciples over and instructed them about what to do during his absence.

Amidst the reluctant gazes of all the disciples, Xu Fan headed towards the Yuanshi Sect.

“Senior Huangshan, Senior Heaven’s Destruction, after I leave, could you please help keep an eye on the sect for me?”

“I truly appreciate this favor,” Xu Fan said, looking at the two who had come to bid him farewell.

“Kid, that Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein might be guarded by a Great Saint of Chaos.”

“If he detects you, the Great Saint of Chaos can destroy the entire Three Thousand Realms through the causality behind you.”

“Do you really want to do this?” Heaven’s Destruction asked, looking at Xu Fan with a serious expression.

“All the top powerful families and major forces in the Three Thousand Realms have already started making plans. If they succeed, they can surely survive this tribulation.”

“Isn’t it better to stay quietly in the Three Thousand Realms?” Huangshan looked at Xu Fan with confusion.

“Two seniors, there are some things I must do,” Xu Fan replied firmly.

He understood that these two Great Saints of the human race were able to speak to him here because they couldn’t do anything against him.

Otherwise, Xu Fan would definitely not be able to leave the Three Thousand Realms.

“You, as a Yuan Lord, are also causing trouble for yourself by not wanting to come and stop him,” Huangshan said helplessly.

Now, few in the Three Thousand Realms could restrain Xu Fan.

“Two seniors, wait for my triumphant return!” Xu Fan said as he stepped into the teleportation formation leading to the outer realms.

In the outer realms, the teleportation formation he was supposed to arrive at had already been destroyed by chaotic giant beasts.

Thus, Xu Fan was randomly teleported to the area surrounding the formation.

At that moment, all the chaotic giant beasts seemed to perceive flesh and blood, rushing madly towards Xu Fan’s direction.
