“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

It seemed that the word “Celestial Doctor” uttered by Li Fan utterly triggered the flipped monster’s emotions.

With immense force, it bashed its head on the ground over and over again.

Creating a series of cracks in the hard, barren land.

At the same time, it was letting out intermittent whimpers, tears flowing freely, mingled with blood.

Even though this monster was so hideous to behold, Li Fan somehow found himself sensitively struck by its unspoken misery.

“Was the catastrophe here really carried out by the Celestial Doctor?”

In his mind, Li Fan uncontrollably envisaged the figure of the Celestial Doctor, who appeared to be as amicable as an affable old neighbor.

On the surface, he had an air of kindness and always wore a smile.

In reality, however, he was monstrously cruel.

A chilling sensation bubbled up in Li Fan’s heart.

It brought to mind the wailing filled with resentment made by everyone in Qin Tang upon seeing the statue of the Celestial Doctor in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

It seemed that the Celestial Doctor was indeed implicated in the downfall of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

“But where is this place, exactly? Why did it turn into a fragment of space, appearing within the White Mist Barrier?”

“Why would the Celestial Doctor want to slaughter these cultivators indiscriminately?”

“And furthermore…”

Li Fan calmed his shocked mind and turned his gaze to the flipped monster, which was still persistently kowtowing.

Having survived the murderous hands of the Celestial Doctor and lived alone in this mystical realm for so long, it must have had formidable power.

Li Fan’s treasured Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword couldn’t even scratch the surface of its skin.

All signs pointed to its incredible strength.

However, now it was kowtowing in front of Li Fan like a commoner who had been wronged massively.

Being a former official, Li Fan found the scene remarkably familiar.

Why was this happening?

It definitely wasn’t because Li Fan was stronger than this flipped monster.

It must be because…”

“It mistook me for someone else?”

“Yes, that must be it. As for why this flipped monster made such a mistake…”

In the limited span of Li Fan’s life of reincarnations, he had also experienced a case of misidentification.

To test his hypothesis, he released a shred of Power of Heavenly Annihilation from his Gold Core, forming it into a sword.

Sure enough, sensing the mildly familiar aura, the flipped monster became even more emotional.

Its cries became incessant, and it seemed to be on the verge of making a hole in the ground with its forehead.

“The Sky Slaughter Sword, the old man, the fisherman.”

As Li Fan looked at the monster that was kneeling in front of him, a gleam flickered in his eyes.

“The reason why it was begging me so desperately was simply because it sensed the Law of Heavenly Fiend within my Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword, and took me for the master of the Sky Slaughter Sword.”

“Even the old fisherman almost mistakened me for the Master, this monster has been trapped here for who knows how many years, its spirit clouded, operating entirely on instinct.”

“Of course it is prone to make mistakes.”

“Looking at it this way, the old fisherman might have been the leader of the fallen cultivators in this mystical realm. There must have been a conflict between him and the Celestial Doctor when the latter massacred the cultivators.”

“The Sky Slaughter Sword is incomplete, the old fisherman has amnesia, and he is crazed. Perhaps this is all the work of the Celestial Doctor.”

But soon after, Li Fan felt that something was off.

If it was truly the work of the Celestial Doctor, he had survived for so long and his power was much greater now than it was when the carnage took place.

Isn’t it impossible for him to not know about the existence of the old fisherman?

Why would he not get rid of the roots of his problem and allow the old fisherman to go on living?

Or was it as Li Fan had once speculated that the old fisherman had become an anomaly, impossible to eliminate?

“Celestial Doctor…”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

He was not a magnanimous person. Back in the day, the Celestial Doctor had detected his existence through the “Four Diagnostic Methods” and directly broke through the defense of his Tianxuan Mirror in order to capture him alive.

The fear he had felt at that time, Li Fan found it hard to forget.

However, the disparity in strength between him and the Celestial Doctor was too great at the moment, so he had to keep his thoughts of revenge buried deep within him.

Now that he had discovered that the old fisherman might be bitter enemies with the Celestial Doctor, Li Fan was stirring a bit.

“In the next life, perhaps I can give him some trouble.”

“If the old fisherman can get the Sky Slaughter Sword back and, during the battle between the Celestial Doctor and the scholar, we happen to pay him a visit.”

Li Fan’s eyes twinkled as he formulated a rough plan in his spirit consciousness, drawing on experiences from his past lives.

He sneered coldly, putting it aside for now, his gaze settled back on the distorted monster before him.

“The Black Death Talisman can last one more day. Maybe our hope of breaking free lies in him.”

Retracting the Power of Heavenly Annihilation, Li Fan tried to pacify and communicate with it.

In his words, he expressed how he had been deceived by the Celestial Doctor and was trapped here, looking for an exit to take revenge on him in the outside world.

The distorted monster had lost most of its wits. It took nearly half a day to understand what Li Fan meant.

It ceased its bowing, settling down, its head spinning constantly as if thinking about something.

Not long after, it crawled off suddenly toward the outside.

And it would occasionally turn its head, signaling for Li Fan to keep up.

In the location near ruin No. 12, the domain was still filled with distorted forces affecting direction.

Through sensing, the distorted monster leading the way would suddenly appear behind him or abruptly flicker a distance forward, constantly changing its position irregularly.

Li Fan closely followed behind the distorted monster, using it as a reference, constantly adjusting the direction of his flight.

Half a day later, the black light that kept darting around on his Black Death Talisman had dimmed significantly and appeared to go out at any moment.

Meanwhile, Li Fan had followed the distorted monster deep into what seemed to be the center of this mystical realm.

In a huge circular pit that appeared to have been struck by a meteorite, there were many figures.

Just like the ones Li Fan had seen before, they were all lifeless corpses.

However, these corpses were no longer lifelike, maintaining their appearance when they were alive.

Rather, they had all undergone eerie alterations.

Some hardened into stone, resembling statues.

Others seemed to be jade-ified, radiating a bright, crystalline glow.

There were even some whose bodies had cracks like tree bark growth on them.

What scared Li Fan the most was a form of insectization.

From afar, it would seem perfectly normal. But upon closer look, the entire body was hollowed out.

And it was completely filled with countless small black maggots.

Even after so many years, these maggots were still wriggling non-stop.

The closer to the center of the pit, the more evident the changes were.

There were no more standing corpses.

In their place was an unknown substance clinging to the ground.

It seemed like there was something ahead that terrified it greatly. Li Fan could vaguely sense that the distorted monster was slowing down.

And its frame was trembling subtly and continuously.

Upon reaching a certain extent, it stopped, refusing to move forward any more.

After comforting it, Li Fan reluctantly went ahead alone.

At the same time, he became highly alert, ready to fight back.

Contrary to his expectations..

There were no terrifying monsters in the center of the pit.

There was only a broken piece of stone lying quietly.

There were supposed to be some words written on the stone.

But now they were already faint and barely visible.

However, Li Fan could still make out some remnant traces on the stone.

And vaguely saw.

That it was the character for “chaos.”
