In the Void Battleground, the Nine Heavens Squall Formation transformed into a formidable fortress which encircled around Li Yuanfang. Above the layers and layers of squalls sat four humongous formations which faced four different directions. It was as though the four different Heavenly Gates were working together to form an even greater formation.

This very formation trapped both the Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng within as the black cyclones, the long river of stars, the raging sword flames and the glittery stardust extended in a line towards eternal continuity, forming a powerful entity which was battling both Kings.

?This formation is truly impressive. But it seems like it?s not fully complete… Unless it?s lacking a certain magic treasure…? King Pingdeng thought, ?But nonetheless, it?s still unbelievable how an Advanced Nascent Soul stage cultivator could attain such mastery over his mana and such divine cultivation!?

King Pingdeng steered the Boat of River Luo and controlled the Soul-Amassing Lamp, like a lonely raft sailing through a powerful storm, never stopping the struggle against the mystical Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation.

But King Pingdeng was never flustered by the difficulty of the challenge. King Pingdeng continued to attempt to understand and raise conjectures about the intricacies of the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation before sharing insights with the Cakravarti King,

The Cakravarti King, who had been trying to force his way throught the formation?s wall , was able to unleash greater resistance against the formation after gaining King Pingdeng?s insights. Even though he was trapped within the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation, the Cakravarti King stayed close to the eye of the formation and endless pursued after Li Yuanfang.

If Li Yuanfang were to be given an opportunity to initiate an attack on the trapped Cakravarti King, the Cakravarti King would lose control over the fight and might be outplayed by Li Yuanfang.

Of course, the Cakravarti King would never allow this to happen. Hence, he kept close to Li Yuanfang as he attempted to strike on Li Yuanfang instead of the formation.

And thus both parties began an immense battle within the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation. Li Yuanfang was still facing a lot of pressure from the Cakravarti King, especially under his continuous attacks. Both parties continued to sustain more and more injuries due to either close combat attacks or attacks from the formation.

After the opening of the four heavenly gates, the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation now had the Black Nightmare Saint-Trapping Formation to suppress one?s soul, the Formation of Nine Bends of the Heaven River to juggle both offensive and defensive requirements, the Heavenly Fire God-Slaughtering Formation?s penetrative ability, and the Light Dust Spell-Manifesting Formation?s mystical nature. These combination made its actions extremely unpredictable for the two Kings.

The squalls from the Nine Heavens Squall Formation were continuously channelled into the formation, which took their opportunity to attack both the Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng.

However, the four Heavenly Gates were still incomplete. Prior to this, Li Yuanfang was still experimenting and looking into how he could refine this technique.

When it came to incomplete techniques, Li Yuanfang would not have chose to use it unless he had no choice. The unpredictability of the technique was not something he would gamble his life against.

But in the current scenario where the battle was overly prolonged, Li Yuanfang had no choice but to simultaneously open all four Heavenly Gates to manage his offensive and defensive duties against both the Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng. Both parties were all stuck in an extremely precarious situation as both Hallmasters were assaulted by the formation whereas Li Yuanfang continued to be harrassed by the close combat expert, the Cakravarti King.

In fact, Li Yuanfang did not have the upperhand because he had yet to master the intricacies of the dynamics within the Opening of the Four Heavenly Gates. This resulted in instability within the formation, and any prolonged operation would result in an implosion.

Because of the immense pressure, beads of sweat started to form on Li Yuanfang?s forehead. However, he did not panic as a composed look remained on his face. Li Yuanfang mustered the mana within his body and pushed the limits of the transformations within the formation.

Because of the intense battle with both the Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng, Li Yuanfang?s cosmic form, soul and body were beginning to sustain more and more injuries.

However, Li Yuanfang?s insights on the Opening of Four Heavenly Gares was becoming clearer with the usage and experimentations.

Previously, he could only roughly figure out what the entire formation was all about, but he could now see the picture getting clearer as time went by.

Things that were previously incomprehensible were becoming more and more apparent as the battle went on.

The solemn look on Li Yuanfang?s face started to reveal tinges of hesitation as he tilted his head slightly upwards. Even though his consciousness was busy manipulating and controlling the formations, his gaze was glued at the void in the air. It was as though he was in deep thought.

It was at this moment when Li Yuanfang suddenly recalled what his Master, Lin Feng, had said.

?Yuanfang, you have a very mature and meticulous personality, but from another perspective, you could be considered a rather radical person.? That was a conversation which Lin Feng had not started with a joke or something funny. Instead, Lin Feng talked to him in a very serious and direct tone, ?Your way of cultivation requires you to be very meticulous and careful. This is very similar to the way your personality, and it might just be the path for you.?

?But nevertheless, this world is one without absolute. Emperor Ru sought to know the past, present and future using the Three Lifetimes Karmic Curse. Even though his cultivation was at a sufficiently high level, he was ultimately unable to achieve omniscience.?

Lin Feng looked at Li Yuanfang as he continued talking, ?It?s definitely possible for you to chase after your goals in a conscientious and calculated manner. But you must know that it?s impossible to ascertain everything. And when such moments arise, you must be brave and react accordingly.?

?More often than not, in your current generation of cultivators, there needs to be greater demonstration of courage to make difficult decisions which are beyond planning and the courage to accept whatever outcome that ensues.?

Now that Lin Feng?s words had reappeared in his mind, the hesitant look on Li Yuanfang?s face was replaced with a determined look.

Li Yuanfang might have lost the upperhand but he was confident that if he were to focus all of his energy on his defence, he would be able to parry all of the attacks from the Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng.

But the situation before him was changing every instant and the Principles of the Emperor of the Dead were continuing in their advances. After taking in all of these, Li Yuanfang reacted in a very wild manner that was very unlike the usually mature and meticulous way he carried himself.

He crushed a ceramic bottle with his hand and emptied a pill which had a white mist enshrouding it. Very quickly, he popped the pill into his mouth.

The gate to the attainment of the Immortal Soul stage, a usually vague and unclear prospect, was now extremely clear for Li Yuanfang.

Today?s bloody battle had given him a lot of insights about his mantras and technique, setting the foundation for an advancement through the bottleneck which he had been stuck at for a period of time.

But the only problem now was the situation which he was in. Li Yuanfang was surrounded by enemies harboring malicious intents and any attempt to advance into the Immortal Soul stage right now would almost be equivalent to suicide.

Attempting to advance into the Immortal Soul stage would be something which the normal Li Yuanfang would never have considered.

But it could be the anxiety from the dangerous situation or the exhilaration from breaking through the bottleneck or the obstination and determination to defeat a formidable martial way specialist which had pushed him to attempt something considered to be extreme by his normal behavior.

Li Yuanfang felt that this moment was just as Lin Feng had said, a moment of choice and responsibility.

It would be a decision which victory was merely a possibility and not a definite outcome.

After today, Li Yuanfang might never act on such an impulse again. It might just be his first and last act of impulse in his lifetime. But at this moment, any hint of hesitation had long vanished as he set his mind on what he was about to do.

Li Yuanfang?s nascent soul emerged from his forehead and transformed into a flash of light before merging with his cosmic form. Together, they blasted through the entire concept of the gate leading to the Immortal Soul stage.

The Cakravarti King and Kin Pingdeng sensed the intentions of Li Yuanfang and were both utterly shocked to learn that Li Yuanfang was about to attempt to advance into the Immortal Soul stage despite being in such a challenging predicament.

?Are you looking for death?!? The Cakravarti King roared after recovering from the shock. But very soon, a cold glare replaced his furious expression as he started to ignore the attacks unleashed by the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation on him as he surged towards Li Yuanfang.

King Pingdeng was also infuriated by Li Yuanfang?s actions as he steered the Boat of River Luo before making a few hand signs. The Heluo Nine Palace Formation morphed as the lines which trailed around the formation gave off a blinding flash, sending nine pillars of light flying towards Li Yuanfang.

But right at the moment when Li Yuanfang?s nascent soul combined with the cosmic form, under his influence, the entire Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation started to vibrate before shattering on its own.

The violent energy tore the void apart as all four elements transformed into a powerful storm transforming everything surrounding it into chaos.

The Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng tried to resist against the impact of the storm and even sought to kill Li Yuanfang amidst his attempt to advance into the Immortal Soul stage.

But other than the shattering of the Heluo Heavenly Gate Formation, the Nine Heavens Squall Formation on the outside had also sank into a state of chaos as the powerful and merciless formless squalls barged their way around the void.

This was also Li Yuanfang?s first ever deliberate attempt to set the entire formation into chaos and to let it run wild on its own accord.

Such explosion was not a result of the enemy?s attack but an act of detonation by the caster of the formation. The humongous energy present within the formation would be released and would transform the surrounding void space into an ocean of chaos.

The Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng were now both trapped within this ocean of chaos as they were constantly assaulted by the chaotic spiritual energy, resulting in their current state of mess.

Li Yuanfang was still him at the end of the day. Despite the act of gambling, he was still trying his best to prepare whatever he could and was not planning to send himself into a state where death was an inevitability.

Despite entering a furious mental state, the Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng had no choice but to pause their plans.

?Such explosive power is indeed powerful… But it would never be able to last, ? the Cakravarti King mumbled as the murderous intent in his eyes glistened. ?It would be impossible for you to advance into the Immortal Soul stage in such a short period of time…?

At the thought of this, the eyes of the Cakravarti King widened. King Pingdeng also revealed a similar expression.

The merged entity of Li Yuanfang?s cosmic form and his nascent soul appeared to have been transported through the gate leading to the attainment of the Immortal Soul stage and had received purification from the Taoism which belong to the Heaven and Earth. The cosmic form exploded into many bits and pieces of scriptures and as though they were little formations, they began to rotate in mid-air.

In the next instant, these bits and pieces of scriptures began to amass in the middle of the void and revealed a humongous Taoist logo. The logo which was half-black and half-white with both polarities combining in the S-shaped arc, as the logo rotated in mid-air.

Above the Taichi Diagram, a humongous Nine Palace Diagram appeared. The Nine Palaces were surrounded by the four Heavenly Gates which all faced different directions.

A deep and mellow voice resonated within the void, a sound peaceful yet powerful at the same time.

Attainment of the Immortal Soul stage!

The Soul-Repressing Clock was wrapped by the humongous Taichi Diagram and brough for a quick revolution around the void before transforming into a youth donning a purple attire.

Both King Pingdeng and the Cakravarti King revealed a look of disbelief as they stared at the newly reborned Li Yuanfang. ?How could it be so fast?!?

No one would be surprise if they were to hear about how Li Yuanfang had the potential to attain the Immortal SOul stage. But the ability to attain the stage in such a short period of time was something which had exceeded the imaginative capacity of the Cakravarti King and had upsetted whatever understanding they had about cultivation for years!

The newly reborned Li Yuanfang looked calm and steady as usual as he brought his palms together. A humongous formation materialized in the air and surrounded the Cakravarti King and King Pingdeng!
