Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Three distinct and terrifying forces, which should have annihilated each other, achieved a brief but dangerous balance under the almost self-destructive forceful control of the Guixu Compass Embryo.

The runes on the Void Origin Armor, which had lit up again, emitted a deep hum, like the breath of an abyss demon god before awakening. Power, an unprecedentedly violent force, carrying the contradictory rhythm of destruction and rebirth, surged and roared within his shattered body.

At the edge of the deep, bone-revealing sword wound on his right fist, the remaining sword energy was fiercely swept into and refined by the newly born Abyss Flame, emitting a sizzling wail. The wound was forcibly healed and suppressed at a visible speed by a layer of dark gold and emerald gold interwoven energy.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the deep, dark green seawater, locking onto the center of the chaotic energy storm above him—the location of the Ferry of Life and Death!
The Ferry of Withering and Flourishing, the evil fortress of Medicine King Valley sailing on the Sea of ​​Burial Stars, has now become a mobile purgatory floating in a cloud of poisonous smoke.

The secret altar at the core of the ship's cabin was filled with such a thick, almost tangible, stench of blood and decay.

On the face of the Poisonous Granny, which was covered with wrinkles like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree, only twisted greed and fanaticism remained.

At the center of the altar stands a gigantic, menacing-looking medicine cauldron—the Cauldron of Ten Thousand Poisons Returning to Origin.

The cauldron is covered with distorted insect reliefs, and its mouth is filled with a thick, ink-like stench that constantly transforms into various poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.

Beneath the cauldron, a ghostly green soul fire, somewhere between illusion and reality, was burning fiercely, emitting a chill that could freeze one's soul.

Above the cauldron, Mo Yu's body floated, like a sacrificial lamb.

The black energy of the Ten Thousand Poison Soul-Devouring Needles had already invaded every corner of his body, turning his skin into a strange bluish-black color, covered with spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would shatter into dust at any moment.

A faint trace of pure life essence, imbued with the sharpness of a sword, was being forcibly drawn from his crown by a tyrannical suction force and continuously poured into the Myriad Poisons Returning to Origin Cauldron below.

Inside the cauldron, the foul air churned even more violently, and the outline of a nascent pill, which was somewhere between reality and illusion and whose surface was filled with the shimmering light of life and death, could be vaguely seen—the Nine-Turn Life and Death Mystic Pill!
"Hehehe...almost there, just one last step!" Granny Poison Heart let out a piercing laugh like a night owl. "Soul extraction! Using the Refining Sword Embryo Bone as a guide, this Nine Revolutions Life and Death Profound Pill will surely help me glimpse the gate of life and death and achieve the supreme path of poison!"

Her withered fingers formed a vicious hand seal, and dozens of thin, pale green threads of light wrapped around her fingertips, which she then thrust towards the corner of the altar!
There, Mo Yu's natal sword—the Burial Abyss Black Sword—was impaled on a bizarre rack by nine chains formed entirely of dense poisonous mist.

The chains shimmered with an eerie light, constantly absorbing the annihilating sword intent and star death energy contained within the black sword itself, transforming it into pure resentful energy, which was then injected into the soul fire at the center of the altar, accelerating the extraction of Mo Yu's life essence and the condensation of the Xuan Dan.

"Sword Soul, return to your place!" Granny Poison Heart shouted sharply, her eyes flashing with green light!

The dozens of pale green light threads suddenly straightened, like the forked tongues of venomous snakes, and fiercely stabbed towards the core of the Burial Abyss Black Sword's hilt, which was trembling violently! This was one of the most crucial steps in refining the Profound Pill: forcibly extracting and refining the sword soul!
Just as the pale green light was about to touch the hilt of the sword—

hum!
An unprecedented wave of desolation suddenly erupted from the depths of the sword!
That wasn't Mo Yu's conscious will, but rather the last bit of his original true spirit that exploded from the depths of his soul, which was on the verge of complete collapse and destruction, when he sensed the terrifying will of his master Yu Changsheng to break through the abyss, and when he sensed the ultimate fear that he was about to be completely obliterated and reduced to ashes in the pill furnace!
This fluctuation was pure to the extreme, cold to the extreme, and utterly still to the extreme!

It ignored the corrosive effects of the Soul-Devouring Needles and the restraints of the poisonous mist chains, as if it originated directly from the sigh of the end of the universe!
Boom!

The entire Ferry of Life and Death trembled violently! The nine poisonous mist chains that were firmly pinning the Black Sword of Burial Abyss were as if they had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer!
Click! Click! Click!

Several chains snapped instantly, turning into a dissipating, pale green mist!

The remaining chains also instantly dimmed and twisted violently, as if they would collapse at any moment!

Suddenly, the blade of the Burial Abyss Black Sword burst forth with an unprecedented dark light, and the sound of the sword was no longer a mournful cry, but transformed into a piercing shriek that pierced the clouds and tore apart the soul!

"What?!" The sinister smile on Granny Poison Heart's face froze instantly, replaced by extreme shock and a hint of unbelievable fear.

"Impossible! His very soul should have been completely eroded by the Soul-Devouring Needles! This annihilating sword intent..."

Her words came to an abrupt halt.

Because the Burial Abyss Black Sword, which had broken free of some of its restraints, did not attack her. Instead, it turned its blade and, with a desolate and world-destroying intent, fiercely slashed at the Myriad Poisons Returning to Origin Cauldron in the center of the altar, which suppressed and refined everything!
An isolated battlefield, the pinnacle of chaos.

The deep hum of the main cannon of the "Sky Patrol" cloud ship of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau charging was like the countdown of death. The blazing white light gathered at the muzzle illuminated Situ Xuan at the bow of the ship, making him look like a metal deity. In his eyes, there was only the increasingly clear emerald and golden figure in the core crystal of the isolated island—Chen Xueqing! The single red light of the mechanical giant soldier locked on tightly, ready to fire.

The Venerable Xuantian hovered in front of the sword boat, his face as calm as still water, but a cold calculation flickered deep in his eyes.

He did not stop Situ Xuan, but instead quietly condensed his own powerful sword energy, like a sword hanging overhead, locking onto the emerald-gold barrier around Chen Xueqing that was supported by the "Return to the Void - Source Pivot".

He was waiting, waiting for the moment when the barrier was weakened to its limit by Situ Xuan's main cannon, so that he could use the thunderous methods of the Xuantian Sword Sect to settle the world in one fell swoop!
The unexpected turn of events involving Granny Poison Heart instantly threw the situation off balance. The terrifying sword cries and energy fluctuations emanating from the direction of the Withered Glory Ferry caused Venerable Xuantian and Situ Xuan to glance at it briefly, inwardly cursing the Medicine King Valley for their incompetence and blunders!
"Now! Make your move!" A fierce glint flashed in Situ Xuan's eyes, and without hesitation, he launched his attack!
"Annihilation Cannon! Fire!"

boom--!!

A beam of blazing white light, about ten feet in diameter, pure to the extreme, containing the fundamental rules that obliterate all matter and energy, tore through space and instantly spanned a vast ocean!
The target is the core of the isolated island!

Almost at the same instant that Situ Xuan gave the order, Venerable Xuantian pointed his fingers like a sword and pointed them in the air towards Chen Xueqing!
A condensed, tangible, and seemingly capable of severing the laws of the Great Dao—"Severing the Dao"—arrived first despite being delayed, transcending spatial distance and precisely striking the weakest point of the crumbling emerald-gold barrier!
Although Granny Poison Heart was shocked and furious by Mo Yu's backlash, she realized that she couldn't let others steal the fruits of her labor. With a shrill cry, she spewed out a large amount of viscous, asphalt-like foul miasma from the stern of the Withered Glory Ferry, like an evil dragon emerging from its cave, following the two killing moves, and rushed straight at Chen Xueqing!
She wants to take advantage of the chaos to seize this supreme spiritual body that possesses the essence of purification!

Three attacks!

A world-destroying beam of light! A sword aura that cleaves through the Dao! A wisp of foul, poisonous miasma!
The target is Chen Xueqing!

Within the emerald-gold barrier, Chen Xueqing's spirit form was as pale as paper, her body appearing in a semi-transparent, ethereal state. She was fully activating "Return to the Void: Source Pivot," the core crystal of the isolated island radiating unprecedented light around her, attempting to channel and transform this superimposed attack that was capable of destroying everything.

However, Situ Xuan's Annihilation Cannon contains the pure law of "erasure", Xuan Tian Venerable's Dao-Slaying Sword Qi is aimed at the root of protecting the Dao Rhyme, and Poison Heart Granny's Foul Qi Poisonous Miasma is specifically designed to defile the original spiritual light!
scoff!

The emerald-gold barrier was struck first at its weakest point by the sharpness of the sword energy, emitting a heart-wrenching tearing sound! Immediately afterward, the blazing white torrent of the Annihilation Cannon, like a red-hot iron rod piercing into ice, instantly widened the crack! Foul air and poisonous miasma, like maggots clinging to the bone, surged wildly into the crack, corroding it!

The barrier flickered wildly, its light fading and shifting. Chen Xueqing's spirit body trembled violently, her figure becoming increasingly illusory at a visible speed. Tiny specks of emerald-gold light spilled from the corners of her mouth—the burning and dissipation of her spiritual essence!

"No—!" A frantic scream pierced through the deep sea and crashed into Yu Changsheng's consciousness! It was Chen Xueqing's last lament before the barrier was about to shatter completely and she was about to be completely devoured by the three attacks!
"Xueqing—!!!"

In the deep, dark seabed, Yu Changsheng let out a deafening roar! The roar did not travel through the seawater, but originated from the violent tremors of his newly formed Guixu Compass Dao Embryo, mixed with the raging will of the Abyss Fire, forming an invisible soul howl that swept across the entire seabed of the Burial Star Sea!
boom!!!!!
Centered on the spot where he fell, the dark golden, strange rune array that had been dormant for hundreds of millions of years on the seabed surface within a radius of thousands of feet—the "Ruins Furnace"—was suddenly illuminated! Like stagnant water tossed with a boulder, an unimaginably vast, dark green vortex instantly formed on the seabed!

At the center of the vortex was Yu Changsheng!
He was like the embodiment of the void itself!
On the cracked Guixu Origin Armor, dark gold runes flickered wildly, frantically drawing in the vast, deathly energy and the stellar resentment accumulated over billions of years from the furnace array beneath its feet; while emerald gold runes operated wildly like an overloaded engine, forcibly injecting this terrifying energy, enough to crush a Mahayana cultivator, into the rekindled Abyss Fire!

Boom!

The underwater reef beneath his feet instantly turned to dust!

Yu Changsheng soared into the sky!

It was no longer the helplessness of falling, but like a demon breaking free from hell!

Its speed exceeded the limit, carrying behind it a massive dark green vortex that stirred up thousands of acres of seawater, and it shot towards the Star Burial Sea, towards the isolated island battlefield, and towards the three attacks that were about to destroy everything!

The seawater formed a vacuum tunnel behind him! His right fist clenched tightly, the dark gold patterns repaired on the Void Origin Armor flowing with a destructive luster. His entire fist was enveloped in a terrifying energy sphere that spun wildly, its interior shimmering with dark gold, emerald gold, and ashen light—a highly compressed aggregation of the power of the Void Origin Embryo, the Flame of the Abyss, and the desolate energy of the massive Burial Star Sea that it had devoured! The target was none other than the trajectory of the blazing white beam of light from Situ Xuan's Annihilation Cannon!

"Get out of my way!!!"

Yu Changsheng's roar, fueled by the burning blood of the Chaos Emperor, carried with it the power of countless years of star death and the vast resentment drawn from the entire "Return to the Ruins Furnace" array, mixed with the ruling power of the newly formed Return to the Ruins Compass Dao Embryo and the tyrannical will of the Abyss Flame, all compressed onto his right fist, which was wrapped in a stream of destructive light in three colors: dark gold, emerald gold, and ashes!

His figure no longer bursts out of the abyss, but instead pulls the entire abyss upside down and rises!

The enormous dark green vortex behind him was the embodiment of his unparalleled power, the furious roar of the Void itself!
The seawater wasn't parted before him; instead, its very existence was instantly erased by that terrifying energy, forming an absolute vacuum tunnel that stretched straight to the sea surface!

The target is—the [Annihilation Cannon] fired by Situ Xuan!
That thick, blazing white beam of destructive light contained the highest creation of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace's law of negation of "existence" itself; it was a pure force of annihilation. It tore through space, carrying the will to end everything, and ruthlessly shot towards the emerald-gold barrier at the core of the isolated island.

Two trajectories, one from top to bottom and the other from bottom to top, collided with a deafening roar in the depths of the Burial Star Sea, thousands of feet away from the core of the isolated island!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, at least not in the very first moment.

Instead, a terrifying sound of annihilation, surpassing the limits of human hearing and capable of shattering the soul, was heard!
That was the ultimate collision between the law of "annihilation" and the power of "return to nothingness," a contest between two concepts of destruction!
Contact point!
The blazing white beam of light and the three-colored, swirling energy sphere were locked together! The blazing white light frantically tried to "erasure" the energy aggregate that represented chaos, devouring, and primal violence, like the sharpest blade cutting into the toughest rock!
Meanwhile, the power of the Guixu Dao Embryo on Yu Changsheng's fist, under the control of the Guixu Compass, displayed terrifying inclusiveness and devouring power. The emerald gold runes operated wildly, attempting to analyze and transform the energy structure of the law of annihilation; the dark gold runes, like greedy maws, savagely devoured the decomposed energy fragments.
The ashen-colored flames of the Abyss burned stubbornly in the annihilation crevice, incinerating "annihilation" itself, carrying an indomitable imperial will!

Stalemate!

A terrifying stalemate!

Centered on the point of collision, an unimaginable distorting force field was instantly formed!

Space was no longer distorted, but presented a strange "glassy" shattered state, with countless dark cracks spreading like a spider web, which were forcibly healed, torn apart, and healed again by violent energy!

The seawater? It no longer exists!
The vast expanse of sea was instantly evaporated and decomposed, forming a massive, despair-inducing vacuum sphere!
Seabed reefs, sediments, and even the Earth's crust deeper within it all silently transform into the most primitive particles of dust!
"Pfft—!" Yu Changsheng was struck dumb!

The wounds that had just been forcibly healed on the Guixu Origin Armor burst open again. The edges of the deep sword marks, which revealed the bone, flickered violently with dark gold and emerald gold energy, attempting to repair themselves, but they could not keep up with the speed of destruction!

His fist felt as if it were being repeatedly pierced and ground by millions of red-hot steel needles. The Guixu Compass Dao Embryo in his dantian groaned in despair, and the cracks were widening!

The Chaos Emperor's blood burned at its limit, sustaining his last will and his undying fist! (End of Chapter)
