Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

On the Sky Patrol, the metallic sheen on Situ Xuan's face vanished instantly, turning deathly pale!
The main control room was filled with piercing alarms, and sparks flew from countless sophisticated rune instruments!
The firing core of the Annihilation Cannon.

The "Core of Law Annihilation," which embodies the hard work of generations of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Mansion, is emitting a tooth-grinding, near-disintegration scream!

The terrifying backlash caused the entire massive cloud ship to tremble violently, its structure groaning! For the first time, disbelief and horror appeared in his eyes as he stared intently at the tiny yet godlike figure in the center of the light screen.

"Impossible! Flesh and blood... can actually withstand the Annihilation Cannon?! What kind of monster is this?!"

Over the deserted island!

Just as Yu Changsheng clashed with the Annihilation Cannon, Xuan Tian Venerable's [Slaying Dao Sword Qi] and Poison Heart Granny's [Foul Qi Poisonous Miasma] also crashed into the torn and corroded emerald-gold barrier around Chen Xueqing almost simultaneously!

*Sizzle!*

The sword energy that cleaved through the barrier was incomparably sharp, striking the weakest point of the barrier with unparalleled precision! Like an indestructible blade of law, it instantly tore the crack into a huge gap!

The light from the barrier flickered wildly, like a candle in the wind, its brightness extremely uncertain!
Immediately following, thick, tar-like foul fumes, exuding a stench and endless resentment, surged wildly into the breach like millions of maggots attracted by the smell of blood!
They are ubiquitous, relentlessly eroding and polluting the pure primordial power that forms the barrier—the very foundation of Chen Xueqing's spirit!

"Ugh—!"

Chen Xueqing's spirit let out a piercing cry that went straight to the depths of her soul!
The already translucent body flickered violently at this moment, as if it would disintegrate into countless points of light at any moment.

The golden light no longer spilled from the corners of her mouth, but instead, like the flames of life that had been burned out, dissipated from all parts of her spirit!

The barrier is about to shatter completely!
Three destructive forces were about to engulf her completely, like a flood bursting its banks!
Xuan Tian Venerable's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and sword energy pulsed from his fingertips. He was ready to deliver a fatal blow to Chen Xueqing the moment the barrier shattered and seize the core of the Returning Void Guide!

The Poisonous Granny's face once again revealed a greedy, sinister smile as she manipulated the poisonous miasma, aiming directly at Chen Xueqing's spiritual essence!
Almost at the same time, on the altar of the Ferry of Life and Death!

Clang—!!!
The Burial Abyss Black Sword, imbued with the purest and most utterly desolate sword intent ignited by the last bit of Mo Yu's original true spirit, struck the body of the Myriad Poisons Returning to Origin Cauldron with a fierce slash, like an echo of the end of the universe!
There was no earth-shattering noise.

There was only a desolate silence that froze the soul, as if time itself had been completely ripped away!
The embossed images of writhing poisonous insects on the cauldron instantly lost all their luster and vitality the moment they were touched by the sword's light, turning into dust silently like a stubborn rock weathered for millions of years!

The viscous, foul air churning at the mouth of the cauldron seemed to have encountered its absolute nemesis. The moment the desolate sword intent swept over it, it violently churned and screamed, then vanished and dissipated in large swaths!
*Snap snap snap—!*
The massive cauldron, which was incredibly hard and contained the essence of countless poisons, was actually cleaved open by that seemingly dim sword light, leaving a terrifying crack about an inch deep!
The crack's edges were as smooth as a mirror, displaying an absolute deathly gray color; any energy attempting to approach would be instantly annihilated!

"No—my cauldron! My elixir!!!"

The venomous old woman's scream nearly overturned the cabin! The greed and sneer on her face were instantly replaced by immense terror and madness!

The crack not only damaged the cauldron, but also pierced through the nascent [Nine Revolutions Life and Death Profound Pill] that was condensing inside!
Boom! !

An indescribable torrent of energy, a chaotic cycle of life and death, and a reversal of yin and yang, suddenly erupted from the crack!
It was no longer pure filth, but rather a mixture of pure life and death essence power forcibly detonated by the sword intent of annihilation, and the backlash power of all poisons that had been thoroughly enraged!

This chaotic and violent torrent of energy, like an out-of-control evil dragon, crashed violently into the blazing, ghostly green soul fire in the center of the altar!

Boom!!!

The soul fire flickered violently, emitting a shrill wail!
The rune array of the core altar was instantly shattered by the impact, its light flashing wildly. The entire Ferry of Life and Death was violently rocked and tilted as if struck by a giant hammer! Countless cabins collapsed, poisonous gas leaked, and screams filled the air!
Poisonous Granny was the first to be hit, and was violently thrown away by the backlash. Her withered body crashed into the hard bulkhead, and she spat out a mouthful of dark green blood. Her aura instantly weakened, and her eyes were filled with shock, anger and disbelief!

And the suspended figure swept by that chaotic torrent—Mo Yu!
The cracked, bluish-black body jolted violently!
The suction force that was forcibly extracting his life essence suddenly stopped! The black energy of the Ten Thousand Poison Soul-Devouring Needles that had invaded his body was momentarily stagnant and dissipated by the impact of this violent life and death energy and the aftershocks of annihilation!

More importantly, by sheer coincidence, the pure yet extremely chaotic life-and-death primordial energy emanating from the exploded nascent elixir and soul fire flowed back into the depths of his body, which was on the verge of complete collapse, through the last remaining connection between the Burial Abyss Black Sword and the depths of Mo Yu's soul!

This is not a cure, but rather like pouring ice water into a pot of boiling oil!

What followed was an even more intense and devastating conflict!

Mo Yu's body was like a furnace about to explode, the bluish-black color under his skin surging wildly, and the cracks spreading rapidly, as if he would be completely reduced to ashes in the next second!
However, deep within his soul, the primordial spirit that had been ignited by sensing Yu Changsheng's will and was about to be completely extinguished suddenly burst forth with a faint yet extremely tenacious, cold and lifeless light under the impact of this violent torrent of life and death, as if the last piece of firewood had been thrown in!

The Burial Abyss Black Sword broke free from the remaining chains of poisonous mist, wailing as its tip pointed at Mo Yu, trembling violently! It was calling upon its master's will, which was about to completely dissipate!

A glimmer of hope amidst the core of the Sea of ​​Burial Stars—a vortex of destruction!
Time seemed to pass in an instant, yet it also felt like a century had gone by.

The point of impact between Yu Changsheng and the Annihilation Cannon!
At the center of that stagnant, all-consuming, terrifying force field, the critical point was finally reached!

boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An indescribable shockwave of destruction finally erupted! This was no ordinary explosion, but an annihilation tide that swept everything after the collision of two ultimate laws of destruction! A massive sphere of destructive light, mixed with blazing white, dark gold, emerald gold, ash, as well as spatial fragments and death dust, expanded wildly at an unimaginable speed!

Wherever it passed, space shattered and collapsed, returning to the most primordial chaos!
The vacuum zone that had been evaporated was instantly filled with this energy, and then it spread outward in an even more terrifying way!

The airspace above the isolated island will be the first to be affected!

The three attacks that were about to completely engulf Chen Xueqing—the end of the beam of light from the Annihilation Cannon, the remaining sword energy of the Dao-Slaying Technique, and the foul miasma swirling around the gap in the barrier—were instantly scattered, twisted, and torn apart like candle flames in a gale under the impact of this annihilation tide that swept everything from below!
Situ Xuan's Annihilation Cannon beam was forcibly severed in the middle!
The front end was swallowed and dissolved by the annihilation tide, while the energy source at the rear end frantically backfired at the bow of the Sky Patrol Ship, triggering a violent secondary explosion!

A huge hole was blasted in the stern of the massive cloud ship, flames and turbulent energy surged out, the ship tilted, and countless fragments fell like meteors!

Situ Xuan was thrown backward by the shock, crashing into the wall of the control room. His metal armor shattered, blood spurted from his mouth, and his face was filled with horror!
The Xuan Tian Venerable's incredibly refined sword energy was forcibly distorted and scattered by most of it under the impact of this sweeping chaotic energy! Although he managed to stabilize himself with his profound cultivation, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with shock and solemnity!

His poised attack was interrupted, and the frustration of missing the best opportunity to lock onto Chen Xueqing was intertwined with his fear of the terrifying power displayed by Yu Changsheng.

The foul miasma and poisonous aura of the Poisonous Granny were like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun. When it was hit by the violent annihilation energy and the aura of the embers, it immediately made a sizzling melting sound and dissipated in large areas!
The force that was flowing into the gap in the barrier was forcibly cut off and purified!
Poisonous Granny suffered another backlash inside the magic boat, spitting out another mouthful of foul blood. Her breathing became even more disordered, and her eyes, looking at the center of the shockwave, were filled with resentment and a hint of barely perceptible fear.

And that crumbling emerald-gold barrier—[Return to the Ruins: Origin Pivot]!
Just before it was about to completely collapse, it was violently struck by the destructive energy surge rising from the seabed and sweeping everything away!

Snap! Crash—!!!
The barrier, like shattered crystal, finally collapsed completely!

However, at the very moment the barrier collapsed, a strange thing happened!

The emerald-gold light spots that disintegrated and dispersed, containing powerful purification and life-originating energy, did not completely dissipate in the violent energy impact.

Some of the light spots seemed to have found an outlet, and were suddenly attracted to the huge, strange crystal at the core of the isolated island, which Chen Xueqing had fully activated!
The crystal burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light, which, like the last protective force, formed a light membrane that, though no longer complete, was exceptionally resilient. It barely enveloped Chen Xueqing's almost completely illusory, nearly extinct spirit body whose essence had dissipated!
She was enveloped by this last crystalline light, like the last stubborn leaf in a storm, and was violently thrown away by the destructive shockwave!
The emerald-golden light trailed behind it, leaving a poignant and fleeting streak as it plunged into the unknown darkness of the Sea of ​​Burial Stars.

"Xue Qing—!!" Yu Changsheng roared in anguish from the heart of the explosion! He had witnessed the barrier shatter and the faint light plummet into the abyss! He wanted to rush over, but at that moment, he himself was also trapped in a desperate situation!

The cost of directly confronting the Annihilation Cannon is beyond imagination!
Cracks covered the Guixu Origin Armor, and the dark gold and emerald gold runes had dimmed to an extreme level, as if they would be extinguished at any moment. The bones of his right arm were shattered inch by inch, and the flesh was a bloody mess. The three-colored energy that had been enveloping his fist had long been exhausted in the explosion.

Even more deadly is what's inside the body!
The Dao Embryo of the Returning Void Compass was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch. The massive amount of dead energy and resentment that had been forcibly controlled and devoured was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. Without the perfect suppression of the Dao Embryo, it was rampaging and ravaging his shattered meridians and internal organs!
The Flames of the Abyss had lost control; they were no longer the protective flames, but karmic fires scorching his very life essence! The burning of the Chaos Emperor's Blood was also nearing its end!
He was struck hard by the destructive energy he had detonated himself, as well as the remaining energy from the Annihilation Cannon!
Like a kite with a broken string, carried by the aftershocks of the annihilating tide, it flew backward uncontrollably!

The direction it was heading subtly overlapped with the direction Chen Xueqing had fallen from!
The Venerable Xuantian barely suppressed his churning blood and qi, watching the two figures plummeting into the deep sea. A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Strike while the iron is hot! The Returning Void Dao Embryo and the Returning Void Guide must be obtained!"

With a flash of sword light, he steered his sword boat, ignoring the chaotic energy turbulence, transforming into a streak of sword light that chased straight after Yu Changsheng! The Dao-slaying sword energy condensed once more at his fingertips!

Situ Xuan struggled to his feet, looking at the mess on the bow of the ship and the severely damaged Xuntian, then at the direction where Yu Changsheng had fallen, his eyes filled with rage and greed.

"Damn ants! How dare you destroy my Shenzhou! The power of the Void... is mine! Activate all secondary cannons, aim at the target area, and bombard it indiscriminately! Blast him out of here!"

Inside the Ferry of Withering and Flourishing, Granny Poison Heart forcibly suppressed her injuries. Looking at the cracked Ten Thousand Poisons Returning to Origin Cauldron on the altar, Mo Yu on the verge of exploding, and the Burial Abyss Black Sword pointing at Mo Yu with a mournful cry, a crazy determination flashed in her eyes.

"My Xuan Dan! My destiny! Even if it's destroyed, I can't let those two old ghosts benefit from it! Mo Yu... your sword embryo and Dao bone, this Annihilation Sword Soul, and the life and death essence remaining in the cauldron... are just the right resources for me to heal my injuries and advance further!"

Her withered fingers formed a hand seal once more. This time, instead of a wisp of light, she spat out a mouthful of her life essence, transforming it into an even more sinister and vicious crimson rune, which she slammed down on the struggling Mo Yu and the Burial Abyss Black Sword! She was going to forcibly devour and refine them!

Sensing the deadly evil aura, the Burial Abyss Black Sword unleashed its final, unwilling, and annihilated sword intent in an attempt to block it.

But under the relentless blood curse of the Poisonous Granny, Jianming once again became low and sorrowful.

The chaotic torrent of life and death and the extinguishing light within Mo Yu's body, guided by this evil blood curse, became even more violent and disordered. Wisps of light, mixed with death and strange vitality, began to emanate from the cracks in his body...

The Sea of ​​Buried Stars, this despairing sea that buries stars, has fallen into unprecedented rage and chaos due to this earth-shattering collision.

The abyss is roaring, the energy is howling.

Situ Xuan gripped the edge of the control panel tightly, his knuckles turning white. His meticulously planned ship-seizing scheme had been torn open in such a tragic way by a lowly soldier who should have died in the deep sea!

The palpitation had not yet subsided, and it was replaced by a deeper sense of dread and murderous intent—Yu Changsheng must not be allowed to live!
He roared the order: "Full power secondary gun matrix! Target impact point! Saturation bombardment! Annihilate him completely!"

The Sky Patrol's damaged hull emitted a rumbling sound as if it were about to break free, and countless secondary cannons gleamed with blinding light, poised to fire. (End of Chapter)
