Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Yu Changsheng hovered at the core of the array diagram, the cracked source armor peeled off fragments, and the dark gold imperial blood surged out and turned into blazing white steam.

Within the dantian, five destructive dragons—the primordial chaos gray, the corrosive, ethereal green, the poisonous aura dark purple, the blazing white embers of the abyss, and the resentment of the stars black—torn and writhed, each collision bringing the newly formed Guixu Compass Dao Embryo to the brink of disintegration.

The radiance of the emerald gold imprint teetered precariously amidst the energy storm, and the guiding rune chains stretched taut as if about to snap.

The overwhelming will of the Devouring Mother Nest, carrying the desperate cries of billions of living beings, crashed violently into the sea of ​​consciousness!

"Return to the Ruins... Dao Embryo... Forger... Core... Devour!"

A cold, greedy whisper, twisted like billions of worms drilling into the soul.

"Roar--!"

Yu Changsheng's eyes snapped open, the chaotic gray and the devouring green swirling wildly, and the cracks on his body suddenly burst open! The primal power forged in the furnace now turned into a death warrant, and the excruciating pain overwhelmed all perception.

Deep within his eyes, chaotic gray, blazing white embers, and dark green ruins... the three colors of light alternated and rotated, as deep as an abyss and as burning as a prison!
A terrifying aura, a mixture of endless deathly silence, world-burning flames, and the will to devour the void, spread silently from him, like an ancient ferocious beast awakening, temporarily dispelling the immense pressure of the Mother Nest's will within the furnace space for a moment!
His gaze pierced through the thick seawater, as if he could see directly the enormous, eerie green vortex on the surface of the sea that was devouring everything, the main cannon core of the Sky Patrol aimed at the core of the vortex and was accumulating destructive light, the sword light of Venerable Xuantian slashing at the core wreckage of the isolated island but being blocked by the emerald golden light rope, and the lotus boat that Elder Qingyi was struggling to support...

Furthermore, they sensed the faint, yet indomitable, sword-like light struggling and weaving through the turbulent currents—Mo Yu!
铮！
A sword rang out!
Faint, yet like the first ray of light at the dawn of creation, it pierced through the immense pressure of the sea, through the chaotic and violent energy storm, and through the viscous and vicious roar of the Mother Nest!

That was the lament of the Burial Abyss, the final act of Mo Yu's defiance!

The sword intent was pure and deathly still, yet at the end of destruction, it conveyed a resolute determination to sever shackles: Not dead! Still fighting! Sever its claws and teeth!

Like a thunderbolt splitting the chaos!

His unfocused pupils suddenly focused! The phantom of Mo Yu fighting a bloody battle with his sword, the emerald-gold light scattering from Chen Xueqing's spirit body, the cannon muzzle of Situ Xuan's grin, the greedy sword of Xuan Tian Venerable, the withered claws of the Poison Heart Granny with resentment... countless images exploded in his burning will!

"Protect... Xueqing...and...exterminate...all...the...enemies!!!"

The soul roars! The unwavering will to protect transforms into a raging fire, instantly igniting the dormant source of the Abyss!
boom--!!!
No longer the sparks escaping from his body, the dormant Flame of the Abyss erupted like a volcano suppressed for millennia, bursting forth from his cracked core, from every wound on his limbs, and from the spiderweb-like gaps in his Void Origin Armor!

The blazing white flames instantly engulfed the surrounding dark green seawater, scorching the heavy mercury sea into a huge vacuum sphere!

"Drawing away evil spirits to the void, all streams returning to their source! Forging me in the furnace, reborn from the abyss!"

The cry of the soul aroused the radiant light of the emerald gold imprint! The purifying power of the Pure Lotus was purer than ever before, transforming into the most resilient barrier to protect the core.

The true meaning of "The Return to the Void: The Source and Flow" is clearer than ever before, the guiding rope suddenly taut, and the great Dao's voice is emanating!

Actively swallow!

The devouring properties of the Guixu Dao Embryo were pushed to an unprecedented limit under the ultimate burning of the Ember Abyss Fire, the precise guidance of the Emerald Gold Imprint, and the immense support of the Furnace Array Diagram!
He is no longer a stubborn piece of iron being forged, but a furnace that has opened its massive jaws on its own initiative!
Whoosh—!
The heavy, dark green seawater was no longer an obstacle, but the purest "Oblivion Essence"!
The vast and primordial origin conveyed by the furnace array diagram is the supreme power driving the forging hammer!

The once rampant alien energies—the sharp fragments of the Annihilation Sword Intent, the greedy corrosion of the remaining Void Devouring Worm, the sinister essence of the Myriad Poisonous Qi, the cold despair of the Starry Resentment—are all now ignited by the Flame of the Abyss, turning into the most violent fuel, propelling the forging process!

Chi Chi Chi -!
The cracked fragments of the source armor on Yu Changsheng's body were completely burned away!

The newly formed body was exposed to the destructive molten flow, and the dark golden chaotic imperial blood surged in the blood vessels like boiling lava. Each wash brought excruciating pain, a mixture of rebirth and destruction.

The shattered bones of the right arm crackled and popped in the blazing white flames, and the fractured area was visibly proliferating and remodeling wildly!
The spiderweb-like cracks on the Guixu Compass Dao Embryo, under the powerful healing of the emerald gold imprint and the repeated forging of violent energy, not only did not expand, but instead shimmered with the cold metallic light of dark gold, emerald gold and ash, collapsing and solidifying inward!
A heavy, vast pressure, carrying the aura of the ultimate destination of all things, began to shake the entire seabed of the Burial Star, centered on him!
Isolated island battlefield, apocalyptic carnival.

The second giant claw that emerged from the Devouring Mother Nest tore apart the remaining seal monument and, with the power to crush stars, slammed down on the Sky Patrol, which had already been severely damaged by the first claw and was spewing out pillars of destructive light!

"Hold on! Hold on!"

Situ Xuan's metallic face was contorted as he frantically pounded on the control panel. The massive hull of the Sky Patrol was hissing as it was swept by the filthy beams of light, its shields flickering, and the flames from the detonation of the main gun at the stern still lingering.

"Lord! The port side shield has collapsed! Engine number three..."

The adjutant's screams abruptly stopped!

Boom—Crack!
The colossal, rotting claw, obscuring the sky and dripping with viscous, corrosive pus and countless wailing, vengeful spirits of stars, slammed down on the center of the Sky Patrol!

The hardened Yunkun alloy hull caved in and tore apart like rotten wood!
Countless menacing turrets and shimmering rune arrays were instantly reduced to twisted metal scraps under the giant claws!
Explosions erupted one after another, accompanied by the chilling sound of steel tearing apart and the desperate screams of the Tiangongfu cultivators!
The entire Sky Surveyer was flung sideways, its tail broken off, and it crashed into the boiling sea like a giant bird with broken wings, accompanied by raging flames and thick smoke!
"Do not--!"

Situ Xuan, covered in blood, struggled out of the shattered bridge and watched as the war fortress he had poured half his life's blood into was about to sink, letting out a beast-like howl.

He stared intently at the center of the eerie green vortex, his eyes filled with deep-seated resentment and a hint of madness fueled by death.

"The Mother Nest! And Yu Changsheng! They'll all be buried with me!" He gripped a cracked, crimson crystal tightly in his hand—the ultimate control core of the Annihilation Cannon!
the other side.

"This is the moment!"

Xuan Tian Venerable's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Zhan Yuan Divine Sword emitted a bloodthirsty hum.

While the mother nest attacked the Sky Patrol, Elder Qingyi was distracted by reinforcing the crumbling Pure Lotus Barrier. He merged with his sword, transforming into a dim sword shadow that almost blended into the folds of space, and silently stabbed at the largest crack in the core monument of the isolated island!

Deep within the crack, the eerie green buds wriggled wildly, but also flowed with ancient sealing energy interwoven with gold and dark silver, and specks of pure emerald gold essence. These were the last remnants that Chen Xueqing had previously merged and dispersed, and that had been absorbed by the monument!
"The power of the forger! The origin of the void! Help me to cleave the abyss and pave the way!"

Xuan Tian Venerable roared in his heart, and the tip of Zhan Yuan Sword spewed out a sharp and unparalleled sword light, carrying the will to plunder and cut, and fiercely pierced into the place where the energy of the crack was the most concentrated!

Om-!
The monument trembled violently! A chaotic torrent, a mixture of the resilience of the seal, the heaviness of the void, the repulsion of purification, and the corrosive poison of the mother nest, surged into the body of the Xuan Tian Venerable through the sword!
"puff!"

Venerable Xuantian's face turned pale, and he coughed up blood. This power was far more chaotic and domineering than he had imagined!

He gritted his teeth, his body surging with sword energy, grinding and refining the power like a millstone. The Zhan Yuan Sword greedily absorbed the pure sharpness of its forger, its light blazing and emitting a pleasant, clear sound!

"Xuantian! How dare you steal the power of the seal!"

Elder Qingyi roared, and a condensed emerald-gold light swirled like a dragon, aiming straight for his back!

"Get out of the way!" Venerable Xuantian didn't even turn his head. He slashed backward with his left hand, forming a sword-like shape. A condensed Xuantian sword aura fiercely slashed at the light rope. Although it was shaken and its blood and qi surged, it remained firmly rooted to the spot, greedily seizing the remaining power in the core.

"This is a momentous opportunity for the entire world! Qingyi, you cannot stop this overwhelming force!"

The Dharma boat, which symbolizes the crossing of life and death, is like a drunken boat amidst the energy storm.

Poisonous Granny swallowed several foul-smelling pills, barely suppressing the backlash from the poison. Her withered claws gripped the ship's side tightly, and her sinister gaze swept across the chaotic battlefield.

The direction Mo Yu fled with the Burial Abyss Sword, the terrifying tremors emanating from the Ruins Furnace beneath the deep sea, and the actions of the Xuan Tian Venerable in stealing the core—each of these is a potential threat, but also a possible opportunity.

"Heh heh... If I can't have her, no one else will get away with it!"

A madness flashed in her eyes as she slammed her withered claws onto an inconspicuous blood-red rune on the ship's side.

"All Poisons Corrode Spirit Smoke! Disperse!"

Suddenly, large plumes of thick, colorful, toxic smoke erupted from the remaining cabins of the Furong Ferry!

This poisonous smoke was extremely vicious, spreading indiscriminately. Wherever it passed, even the raging energy turbulence was eroded and made a hissing sound. It also frantically eroded the sword energy around Venerable Xuantian, Elder Qingyi's Pure World Lotus halo, and even spread towards the dark green Mother Nest vortex below!
She wants to completely disrupt this pool of water and poison all living things!
The underwater furnace is now in its final stages of body forging!
Yu Changsheng's body is now like a divine weapon embryo being tempered!

The newly formed body was covered with a flowing layer of keratin with interwoven dark gold and ash patterns, replacing the shattered source armor and exuding a heavy and restrained aura of returning to the void. The broken right arm had been rebuilt, with its five fingers clenched tightly and its knuckles distinct, containing the power to crush stars.

Within his dantian, the storm gradually subsided!
The five destructive dragons are long gone.

The primordial chaos transformed into the foundation of the Dao Embryo, a massive and boundless layer of ash. The Devouring Void Corrosion was forcibly compressed into a ghostly green rune, branded onto the edge of the Dao Embryo, constantly scorched by the Flames of the Abyss. The myriad poisonous energies transformed into dark purple thorny vines, entwining the Dao Embryo, but were firmly bound by the purifying power of the Emerald Gold Brand, turning them into poisoned blades.

The resentment of the stars settled into specks of pitch-black stardust, settling at the bottom of the Dao Embryo and becoming the cornerstone of the power of the Return to the Void; while the blazing white embers of the Abyss completely merged into the core of the Dao Embryo, transforming into the heart of the blazing white furnace that drives the eternal rotation of the entire Return to the Void Compass!
The Dao Embryo of the Returning Void Compass has completely solidified!
It is no longer an illusion, but rather a real, three-dimensional star disk about a foot in diameter.

The surface is composed of chaotic limestone, with countless mysterious dark gold lines flowing across it, forming an extremely precise model of the Void Vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a single, blazing white core of embers burns eternally.

Om-!
The immense power of the newly formed Dao Embryo, mixed with the primordial energy accumulated over billions of years in the Returning Ruins Furnace, erupted with a thunderous roar!
An invisible force field swept out from Yu Changsheng's center!

Wherever it passed, the boiling energy turbulence instantly subsided, and the churning dark green seawater was forcibly pushed aside, forming a spherical domain with a diameter of a thousand feet that was absolutely calm!

Within the realm, there was only the heaviness of the Ruins and the intense heat of the Abyss!
He slowly opened his eyes.

The left eye, deep as the void, swirling with chaotic vortexes, reflects the ultimate fate of all things passing away and stars fading into oblivion.

His right eye, burning like an abyss, had a single pure white flame flickering within it, containing an indomitable will to burn away all paths and shackles!

The Dao Embryo of the Ruins of Extinction is complete!

His gaze pierced through the deep sea in an instant, precisely locking onto the isolated island battlefield.

On the broken and sinking Sky Patrol, Situ Xuan frantically activated the crimson crystal, and the remaining energy of the Annihilation Cannon gathered into a dangerous ball of light at the bow of the ship!
The Venerable Xuantian was forcefully seizing the core's remaining power, and the Zhanyuan Sword hummed greedily!

The poisonous smoke sprayed by the Poisonous Granny is polluting the battlefield!

Elder Qingyi alone could not hold up the battle, and the Cleansing Barrier was on the verge of collapse under the erosion of the Mother Nest's giant claws and poisonous smoke!
The greatest threat, at the center of the vortex, is a third, even larger, eerie green claw that is tearing through space and is about to descend with a terrifying pressure that can decay even the stars!

The immense power of the deep-sea furnace surged within him, and the newly formed Dao embryo emitted a roar eager for battle.

Yu Changsheng slowly raised his newly formed right arm, spread his five fingers, and made a loose fist towards the chaotic battlefield above.

"The Ruins of Return... the Abyss of Ashes... open!"

As he directed his thoughts, the massive Ruins Furnace array below suddenly erupted with a pillar of light interwoven with dark gold and blazing white, piercing through the heavens and earth!
The beam of light ignored the obstruction of the seawater and instantly shattered the surface of the sea!
Its target is not any person, but the void above the wrecked island, filled with chaotic energy, corrosive smoke, and the corruption of the Mother Nest!
Wherever the beam of light passed, chaotic energy was forcibly drawn back and devoured; the poisonous smoke of the spirit-corroding creature emitted a shrill shriek, which was burned and purified by the blazing white flames of the abyss; even the foul aura emanating from the giant claw of the mother nest was forcibly pulled and weakened by the void force field at the edge of the beam of light!
Like a sword of order falling from the sky, it plunged fiercely into the chaotic heart of the purgatory!
The entire battlefield fell silent instantly!
The crimson crystal in Situ Xuan's hand paused for a moment.

The Xuan Tian Venerable's absorption was interrupted, and he turned around in shock.

The poisonous smoke from the Poisonous Granny was largely purified.

Elder Qingyi felt a sudden relief from the pressure and looked incredulously at the source of the pillar of light that connected heaven and earth.

Even the third giant claw of the mother nest, which was about to emerge, seemed to pause slightly because of this newborn, terrifying power containing the origins of the Ruins and the Abyss!
Beneath the deep sea, Yu Changsheng's figure was bathed in the pillar of light from the furnace, like a god or demon emerging from the end of the Ruins, taking a single step!
The seawater beneath your feet automatically condenses into dark gold steps!

The cracked remains of the isolated island groaned under the force field of the Ruins of Return, but could not stop his steps!
He rode the waves, his target the broken Sky Patrol, and the mad Situ Xuan who held the Core of Annihilation!
The icy voice, imbued with the immense power of the newly formed Dao embryo, resonated clearly deep within the souls of every survivor:

"Situ Xuan! It's time to put out your cannon!" (End of Chapter)
