Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

"I see!"

His blood-stained lips curved into an extremely cold and resolute arc!

The leader of the Sky-Splittering Clan was not the creator of the Sword of Annihilation and the Star Orbit Compass of Return to the Void!
The ball of light in his hand seemed more like a reverse contamination and alteration of the core laws of the compass!
Like a perfect mirror image, but infused with an absolute will to destroy! He used this tampered "pseudo-compass" to forcibly control, corrupt, and activate the remains of the Burial God and the core of Chaos Origin, attempting to complete the key!

The Returning Void Star Orbit Compass on the Sword of Annihilation is... the "true key" to anchor the coordinates of the "door"!
The reason why the Rift Sky Lord wants to devour the Annihilation Sword is not only to seize its power, but also to... destroy the "True Key" that might interfere with or even destroy his plans!
Your greed... is your weakness!

Yu Changsheng roared in his heart! He no longer resisted the three chains of light drawing on the essence of the Annihilation Sword, but instead... he took the initiative to release control!
"Annihilation! As you wish! Go and 'eat'!" He poured the last remaining imperial essence, along with the violent energy from the fragments of the Chaos Origin Core that had been stirred deep within his Dao Foundation, into the Annihilation Sword with madness and without reservation!

“Zheng——!!!”

The Sword of Annihilation unleashed an unprecedented, agonizing, and violent shriek!
Cracks spread wildly across the sword's blade, while the dark red divine runes shone brightly as if in a final burst of light!

It greedily devoured the power that Yu Changsheng had poured into it. The core gray dot of the Guixu Star Orbit Compass at the sword's edge instantly expanded, and the projected star map phantom became clearer and more solid than ever before!
The suction force of the three dark red death light chains was suddenly "satisfied," and the extraction speed increased dramatically!

The essence of the Annihilation Sword surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, rushing towards the chaotic core of the altar!

A triumphant sneer flashed in the crimson eyes of the leader of the Sky-Splitting Clan!

However, just as the torrent of the annihilation sword was about to flow into the core of the chaotic essence.

Yu Changsheng's left hand, covered with purple-gold cracks, was held together with fingers like a sword, carrying a fierce will to burn everything to ashes and destroy everything in its path, as he fiercely stabbed it towards his own brow!

What was wrapped around his fingertips was not the Chaos Emperor Yuan, but... a wisp of his natal spirit essence that he had forcibly extracted!
This essence contains his complete understanding of the core laws of the Guixu Star Orbit Compass, the anchoring of the "True Key" coordinates, and... a special "mark" that uses the Chaos Emperor Seal as a guide and incorporates a trace of the protective true meaning of the Pure World Green Lotus!
"Using my primordial spirit as the guide! Ignite the star orbit! Determine the origin point! Return to the source and the true nature!"

His hoarse roar echoed throughout the Bone Domain!

puff!
A fingertip pierced between his brows! The purplish-gold primordial spirit essence, mixed with imperial blood, transformed into a thin thread burning with purplish-gold flames, instantly disappearing into the core of the violently flashing Guixu Star Orbit Compass projection in front of him!
“Buzz——!!!”

The Guixu Star Orbit Compass burst forth with a grayish-white light powerful enough to blind anyone!

Its core gray dot suddenly jumped, as if it had come to life!
The star map image it projected instantly broke free from chaos and became incredibly clear and stable!
The core singularity of the star map was precisely and forcibly superimposed on the star map singularity that had just flashed on the surface of the chaotic source core on the altar!

At this moment, the torrent of primordial energy being frantically drawn from the Annihilation Sword is surging into the Chaos Origin Core along the light chains!

Boom——! ! !
It was as if two supernovae were colliding at their core!
The chaotic source core, infused with the original information of the Annihilation Sword, instantly clashed devastatingly with the "true coordinates" forcibly anchored by the compass projection!

"No—!!!" For the first time, the leader of the Sky-Splitting Clan roared with shock and rage!

The spinning ball of light in his hand suddenly went out of control, its light flashing wildly!
He tried to sever the three chains of light, but it was too late!

The chaotic primordial core twisted and expanded violently!

The eerie, pulsating heart pattern on the surface was instantly covered with cracks!
Two diametrically opposed forces within it—the power of annihilation injected by the leader of the Sky-Splitting Clan, which carries pollution and coercive control, and the primordial power injected by the Sword of Annihilation, which contains the anchoring information of the "True Key"—like the extremes of water and fire, began their most intense confrontation and annihilation!
The balance is broken!

“Roar, ahh ...

The remains of the Burial God, which were hovering above the core of the Chaos Source and frantically absorbing energy, suddenly let out a roar of extreme pain!
The dark black light flowing across its body exploded like boiling water, and its enormous skeletal body twisted and convulsed uncontrollably!
The severed arm that had pierced the altar convulsed wildly, its five towering bone fingers digging deep into the rock, tearing the altar ground open with a huge, spiderweb-like crack!

The dark red energy veins that permeated the entire bone domain crumbled and annihilated inch by inch, like a broken string on a musical instrument!
The chain reaction broke out instantly!

The three outermost bone towers that provided energy shattered their runes in a series of explosions, and the dark red beams of light emanating from their tips became extremely unstable, flickering and dimming like candles in the wind!
The skeletal golems that had just awakened and were preparing to intercept Wang Cheng had their soul fires flickering violently in their eye sockets. Their massive skeletal bodies became stiff and sluggish, like puppets without strings, and they even collided with each other and toppled over!
The threat of the annihilation orb that Wang Cheng was facing suddenly disappeared!

"Pfft—!" The leader of the Rift Sky was struck as if by a heavy hammer. His figure, which was shrouded in a cloak, suddenly swayed, and his hand, which was pressed on the bone array plate, spat out a stream of viscous black blood that exuded a putrid smell!

The light on the array plate dimmed rapidly!
"Now!" Yu Changsheng's eyes blazed with a purple-gold divine light!

Although the damage to his primordial spirit caused him to bleed from his seven orifices and his aura to weaken to the extreme, cracks in his Dao foundation spread like a spider web, as if he would completely collapse at any moment!
But this was the moment he had been waiting for! The leader was distracted, the great formation was in disarray, and the skeletons went out of control!

He mustered his last bit of strength, ignoring the excruciating pain of his Dao foundation collapsing. He gripped the Extinction Sword, which was riddled with cracks and its light flickered, as if it were about to shatter completely at any moment. He poured all his remaining will, power, desire for life, and determination to end this calamity into it!

"Return to nothingness... Annihilation... All are contained in a single sword!"

He took a step forward, and the glassy black crystal ground beneath his feet silently collapsed! His cracked body, like a burning meteor, trailed a destructive streak of purple-gold and gray-white, towards the altar, towards the Sky-Splitting Leader, temporarily frozen by the backlash, his crimson eyes filled with shock, rage, and disbelief, towards the chaotic, rampaging remains of the Burial God and the collapsing Chaos Source Core—

With a resolute gesture, he thrust out his sword!
The sword's edge was not aimed at the leader's main body, nor at the chaotic core of the source matter, but rather... at the sphere of light that the leader of the Sky-Splitting Heaven was holding up, which was spinning wildly out of control and contained the laws of the "pseudo-compass"!

To destroy the key, first destroy the foundation of its "tampering"!
On the compass projection of the Purple Mountain Barrier, the enormous spot of light representing the core of chaotic origin matter flickered wildly between chaotic red and the gray-white representing the "True Key," just like a supernova about to explode! The entire model of the Burial God Bone Domain distorted violently, and the energy reading soared to a dangerous critical point!
For the first time, a look of horror appeared on Mo Heng's withered face.

"The Emperor... he detonated the conflict of laws within the Chaos Origin Core! The leader suffered a backlash! The Skeleton Golem is out of control! General Wang! General Wang! Opportunity! Charge in! Quickly charge in to support the Emperor!"

From the direction of Broken Ridge Cliff, Wang Cheng roared, his Chaotic Bone Arm sweeping across, smashing a skeletal golem that was blocking his way out of control in half. His crimson Blood Domain, like a burning wheel, rolled over the chaotic Burial God Guards and launched a desperate charge toward the center of the energy eruption at the core of the Bone Domain!
Chen Xueqing's face was ashen, and a trickle of golden blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. But she pressed her hands firmly on the lotus platform. The light of the Pure World Lotus was more concentrated than ever before, burning its source recklessly to firmly protect the thread of Qingzhou's fortune that was maintaining Yu Changsheng's last chance of life, like the last undying lighthouse in a storm!

On the altar, the leader of the Rift looked at the cracked longsword that was piercing the "pseudo-compass" orb of light in his hand with the momentum of mutual destruction. In his scarlet eyes, the shock and anger were instantly replaced by a deeper and more terrifying tyranny!

"Yu Changsheng...you're asking for death!"

He stopped trying to stabilize the sphere of light and his withered hand, covered in dark gold scales, suddenly grabbed at an inconspicuous altar sub-array next to the throne, which was inlaid with countless tiny skulls!
At this moment, the core storm of the Burial God Bone Domain was finally ignited!
"Return to the Origin of All Bones...Sacrifice!"

The hoarse roar was like the wailing of billions of dead souls! The entire Burial God Bone Domain instantly erupted in chaos!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Around the altar, three colossal, crumbling bone towers seemed to be struck by an invisible hammer and crumbled apart!

It wasn't a collapse, but rather like a bomb that had been detonated, countless enormous fragments of bones burning with ashen soul fire, carrying with them the destructive energy accumulated within the tower, transformed into three roaring torrents of bones that tore through space and surged madly toward the central altar!

The target is that chaotic source core that is on the verge of exploding due to the conflict of laws!

The leader of the Sky Rift actually intended to use the three Bone Towers along with the countless souls suppressed within them as sacrifices to forcibly infuse energy into them, using the most brutal method to "fill in" the conflict between the core's original source of the Annihilation Sword and the corrupting power of the pseudo-compass, forcibly pushing it towards uncontrollable distortion and explosion!
He intends to completely annihilate the entire core of the Bone Domain, along with Yu Changsheng!

"Madman!" Yu Changsheng's pupils constricted sharply!

The sword's edge was only inches away from the pseudo-compass sphere, but the destructive energy contained in the oncoming torrent of bones was enough to tear him and the Annihilation Sword to shreds in an instant!

There's no way to avoid it! There's no way to stop it!
"Roar--!"

At the critical moment, the gruesome remains of the God of Burial at the center of the altar, convulsing in agony due to the backlash, suddenly unleashed an even more violent, chaotic, and painful roar from the twisted and pulsating core of chaotic essence within its hollow ribcage!
It instinctively sensed impending doom!

Three distinct forces: the forced infusion from the Sky-Splitter Leader, the anchoring information from the Sword of Annihilation, and the surging torrent of destruction that is now engulfing us.

An unprecedentedly terrifying storm formed within its crumbling interior! It was like a ball forcibly stuffed with explosives and its fuse lit, expanding to its limit!

"Annihilation...devour it!"

Yu Changsheng's eyes burned with the purple-gold light to the extreme, madness and calmness intertwining on the verge of death! He did not retreat, but instead poured all his remaining power, even drawing upon the last trace of chaotic source core fragment deep within his Dao Foundation, into the Annihilation Sword!
The core gray dot of the Guixu Star Orbit Compass at the sword's edge, under the burning of the primordial spirit essence, burst forth with unprecedented light, forcibly stabilizing the star map projection anchored to the "True Key"! This projection, like a tough net, tightly enveloped the pseudo compass sphere!
"Open it for me!"

At the same time, a roar that shattered the void came from the edge of the Bone Domain!
Wang Cheng! He finally broke through the chaotic outer group of skeletal golems caused by the loss of control, and crashed into the core area like a meteorite burning with crimson gold!
He saw the despairing sight on the altar—the Emperor's figure was as insignificant as an ant before the three torrents of destruction, and the leader's scarlet eyes were filled with the madness of destruction!
"Overlord Blood... Burn the Heavens! Open!"

Wang Cheng's eyes widened in fury, and his newly formed Chaos Bone Arm instantly expanded to its maximum size. The dark gold scales covering it stood upside down, and the violent Chaos Blood mixed with the deathly energy absorbed by the Returning Void Barrier Armor transformed into a condensed crimson-gold fist aura. It did not strike the leader, but instead smashed hard into one of the torrents of bones surging towards Yu Changsheng's back!
boom--! ! !
The crimson-gold fist energy collided with the torrent of gray bones, unleashing a deafening roar!

The violent energy turbulence exploded like a flood bursting its banks!

As if struck by a heavy hammer, Wang Cheng's burly body flew backward like a cannonball. His chaotic bone arm emitted a piercing metallic twisting sound, his dark gold scales shattered, and blood gushed out!

But his desperate strike deflected the destructive torrent by half a point!

It was that crucial difference of just a hair's breadth!

The pressure on Yu Changsheng suddenly lessened! The Annihilation Sword in his hand, carrying his burning will and the last anchoring power of the Star Orbit Compass, finally pierced the wildly flickering pseudo-compass sphere of light that the leader of the Sky Rift was holding up!
laugh--!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a soul-chilling shriek, as if the vacuum of the universe had been torn apart!
The moment the sword tip pierced the sphere of light, time seemed to freeze.

Inside the pseudo-compass sphere, the scene of star birth and death, shrouded in deathly silence, instantly froze and disintegrated!
Countless twisted, dark red lines, representing the altered and corrupted laws, were like spider webs thrown into strong acid. Under the impact of the "True Key" anchored information contained in the Annihilation Sword, they emitted a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound, breaking and annihilating inch by inch!
"Ugh—!" The leader of the Sky-Splitting Clan let out a non-human scream!

His fingers gripping the secondary array twitched violently, and for the first time, unbelievable pain and... a trace of terror appeared in his crimson eyes! The pseudo-compass was the core of his control over the key and the control over the remains of the buried god. At this moment, it was forcibly invaded and destroyed by the "true key" law of the sword of annihilation, as if it had been stabbed hard in the core of his power control!

The backlash was like poisonous fire, instantly burning through his soul!

But the madness of the leader of the Sky Rift was beyond imagination!

"I'll destroy you... and drag you down with me!"

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his soul, he forcefully activated the secondary formation! (End of Chapter)
