Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

The Chaos Passage is not a silent void, but a raging furnace of laws, as violent as the beginning of the universe.

Under the immense energy impact of detonating the Void Star Core Crystal Fragments, Yu Changsheng and his group were like a few withered leaves in a raging storm, swept along by the merciless turbulent currents, tumbling and sinking into the unknown depths of the passage.

"Hold on—!!"

Yu Changsheng's hoarse roar sounded so faint amidst the raging noise of the laws, yet it was like a lighthouse in the darkness.

He forcefully suppressed the excruciating pain of his origin being torn apart by the detonation of the crystal fragments, and the Guixu Star Orbit Compass in his sea of ​​consciousness spun wildly, trying his best to sense the presence of his companions.

The annihilation wound on his back, no longer suppressed by the life force of the star core fragments, now gnawed at his flesh and the foundation of his Dao like a venomous snake awakening. Each heartbeat was accompanied by a bone-chilling cold and a sense of destruction.

Wang Cheng: His condition is the worst.

The energy shock from the detonation of the crystal fragments first hit the chaotic bone arm that had cleared the way for him.

At this moment, the thick bone arm that had once withstood the crystal spikes and torn apart the turbulent currents was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and its dark golden luster had almost been completely extinguished, like a stubborn rock that had suffered a severe blow.

His massive body curled up, instinctively using his broken bone arms and body to protect the unconscious Gui Yinzi and the dying Chen Xueqing. The spark of the Overlord Blood Qi, which had just been ignited in the ancestral vein's sea of ​​light, was now reduced to a mere flickering ember, swaying and about to go out under the tearing force of the violent laws.

The ice on half of Ling Wuying's body was slightly relieved by the nourishment of the ancestral vein's sea of ​​light, but at this moment, the chaotic spatial laws within the passage were like billions of invisible blades, frantically cutting through his Shadow Escape talent.

He gripped the Lonely Star Cold Iron Shadow Dagger tightly, the blade emitting a high-frequency vibration, attempting to carve out a stable spatial anchor point in the turbulent currents, but each attempt resulted in excruciating pain that felt like his internal organs were being churned and an even deeper sense of sluggishness.

Frost quietly spread along his limbs that were not frozen.

The illusory image of Chen Xueqing's Pure World Green Lotus was severely damaged the moment it entered the Chaos Channel; its petals withered and its lotus platform dimmed.

She squeezed out her last bit of strength, covering Guiyinzi's chest and her own body with a faint, almost invisible blue light, barely resisting the most direct erosion from the fragments of law.

Her face was paler than paper, and every breath she took was laced with blood and foam, her essence like a dried-up spring.

Mo Heng was carried on Yu Changsheng's back. The cracks in the Myriad Transformations Returning to the Ruins Furnace seemed to come alive under the impact of the Channel Laws, emitting a subtle yet clear cracking sound.

He was delirious, and bloody foam mixed with fragments of internal organs unconsciously spilled from his mouth.

Only during the occasional violent spatial tremors would his tightly closed eyes twitch painfully, as if the shattered furnace was still instinctively sensing the extremely chaotic torrent of laws.

Gui Yinzi remained unconscious, but the eerie black aura surrounding him seemed unusually active within the chaotic passage, writhing slightly like hungry tentacles, greedily devouring the scattered, chaotic negative energy around him.

His aura, however, exuded an eerie calm amidst the general despondency, even... a barely perceptible increase in danger.

Yu Changsheng is the anchor for everyone, but also the center of the backlash.

The explosion of the star core fragments not only damaged the source but also severed the last faint connection with the desolate star core.

The runes for "Silence" and "Life" on the Star Orbit Compass of the Sea of ​​Consciousness dimmed, and even showed tiny cracks at the edges, only maintained by his burning will. The power of annihilation expanded recklessly in the wound, and the cold aura of death continuously eroded his Integration Realm body.

What's even more terrifying is that the passage contains not a single energy surge, but countless fragments of shattered, distorted, and conflicting cosmic laws!

These fragments of law—the scorching embers of a collapsing star, the eternal frost that freezes spacetime, the nascent form of a void vortex that devours everything, the turbulent currents of logic that distort cognition—are like materialized sharp blades, carried by a raging torrent of energy, indiscriminately cutting and eroding everything that enters them.

The group's tattered protective aura and defensive magic treasures were like thin paper in front of these fragments of laws, instantly pierced and torn apart.

"Sizzle!" A fragment containing the law of "entropy increase and decay" swept past Wang Cheng's arm that was protecting Chen Xueqing. His incomparably tough skin of domineering blood qi instantly lost its luster, becoming gray and withered, as if it had been washed away by millions of years.

"Ugh!" Wang Cheng groaned, the intense pain causing his muscles to spasm.

On the other side, a tiny fragment of "spatial rift" ignored Ling Wuying's barely maintained Shadow Escape and left a deep, bone-revealing wound on his calf. Strangely, the wound did not bleed; instead, it collapsed inward, forming a tiny spatial fold.

Ling Wuying stumbled, nearly being swept away by the turbulent current, only managing to be restrained by Yu Changsheng's timely release of an energy rope, barely woven from the Chaos Emperor's Blood and the Dao of Star Extinction.

"At this rate... we can't hold out much longer..."

A warning bell rang in Yu Changsheng's mind. The efficiency of the Guixu Star Orbit Compass in analyzing the laws of chaos was pitifully low, like searching for a specific grain of sand in a mudslide.

He tried to draw upon a fragment of the law within the passage, attempting to guide or resolve it, but the moment he made contact, the violent and conflicting intent contained within the fragment nearly ignited the already precarious energy balance within his body.

Just as despair once again enveloped everyone.

"Buzz!"

An unusually cold, viscous, and greedy wave of intent erupted without warning from the depths of the chaotic passage! This intent was not targeting the group, but rather, like an invisible, enormous fishing net, it was suddenly cast into this torrent of laws!

"Void-devouring worm?! The core of the nest?!" Yu Changsheng's scalp tingled instantly!

This mental fluctuation was exactly the same as the Void-Eating Worm encountered in the Star Rock Fragment, but it was more than a hundred times more powerful!
They actually extended their nests to the edge of the chaotic passage, and even actively captured the chaotic law energy within it as food!

The emergence of this thought was like pouring cold water into a boiling oil pan. The already chaotic and violent torrent of laws instantly became even more violent and disorderly!

Countless fragments were drawn, collided, and annihilated by willpower, unleashing an even more terrifying chain reaction. A gray-black lightning bolt, formed by the entanglement of the laws of "spatial annihilation" and "energy chaos," silently tore through the turbulent currents, striking directly at Chen Xueqing and Gui Yinzi, who were being protected by Wang Cheng!

Too fast! Too powerful! The critically injured and dying Wang Cheng had no time to react!

"Xue Qing!! Gui Yinzi!!" Yu Changsheng's eyes widened in fury. Ignoring the backlash, he forcefully activated the Compass of His Sea of ​​Consciousness, instinctively unleashing "Silent Annihilation: Return to Nothingness," sending a faint vortex of dark starfields towards the gray-black lightning. However, this hasty attack only slightly slowed the lightning's speed, utterly unable to counteract its terrifying annihilation power!

Destruction seemed imminent.

"Roar--!!!"

A non-human roar, filled with endless violence, coldness, and greed, suddenly erupted from Gui Yinzi! The roar seemed to come from the deepest hell, carrying a soul-tearing penetrating force, instantly drowning out the roar of the laws of the chaotic passage! Gui Yinzi, who was unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes!
However, those were not his original eyes. Deep within his pupils was a pure, all-consuming black vortex, its edges shimmering with a cold, viscous, eerie green light, as if countless worms were writhing within his pupils. The black aura enveloping him was no longer thin as before, but rather erupted like boiling ink, surging and turbulent!
Just as the gray-black lightning bolt containing "spatial annihilation" and "energy chaos" was about to strike, the boiling black energy suddenly condensed, transforming into a huge, sticky tentacle shadow covered with strange suction cups, which shot out like lightning!

"Pfft!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a teeth-grinding sound, like something being dissolved by strong acid. The gray-black lightning, powerful enough to annihilate the laws of the Integration Realm, was precisely "grabbed" by those viscous shadowy tentacles! The suction cups on the tentacles writhed wildly, and the gray-black lightning energy was rapidly devoured and decomposed by the suction cups, merging into the boiling black mist, as if swallowed by a whale!

Guiyinzi let out a satisfied groan, and the black aura around him visibly expanded, emanating an even colder, deeper, and nauseating aura.

His inhuman eyes slowly turned, his cold, viscous thoughts sweeping over Chen Xueqing, who was close at hand and barely breathing, and Wang Cheng, who was blocking his way. Finally, they locked onto Yu Changsheng, who was not far away.

greedy!

Naked greed!

Those eyes seemed to be looking at an unparalleled delicacy, filled with a longing for the Chaos Emperor Blood, the Star Extinction Dao Principles within Yu Changsheng's body, and the Dao Principle Origin that was being devoured by the power of annihilation!

Even the nearly shattered Guixu Star Orbit Compass in Yu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness revealed a strong possessive desire!

"Ghost Child! Wake up!"

Yu Changsheng shouted sharply, trying to awaken the other party's corrupted soul.

At the same time, he forcibly mobilized his remaining power, the Chaos Emperor Blood roared within his body, the dim nebula vortex spun faster, and the Daoist aura of "Star Extinction" condensed in his palm, ready to strike at any moment.

He understood that the "Ghost Yinzi" posed a far greater threat than the chaotic currents of laws outside and the will of the Void Devouring Worm!
"Hehehe..." The being occupying the body of the ghost Yinzi let out a sharp and piercing laugh, the sound distorted and overlapping, as if countless insects were hissing.

“A weakened…Dao Fruit…offers…me…”

It seemed unable to use language fluently, but the greed and murderous intent in its mind were crystal clear.

It suddenly raised its hand, and the swirling black energy instantly condensed into several sharp, shadowy spears dripping with corrosive slime, the tips of which pointed directly at Yu Changsheng's heart, dantian, and sea of ​​consciousness!
The spear was not imbued with spiritual power, but rather with extremely pure fragments of the laws of "Void Corrosion" and "Soul Absorption," which strangely blended with the environment of the Chaos Passage, multiplying its power!

"Be careful!" Ling Wuying endured the spatial trauma to her legs and the sluggishness of being frozen all over her body. The Shadow Dagger transformed into a faint cold light, attempting to pierce the node of the Shadow Spear.

Wang Cheng roared and tried to smash Gui Yinzi with his broken Chaos Bone Arm.

However, their movements were laughably slow in the eyes of "Ghost Shadow".

The shadowy spear shot out silently!

At this critical moment.

"Buzz!"

Deep within Yu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness, the nearly shattered Guixu Star Orbit Compass seemed to sense the threat from the most fundamental enemies of "annihilation" and "void." The dim "Silence" runes on it suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly profound light! This light did not illuminate, but devoured!

An instinctive will to reject and resist the ultimate evil in the endless void beyond the "Pore of Silence," originating from the deep imprint of the Starry Sky Civilization, was fully unleashed!
At the same time, the annihilation wound on Yu Changsheng's back, which was being eroded by the rampant decay, was also suddenly engulfed by the source of destruction due to the abnormal movement of the "Silence" rune on the compass!
The extreme destruction and the repulsive will imprinted by the Starry Sky Civilization created a second terrifying conflict within Yu Changsheng's body!

"Pfft—!" Yu Changsheng coughed up a mouthful of blood containing black annihilation energy, his body convulsed violently, and his consciousness blurred for a moment.

But a glint of madness flashed in his eyes!

A desperate situation! Another desperate situation!
The destructive source within his body went berserk, while the "Ghost Yin Child," a materialized form of Yin energy outside his body, launched a deadly attack!
lead!
Only lead!
It's like facing a dimensional collapse vortex in the Eternal Graveyard, or facing the Eternal Death Ray guarded by Star Remains in the Star Ember Corridor!

Draw upon this rampaging annihilation power, draw upon the endless fragments of chaotic laws within this passage, draw upon the greedy attacks of these malevolent spirits!

Yu Changsheng abandoned suppression, instead using his own collapsing sea of ​​consciousness compass as a fuse and his iron will as the core of a furnace, actively channeling the rampaging annihilation power outside his body to meet the deadly shadow spear! At the same time, the Void Compass spun wildly, disregarding the danger of shattering, forcibly drawing in several chaotic fragments of laws nearby—a crystal chip radiating an aura of "energy solidification," a prism fragment containing fluctuations of "spatial disorder," and a gray mist shrieking with "mental pollution"—like a magnet attracting iron filings, sweeping these violent fragments into the counter-attacking torrent!
This was not a methodical supernatural power, but a complete and utter life-or-death explosion!

"BOOM—!!!"

An indescribable explosion erupted within the chaotic passage!

There was no blazing firelight, only a bizarre and wondrous scene of laws being annihilated:

The corrosive power of the Shadow Spear and the source of annihilation corrode and obliterate each other.

The "energy solidification" fragment froze a small area, but was twisted and torn apart by the "spatial disorder" fragment.

The shriek of "spiritual pollution" was swallowed up by the power of annihilation, and the remaining fluctuations then impacted "Ghost Yinzi".

The turbulent flow of the Chaos Channel itself was turned upside down by the explosion, forming a brief, chaotic, yet extremely unstable point of law collapse!

The piercing screech of the "Ghost Shadow Child" was filled with pain and rage!
Its shadow attack was partially neutralized and torn apart by the power of annihilation and the laws of chaos. The remaining pollution and mental impact also caused considerable shock to its "will" which was formed by countless hungry thoughts.

The black aura around it churned violently, as if its instinct to devour had been provoked.

Yu Changsheng was struck as if by a tremendous force, his entire body flying backward like a kite with a broken string. The compass in his sea of ​​consciousness cracked with a crisp sound, and a new crack pierced through the "Silence" rune!
The blood flowing from his seven orifices was no longer bright red, but tinged with a thick black mist. His vision began to blur, and the excruciating pain almost eroded his reason.

At the core of the explosion, at the point where the laws collapsed, it began to collapse inward, emitting a terrifying suction force!

"The passage... is about to collapse!"

Wang Cheng also felt a deadly threat. He held Chen Xueqing and the unconscious, convulsing Gui Yinzi tightly, his eyes fixed on the thrown Yu Changsheng, and he let out a beast-like growl.

"Go!! Go...into there!"

With his last ounce of strength, Yu Changsheng pointed towards the point where the rotating, collapsing law had collapsed. (End of Chapter)
