In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Soon, the grayish-white tide slowly receded, like a sigh of frozen time, completely sealing the lava crater in deathly silence.

Su Han lay prone in the cold, grayish-white "amber," his charred remains resembling an ancient stone statue. Only at the broken point on his left shoulder, beneath the congealed scab, could a faint grayish-white light shimmer.

That was the essence of the Burial Bone Realm quietly repairing his body.

His soul, like a candle flickering in the wind, was nearly annihilated by the dual tearing apart and backlash.

But in that deepest darkness, a faint yet exceptionally firm will shone tenaciously, like a star in the cold night.

That was Su Han's obsession, her indomitable spirit, her unwillingness to give up!

"Ho..."

A faint whisper, seemingly from the deepest abyss, broke the suffocating silence.

It was not the roar of evil thoughts in the void, but the wailing of Su Han's own remnant soul.

He felt a cold yet powerful force surging into the core of his soul from all directions—it was the essence of the Buried Bone Realm, which, as he was on the verge of death, began a deeper fusion with him!

This fusion was not a gentle blending, but a violent baptism.

Countless mysterious death runes twisted and combined like living things deep within his soul, as if to inscribe entirely new laws.

His consciousness sank in excruciating pain, countless shattered images flashing before his eyes: burning cities, collapsing mountains, and an endless, desolate land shrouded in gray mist...

That's what the burial ground looks like!

His soul seemed to have been forcibly pressed into the mark of this source of death by an invisible hand!
"No...I can't...just like this..."

Su Han's will was shouting, and the remaining embers of the phoenix bloodline were completely ignited at this moment.

The golden-red light clashed violently with the cold, gray-white runes, each clash sending shivers down his spine, as if he were about to utterly disintegrate. Just then, a sudden change occurred!
The gray space that had been frozen for millions of years suddenly rippled like a fragile mirror!
A thin yet incredibly deep black crack appeared without warning not far from Su Han's side.

The crack was not empty space, but rather a chilling, viscous darkness, as if some unimaginably vast will was peering into this sealed corner from an endless distance.

An aura of "nothingness," even more ancient and purer than the previous ray, seeped in like a tide through the crack!
"Ok?"

A deep, emotionless wave of will pierced Su Han's mind like an ice pick.

"It's...it's the remnant consciousness of the 'Lord of the Ruins'?!"

Su Han's soul trembled violently, and a vague yet terrifying thought emerged uncontrollably.

Legend has it that in the void there exists an ultimate void called "Guixu," where even light, time, and existence itself are completely swallowed up.

Is it...

The ray that just tried to strip away the core of his soul was actually a test from this legendary being.
The Buried Bone Realm Source Matter seemed to sense this threat from a higher dimension, and its fusion speed suddenly accelerated!

Su Han felt his bones cracking under the strain. Beneath the charred exterior, grayish-white patterns seemed to come alive, spreading wildly and replacing the decaying flesh.

His left arm was being reconstructed at a visible speed, a cold metallic sheen flowing beneath the skin; it was no longer flesh and blood, but rather more like…

The embodiment of the laws of death!

"Roar--!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted! It didn't come from outside, but from inside Su Han's body!
The remnant soul of the metal giant, which he had forcibly suppressed with his remnant soul and the source matter of the Burial Bone Realm, went berserk the moment it sensed the arrival of the will of the "Lord of the Ruins"!
Countless fine metallic particles gushed from Su Han's wound, coalescing into a ferocious metallic serpent in the grayish-white space. It opened its massive maw, filled with sharp teeth, and viciously bit at the black crack! (End of Chapter)
