Chapter 1164: Chapter 530: The Golden Celestial Kingdom

Chapter 530

That hand was too enormous; just a few fingers were as majestic as mountains. Covered in twisted, malicious demon patterns, droplets of dense black liquid dripped from between the fingers, corroding the space into cracks.

It carried a supreme power intending to drag the entire world into doomsday, ignoring spatial distance, as it aimed at the “Returning Ruins Reincarnation Millstone” slowly rotating above the sky!

With this clutch, it seemed to want to crush the heavens!

All living beings, upon seeing this giant hand, felt their Soul Fire almost freeze. It was a fear stemming from the instinct of life itself, a despair when faced with celestial calamity, against irresistible force!

“It’s over…”

The Soul Fire of the Purple Lightning Knights dimmed to the extreme. He could not imagine what sort of power could counteract this terrifying giant hand that seemed capable of ending everything.

However, in this moment of despair, the figure sitting in the center of the millstone, unwavering from start to finish, finally made a new move.

Xu Ran slowly opened his eyes.

In his eye sockets, there was no Soul Fire, only two deep, cosmos-born nebulae slowly swirling.

His consciousness had long merged with the entire grand array. He felt the joy and fear of all beings below, sensed the pure malice and destructive intent from the Abyss.

His Dao Heart was as firm as ancient unyielding divine iron, without a ripple.

“Finally willing to come out, huh…”

He whispered calmly, his voice was not loud, yet it clearly penetrated the consciousness of every living being, like a strong reinforcement, instantly dispelling part of their fear.

Facing the demon hand that obscured the sky, Xu Ran showed no intention to dodge.

He endured the dual pressure of the grand array’s operation and abyssal impact, his Bone Forging Realm perfected ink jade Dao bones emitted a strained “creaking” sound, fine cracks spreading across the surface of his bones.

His Source was being consumed crazily.

Yet, the battle intent within him was pushed to an unprecedented peak at this moment!

Without destruction, there can be no creation!

Today, he would not only refine the abyss of bone demons but also use the power of the Abyss as his whetstone for breaking through…

“With my body as the furnace, take the heavens and earth as fuel, melt the Ten Thousand Paths to Ruin, open the divine realm!”

Xu Ran let out a long howl, his will pierced through the heavens and earth!

He was no longer passively guarding the grand array but took the initiative to strike!

“Swallow!”

With a thought, that giant Returning Ruins Millstone suddenly accelerated! The lower Returning Ruins Millstone exploded with infinite suction, like an awakened ancient giant beast, opening its giant mouth that devours everything!

The demon hand reaching for the sky paused in speed, forcibly dragged downward by the enormous suction!

“Roar!”

A more furious roar came from beneath the Abyss. The demon hand’s black light soared, its power surged again, beginning to wrestle with the entire grand array!

Crack! Crack!

At the edge of the grand array, some foundations began to crack, unable to withstand this terrifying force’s impact.

And Xu Ran’s body bore more cracks, seemingly about to completely shatter at the next moment.

Yet, the light in his eyes grew brighter!

Now!

“Come!”

He proactively inserted a part of his Heart Spirit into the abysmal demonic flow resisting the grand array’s most primal force.

Boom!

Endless madness, brutality, corruption, and doomsday will like a breached black sea instantly submerged his consciousness.

If it were any Burning Fire Realm, or even higher realm powerhouse, at this moment, they would be completely overwhelmed by this will flow, becoming part of the Abyss.

But the core of Xu Ran’s consciousness was protected by Dragon Elephant battle intent, and furthermore suppressed by the Dao pattern that transformed into the “Returning Ruins Demon Map”!

“Furnace, refine it for me!”

The Dao Furnace, within his consciousness core, roared into operation!

The endless demonic intent that entered his consciousness was not scattered, not blocked, but forcibly drawn into the furnace, using his nearly shattered Dao bones as fuel, his unyielding will as fire, started the wildest refining!

This was a suicidal behavior!

A moment of carelessness, it would mean death and Dao extinction, eternal damnation!

Yet Xu Ran gambled on this sliver of a chance!

He wanted to refine this pure “destroying will” into his breakthrough “Divine Fire”!

“Ah——!”

Even Xu Ran couldn’t resist letting out a painful wail. His Soul Light, at this moment, was about to be compressed into a point, ready to extinguish at any moment.

His ink jade Dao bones fractured inch by inch!

Yet, just in this extreme destruction, a brand new “life force” quietly bloomed!

The first wisp of refined, purified “destroying divine thought” fed back into his Soul Light core, was like a spark landing on endless dry wood.

Boom——!

Xu Ran’s entire sea of consciousness was instantly ignited!

His Soul Light, no longer lead gray, no longer any color, but turned into a flame seemingly capable of burning away all creation and law… “Divine Fire”!

This divine fire took his Soul Light as core, his inch-fractured ink jade Dao bones as “furnace walls,” constructed within him a brand new, invisible… Divine Furnace!

After Bone Forging Realm comes—to reach—Divine Furnace Realm!

With the body as a divine furnace, it could refine all things, could forge laws!

Crack! Crack!

At the moment the divine furnace was cast, the previously fractured ink jade Dao bones inside Xu Ran began to reassemble!
