Chapter 1204: The Cage Is Broken!

Chapter 550

It was like an unimaginably precise program had been fed a paradoxical command it could not comprehend, one that would even overturn its underlying logic!

“…Error… Information unrecognizable…”

“…Detected ‘Source’-level information pollution…”

“…Initiating self-diagnostic program…”

The mind of Adjudicator γ-7 experienced, for the first time, a genuine, fatal lag!

Its strength stemmed from its “absolute correctness.”

When its very “correctness” was questioned by information more ancient, more fundamental, its existence itself began to waver!

“Now!”

A sharp gleam flashed in Xu Ran’s eyes; this was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

He did not seize the chance to flee, nor did he launch a ferocious assault.

He made a move that no one could have anticipated.

He spread his arms wide, actually abandoning all defenses of his own accord, allowing the causal Power of the Celestial Law Scripture to shroud his body!

But he was not baring his neck for the blade!

“Reincarnation Path, reverse causality, devour all laws!”

In that instant, Xu Ran’s body seemed to transform into a true Reincarnation black hole, without beginning or end!

The Möbius loop Dao seal flew from his chest, swelling against the wind, turning into a colossal millstone that blotted out the sky!

One side of the millstone was Chaos, the other ashen Death, turning slowly, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed ready to drag all heavens and worlds into it, grinding them to annihilation and rebirth!

“Didn’t you want to adjudicate my causality?”

“Fine! Then I’ll give you all of my causality!”

“My life, my death, my Dao, my Law, my past, my future!”

“But can you… swallow it?!”

Xu Ran’s figure hurled itself voluntarily into that gigantic Reincarnation millstone, fusing completely with his own Dao!

Rumble—!

The gigantic Reincarnation millstone crashed ferociously into the frozen Celestial Law Scripture!

This was not a clash of Laws, but the ultimate devouring between two “worldviews”!

The Celestial Law Scripture sought to define Xu Ran’s causality as “null.”

While Xu Ran’s Reincarnation millstone intended to drag this so-called “absolute principle” of the Celestial Law Scripture into the cycle of “change,” grinding it down into nourishment for his own Grand Dao!

Crack! Crack!

Under the grinding of the Reincarnation millstone, the silver pages began to fracture inch by inch, disintegrating!

Those lofty, undeniable “principles” were ground into the most fundamental fragments of Dao Principles, then greedily devoured by the Reincarnation millstone!

“…Warning! Foundation damaged! Foundation damaged!”

“…Uncomprehendable variable! Unswallowable causality!”

“…Requesting main sequence support… Requesting…”

The icy intent of Adjudicator γ-7 finally carried a trace of… fear!

It discovered that Xu Ran’s causality was a trap from the very start!

Within it were not only his own life and death, but also the tragic elegy of the Divine Court civilization, the end of the Master of Gui Xu, and even that wisp of “root” venom from the mysterious bone finger, something that even “Heavenly Principle” was wary of!

It tried to swallow Xu Ran, only to have these things choke its throat and rupture its belly from within!

“You’re only thinking of asking for aid now? Too late!”

Xu Ran’s voice came from the core of the Reincarnation millstone, filled with domineering resolve!

“With ten thousand Daos as fuel, I ignite my true flame! With Heavenly Principle as grain, I forge my Daoist Monarch!”

“Break—for me!”

Boom!!!!

The Reincarnation millstone spun at its utmost limit!

The Celestial Law Scripture—symbol of absolute order—finally could not endure. With an unwilling wail, it exploded apart!

Endless, boundless, utterly pure origin of “principle,” free of any impurity, surged like a breached galactic river and was swallowed in one gulp by the Reincarnation millstone!

At that moment, Xu Ran’s aura shattered the final barrier!

His Divine Soul, his flesh, his everything, under the washing of this immense Origin Power, underwent an ultimate metamorphosis!

The Reincarnation Domain that had previously been merely at the Daoist Master level now began to solidify, beginning to possess the supreme might to define an entire space-time!

Where his gaze fell, the birth and death of stars happened at a single thought!

Where his will reached, the rules of spacetime twisted and changed accordingly!

Daoist Monarch!

After devouring an Adjudicator that stood “Above Daoist Monarch,” Xu Ran finally broke his shackles, and in a way unprecedented in past or future, defied the heavens, proved his Dao, and attained his own “Reincarnation Daoist Monarch” throne!

An aura far more terrifying than at any previous moment erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire prison Star Domain!

The dead, gray firmament of that cage, under the impact of this aura, was actually torn open into a gigantic rift, revealing the even deeper, even colder true Cosmos beyond!

The cage… was broken!

“He succeeded… My lord, he… succeeded!”

On the Pioneer, Zhen Shan and the others fell into a deathly Silence for a moment, then erupted into earth-shattering cheers! They had witnessed a miracle with their own eyes! A final myth of the weak defeating the strong and defying the heavens!

Out in the starry void, Xu Ran slowly withdrew the Reincarnation millstone, letting it once more become human form.

He floated there quietly, feeling the surging, inexhaustible new Power within him.

This was the realm of Daoist Monarch!

Words become Law; my heart is Heaven’s heart!

Yet there was not much joy on his face.

He lifted his head, looking toward that rift he had torn open, leading to the outside world.

In the final instant before it was devoured, Adjudicator γ-7 had still managed to send out a remnant thought.

“…Variable ‘Xu Ran’ has proved Daoist Monarch… Pollution source suspected to be ‘The Primordial’…”

“…Initiate final contingency…”

“…Awaken… the ‘Graveyard’… Guardian…”

Graveyard Guardian?
