Chapter 1212: Carving a Path to Survival for Myself_2

The Yin-Yang shield trembled violently, the black and white colors spinning swiftly, yet visibly being worn away and melted.

Xu Ran’s Daoist Monarch manifestation flashed wildly, and the Dao blood oozing from his mouth carried a hint of charred blackness from being burnt by the Law.

“Hold on!”

He grit his teeth, pouring out his Divine Soul Power without reservation, maintaining the operation of the Dao shield.

But the power of the Prison Suppression was indeed terrifying. It represented the aggregate strength of countless rebels suppressed by “Celestial Secret” through the ages, its Dao Principles’ “rank” far exceeding the incomplete Great Dao pieced together by Xu Ran.

Crack!

Finally, amidst a crisp wail, the Yin-Yang shield… shattered!

The remaining Suppression Divine Light, like a heavenly punishment, instantly pierced through Xu Ran’s Daoist Monarch manifestation!

“Bang!”

Xu Ran was struck as if hit by lightning, his entire body thrown backward. A huge hole appeared in the chest of his Daoist Monarch manifestation, and the dark red Suppression Law crazily eroded his Dao Foundation like maggots gnawing his bones.

“Reincarnation Domain completeness: 34.2%… 33.5%… 32.8%…”

The completeness retreated rapidly!

This was a sign of his Dao Foundation being destroyed!

“My lord!” Cang Shi and others cried out in despair.

Yet, at this moment of life and death, Xu Ran’s eyes held no trace of fear or despair; instead, they shone with an unprecedented, dazzling light!

Because, at the very moment the Dao shield shattered and the Suppression Divine Light entered his body, his Reincarnation Dao for the first time “intimately” touched this destructive force.

He finally saw the essence of this “Suppression” Law clearly!

It was not a “Dao,” but a… “Law”!

An icy, indisputable, erasing all “anomalies”… divine decree!

“I see… it is so…”

Xu Ran smiled, a smile filled with a hint of understanding, a touch of madness.

“My reincarnation knows only life and death, but does not understand… what ‘order’ is!”

“The path of Celestial Secret is absolute order. It seeks to erase all variables, returning the Cosmos to eternal deathly silence. But for my reincarnation to reverse the heavens and earth, I must establish an ‘order’ of my own!”

“An… order of reincarnation that can embrace myriad paths, allowing the existence of variables!”

At the moment the thought became clear, Xu Ran’s Divine Soul seemed to break free from some shackles, entering an unprecedented ethereal realm.

He no longer suppressed the violent Suppression Law within his body but instead opened up his Dao Domain, allowing it to rampage inside!

He would… use his body as a furnace, his enemy as fire, to forge a new “order” amidst destruction!

“All paths as the foundation, heed my command!”

Xu Ran let out a roar that resounded through his Divine Soul.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the heart of the furnace, those floating Crystal Stones, as if summoned by some call, began to vibrate together!

The Crystal Stone containing the “Sword Dao that pierces the heavens” emitted a thread of unmatched sharp Sword Intent!

The Crystal Stone containing the “Great Deduction Dao” wove a web of Celestial Secrets that foresaw the future!

The Crystal Stone containing the “Mechanical Divine Dao” projected the light of absolute rational logic!

…

Hundreds, thousands of different civilization Origins of Great Dao at this moment crossed the void, transformed into streams of light, and actively converged into Xu Ran’s shattered Daoist Monarch manifestation!

If before Xu Ran actively “swallowed,” then now, it’s the myriad paths actively “offering”!

Because they all sensed a common, fateful enemy in that “Suppression” Law—Celestial Secret!

And Xu Ran’s fledgling, fragile, yet infinitely potential “reincarnation order” was seen as their only hope!

“With the edge of Sword Dao, establish my reincarnation ‘slaughter’ order!”

“With the might of Divine Dao, set my reincarnation ‘hierarchy’ order!”

“With the wonder of Deduction Dao, perform my reincarnation ‘destiny’ order!”

“With the logic of mechanics, solidify my reincarnation ‘logical’ order!”

Xu Ran’s voice echoed in this void, filled with unprecedented solemnity and sanctity. He was no longer just a plunderer, but like a primeval creator deity, establishing the initial rules for his world!

His Daoist Monarch manifestation, under the pouring of the myriad paths’ origins, not only did not explode but began to reshape and transform at an astonishing speed!

The hole in the chest was filled with billions of Sword Light, becoming a deep “kill” character!

The broken arm was recast by divine brilliance, imprinted with majestic “Law” patterns!

The dim eyes were lit up by infinite calculation power, seemingly able to see through past and future, comprehending the trajectory of “fortune”!

And the rampaging “Suppression” Law in his body, in the face of this grand momentum, was like ice encountering magma, being swiftly dissected, refined, and absorbed!

It was forcibly “downgraded” by Xu Ran’s new reincarnation order, from the lofty “Divine Law” to a part of his reincarnation order—a Law of “Punishment!”.

Mastering life, mastering death, mastering punishment!

“Reincarnation Domain completeness: 40%… 45%… 50%!”

Boom!!!

When the completeness broke through 50%, the entire furnace heart shook violently!

Xu Ran’s Daoist Monarch manifestation became completely substantial, as if a Divine Statue cast of myriad Dao Laws Liuli, solemn in appearance, with divine might like a prison!

Daoist Monarch First Heaven… peak!

No, even with half a foot, he had stepped into the threshold of the Second Heaven!

This was a qualitative transformation!

His Dao Domain was no longer incomplete but possessed a stable core and logic, reaching the realm of “Minor Achievement in Dao Domain”!

“Hoo…”

Xu Ran slowly opened his eyes, two beams of substantial Divine Light containing the birth and extinction of myriad paths pierced through the void.

He could feel an unprecedented strength within himself!

At this moment, when he looked again at that terrifying Prison Suppression, there was no longer any trace of fear in his heart, only a raging battle intent!

“Thank you for your ‘Suppression’ Law, for completing the last piece for me.”

Xu Ran gave a distant bow to the Prison Suppression, with a tone of genuine gratitude.

“In return, I will… break your cage, granting you release!”

“Roar?”

In the chaotic consciousness of Prison Suppression, a hint of confusion seemed to flash. It did not understand why this insignificant ant, after suffering its inevitable strike, had its aura surge tenfold.

But its mission was to eradicate.

Confusion lasted only a moment. The next moment brought even more violent intent to kill!

Its body, larger than a star, for the first time was fully revealed from the darkness. It was not flesh, but like a moving war fortress forcibly forged from countless Immortal Divine Gold, civilization wreckage, and strong warrior corpses!

On that sinister shell, Xu Ran even saw the broken Immortal King Sword, shattered Divine Emperor Crown, and… countless faces filled with twisted pain and endless resentment!

“This…”

Xu Ran’s Heart Spirit was suddenly shaken.

He finally understood.

Prison Suppression, Prison Suppression… it’s not a fierce beast.

It is a… living, moving… prison!

Within it, it suppresses all those strong ones who refused to be erased by Celestial Secret, who rose in rebellion through countless ages!

Those blood-colored giant eyes are not its eyes, but the collective interminable hatred and resentment of all who are imprisoned there!

The ancient tree of light spoke of taking Prison Suppression as the opponent.

What opponent? This obviously is a monument bearing the eternal sorrow and unwillingness of countless ages!

“I see… I see…”

Xu Ran murmured to himself, a indescribable sadness and anger surged within him.

Celestial Secret, what kind of existence is it? That it can commit such a cruel act! To forge the flesh and Divine Souls of rebels into a prison guarding the future generations, condemning them to never attain reincarnation, forced to torture one another eternally!

What tyranny! What venom!

“I understand.”

Xu Ran’s eyes became steadfast and determined.

“Today, I will carve out a path not only for myself!”
