Chapter 1215 - 556: The Abyss

Chapter 556

This furnace core is a dead end, and outside is the domain of the Celestial Law!

No! I cannot escape!

If there’s no way to retreat, then... carve out a path!

His gaze did not focus on the ’Zero’ light gathering outside the furnace core but was fixed firmly on a...’node’ within the furnace space!

It was amidst ten thousand Dao’s boost, with his Divine Soul soaring to Daoist Monarch Fourth Heaven, relying on the deduction of the ’Great Evolution Algorithm’, that he faintly perceived it, the weakest yet most central structural singularity of the entire furnace core!

The Ancient Tree of Light said, the key has entered the furnace.

What is the key? Is it Xu Ran? Is it the Pioneer?

No! It is none of them!

The key is the act itself of breaking free from this cage of destiny!

It’s the courage to dare and punch towards a higher dimension!

"Elders, watch me... open a brand new cycle of reincarnation for you... and for myself!"

Xu Ran’s Divine Soul was ablaze, his Daoist Monarch Dharma, that Divine Statue forged by ten thousand Liuli, at this moment, unexpectedly began to disassemble on its own!

Not disintegration, but... sacrifice!

He actually compressed and ignited the realm he had just broken into, the Dao body he had just formed, along with the reincarnation world that carried the gifts of ancient Heroic Spirits, transforming them into the purest, most primal, most violent... Breaking Wall Power!

"Reincarnation Dao Fist · Epoch Obliteration!"

He gathered all his strength, all his will, all the elders’ expectations, into one punch!

This punch no longer pursued any elaborate Daoist principle changes, nor did it emphasize any construction of order. It had only one purpose — to break everything! To destroy everything!

The direction of the fist was not towards the Celestial Executors, not towards the remnants of Prison Suppression, but that space node he had locked onto!

Boom——!!!!

It was like the first thunder of creation or the universe’s final lament before its demise!

Xu Ran’s fist hit the node hard!

The entire furnace core, this ’cauldron’ that imprisoned countless epochal powerhouses, this energy source that provided ’fuel’ for the Celestial Law, under this impact, emitted an unbearable loud noise!

Crack... Crack-crack...

Centred around the point where the fist landed, dark abyss-like cracks spread madly outward like a spider’s web!

The furnace core... shattered!

"Alert! Alert! Gengchen 739’s ’Cauldron’ has suffered irreversible structural damage!"

"Zero program... aborted!"

"Anomaly... breached control!"

The voice of the Celestial Executors, for the first time, carried a hint of ’astonishment’ in its icy data flow. It seemed entirely unprepared for an ant defined as ’fuel’ to choose such a self-destructive method to smash its ’bowl’ from the inside!

At the moment the furnace core broke, an indescribable torrent of violent energy flooded in from the cracks!

It wasn’t Spiritual Qi, wasn’t Immortal Qi, nor any energy Xu Ran was familiar with. It was a sea of chaotic Dao principles full of the scent of Nirvana and creation!

Outside the furnace core wasn’t a normal cosmic starry sky but a... broader, more dangerous, more unknown... land of exile!

"Go!"

Exerting the last of his Divine Soul Power, Xu Ran swept up the Pioneer, which had long been shattered by the energy storm, and those within like Zhen Shan, diving headlong into the fiercest space fissure like an arrow from a bow!

At the moment their figures disappeared, a giant hand made entirely of ’order’ runes reached from an unknown dimension outside the furnace core, grabbing the disintegrating furnace core.

With a gentle grip, the enormous furnace core, along with the remaining Daoist Crystal Stones inside, was instantly crushed into microscopic particles, completely annihilated.

But it was, ultimately, one step too late.

The ’anomaly’ had already escaped into that sea that even the ’Celestial Law’ could not fully control... the Sea of Realms!

A cold voice echoed in the chaos, seemingly issuing new orders.

"Target ’anomaly’ has escaped to the ’Abandonment Sea’..."

"Issue the ’Celestial Principle Pursuit Order’, sequence number: Alpha First Number."

"All civilizations under my ’Celestial Law’ jurisdiction have the duty... to hunt this beast!"

"Mission reward: One great realm... thousand-year ’exemption right’."

...

The concepts of time and space became blurred here.

Xu Ran felt his Divine Soul, along with the wreckage of the Pioneer, swept into an extremely rapid river. The water was composed of countless shattered laws, degenerate world fragments, and Nirvana Dao principles.

With each roll, countless sharp Law Fragments cut through his Divine Soul and dissolved his Dao Foundation.

After sacrificing all his strength, his already exceedingly weak Divine Soul was further diminished under this scourge, like a candle flickering in the wind, at risk of extinguishing any moment.

The Daoist Monarch Fourth Heaven’s realm was already unstable, rapidly declining.

Third Heaven... Second Heaven...

Eventually, it barely stabilized at the Early Stage of Daoist Monarch First Heaven, with a damaged foundation and fragmented domain, even more tragic than before he entered the furnace core!

This was... the cost of breaking the cage!

Yet he had no regrets.

Because, he survived!

He achieved a ’statement’ for those indomitable Heroic Spirits! He shattered the Celestial Law’s ’cauldron’ with his own hands, fiercely slapping that lofty existence with a resounding smack!

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of Divine Soul Blood was spat out as Xu Ran’s consciousness finally plunged into boundless darkness.
