In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

"An ant dares to shake the heavens?"

Within that chilling aura of will, a faint hint of disdain emanated. From the black crack, an indescribable "tentacle" slowly emerged, seemingly moving slowly, yet instantly coiling around the giant metal serpent!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a chilling "melting".

The giant metal serpent was like ice and snow in the face of the scorching sun; it quickly disintegrated and dissipated, turning into the most basic particles, which were then devoured by the tentacles.

Su Han's soul was severely damaged as a result, and his vision went black as he almost completely lost consciousness.

But instead, he laughed, a blood-soaked, heart-wrenching laugh.

Because he knew that as long as he was alive, as long as he had a breath left, he would never let this high and mighty being succeed so easily!
"You want my soul? You want the core of the Burial Ground?"

Su Han's consciousness, on the verge of collapse, let out a final cry: "Then let's give it a try!"

In an instant, his broken body suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented light!
That was the deathly gray of the burial ground, the golden red of the phoenix's rebirth, and even more so, Su Han's indomitable will!

Three distinct forces merged perfectly in an incredible way, unleashing a storm within him that swept through his soul and body!
"Give it to me...break it!"

Su Han roared and used all his strength to punch the black crack!
There was no clash of energies, no collision of laws. The moment his fist touched the crack, it simply "merged" into that void!

At the same time, the power of the Burial Bone Realm Source Essence was pushed to its limit. Inside the crack, countless gray-white death runes replicated and spread like a virus, creating a violent repulsion and annihilation with the pure void power!

"Zizzi-"

A piercing sound rang out, and the black crack trembled violently, beginning to twist and contract erratically.

The extended tentacle also emitted a painful shriek, tightly bound by grayish-white runes, constantly dissolving.

Su Han's figure was sent flying backward by the intense energy conflict, crashing hard into the solidified rock wall and causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the hard "grayish-white amber".

More dark golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his body was almost falling apart, but his eyes burned with an unprecedented light!
He succeeded!

He used his own soul as a guide and the essence of the Burial Bone Realm as a blade to temporarily sever the spying from the "Lord of the Ruins"! However, he also paid a huge price.

The excruciating pain in his soul came in waves, almost threatening to engulf him completely.

He could clearly feel his life force rapidly slipping away, as if it were being quickly drained away by something.

"Not enough... far from enough..."

Su Han gasped for breath, his gaze sweeping across the desolate battlefield.

His gaze fell upon the giant's remains, solidified by the gray-white tide.

At the core of that massive metal skeleton, there seemed to be a trace of extremely faint but exceptionally pure "spirit" essence remaining.

"Perhaps... we can take a gamble!"

A resolute glint flashed in Su Han's eyes.

He dragged his badly wounded body and crawled with difficulty toward the metal wreckage. Every step he took aggravated his injuries, bringing excruciating pain.

Finally, he arrived at the giant metal skeleton.

He stretched out his equally broken hand and placed it on the cold, hard metal.

He mobilized the remaining essence of the Buried Bone Realm and the Phoenix Embers within his body, carefully attempting to communicate with that wisp of artifact spirit essence.

"Om..."

The massive metal skeleton trembled slightly, and the faint primordial light at its core seemed to sense the same indomitable will within Su Han, and slowly, tentatively, connected with him.

A vast and pure flow of metallic law information surged into Su Han's mind like a flood bursting its banks!
Countless pieces of knowledge about forging, about metallic life, and about immortal alloys exploded in his mind! (End of Chapter)
