Chapter 290 Cultivation World 79
That malice was fleeting, like a stone thrown into a stagnant pool, creating ripples before quickly returning to silence.

But it had clearly marked a distinct coordinate on Si Lingle's perception map, one filled with decay and greed—deep in the shadows of about three intersecting crystal peaks to her right.

There was no hesitation, no tentative words. In this land of judgment and exile, any voice is superfluous; power is the only language.

The divine blood remnants beneath Si Lingle's feet suddenly shone brightly!

The outline of the ancient, forcibly erased symbol on the ground became several times clearer in an instant, as if it were flowing with invisible blood.

Three pale golden phantoms shot into the sky from the head of the wreckage. They were not physical entities, but rather the lingering, undying will of their race! They carried ancient sorrow and anger, converging into three invisible forces of law, instantly empowering Si Lingle!
This is the last indomitable will of Xingchen Yushang's clan. At this moment, it is temporarily awakened by the legacy jade tablet and the fragments of Yushang's divine breath carried on Si Lingle's body, becoming an aid for her to fight against the spy!

The silver-gray final flames surrounding Si Lingle were instantly tinged with a chilling golden edge.

She didn't rush towards the perceived coordinates—that was too direct and could easily lead to a trap. With a flicker, she seemed to merge with the space itself, frozen by the laws of termination, and vanished from the spot!

This is not high-speed movement, but rather a [Void Shift] based on the Void Realm Divine Core's deeper understanding of the spatial laws of this place!
Her body transformed into invisible spatial ripples, avoiding direct detection. The next moment, she silently appeared behind and to the side of the source of the malice, in the shadows above a distorted crystal peak.

The space beneath her feet was like a gentle, thin layer of ice, supporting her figure without causing the slightest ripple.

Look down.

In a recessed crystal depression below, a strange entity lies crouching.

It is not a living being of flesh and blood, but rather a product of a distorted law.

The main body is a wriggling, semi-solidified dark gray fluid, like rotten asphalt, constantly dissolving and recombining the surrounding tiny crystal fragments.

Within this fluid core, three slowly rotating, murky eye-shaped gems are embedded—the very source of greed and malice! Several bone spikes, formed from fragments of the laws of termination, support its viscous body like spider legs.

"Hmph... The Corruptor." Si Lingle instantly understood its true nature. This was a termite of law, born from the corruption and mutation of the final laws of the Ruins of Ashes over countless years, or perhaps mixed with the resentment of the scattered remains of the gods!
It feeds on the faint remnants of divinity and fragments of laws that remain in this place, and instinctively covets anything that possesses energy and "life force".

The jade tablet, the divine breath of the feather, and especially the aura of the Dao of the End that Si Lingle had just adapted to, were undoubtedly the most delicious delicacies!
The three eyes of the Corruptor's core suddenly locked onto Si Lingle atop the crystal peak! Its viscous body sprang up from the depression with such speed that it left a dark afterimage, and several law-based bone spikes tore through the solidified air, piercing straight at Si Lingle!
"Hiss—Buzz!"

The space was forcibly pierced by the bone spikes, emitting a teeth-grinding, grinding, annihilating sound! Si Lingle was prepared, drawing a mysterious trajectory with her fingertips.

A transparent barrier, as thin as a cicada's wing yet imbued with the essence of ending, solidification, and annihilation, instantly unfolded before her. It wasn't a direct, head-on blockage, but rather, at the moment she was pierced by the bone spikes, the barrier produced a strange effect of folding, extending, and annihilating!

The destructive energy contained in the bone spikes that pierced the barrier was quickly digested and assimilated by the barrier itself, transforming into the power that maintained the barrier's existence.

At the same time, the extended space of the barrier slows down the speed of the bone spurs infinitely, as if they were stuck in a bottomless quagmire!
"Awooo—!" The Corruptor let out a shriek that was inhuman, like countless crystals rubbing together, instinctively trying to pull back its bone spikes. But how could Si Lingle let it go?

A cold glint flashed in his silver eyes! Within the [Heart Origin Universe Map], the star representing the end of the new Daoist rhythm erupted with a profound gray light!
Si Lingle pointed her fingers like a knife, and a silver-gray spatial blade, condensed to its extreme and only as thick as a hair, suddenly appeared! It slashed across the bone spurs "frozen" by the spatial barrier in an instant at a speed beyond comprehension!

Click, click, click!

It wasn't the sound of physical objects breaking, but rather the sound of pure laws and spatial structures being forcibly sheared and annihilated! Those several law-based bone spikes that pierced the barrier turned to ashes inch by inch from their roots!
Intense pain and... a deeper greed shone in the core of the Corruptor! At the base of the severed bone spurs, gray fluid writhed frantically, attempting to regenerate. But it had lost its vital attack tentacles.

"You're too slow." Si Lingle's voice was as if it came from the deepest hell, devoid of any emotion. She finally moved! Her figure blurred again, completely ignoring spatial distance, appearing directly above the sluggish, injured Corruptor!

Her right palm was raised high, and within its palm, a miniature "black hole" formed from the laws of termination was taking shape. The surrounding light, even fragments of space, were forcibly distorted, swallowed, and compressed into that tiny point!
He slammed it down with a single palm strike!
There was no earth-shattering explosion. The palm pressed down on the writhing fluid core of the Corruptor. The miniature black hole suddenly expanded, instantly engulfing the Corruptor completely!
The Law Worm struggled and shrieked frantically, its three core eyeballs emitting dark beams of struggling energy. But before the absolute power of the Void Devouring Vortex's return to nothingness and its ultimate power, it was like a firefly trying to illuminate the abyss!

Its viscous body twisted violently, was compressed, and disintegrated. Finally, along with its three eyeballs, it was completely swallowed, decomposed, and transformed into the pure fragments of the final law and the faint divine essence needed to maintain Si Lingle's killing move!
The whole process took less than three breaths!

The vortex disappeared, and Si Lingle landed slowly. Only a few ripples of space, now completely purified, remained, gently undulating in the spot.

The spatial divine power consumed within her body was rapidly replenished by the surrounding sparse chaotic energy. The [Heart Origin Universe Map] absorbed the pure fragments of the End and the faint divinity, and the End star track in the map seemed to solidify slightly, gleaming with a dark luster.

She felt the new insights brought about by this battle: the destructive power of the Dao of Termination was beyond imagination, especially against monsters born from the mutation of the laws themselves, it was simply a natural enemy.

The [Void Devouring Vortex] not only destroys, but also has the miraculous effect of plundering essence to nourish itself. Although the method is cruel, it is the most effective way to survive in this desperate situation.

The light of the divine blood remnants on the ground dimmed, and the phantoms of the three divine descendants' wills slowly dissipated, leaving only clearer outlines of ancient symbols, as if bidding a silent farewell.

Si Lingle surveyed the desolate crystal mountain around her. Dealing with one Corruptor was just the beginning.

She could sense that in the darkness further away, there were even more similar, or even stronger, lurking forces, sensing the movements here. This forbidden land was both a training ground and a hunting ground.

She is the prey, and she can also be the hunter.

His gaze returned to the burning fragments of the Star Corridor of Burial Stars and Yu Shang's last message in his sea of ​​consciousness.

“The Corridor of Burial Stars… the Eye of Judgment…” Si Lingle murmured. The Eclipses might just be native predators entrenched here, but those “omnipresent eyes” posed a threat far greater than imagined.

The core eye of the Corruptor set off alarm bells in her mind—was that a mark left after being corrupted by the Eye of Judgment?

You can't stay here for long!

She has begun to adapt to the final laws of the Ash Ruins, and the prototype of her new Dao Domain has been tested in actual combat.

Although the jade tablet's sensory input had already pointed to the exit (that spatial fragment), now that Yu Shang had provided the specific coordinates, the target was even clearer.

She needs to leave this closed cage as soon as possible and actively enter the "disorderly land" indicated by the star map in order to truly embark on the path of seeking the truth.

But how to activate the coordinates? Just relying on the aura of the jade tablet and her spatial power? The resonance between the jade tablet and Yu Shang's divine breath, as well as the scene of triggering the power of the divine blood remnant, gave her inspiration.

Si Lingle walked to the center of the platform and sat down cross-legged. She guided out the core divine energy left behind by Yu Shang in her sea of ​​consciousness, which floated in her palm and emitted pure stellar divine energy fluctuations.

At the same time, she fully activated the [Heart Origin Universe Map], pouring her newly comprehended ultimate Dao into the floating jade tablet without reservation!
"Using the will of the stars as a guide, and the power of the end as a key..."

"Om-!"

The jade tablet trembled violently! Profound spatial runes emerged from the tablet's surface, no longer a vague sensation, but resonating clearly with Yu Shang's divine energy in his palm!

As if summoned, that wisp of divine energy transformed into a dazzling starlight key, which suddenly disappeared into the engraving in the center of the jade tablet!

At the same time, the star map fragment of the Burial Star Corridor in Si Lingle's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly shone brightly and was projected into the void in front of her!
The complex lines of the star map began to combine and extend wildly, eventually forming a stable, rotating portal that seemed to lead to an endless, chaotic dimension—a spatial vortex!
At the heart of the gate lies the deep dimensional crevice that Yu Shang described as "so dim and indistinct that even the divine realm's laws and net are blurred and dim!" A chaotic, distorted aura, filled with turbulent currents of unknown laws, emanates from it!
The door opened!
Si Lingle abruptly stood up, her body surging with the Dao of the End, transforming into the most solid protective barrier. She took one last look at this desolate land of Ash Ruins, which had buried the Xingchen Yushang clan, tempered her new Dao Domain, and was full of danger and opportunity.

In his silver eyes, there was determination, curiosity, and a soaring fighting spirit to face unknown challenges!
Without the slightest hesitation, Si Lingle took a step forward, her figure instantly disappearing into the swirling star map vortex gate!
The portal rippled violently after she entered, rapidly collapsing and dissipating inwards with the aura of the final destruction of the Ash Ruins.

Above the platform, only an ancient, deathly silence remained, with three enormous remains of divine offspring silently recounting the past. The wind remained still and silent.

Si Lingle's figure had already stepped into the chaotic spatial currents leading to the Burial Star Corridor. Xing Chenyu's destiny and warning awaited her ahead.

The shadow known as the "Eye of Judgment" seems to have turned its gaze toward this new chaotic dimension because of the movement of this key.

The moment Si Lingle stepped into the star map vortex, it felt as if she had fallen into the stomach of the universe—the feeling of weightlessness, along with the turbulent currents of laws, tore at her body, and spatial fragments flew around her like shattered mirrors.

The Daoist aura of the End automatically surged, forming a layer of hazy, flowing barrier on the body's surface, forcibly blocking the raging dimensional tides.

She moved through the bizarre passages like a rock, her divine sense highly concentrated, and the final star in her Mind Universe Diagram continued to rotate, greedily absorbing the scattered fragments of laws that escaped from the chaos.

Si Lingle landed on a huge rock fragment floating in the void.

Beneath their feet lay a ground composed of dark purple crystals, with liquid starlight flowing through the cracks; above them was a distorted starry sky, with massive star remains hanging upside down like tombstones.

In the distance, more fragmented landmasses float, haphazardly connected by dark red energy threads, forming a bizarre three-dimensional labyrinth—the Burial Star Corridor!
Before they could examine it closely, a blinding burst of lightning and the clang of metal clashing suddenly erupted from the cave on the left!
Five figures are engaged in a fierce battle with a group of translucent, worm-like monsters:
Ink-scaled Crystal Leech: Its serpentine body is covered with mirror-like scales that refract mental interference ripples, and its mouthparts spray corrosive spatial mucus.

Green-robed swordsman (Xuanfeng, Tianjian Pavilion): His sword moves were fierce, with lightning crackling around the blade, yet he could not break through the crystal leech scales. His left arm had been corroded by the slime, revealing the white bone beneath.
Purple-veiled female cultivator (Su Miao, Hundred Flowers Valley): Her fingertips unleash phantom butterflies to disrupt the enemy, but the illusion keeps distorting and failing in the spatial turbulence.
The brown-robed giant (Shigang, Panshan Sect): He used his giant shield to withstand the attack, the shield surface was covered with spider web-like cracks, and his feet were stuck deep in the crystal rock.

Two people fighting on the edge:

Silver-Armored Thunder Cultivator (Xiao Ming, Shenxiao Sect): He used a thunder spear to bombard the tails of the leech swarm, attempting to block the mucus spray;

White-robed array master (Yun Che, Xingluo Island): He quickly set up a defensive array plate, but the runes were shattered by the turbulent current, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Shi Gang, retreat! The scales have spatial layers!" Xuan Feng roared as he parried a tail whip, sparks flying from the lightning sword.

Su Miao's voice was already trembling with tears: "The divine power was being devoured by this world far too quickly!"
-
Si Lingyue's gaze suddenly turned cold!
With a light touch of the toes on the rock surface, his figure transformed into a gray line tearing through the void—Void Shift Duet!

The afterimage remained in place, but the real body had already plunged into the heart of the leech swarm. The right palm pressed down in mid-air:
"lonely."

With her as the center, a dark gray force field with a radius of ten feet suddenly descended!

The mirror-like scales of the crystal leech peeled off layer by layer under the law of annihilation, like butter thrown into a hot knife; the spurted mucus vaporized silently before it even touched the gray area.

The azure core of the three-headed crystal leech flickered wildly, attempting to reorganize the spatial structure, but was firmly suppressed by the Daoist rhyme of the end!
“The star is extinguished.” Si Lingyue pointed her fingers across the void.

Three hair-thin, silver-gray blades pierced precisely through the insect's core!

There was no explosion, no screams. The three leech bodies, like pencil drawings erased by an eraser, crumbled into nothingness from their tails. The remaining leeches scattered in terror, disappearing into the crevices of the rocks.

A deathly silence enveloped the battlefield.

The five divine cultivators stood frozen in place, staring in shock at the ashes slowly dissipating on the rocky ground. Su Miao's fingertip trembled as she pointed at Si Lingle: "You...your power can restrain the laws here?"

Si Lingyue brushed away imaginary dust from her clothes: "Cooperation, or solitude."

Xuanfeng sheathed his sword and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Xuanfeng of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion swears an oath to advance and retreat together with you, with the heart of a sword!"

Shi Gang, carrying the tattered shield, boomed, "The Panshan Sect owes you a life!"

Just as everyone was exchanging names, Yun Che suddenly looked towards a certain spot in the void: "Something's not right!"

The dust that had dissipated from the crystal leech did not disperse; instead, it was drawn upwards by some force, condensing into a distorted, grayish-white eye phantom!

The images of the five people were reflected deep within his pupils, with Si Lingle's face clearly imprinted in the center.

"The Mark of the Eye of Judgment" Si Lingle's palm was filled with the Daoist aura of the End, and the gray eye phantom instantly collapsed, but the bone-chilling coldness had already been engraved into everyone's spine.

Xiao Ming's thunderous spear pointed directly into the depths of the corridor: "Three thousand miles to the northeast, a dragon-shaped radiance soars into the sky!"

As everyone looked on, a crimson-gold dragon shadow roamed through the shattered star space, with a rhomboid crystal floating at its head, emanating the aura of primordial chaos!

"It's the Chaos Origin Core! A divine object that can replenish one's Dao foundation!" Su Miao exclaimed in surprise.

Si Lingle narrowed her silver eyes slightly—the edge of the precious light was entwined with a very faint gray mist, which was of the same origin as the Eye of Judgment!
"Let's go." She transformed into a gray rainbow and sped towards the dragon's shadow, the Daoist aura of the End surging behind her like a cloak. "This Source Core is the bait to lure us into this trap."

Five streaks of light followed closely behind and shot into the abyss.
