Chapter 808 Immortal and Indestructible (Two Chapters Combined, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
When Lin Rui's main consciousness returned to the body of Satellite No. 9, he directly called upon the Ring Spirit: "Use the divine remnant spirits I captured to deduce my fundamental martial intent, and maximize its enhancement!"

He originally planned to delay for a while longer, waiting until he had fully digested and absorbed all the insights he had gained from the divine battle on Huangshan Island before using this divine remnant spirit.

However, Lin Rui's experience today gave him a strong sense of urgency.

He must enhance his core strength in order to see through the fog ahead.

Using the remnants of the Southern Abyss to deduce the concept of One was something Lin Rui had decided long ago.

Lin Rui's fundamental martial intent is his foundation. Only by laying a solid foundation can he resist the erosion of the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable and truly refine the Pure Lightning, Holy Thunder, and Tribulation Fire techniques.

Ring Spirit: Consumes one divine-level remnant spirit to maximize the deduction of the concept of 'One'. Requires an additional 3340 million soul power. Do you wish to use it?

Lin Rui agreed, and his mind immediately exploded like a supernova.

At this moment, the Throne of Truth manifested directly behind him. Lin Rui sat on it, and nine pairs of starlight wings behind him quickly unfurled, like a curtain falling from the sky, illuminating the entire dock base as a dazzling sea of ​​stars.

The War Spirit Ring on his hand burst forth with a ghostly blue light, and the remnant spirit of the Southern Abyss wailed and decomposed into billions of Truth Runes amidst the Holy Lightning Tribulation Fire, which, carrying the power of the Divine Throne's origin, poured into his brow.

Lin Rui's wisdom soared infinitely, climbing to a realm far surpassing that of the gods. In an instant, countless images and texts flooded into his mind. Knowledge from the entire sky poured into his cognition like a torrential rain. The trajectory of star birth and collapse flickered in his eyes, and even the projection of the Sea of ​​Origin appeared in his primordial spirit.

Lin Rui even felt that his consciousness encompassed the entire dimension, with the past and future unfolding before him like a scroll.

He saw his concept of 'One' collapse into a singularity in the Sea of ​​Origin, and then explode with a roar from the throne, transforming into strands of silvery-white threads that wove into a giant net covering the heavens in the primordial chaos, evolving the trajectory of the birth and death of all things.

Lin Rui also saw fragments of memories from the Southern Abyss's 47,000 years of cultivation of various flame and Great Sun techniques, the temporal and spatial folds when the Supreme Celestial Venerable severed the root, and his own concept of 'One' constantly collapsing and recombining in the tide of truth.

A three-dimensional Tai Chi symbol made of light and flame appeared on his chest, and liquid source matter like a long river of stardust surged in his blood vessels. Every muscle was undergoing millions of tears and regenerations.

"I see--"

Lin Rui thought to himself that the so-called deductions of the 'Battle Spirit Ring' were indeed based on the laws of truth.

His primordial spirit, combined with the supreme transcendent 'truth,' naturally deduces all secret martial arts techniques and all conceptual methods.

The vast majority of them, even directly from the transcendent 'truth,' are the source of his familiarity; it feels like they are inherently the same.

However, his concept of "all laws return to one, and one returns to all laws" is still somewhat different from the truth.

The more Lin Rui deduced and understood, the clearer his senses became.

His 'one' is not a static endpoint, but an endless cycle—the origin is like the source of a river, all things are like tributaries branching out, and finally they flow back into the vast ocean, returning to the beginning.

Truth is the essence of the world as anchored by the Supreme Celestial Venerable's divine thoughts; it is absolute cognition. His "One" is the flowing universe, allowing contradictions to coexist, and is also a perpetually moving furnace of creation.

Truth can dissect everything down to the atom, while 'One' can reshape the world after the atom splits.

Truth defines boundaries, 'One' eliminates limits, and eternally cycles between destruction and creation.

After the simulation lasted for a full seven hours, Lin Rui gradually emerged from his state of omniscience and omnipotence.

At this moment, all nine pairs of starlight wings behind him dimmed, then reborn amidst holy white flames, scorching and illuminating the surrounding space in a holy white color.

Lin Rui felt that his control over the Purification Method and the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire had been further enhanced.

At this moment, His concept of 'One' should have reached 87%, but this is the limit of the fourth Abyss God Tablet in his hands, not the limit of his own martial intent.

Lin Rui felt that with his understanding of 'all laws return to one, and one returns to all laws', he could raise the concept of martial intent to 92% strength, but this would take time.

It requires a bit of painstaking effort, slowly carving it out in the Sea of ​​Origins. If you're lucky, you can improve by one or two points in six months.

Lin Rui thought to himself that he still had to find a way to retrieve the two Abyss God Tablets from the Northern Abyss and the Eastern Abyss.

The area in the Northern Abyss is the most important place, allowing him to fully conceptualize his martial intent and achieve enlightenment.

The piece from the Eastern Abyss is the icing on the cake; it allows him to collect all five pieces, which can help him master the Root in the future.

Lin Rui then asked the Battle Spirit Ring, "How many Soul Power Points do I need to refine the Origin Essence Core of the 'Southern Abyss'?"

Note: Refining the Origin Core of the 'Southern Abyss' requires 7900 million Soul Points.

As Lin Rui had expected, after his fundamental understanding improved, the difficulty of refining the 'Southern Abyss' source essence core decreased significantly.

At this moment, a vague thought flashed through Lin Rui's mind: what kind of being is the spirit of this Battle Spirit Ring?

When he agreed, the Abyssal Essence and Abyssal Core, which were embedded in his palm in the shape of a fiery gem, suddenly burst forth with a purple-gold flame, collapsing like a small star in his palm.

Suddenly, the Throne of Truth behind Lin Rui burst forth with dazzling silver light, and twelve platinum chains extended from the bottom of the throne, tightly binding his body and source core.

Three-dimensional spiral runes of truth appeared on the surface of the throne, each one deconstructing the essence of the concept of 'immortality'.

Lin Rui's consciousness was forcibly pulled into the core of the God's Throne, where he saw the source matter of the Southern Abyss being decomposed into the purest conceptual particles in the tide of truth.

Transparent purple-gold patterns appeared all over his body, like ancient divine script flowing under his skin. Refined liquid source matter and source core surged in his blood vessels, emitting a bell-like tremor.

The remnants of consciousness from the Southern Abyss refused to submit, carrying an inextinguishable fire and a belief in burning everything upwards.

At this moment, Lin Rui also exerted his power, and the Purification Technique extinguished the purple-gold flames like a tide, washing over the inside and outside of the source core. His Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire condensed into 33,000 chains and pierced into it, peeling away the remaining fragments of the Southern Abyss's will.

Lin Rui's nine pairs of starlight wings transformed into a silvery-white net, enveloping the source core within.

Each wing was exploring the path of fusion between 'immortality' and 'oneness'. The liquid source in his blood vessels suddenly boiled, resonating with the Throne of Truth with a deafening roar, replacing the concept of 'immortality' engraved in the depths of the Sea of ​​Origin by the Southern Abyss with his divine imprint.

The remnant consciousness of the Southern Abyss, along with a portion of the source essence and source core, transformed into a Purgatory Demon Dragon that soared into the sky from Lin Rui's palm.

However, He had just taken flight when He was ambushed by Lin Rui's Primordial Heavenly Dragon and intercepted by the unbreakable Holy Lightning Network and the Pure Fire Wall.

Suddenly, three thousand silver-white roots extended from the base of the Throne of Truth and plunged into the void—those were the manifested tentacles of the Sea of ​​Origin, forcefully pulling the demonic dragon back into Lin Rui's palm.

At this moment, the phantom of the Supreme Celestial Venerable appeared on the back of the divine throne. His fingertip touched Lin Rui's palm, and instantly countless runes representing the concept of truth transformed into ouroboros, biting the demonic dragon's reverse scale.

At that very moment, the nine pairs of starry wings behind Lin Rui were suddenly coated with dark gold patterns. Each feather was reorganizing in the process of burning, and billions of eyes of truth opened at the wing bones, while countless flames and lightning sprouted at the edges.

Within each flame and bolt of lightning, the inscription "Undying" appeared, vaporizing the Heavenly Blood into starlight and dissipating. The Tai Chi diagram on Lin Rui's chest suddenly reversed, and the projection of the Sea of ​​Origin emanated from his pupils.

At this moment, Lin Rui used 'Truth' as ​​a scalpel to analyze and dissect all the mysteries of the Immortal Law, and used 'All Things Return to One' as a furnace to integrate the concept of 'Immortality' into it.

When the source essence and core of the Southern Abyss were refined into the purest 'spirit' and merged into Lin Rui's body, his pupils seemed to transform into a burning purple-gold sun.

Lin Rui saw eternal runes gradually emerging from the depths of his bones, and an indestructible light burst forth with each heartbeat. Even time itself seemed to reverse and stand still around him.

The entire Sea of ​​Origin rippled slightly with his will, and a semi-transparent image of the Great Sun gradually emerged behind Lin Rui.

"It's done!"

When Lin Rui sensed the 'undying' method deep within the source, completely imprinted with his primordial spirit mark and transformed into his own shape, his expression relaxed slightly.

With a thought from Lin Rui, a ball of holy white flame ignited in his hand, which was his Pure Tribulation Flame, with traces of white-gold lightning flickering inside and outside the flame.

As soon as this ball of pure calamity fire manifested, it revealed the power to burn and purify everything, burning all the surrounding matter into the smallest particles. Even the void of time was cracked and began to violently fluctuate.

But after the lightning and fire extinguished it, the undying light traces, like stardust, automatically reorganized the laws of matter. The spacetime rifts healed in the pure light, and then reformed into new dimensional structures in the flames of cataclysm.

Lin Rui's immortality technique was no longer limited to himself, but could extend to all things around him.

His concept of purity and the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire transcended mere conceptual fusion, becoming a power capable of freely switching between destruction and rebirth under the command of Lin Rui's 'One' martial intent.

Unfortunately, Lin Rui's understanding and control over Purity, Holy Lightning, and Calamity Fire was not deep enough; otherwise, his combination of these powers could definitely have reached the transcendent level!

In fact, this "immortal" method was the first god-level concept that Lin Rui truly mastered.

Thinking of this, Lin Rui glanced at the Throne of Truth behind him with a complicated expression.

This artifact is wonderful, but it's a pity it's not mine.

Ever since the Battle of Huangshan Island, when the Supreme Celestial Venerable unleashed that sword strike 32 years later, Lin Rui realized that this powerful artifact would eventually leave him.

This was bound to happen, and there was no going back.

Lin Rui could only try to get as much benefit as possible before the War Spirit Ring left, while eliminating any potential troubles.

At this moment, Lin Rui couldn't help but recall his mental battle with the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

Lin Rui was not bothered by his crushing defeat. He knew that the gap between him and the Supreme One was huge. At that time, he only had 83% of the One Concept, and the distance between him and the Supreme One's transcendent truth was like an insurmountable chasm.

He didn't have time to use the Purification Technique and the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire in this battle, so his defeat was inevitable.

What truly concerned Lin Rui was the Supreme Celestial Venerable's words—"So it was you all along?"
This celestial being recognizes me? That's impossible, isn't it? Then what is this celestial being's intention? Or perhaps it recognizes someone within me?
Lin Rui thought of the Star Chart Master's warning and the prophecy again, and felt that something was wrong.

—When the light shines upon heaven and earth, the Kingdom of Truth will bloom in the destined flower of flesh and blood, welcoming its eternal master. Is this prophecy related to the actions of the Eastern Abyss?

Why do all the people around me have such a strong "Supreme Blood"?

What does the Lord of Destiny intend? Where is He hiding? And what destiny has He arranged for me?
He pondered for nearly half an hour before contacting Wang Sen.

Lin Rui currently has far too little information, so he must strengthen his foundation while intensifying his efforts to gather information from all sides.

His foundation is simple: first, his own concept of martial intent; second, the 'Glorious Altar' and the followers of the Church of Light.

The more 'glorious altars' there are, the wider the number of believers, the stronger his power, and the more stable the spirit of the heavenly canopy will be, so that it will not be corrupted or tainted by the Great Sun Celestial Venerable and the Seven Generations of Sect Leaders.

One advantage of revealing his identity to the Abyss of the East is that he has more freedom of action in the Eastern Continent, and he can do many things openly, maximizing the collection of resources and wealth.

As long as he doesn't infringe upon the fundamental interests of the Eastern Abyss, he has nothing to worry about this god.

Information also involves two parts: on the one hand, we need to pay attention to the movements of the gods, and on the other hand, we need to invest heavily to explore and investigate the ancient relics of the era of the Supreme Celestial Venerable and the Great Sun, and collect the secrets of the ancient times.

Lin Rui planned to entrust this task to Wang Sen, who was the person he trusted most besides Lin Xi and Lin Yi.

This chubby boy now has a guardian demon with divine-level combat power by his side, and he has also honed his own abilities, making him capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

Ideally, it would be best if Lin Xi and Lin Yi could awaken their memories from ancient times.

However, based on the information Lin Rui currently has, they should be the rebirth of the goddess of despair and pain, which means they are destined not to inherit too many memories of the two ancient gods.

Just as Lin Rui contacted Wang Sen, his heart stirred slightly, and he looked towards the direction of Tianji Star.

"The Undying Dragon Lord?"

Lin Rui opened the 'True Heavenly Eye' between his eyebrows, forcibly tearing open the dimensions of space and time to observe the deepest part of the purgatory.

His gaze gradually turned serious, even revealing a chilling murderous intent.

Lin Rui saw the Earth's core purgatory erupt with a dark red burst of light, the lava boiling and churning, and one of the lava lakes, with a diameter of 1,900 kilometers, rolled up and solidified in the void into the shape of a burning dragon.

The entire Earth's core trembled violently, and invisible, violent etheric waves broke through the dimensional barrier, reaching the Earth's surface and outer space.

The outer layer of the sky cracked like shattered glass, while the inner layer surged with a crimson tide, and the orbits of the twelve satellites were slightly distorted in this energy tide.

Lin Rui sensed that the 'Origin' Sea, which had been calm, was boiling again, and the rhythm seemed to be in sync with the heartbeat of that Dragon Lord, as if the whole world was trembling for the return of this immortal.

The concept of immortality that Lin Rui had just refined suddenly went berserk at his spine, and the nine pairs of starlight wings began to twist again. Some of the runic civilizations flickered, and even the silver pupils between Lin Rui's forehead reflected dragon scale-like blood vessels.

This is Lin Rui's "Undying" method, which violently clashes with the "Undying" Dragon Lord's concept of immortality. The power of the two sides even clashed within the source, causing the entire Sea of ​​Origin to tremble violently like boiling mercury.

Lin Rui narrowed his eyes, recalling the scene he witnessed when he first met the Lord of Darkness.

That Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty was leading that immortal dragon demon like a dog on a leash—

Lin Rui then let out a cold laugh. That Lord of Darkness was quite bold, daring to break the shackles of the Undying Dragon Abomination and allow the Undying Dragon Lord to recover his power. Wasn't he afraid that he wouldn't be able to control him?

Lin Rui felt sympathy for the 'Eastern Abyss' again. This being, who was closest to the 'God King' in the world, was now besieged on all sides.

Of course, this Undying Dragon Lord is also a problem for Lin Rui.

The Eastern Abyss has seized a portion of the Undying Dragon Lord's power and is the ancient god-king's mortal enemy.

However, the 'immortality' that Lin Rui now possesses is in eternal conflict with 'immortality' and 'eternity', and they are destined to be unable to coexist peacefully.

Meanwhile, deep within the Earth's core, in the lava lake that Lin Rui observed with his True Eye of Heaven, the deposed former emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Jiang Jianming, was looking at the very core of the lava lake with a complex expression.

He saw his ancestor, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Jiang Xuanzhang, gradually merging the remains of the Undying Dragon Lord—the Undying Dragon Demon—into his own body.

Actually, it would be more accurate to say that this Great Emperor Taizu of Song was in reverse merging into the immortal dragon's offspring.

Blood streamed from the Emperor's eyes, and his dragon-patterned imperial robes were torn to shreds, yet he still let out bursts of maniacal laughter.

He spread his arms, letting the undead dragon's blue-scaled bone spikes pierce his chest, dragging him into his body, and finally turning into dark gold blood that mingled and boiled with the dragon's bloody green pus.

Every inch of the dragon's body that it merged with the Great Ancestor caused a large patch of its green scales to peel off.

Soon after, the dragon monstrous roared in chaos, and its ferocious dragon head began to grow human features. Its scarlet dragon eyes overlapped with Jiang Xuanzhang's pupils. When its dragon wings spread out, they blotted out the sky and the void cracked where its tail swept across, and a thousand miles of red waves exploded in the lava lake.

"I am immortal!" Jiang Xuanzhang's laughter grew even more unrestrained: "Do you see this? My descendant, this is the abyss! I have waited in purgatory for 6000 years, and finally this opportunity has come."

Jiang Jianming, the former emperor of the Song Dynasty, watched this scene with an extremely gloomy expression.

The reason he led his subordinates and many relatives to rebel and enter Purgatory was because he received news that his ancestor was about to merge with the Undying Dragon Abomination and thus ascend to godhood in one fell swoop.

This infuriated him, yet he had no choice but to act decisively.

Jiang Jianming knew that once his great ancestor became the abyss, the Eastern Abyss would no longer be able to contain him and the Song Dynasty imperial family.

However, as he looked at the scene before him, thoughts involuntarily arose in his mind.

Is this ancestor fused with the Undying Dragon Abyss? Or was this ancestor absorbed by the Undying Dragon Abyss?
Could the founder of the Song Dynasty really control the legacy of a divine king?
