Daqin Zhentiansi

Countless crystal fragments, sparkling and radiating a chilling blue aura, scattered and flew in all directions like exploding stars!
Mixed among the fragments are countless fragments of the Heavenly Palace imprint that were forcibly stripped off, shimmering with a malevolent red light, as well as the most core, purest, and most vast essence of the Frost Origin, like streaks of dark blue starry river!

Zhang Yuan's eyes were icy cold; he had been waiting for a long time!
The Chaos Bead floating in the palm of his hand emitted an excited, clear hum!

"swallow!"

An invisible, terrifying suction force originating from the source of chaos suddenly erupted!
With unparalleled precision, all the dissipated, deep blue "galaxy" containing the pure essence of ice was forcibly peeled away from the countless fragments of imprints, like a whale sucking water!

This immense power of ice, capable of freezing an entire universe, transformed into a dazzling torrent of ice.

Without the slightest waste, like a celestial river pouring down, it all poured into the ancient, heavy Yuanyue Heavy Sword in his hand, a sword that had drunk the blood of countless powerful warriors!
"Zheng—!!!"

The sword, forged from black iron, trembled violently, like a dragon's roar!

The thick, dark surface was as if it had been sculpted by an invisible carving knife, suddenly illuminated with billions of profound and complex Dao patterns containing the ultimate truths of the Dao!
Half of it is the vein of the Burning Realm's crimson flames flowing, blazing and surging.

Half of it is covered with patterns formed from millennia-old black ice, chilling and frigid!

Ice and fire, two extreme laws that should be incompatible, were perfectly intertwined, entwined, and resonated under the supreme harmonization of Zhang Yuan's Chaotic True Essence!
A terrifying wave that distorted the entire sealed space, seemingly freezing souls while incinerating everything, suddenly erupted from the greatsword!
Ice Prison Flame Calamity Sword, a masterpiece!

The last vestiges of cold air, devoid of their original support, instinctively tried to erode Zhang Yuan's combat boots, like a dying venomous snake.

Zhang Yuan didn't even lower his head; he simply stepped down casually.

"laugh……"

The dark gold runes flowing across the body of the Chaos God and Demon flickered slightly, and the last bit of chill was instantly evaporated.

It transformed into a wisp of beautiful yet icy azure starlight, rising gently and quietly dissipating beneath his feet.

Before the starlight dissipated, the mournful atmosphere of the sealed core space suddenly transformed into a raging storm!

"hold head high--!!!"

A dragon's roar, filled with endless pain and savagery, tore through the frozen void!

A third figure descended with earth-shattering power!
That was the phantom of a primordial dragon stretching across the sky!

Its dragon body meandered like an endless mountain range, and with each breath it stirred up a world-ending primordial storm—

The gale was as sharp as a divine weapon, easily tearing apart the already shattered space!
The torrential rain was as violent as a celestial river pouring down, each drop containing the weight of stars, crashing and causing ripples to spread across the void!
However, this was not the most chilling sight.

What truly made Zhang Yuan's pupils shrink was the countless thick, pitch-black chains that shimmered with a dark, sinister light, wrapped around the massive body of the Azure Dragon!
These chains are not made of solid metal, but are forcibly forged from the twisted and wailing spirits of countless divine beasts. They are the supreme evil artifact used by the Heavenly Palace to extract the essence of all the divine beasts in the world and enslave their souls for eternity—the Soul Devouring Chains!

The Azure Dragon was tormented day and night by these vicious chains, and its eyes had long lost their clarity.

In its eyes, only the violent and destructive instincts, completely distorted by the Heavenly Palace's imprint, remained!

It let out a desperate roar that shattered souls, accompanied by a primordial storm powerful enough to sweep across star fields. Its enormous dragon claws ignored spatial barriers and, carrying the malevolent power of the Soul-Devouring Chains that extracted the essence of all beasts, slashed down at Zhang Yuan!

The speed was so fast that there was no way to avoid it!
Zhang Yuan's eyes surged with chaotic divine light. Facing this claw that could destroy stars and the universe, he did not retreat but advanced. The dark gold runes on his chaotic divine demon body instantly shone to their fullest!
"Sizzle—!!!"

The dragon claw, powerful enough to crush stars, along with the gale-force winds that tore through space, the torrential rain as heavy as stars, and the vicious evil power of the Soul-Devouring Chain, ripped apart Zhang Yuan's body, which was comparable to that of gods and demons!
Dark golden blood of gods and demons, like burning fragments of stars, sprayed out instantly!

The ancient and noble aura contained in this blood resonated intensely within the sealed space with the same sorrowful power emanating from the remains of the Zhenyue Divine Elephant!

"The Azure Dragon's Origin Blood, dormant for ten thousand years, if not now, when?!"

Zhang Yuan's roar was like an ancient edict that awakened the bloodline of the progenitor!

The primordial blood of the Azure Dragon Ancestor, which had already been refined and fused within his body, instantly boiled!

The chaotic divine light in his eyes faded, replaced by two chaotic azure lights that pierced through illusions and originated from the primordial bloodline!

This azure light, like two sharp swords piercing through time and space, pierced straight into the raging dragon eyes of the Azure Dragon phantom, eyes filled with enslavement and pain!

Almost simultaneously, those greedy Soul-Devouring Chains instinctively coiled towards the splashing dark gold blood beads, attempting to seize the vast chaotic power contained within them.

However, when the Soul-Devouring Evil Power touched the blood of a god or demon containing the aura of their primordial ancestor—

"Aww...woo..."

The enormous phantom of the Primordial Azure Dragon suddenly froze!
The ferocious offensive came to an abrupt halt!

Deep within the dragon's eyes, distorted by the Heavenly Palace's imprint and filled only with slaughter, a monstrous wave suddenly surged forth, as if plunged into the deep sea by a scorching hot iron!
Those were extremely tragic memories, forcibly sealed away and accumulated over millions of years by the Soul-Devouring Chain, which extracted and refined the soul!
It is the excruciating pain of having one's ancestral bloodline desecrated and imprisoned for eternity!
The resonance and lamentation originating from the deepest part of their bloodline, like the most violent storm, fiercely impacted the core of the Heavenly Palace Imprint!
The distorted brand's light flickered violently and erratically, exhibiting unprecedented violent fluctuations and fatal loosening!

Don't miss out!

Between Zhang Yuan's brows, a warm and resilient chaotic light shone brightly, instantly splitting into three thousand golden threads of divine consciousness, as solid as a tangible substance!
Ignoring the interference of the Soul-Devouring Chain, these three thousand divine senses, like the most skillful key, pierced the Azure Dragon phantom with unparalleled precision into the depths of its most core soul origin, which was briefly opened due to bloodline resonance!
"Slay Immortals, Sever Souls!"

Zhang Yuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and then pointed at the air!
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent contained within the Thirteen Ferocious Swords, with its supreme sharpness that specifically targets the origin of the soul and annihilates will, transforms along the three thousand channels of divine consciousness into an invisible and formless blade of intent that can annihilate everything.

The longsword slashed down fiercely at the core of the dragon soul, at the Heavenly Palace mark that exuded a cold, enslaving aura!

"Roar--!!!"

An unprecedented, mournful dragon roar, as if freed from shackles for billions of years, shook the entire core space of the seal like the first thunderclap at the beginning of time!
This roar is no longer a violent slaughter, but contains the relief and liberation after endless pain, and the ultimate cry for freedom!

The phantom of the primordial dragon was no longer controlled by the Heavenly Palace imprint, and its massive dragon body began to disintegrate on its own.

It transformed into a rain of azure light that swept across the entire shattered space, each raindrop containing the pure, primordial, and boundless power of the fundamental laws of primordial wind and rain.

A single drop of the most dazzling and radiant essence of the Ancestral Dragon's true blood, resembling the condensation of ancient stars, quietly fell from the center of the rain of light and precisely merged into the Purple Cloud Lightning Ring on Zhang Yuan's left ring finger.

"Buzz—!!!"

The ring vibrated violently, emitting a clear and melodious dragon's roar!
The originally pure purple lightning pattern instantly transformed.

Ancient dragon-shaped Dao patterns entwine upon it, while the Daoist rhythms of wind, rain, thunder, and celestial laws flow endlessly across the ring face, ultimately forming an imprint containing the rudimentary form of a primordial world of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

The Primordial Heavenly Law Ring—Completed! The two divine figures, the Ice-Breaking Phoenix and the Primordial Azure Dragon, along with the vast and boundless Ice Soul Origin and the Primordial Wind and Rain Origin, surged wildly into Zhang Yuan's Chaotic God-Demon Body like two raging star dragons breaking free of their shackles!

The dark gold runes of the Prison-Suppressing Divine Elephant, which had already merged with the bones and flesh, suddenly lit up.

The chaotic blue patterns brought by the Azure Dragon complemented the crystalline cold flame patterns left by the Ice Phoenix.

The three are no longer merely intertwined, but under the powerful control of the chaotic core within Zhang Yuan's body, they are drawn together and harmonized by the heavy, ancient, and suppressing power of the Prison!
The power of the elephant rules the earth and suppresses the eight wastelands!

The power of the dragon controls the celestial phenomena, summoning clouds and rain!

The interplay of ice and fire, the balance of strength and gentleness, all find their place within the framework of "Prison Suppression"!

"BOOM—!!!"

A roar, as if the chaos had been created and the universe had been born, emanated from Zhang Yuan's body!

His level of life underwent a fundamental leap at this moment!

The restrained dark golden light of the Chaos God-Demon Body became profound and boundless.

It was as if a primordial furnace, capable of containing all the myriad paths of the universe and forging the laws of the heavens, had been reached—the Furnace of Myriad Paths stage!

His every move evoked not just a simple resonance of the origin, but a nascent Daoist aura of the birth and death of myriad laws and the re-establishment of chaos flowing around him.

The immense torrent of merging forces gradually subsided.

Zhang Yuan slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the chaotic aftershocks of energy, and once again fell upon the enormous, star-like skeleton of the Mountain-Suppressing Elephant, which was pierced and bound by countless dark gold chains.

This time, his feelings were completely different.

It is no longer the heaviness and sorrow of external observation.

The Prison Suppression Inheritance Runes, imprinted deep within the bones and blood vessels, are now resonating with an unprecedentedly strong force with the indomitable will remaining in the remains of the divine elephant!
A sense of immense power, originating from the deepest part of the primordial earth, bearing the weight of the heavens and suppressing all realms, was like an ancient giant god awakening from his slumber, and was suddenly bestowed upon him!
This feeling was as heavy as a mountain, yet it carried supreme authority and responsibility.

The power of the prison-suppressing force has now truly taken root and sprouted within him, merging with his chaotic divine and demonic body and becoming part of the foundation of his power!

He could clearly "feel" the pulse of the shattered void beneath his feet, as if he could solidify, collapse, or transform it into an endless, dark and yellow domain in the blink of an eye!
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the surging power within him. He stared at the empty sockets of the divine elephant's skeleton, eyes that seemed to hold endless entrustment, and whispered in a low voice, his voice echoing in the deathly silent sealed space:

"Senior... I will end these shackles, this theft!"

His gaze, as resolute as an ancient rock, passed over the remains of the divine elephant and fell upon the deepest part of the seal's core, where the chains of laws constructed by the Heavenly Palace's will were violently churning and attempting to repair themselves due to the successive impacts.

Deep within Shenxiang Mountain lies the core of the seal.

Space is shattered like cracked glass, and the frozen river of time seems to stand still here.

The massive, star-like dark gold skeleton of the Zhenyue Divine Elephant was pierced and bound by countless dark gold chains as thick as mountains and flowing with cold star patterns, deeply engraving into every inch of its divine bone essence.

The main sealing chain that pierced through the heart transformed into a desperate, dark golden torrent, flowing backward into the darkness of the void.

Zhang Yuan stood at the center of this desolate universe, his black Daoist robe fluttering in the turbulent currents of laws.

His aura had undergone a transformation, becoming as deep and unfathomable as an abyss, like a newly born chaotic universe collapsing.

This is his newly formed body—the "Furnace of Ten Thousand Paths"!
Faced with the main sealing chain that bound the heart of the divine elephant and exuded the supreme will of imprisonment, the chaotic divine light in Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly surged!

"All paths lead to the source, the furnace—devour!"

A low shout, like a decree that opened the heavens and the earth.

His body, a "furnace of ten thousand paths," began to operate with a roar!
His pores seemed to transform into countless miniature black holes, and an irresistible, terrifying suction force suddenly erupted, its target being the main sealing chain that pierced through the heart of the divine elephant's skeleton!

"Buzz—creak—!!!"

The dark gold chains trembled and tightened violently, emitting mournful cries of unbearable strain!
The cold star patterns flowing on it were like cold iron thrown into a furnace, and their light quickly dimmed and distorted!
The purest and most refined Heavenly Dao laws and sealing runes that constituted the origin of the chains were forcibly stripped and torn apart from the chain structure by that furnace-like body, turning into streams of visible law light, which were forcibly absorbed into Zhang Yuan's body like rivers flowing into the sea!

"boom--"

The backlash from the chains came instantly!
Billions of sealing forces, containing the will of the Heavenly Palace and capable of shattering stars and obliterating divine souls, transformed into an invisible torrent of destruction, fiercely surging back at Zhang Yuan along the devouring passage!

"Humph!"

Zhang Yuan's body trembled violently, and the dark golden chaotic divine and demonic runes on his body instantly shone brightly, bursting out with dazzling divine light!

At the same time, three magnificent and vast phantom images of divine beasts suddenly appeared in the void around him, solidified as if they were real, and exuding their own majestic aura of law.

The illusory image of the Prison-Suppressing Elephant stands with its feet on the black and yellow earth and its back against the blue sky. It is as majestic as a mountain, and its suppressing power is thick and boundless. It forcefully stops and eliminates the backlash of spatial collapse and the crushing force of gravity!
The phantom of the primordial dragon snaked and roared, with chaotic blue light flowing around it. Wind and rain followed, causing ripples in space and guiding the invisible god-slaying power that pierced the soul and eroded the will towards nothingness, disrupting its trajectory!
The phantom of the ice phoenix spread its wings, ice and fire intertwined, coldness and heat coexisting, forming an absolute barrier that freezes all laws and incinerates evil energy, freezing and incinerating the corrosive sealing evil power into nothingness!

The three divine beast law runes flowed endlessly across Zhang Yuan's body, complementing the dark gold runes of the Chaos God and Demon Body, as if he were wearing a law armor that was impervious to all laws!

That terrifying backlash, enough to instantly turn an ordinary Void Realm cultivator into ashes, was actually endured and digested by this newly formed "Myriad Dao Furnace" body!
A fierce glint flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes, and his devouring speed increased instead of decreasing!

The main sealing chain became illusory and transparent at a visible speed, and its primal power was being frantically plundered!

The time has come!

Zhang Yuan made a grasping motion with his right hand, and the newly forged "Ice Prison Flame Calamity Sword," radiating terrifying fluctuations of both ice and fire, instantly appeared in his palm.

Half of the sword's blade is adorned with Dao patterns of incinerating crimson flames, blazing and surging, capable of consuming all living beings; the other half is covered with patterns of ancient, mysterious ice, chilling and freezing eternally!
"Rest in peace, senior! Today we break free of our shackles!"

Zhang Yuan roared, pouring the immense power within him—the fusion of the origins of the three divine beasts and the mighty power of the Prison Suppressor—into the sword without reservation!

The Ice Prison Flame Tribulation Sword emitted a soul-shaking hum, and crimson and dark blue light intertwined and rose, transforming into a rainbow of ice and fire that tore through the chaos!

"Slay!!!" (End of Chapter)
