The sword light fell!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a sharp, soul-tearing "sizzle" as the laws were forcibly severed by the most extreme force!
The main sealing chain that pierced through the heart of the divine elephant's skeleton and had been entangled for countless ages was severed like rotten wood and a decaying rope by the sword blade, which was interwoven with ice and fire and contained the true meaning of destruction and creation.

"Awooo—!!!"

Throughout the core of the sealed space, a resounding elephant cry echoed, piercing through countless ages, filled with endless sorrow and pain, yet ultimately leading to liberation!

The sound did not come from the outside world, but rather burst forth directly from the deepest part of the divine elephant's skeleton, from every bone that had been bound by chains for millions of years!

At the location of the skeleton's heart, the enormous core that had been pierced by chains and had long since dimmed and fallen silent suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant golden light!
A massive phantom image of the Prison-Suppressing Divine Elephant, formed from the purest and most indomitable will and the last remaining essence, broke free from its last restraints, raised its head to the sky, and let out a roar of freedom!

Its huge, gentle gaze, filled with endless weariness and relief, instantly locked onto Zhang Yuan.

"Junior, thank you for breaking free of your shackles. My body, my very essence, have been given to you. Protect... the wasteland... regain control of the prison, and break... the Heavenly Palace!"

The remnant soul's will resonated like a great bell, echoing directly deep within Zhang Yuan's soul.

Without hesitation, the enormous golden soul shadow collapsed with a roar, transforming into a dark golden stream of light that had been condensed to its extreme and was heavy enough to crush a galaxy.

The light and shadow, carrying the final essence of the divine elephant and the complete understanding of the "Suppressing Prison" gravity law, were suddenly injected into Zhang Yuan's body!

"BOOM—!!!"

Zhang Yuan felt an unimaginable, heavy force pressing down on him, as if the weight of the entire primordial land was pressing on his shoulders, yet it instantly merged perfectly with his "Ten Thousand Paths Furnace" body!
He raised his hand and pressed down, causing the void in front of him to collapse silently, forming an absolute gravity dead zone—

The laws of gravity, controlled with a single thought!
At the same time, the entire Shenxiang Mountain beneath our feet groaned under the unbearable weight, with huge cracks spreading wildly from the inside of the mountain like a spider web, rocks collapsing, and dust storms swirling up!

This colossal mountain, which has suppressed the divine elephant for countless ages, is beginning its final collapse!

"Insolent ants! How dare you disrupt my Heavenly Venerable's magic formation!"

Just as Shenxiang Mountain collapsed, at the core of the sealed space, from the source of the continuously outputting torrent of dark gold energy, came a furious rebuke that transcended the boundaries of time and space and was so cold it froze the soul!

An indescribably majestic and awe-inspiring figure emerged from the torrent!

It was draped in a star-patterned Taoist robe that exuded a chaotic aura. Its face was blurred, yet it radiated an unparalleled will that ruled over all heavens and whose words became law!

It was the ultimate spirit of this peerless sealing formation that manifested the illusory image of a Heavenly Venerable at this moment!

Its gaze swept over Zhang Yuan as if he were an ant trying to shake a tree, cold and ruthless: "Incite the beasts! Crush this scoundrel!"

The illusory figure of the Celestial Venerable raised his hand and pointed, and invisible ripples of law instantly spread throughout the entire sealed space!

"Roar!"

"Wow!"

"hold head high--!"

Surrounding the remains of the divine elephant, the remains or bodies of other powerful divine beasts, such as the Lava Giant Turtle, the Six-Winged Thunder Roc, and the Mountain-Shaking Ancient Ape, which were also bound by chains, in eternal slumber, or enslaved, suddenly blazed with a violent and chaotic crimson light in their eye sockets, forcibly ignited by the Heavenly Palace imprint!
Terrifying malevolent energy, scorching lava, lightning that tears through the void, immense power capable of shattering stars…

All sorts of violent forces, enough to destroy a star field, were forcibly activated and ignited by the array spirit. Like an out-of-control primordial tide, they ignored spatial distance and frantically crushed and strangled Zhang Yuan, who was fusing with the origin of the divine elephant and mastering the law of gravity!

--------------

Nine Shepherds Wilderness, the core battlefield.

The sky shattered, and the earth wailed.

Three hundred cold, guarding light chains, along with the boiling golden and dark gold battle intent of the millions of races in the wasteland after awakening their bloodlines, collided and entangled fiercely like two roaring ancient dragons!
Fragments of the laws exploded like fireworks, and the trajectory of the Great Dao was forcibly twisted and torn apart!
"Until the Fire Commander emerges from the mountain, we will not retreat a single step!" The voice of Pan Yue, the Abbot of Pan Shi Temple, boomed like thunder, echoing across the chaotic battlefield. He led the charge, his massive black rock shield plunging deep into the earth! "Form—the Pan Yue Great Formation!"

"Form ranks! Not a step back!" The three million-strong garrison roared in unison, their voices converging to form a torrent of will that shook the heavens and the earth!

Not an attack, but a defense! Provoke!

"Boom—!"

The earth veins and spiritual pivots guarding the core of the hundred-strong army were violently activated and shaken by the baleful aura of the army formation under the deliberate guidance of the abbots!
The vast and chaotic power of the earth veins, mixed with the iron-blooded military spirit, transformed into twisted, earth-yellow dragons that violently charged towards the "Prison Suppression Power" tidal wave that erupted from the wasteland tribes and also resonated with the Divine Elephant Mountain!
Heaven and earth lose color!

Two vast forces, vastly different in nature yet equally violent and incomparably powerful, collided violently in the sky above the core of the wasteland, like two out-of-control ancient stars!
"boom--!!!!"

An indescribable roar ripped open the eardrums of all living beings!

At the center of the collision, space completely collapsed and annihilated, forming a chaotic energy storm vortex that devoured light and distorted divine consciousness!

The raging torrent of laws was like billions of invisible blades, frantically slicing through everything within its range!
The 30,000 elite vanguard troops of the Patrol Division, who had just torn through space and attempted to descend to the center of the battlefield to investigate the upheaval at Shenxiang Mountain, seemed to have crashed into an invisible, spiked wall of chaos!

"puff--!"

The leading Heavenly Palace Venerables were struck as if by a heavy hammer. Their protective divine light dimmed instantly, their faces turned pale, and they spat out a mouthful of pale golden divine blood containing fragments of the Great Dao Laws!

The divine sense they released, powerful enough to pierce through the primordial world, was pulverized by the violent and distorted currents of law as soon as it touched the edge of the chaotic storm, leaving only a chilling silence and chaos!
"You bastards! Pan Yue! What do you intend to do?! Quickly clear the way and suppress the anomaly at Shenxiang Mountain!" A Venerable One, radiant with starlight, shouted angrily from the edge of the storm.

Pan Yue, the master of Pan Shi Temple, stood on the edge of the chaotic storm of laws. The runes on his Xuan Yan heavy armor were flashing. His voice was like a booming bell: "Reporting to the Supreme One! The Fire Commander has given an order. Without the Commander's order, we, the three million garrison commanders, will not retreat a single step!"

"It is our duty to defend the wasteland! This is a military order, and we cannot obey!"

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light; his intention was not to protect the defensive line, but to block the path of the Heavenly Palace reinforcements to Shenxiang Mountain.

"Yes! We will not retreat a single step until Commander Huo gives the order!" "We obey Commander's orders!"

The divine thoughts or roars of other masters echoed throughout the chaotic battlefield, utterly "firm."

"Roar! You lackeys of the Heavenly Palace, don't even think about setting foot in the Holy Land of the Wilderness!" On the other side, the roar of the Bull King Lieqiong resounded.

The tangible "Sky-Splitting Horn" phantom above his head now radiated an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light!
The destructive power of the third level of the Ruins of Return, mixed with the awakened divine might of the Prison Suppressor, condensed at a single point on the tip of the horn!
"Break!" With unwavering determination, Lieqiong's massive body slammed into the core of the Heavenly Palace army formation, which was trying to bypass the battle formation and head straight for Shenxiang Mountain!
"Buzz—Sizzle!"

The Sky-Splitting Horn ignored the layers of protective starlight and law barriers, and like a red-hot iron piercing into butter, it instantly pierced through the protective divine light of the Venerable who was trying to intercept it!

"puff--!"

The majestic Heavenly Palace Venerable's body trembled violently, his face drained of color, and he spat out a mouthful of essence blood containing the origin of stars. The light of his protective magic treasure dimmed by half in an instant, and he was sent flying backward by the overwhelming force, his breath weakening!
"Hahaha! That's exhilarating! The laws of the wasteland are in chaos, and divine power is hard to control!" On the other side, the Earth Fire Lizard Elder chuckled, seemingly "frantically" controlling a raging river of lava fire.

The river of fire, like an out-of-control raging dragon, charged left and right, and "inadvertently" swept fiercely across an elite battle formation on the flank of the Heavenly Palace reinforcements!
"what--!"

Amidst screams, dozens of Heavenly Palace warriors were instantly incinerated into wisps of smoke, and the battle formation was shattered by the lava.

The Earth Fire Lizard Elder patted his lava scales and cried out "apologies" to the lizard general, whose face was ashen: "Oh dear! Your Excellency, please forgive me! The laws of this wasteland are chaotic, and I am old and weak. I simply cannot control this raging torrent of earth fire! It was not intentional, not intentional! Hahahaha!"

The laughter was full of playfulness and unbridled joy.

Shen Yue Wang stood like a mountain in the center of the battlefield, sensing the increasingly clear aura of collapse and revival emanating from Shenxiang Mountain, his eyes filled with unprecedented determination and power.

He pressed his hands lightly against the ground, his deep roar like the pulse of the earth:
"Suppress the Prison - Eight Desolations!"

"Boom!"

Centered on him, the void within a radius of a thousand miles collapsed and cracked suddenly, like a glass mirror struck by an invisible giant hammer!
The terrifying gravitational distortion formed an invisible swamp, trapping the three Heavenly Palace Venerables who were trying to break through the blockade and rush towards Mount Shenxiang!
Despite their divine light bursting forth and the laws roaring, they were like mosquitoes trapped in amber, unable to move an inch!

The wilderness and the celestial palace are clearly separated yet "work together seamlessly".

Three million soldiers "fought to the death" to uphold their military orders, while a million civilians in the desolate land "fought to the death" to resist the enemy.

The forces of both sides clashed fiercely, and the laws of nature twisted wildly, together creating a chaotic barrier outside Shenxiang Mountain that isolated the inside from the outside and disrupted the secrets of heaven.

The gazes from the heavens above were completely blocked.

At the core of Shenxiang Mountain, the shattered sealed space transformed into a chaotic vortex where laws annihilated!
The ferocious attacks of countless divine beast remains—the lava giant turtle's flames that incinerated stars, the six-winged thunder roc's lightning that tore through the void, the mountain-shaking ancient ape's heavy punch that shattered star cores...

Carrying a destructive will twisted by the mark of the Heavenly Palace, it was like a doomsday torrent that instantly swallowed up Zhang Yuan's tiny figure!

The illusory image of the Celestial Venerable, formed from the spirit of the array, stood at the source of the energy torrent, its cold eyes filled with nothing but indifference as if crushing ants.

However, right beneath that destructive core—enough to instantly annihilate even a Venerable's third realm of Return to Nothingness—

"The Myriad Paths Furnace, open!"

A Daoist voice, seemingly echoing since the beginning of chaos, pierced through the violent energy roar!
Endless light!

Endless darkness!

An endless torrent of chaos, intertwined with destruction and creation, erupted with a deafening roar!
Zhang Yuan's figure disappeared, replaced by a newly born, collapsing cosmic singularity!

A supreme furnace that devours all paths and melts down all the heavens!

The annihilating chill of the Ice Crystal Phoenix touched the furnace wall and was instantly decomposed and purified, transforming into a chaotic nectar that nourishes all things!

The primordial dragon's god-slaying gale was swept into the vortex, instantly stripped of its ferocity, and transformed into a gentle, primordial breeze!
The Lava Giant Turtle's fiery torrents struck the furnace, but instead of burning it, they forcibly extracted the raging fire energy, leaving behind the purest source of earth fire!
Thunder, immense strength, deadly poison...

All the violent attacks, falling into this furnace of ten thousand paths, were like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, forcibly decomposed, transformed, and absorbed by the profound and boundless power of chaos!
On the furnace body, the dark gold runes of the Prison-Suppressing Divine Elephant, the chaotic blue patterns of the Primordial Azure Dragon, and the icy flame Dao traces of the Ice Phoenix shone brightly, resonating with the origin of the Chaotic God and Demon Body, forming the most solid skeleton of this furnace!
"broken!"

A low, commanding shout came from the furnace!
An invisible shockwave spread out from the furnace!

"Snap! Snap! Snap—!"

The dark gold chains binding the remains of countless divine beasts shattered inch by inch, like glass being struck by a giant hammer!

The divine beast imprints that were forcibly ignited, twisted, and rampaged were rapidly melted and purified under the chaotic Dao rhythm emanating from the furnace, which contained the order of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao. They were like snowflakes under the scorching sun, emitting a piercing "sizzling" sound!
The unparalleled array that sealed the core and extracted the essence was crumbling, its foundation shaken, and it began to emit a mournful cry of imminent collapse! Spatial fragments, like collapsing icebergs, accelerated their fall and annihilation!
The time has come!

"The Great Qin Heavenly Dao, forging the Dao in the Primordial World!"

The Chaos Furnace suddenly contracted, and Zhang Yuan's figure reappeared, enveloped in a layer of dense, heavy bronze divine light that seemed to come from the beginning of time!
The light was not dazzling, but it carried an unquestionable, ancient will that governed order, instantly covering the entire core of the collapsing seal!

He formed an ancient and majestic hand seal with his hands, as if he were questioning the heavens and issuing commands to all paths!
"Om-!"

The will of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao is no longer a hidden undercurrent, but for the first time so grandly and righteously descending upon the primordial world, yet silently and subtly!

The bronze divine light fell precisely on each of the divine beast remains that had broken free of their chains but were now just remains or remnants of their souls.

On the shattered shell of the lava giant tortoise, the flowing magma was covered by bronze divine light, instantly solidified and reshaped, transforming into a brand new divine armor with flowing dark red runes and bronze Dao patterns inlaid on the edges!
The broken bone wings of the six-winged thunder roc sprouted feathers containing orderly thunder within the bronze divine light, each feather pulsating with cyan-gold lightning!

The withered muscles of the Shaking Mountain Ape bulged wildly, revitalized by the divine light of bronze. Profound traces of the bronze power appeared on its ancient granite-textured skin!
Ice Crystal Phoenix, Primordial Azure Dragon...

All the remaining remains or weakened souls underwent a tremendous transformation under the illumination and baptism of that bronze divine light!
Their origins have not changed, but the "Tao" that constitutes their existence is being quietly replaced and strengthened.

Transforming from fragments of the Primordial Heavenly Dao into a "New Primordial Body" containing the order of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao!
The broken divine body was rebuilt, and the dim divine soul was rekindled with a new flame of life!
A vitality unlike any before, bearing the imprint of a new order, is violently resurfacing amidst the ruins of Shenxiang Mountain! (End of Chapter)
