Chapter 515 Enslavement!

Chapter 523

"Roar!"

Hundreds of enhanced skeletal soldiers roared silently and charged once again toward Xu Ran at the center of the domain, fearless of death!
"Well done!"

Xu Ran's fighting spirit was raging.

These cannon fodder, though expendable in the eyes of the Skeleton King, are walking "skeletal origins"! They are the ladders that allow him to sustain himself through war and continuously climb the ranks!

He swayed and advanced instead of retreating, like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep.

Each swing of the "Arm of Returning to the Void" carried the aura of ending everything. Although the bones, enhanced by the soul fire, became more solid, they were still as fragile as rotten wood under the combined attack of the "Returning to the Void" divine essence and the power of "Dragon and Elephant Suppressing Prison"!
puff!puff!puff!
The dull sound of bones cracking echoed throughout the area.

Xu Ran's figure moved swiftly and decisively through the sea of ​​bones, each punch and claw strike precise and deadly. His every movement was purposeful, focused entirely on the most efficient killing and devouring.

One by one, the skeletal soldiers were pulverized into bone dust, and then instantly devoured by the combined power of the "Wasteland Domain" and the "Nirvana Arm"!

His aura surged wildly at a visible speed during this frenzied feast!
"'Arm of Nirvana' Evolution Level: 17%!"

"'Arm of Nirvana' Evolution Level: 18%!"

……

"Skeletal reserve exceeds 3000 units!"

"The efficiency of the 'Primordial Dao Bone Scripture' has increased by 1.2%!"

The soul fire in the skeletal king's eyes pulsed even more violently.

It was horrified to discover that its proud bone sea tactic had not only failed to deplete its opponent, but was instead feeding it! This tiny skeletal creature was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up and converting all the source energy that poured in into it!
"This kind of 'Dao'... is too oppressive to us skeletal beings! This child must not be allowed to live!"

For the first time, a deep sense of dread arose in the heart of the skeletal king.

It no longer regarded Xu Ran as an insect that could be crushed at will, but as a major threat that was of equal or even greater importance to itself!

Just then, the two-winged demonic ape, which had been observing from the sidelines outside the battlefield, made its move!
It seized a perfect opportunity!

Xu Ran was deeply entangled in the siege of the sea of ​​bones, and all his attention was focused on the slaughter on the front line and the confrontation with the Skeleton King.

This is the perfect opportunity to betray someone!
"Roar!"

A ferocious ape cry ripped through the sky!
The 50-meter-tall Twin-Winged Demon Ape slammed its fist into the ground, causing the earth to crack. Its pale white bone wings unfurled with a roar, whipping up a gust of wind and propelling it to its absolute maximum speed!
It was like a white meteorite, streaking across the sky, launching a thunderous surprise attack from Xu Ran's side and rear!

As it flew at high speed, its arms ignited with a ghostly blue soul fire. This was not a gift from the Skeleton King, but a mutated soul fire that it had cultivated through its own arduous training, filled with an aura of rage and destruction!
"die!"

The two-winged demon ape's mind was filled with cruelty and greed.

It seemed as if it could already see its own iron fists, infused with all its power, blasting that strange little thing, along with its magical arm, into dust!
However, just as its fist was about to touch Xu Ran...

The figure that had been facing away from it suddenly stopped.

A pair of empty eye sockets, as if piercing through the barriers of time and space, met its gaze with its pupils burning with soul fire.

There was no panic, no surprise in those eyes, only an icy, mocking look!
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Ran's icy thoughts exploded in the consciousness of the two-winged demonic ape!
Oh no! It's a trap!

The two-winged demonic ape was shaken to its core by a deadly sense of crisis that caused all the soul fire in its body to freeze.

But it was too late!

From the very beginning, Xu Ran never took those skeletons and cannon fodder seriously. His true target, from start to finish, was this two-winged demonic ape that had reached the peak of the Bone Forging Realm and possessed a mutated soul flame!
He deliberately created an opening to lure the venomous snake lurking nearby into making its move!

"Dragon Elephant Suppresses Prison... Five Finger Mountain!"

Xu Ran neither dodged nor retreated. At that critical moment, he suddenly turned around, raised his "Return to the Void and Annihilation Arm", spread his five fingers, and met the two-winged demon ape's fist, which was as big as a casserole!
Om-!
The jade-white light on his five finger bones was dazzling to the extreme!
A blurry, ancient dragon-elephant phantom, seemingly capable of suppressing the deepest hell, flashed and disappeared behind his palm!
That was no longer just "force," but a kind of "momentum"! A supreme momentum that suppressed all ages and destroyed everything!

This is Xu Ran's new understanding of the "Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison" supernatural power as he continuously "cleansed" the dragon and elephant leg bones!

boom! ! !
Two disproportionate fists, one large and one small, collided fiercely in mid-air!
There was no earth-shattering energy explosion as imagined.

There was only one teeth-grinding "crack" sound, as if the core of a star had been forcibly crushed!

The two-winged demonic ape's iron fist, powerful enough to shatter mountains, was instantly annihilated by the power of "Return to Nothingness" the moment it touched Xu Ran's seemingly insignificant palm. The burning dark blue soul fire on it was as if it had met its nemesis!

Immediately afterwards, that domineering and unparalleled "Prison Suppression" power crushed the bones on its fist with overwhelming force!

Click! Click! Click!

The cracking sound, like popping beans, spread from its fist all the way to its wrist, forearm, upper arm, and even its entire shoulder blade!
"what--!"

The two-winged demon ape let out an extremely shrill scream. Its arm bones, which it was so proud of and which had been tempered by the soul fire, were shattered inch by inch by this simple and pure blow!
how can that be!

It's at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm! It's only one step away from the Blazing Fire Realm! How could it be so utterly crushed in pure strength by someone who's only just entered the Bone Forging Realm?!
It could not comprehend that power had transcended the realm of existence; it was a crushing force originating from the essence of life, from the "Tao"!

Despite the devastating blow, Xu Ran's offensive continued relentlessly, like a raging storm!
"It's my turn!"

He took a step forward, his figure moving like a ghost, close to the massive body of the two-winged demon ape, which was stiff from the intense pain.

"Return to Nothingness...Claw of Annihilation!"

His right hand transformed into the sharpest weapon, slashing viciously across the chest of the two-winged demon ape!
scoff!

The hard ribs were torn apart as easily as if they were made of paper!

Xu Ran's arm, without the slightest hesitation, reached directly into the chest cavity of the two-winged demonic ape, precisely grabbing its core where its soul fire pulsed!

"Do not--!"

The two-winged demonic ape let out a desperate roar.

It struggled frantically, and its other intact arm, with an aura of annihilation, smashed towards Xu Ran's head.

But Xu Ran paid no attention to this, his eyes were only on that pulsating mutated soul fire!

Trade injury for life!

That was his decision!
Just as the demonic ape's fist was about to strike him, Xu Ran gripped the Soulfire tightly!
"Desolation... Devour!"

boom!
The massive body of the two-winged demonic ape trembled violently, and its fist, which was about to smash into Xu Ran, came to an abrupt halt in mid-air. The soul fire burning in its eye sockets dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A torrent of pure, violently potent mutated soul fire essence, along with all the bone essence of the fully-formed Bone Forging Realm, was frantically drawn out and devoured by Xu Ran's "Return to the Void and Annihilation Arm"!
In just a few breaths.

This once invincible, leader-level skeletal behemoth turned to ashes and vanished into the world before the Skeleton King's horrified gaze.

"Successfully killed the 'Two-Winged Demon Ape'!"

"Received: 3500 units of Bone Essence!"

"Obtained: Soulfire Crystal (Mutant - Berserk) *1!"

"The 'Arm of Nirvana' greatly increases resistance to 'Soulfire' type attacks!"

"'Arm of Nirvana' Evolution Level: 25%!"

"Warning! The 'Arm of Returning to the Void' has undergone an unknown mutation after absorbing the essence of a different kind of soul fire!"

System notification sounds are flooding the screen!
A primal force, more than ten times larger than the one that had killed the Black Iron Bone Crocodile, exploded within Xu Ran's body!

His "Arm of Returning to the Void and Annihilation" underwent an astonishing change after absorbing this power, especially the "Soul Fire Crystal"!

On the originally dark gray bones, strange, almost living, ghostly blue patterns appeared! These patterns intertwined with the original "Desolate" Dao patterns and "Return to the Void" divine charm, forming an even more mysterious and powerful form!
A terrifying aura, combining the attributes of "Ending," "Devouring," and "Berserk," rose from his right arm!

Click!

Xu Ran could even hear the bones inside his arm undergoing a profound transformation and reorganization!

His power surged once again at this moment!

"cough……"

Xu Ran coughed lightly, and a faint wisp of soul light dissipated from his body.

Even after withstanding the dying counterattack of the two-winged demonic ape, he was not unscathed. Although the punch did not land squarely, the soul fire vibration contained in the fist wind still caused a slight damage to the core of his will.

But it's worth it!

Achieve the greatest results with the least cost!

At this moment, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

The skeletal soldiers, empowered by the skeletal king's decree, seemed to sense the turbulent emotions of their king and stopped in their tracks, standing there blankly.

On the throne of bones.

The Skeleton King's eyes, burning with soul fire, were fixed on Xu Ran. His gaze was no longer mocking, no longer solemn, but... filled with fear!
A fear that comes from the depths of one's soul!

Instant kill!

A powerful leader who had reached the peak of the Bone Forging Realm and was about to step into the Blazing Fire Realm was instantly killed in a head-on battle by a guy who had just entered the Bone Forging Realm!
This is no longer a battle, it's slaughter!

It finally understood that the other party's so-called "pseudo-domain" was not some unorthodox method of burning one's source at all, but a manifestation of a higher level of "Tao"! From the very beginning, the other party had everyone manipulated in the palm of their hand!

"You...what on earth are you?!"

For the first time, the skeletal king's thoughts trembled.

It has roamed this "Gengzi No. 73 Remains Domain" for hundreds of years and has never seen such a bizarre and illogical existence!

Xu Ran slowly raised his head, his empty eye sockets looking at the king on the throne of bones.

He didn't answer, but instead pointed the "Arm of Nirvana and Annihilation," which was fused with the power of mutated soul fire and shimmered with dark gray and dark blue light, at it from afar.

That means, it goes without saying.

You're next!
"Crazy! You crazy!"

The skeletal king was completely enraged by Xu Ran's aggressive gaze!

At this moment, fear transformed into boundless rage!
He is a lord of his own domain! A powerful being at the Burning Fire Realm! A being at the pinnacle of this skeletal realm! How could he be so provoked by a mere ant at the Bone Forging Realm!

"You think you can challenge me, the king, just by killing a piece of trash?!"

"I'll show you the insurmountable chasm between the Burning Fire Realm and the Bone Forging Realm!"

"Soul Domain... Descends!"

Boom——!
The skeletal king suddenly rose from its throne of bones!

The moment it stood up, the two dark blue soul flames in its eye sockets suddenly surged and transformed into two dark blue suns, soaring into the sky and merging into an even larger and deeper sphere of soul flames above its head!

A will, completely different from Xu Ran's "Desolate Domain" but equally domineering, suddenly descended!
If Xu Ran's domain is described as "barren" and "deadly".

Therefore, the realm of the Skeleton King is "death" and "enslavement"!
Click!Click!Click!
Centered on the Skeleton King, the land within a radius of a thousand meters instantly transformed into a pale white bone domain!
Countless skeletons were forcibly awakened from the depths of the earth, but they were no longer soldiers; instead, they had become part of this "Soul Realm"! Like a tide, they merged into the earth, into the space, and became the purest rules of death!
In this "Soul Realm", the Skeleton King is the only god!

"Within my soul realm, all the dead are my subjects! Your so-called 'Dao' will be assimilated and enslaved by my will to die!"

The voice of the Skeleton King seemed to transform into a divine decree, echoing in every corner of the Soul Realm.

Xu Ran's "Desolate Domain" began to shrink violently under the impact of this "Soul Domain," which was much larger and more suited to the local environment. Its range was compressed from a hundred meters to less than ten meters!

A stream of pure death will, like invisible shackles, coiled around Xu Ran from all directions, attempting to invade the core of his will and completely transform him into a walking corpse that only knew how to obey orders!

"Want to enslave me?"

Xu Ran's will is like a piece of ancient, unyielding, cold iron, indestructible.

"My path originates from the end! Death is also part of the end! By what right do you enslave me?!"

"The Ruins of Return... Open!"

Instead of retreating, Xu Ran advanced, completely detonating his "barren domain" that had been compressed to the extreme!

He stopped expanding outwards and instead gathered all the power of "Return to the Void" and "Wilderness" inwards, concentrating it within himself!

hum!
