Chapter 521 The Giant Hand of the Abyss!

Chapter 529

Xu Ran's voice remained calm, yet it made the Blood Demon feel as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.

"No... I wouldn't dare! It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Lord of the Dragon and Elephant, I..."

The Blood Demon's violent will had been replaced by boundless fear. It wanted to explain, it wanted to escape, but the power that imprisoned heaven and earth rendered all its struggles futile.

It's completely incomprehensible!
The opponent clearly only possessed the aura of the Bone Forging Realm, so how could he freeze time and space with a single word and forge his own divine power with a single grasp? What kind of power was that? It wasn't a law, nor a divine power, but a kind of... a higher level of "Dao" crushing!

Xu Ran did not give it another chance.

He lifted his foot, stepped forward, and took a light step.

step.

His figure disregarded spatial distance and appeared directly in front of the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon's flowing crimson crystalline body trembled violently.

Xu Ran extended his left hand, that warm and smooth hand, a piece of black jade representing "life" and "creation," and gently placed it on the Blood Demon's body.

"Your strength is not bad."

"From now on, you belong to me."

The moment he finished speaking, Xu Ran's left hand shone with a dazzling jade-colored divine light.

The Primordial Dao Bone Scripture – Devour!
"Do not--!"

The Blood Demon let out a desperate roar.

It sensed that the "blood essence" within its body, which it had cultivated diligently for thousands of years and was so proud of, was being drained away in an irresistible way, being swallowed up by that jade hand!

Its body became dull and shriveled at a visible rate.

However, Xu Ran's aura was rising steadily!
"Skeletal Origin: +5000, +6000, +7000..."

"The Primordial Dao Bone Scripture: Great Completion of the Bone Forging Realm (85%)... (95%)..."

boom!
An even more powerful aura suddenly erupted from Xu Ran's body!

Bone Forging Realm - Perfection!
In just a few breaths, a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Burning Fire Realm was drained alive and turned into a "dried-up human body"! The blood-red crystal body completely lost all its luster, turning into a pile of useless powder that drifted away in the wind.

The whole place was dead silent.

Whether it was the Purple Lightning Legion, the Rotten Hand, or the 100,000 desperate outlaws, their soul flames seemed to be going out at this moment.

If Xu Ran's clenching of the Blood-Melting Hand brought them shock and bewilderment...

So, by draining the lifeblood of an invincible Great Perfection of the Burning Fire Realm, what he brought them was fear and collapse from the deepest part of their souls!

This is the devil!

No, this is more terrifying than the devil!
He can not only deprive you of your attacks, but also... treat you yourself as "resources" for his advancement!
"thump!"

The leader of the Purple Lightning Legion, the proud Purple Fire Knight, was the first to tumble off his Nightmare Warhorse, his massive body crashing to the ground, his head bowed low.

"Purple Lightning... pays homage to the Lord of Dragon and Elephant! We... were blind and deserve to die! We beg your lord... for forgiveness!"

"The decaying hand...Greetings, my lord!"

"We... pay our respects to the Lord of Dragon and Elephant!"

The sounds of kneeling, like an avalanche, rose and fell. This time, there was no trace of arrogance or greed, only the purest reverence and submission.

In this desolate realm where only strength matters, Xu Ran used the most direct and domineering method to declare his rule to all those who came after him!
Xu Ran watched all of this calmly, his eyes as still as a deep well.

He slowly withdrew his hand, feeling the surging power within his body.

Having reached the pinnacle of the Bone Forging Realm, his bones had completely transformed into the color of black jade, becoming indestructible. On his right arm, the hundredth Returning Void Demonic Rune, after absorbing the Blood Demon's essence, finally completed its final transformation, connecting with the other ninety-nine runes to form a complete and mysterious… “Returning Void Demonic Diagram”!
This magical image caused the power of his "Great Dao Furnace" to increase more than tenfold!
"Get up."

Xu Ran's voice broke the deathly silence.

"Once you enter my Dragon Elephant Domain, you must abide by my rules."

“I have said that I would give you a grand feast, and I will not break my promise.”

His gaze swept over the 100,000 terrified fugitives below, and finally settled on the super formation that had been fully formed.

"The time has come."

"Suppress the mountain!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Zhenshan responded fervently, "Our lord's might far surpasses that of the past!"
"Issue my decree: All living beings in the Dragon Elephant Domain, take your positions and prepare to receive... baptism!"

"As ordered!"

Xu Ran's voice echoed throughout the entire Dragon Elephant Domain.

"Today, I will fully activate the 'Great Millstone of Return to the Void'!"

"Summon...the Bone Demon from the Abyss!"

"Using the abyss as fuel and heaven and earth as a furnace, refine the supreme elixir and spread it throughout this world!"

"Whether you ascend to immortality or perish depends entirely on your own destiny!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored everyone and appeared at the top of the dragon-elephant leg bone, right in the center of the jade-white platform that stretched across the sky.

He sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra.

"Great formation, activate!"

Rumble, rumble—!
At a single command, the entire Dragon Elephant Domain, this ancient graveyard that had been silent for millennia, was completely awakened!

The array bases embedded in the vast land simultaneously lit up with dazzling light. The extreme cold power of the Netherworld Cold Iron and the stellar power of the Star Demon Stone were instantly activated, transforming into two enormous energy torrents, one black and one white, which rushed madly towards the dragon-elephant leg bone in the center along the intricate array patterns! The entire world changed color, and energy surged!
A colossal, indescribable phantom of a super millstone, composed of light and array patterns, slowly emerged in the sky above the Dragon Elephant Domain and began to rotate!
The millstone has two layers. The upper layer shines with the light of brilliant stars, representing "purification" and "reincarnation". The lower layer is filled with a bone-chilling cold air, representing "suppression" and "return to nothingness".

Xu Ran, sitting at the center of the millstone, became the core of this terrifying machine!
"Roar--!"

As if sensing a deadly threat, a roar filled with endless rage and madness echoed from beneath the earth, from the Abyss of Bone Demons!
That roar directly affected the soul level, causing the soul fire of countless weaker skeletons to dissipate on the spot, turning into ashes!
boom!
The earth was torn apart from below by a terrifying force!
A massive abyss, over a hundred miles in diameter, appeared beneath the dragon-elephant's leg bone. Endless, viscous, ink-like filthy demonic energy erupted into the sky like a volcanic eruption, threatening to devour the heavens, the earth, the millstone, and all living beings!
Disaster struck!

All the out-of-town desperados were terrified out of their wits. This power was ten thousand times more terrifying than they had imagined! Not to mention the Burning Fire Realm, even those at the legendary higher realms would be as insignificant as ants before this demonic tide!
However, Xu Ran's face showed no fear whatsoever; instead, it revealed a hint of... anticipation.

"Well done!"

With a thought, the enormous millstone of reincarnation suddenly accelerated!
The upper starlight millstone and the lower Ruins millstone were spinning wildly in opposite directions!

The filthy demonic tide that surged into the sky was forcibly drawn into the gap between the upper and lower millstones by an irresistible force the moment it touched the millstone!
"Crunch... crunch..."

A tooth-grinding sound, as if it were grinding the whole world to dust, resounded through the sky.

Within that terrifying millstone, the filthy demonic energy was frantically torn apart, decomposed, and crushed! The "demonic nature" and "mad will" within it were completely obliterated by the power of the void, turning into nothingness! And the most fundamental "energy" within it was repeatedly refined, purified, and refined by the power of the stars!
chi chi chi...

Drops of pitch-black "magic liquid" were flung out from the cracks in the millstone, landing on the ground and corroding it into bottomless pits. These were the "impurities" that had been completely discarded.

Immediately afterwards, strands of pure, milky-white "primordial spiritual energy," radiating a soft, precious light, began to fall from the top of the millstone like sweet rain!

A gluttonous feast...

it has started!

A gluttonous feast...

it has started!

It was neither rain nor snow, but a sweet dew of light, a nectar of the Tao.

From the top of that enormous millstone that stretched across the sky, drifting down was the most primordial and purest energy, its demonic nature extinguished by "Return to Nothingness" and its impurities washed away by "Reincarnation." The milky-white specks of light, dreamlike and ethereal, seemed to contain within each a nascent world, brimming with vitality and possibility.

"Ah...this is...this is primordial spiritual energy!"

"No! It's even purer than primordial spiritual energy! My soul fire... my soul fire is cheering and leaping with joy!"

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

The deathly silence, which lasted only a brief moment, was then overwhelmed by a tsunami-like surge of ecstasy and excitement.

Below, the 100,000 desperate fugitives who had gathered there, whether the previously unruly Purple Lightning Legion or the sinister and eerie Rotten Hand, could no longer maintain their composure. They tilted their heads back, greedily opening their mouths, trying to swallow the falling rain of light.

A skeletal warrior, stuck at the entry level of the Bone Forging Realm for many years, was bathed in a ray of light. With a crack, his grayish-white bones began to jadeify at a visible speed, their strength increasing steadily. In just a few breaths, he broke through the bottleneck and entered the Lesser Completion stage of the Bone Forging Realm!

More skeletons, bathed in the rain of light, began a frenzied transformation.

The lowest-ranking skeletons, those whose intelligence was not even fully awakened, had their bones hardened, and the dim soul fire in their eye sockets suddenly brightened.

Those beings who were already powerful gained unimaginable benefits.

The commander of the Purple Lightning Legion, the knight at the Burning Fire Realm, stretched out his bony hand and caught a handful of light rain. The pure energy surged into his body along his arm, causing his purple soul flame to surge violently, and an unprecedented sense of clarity welled up within him. He saw it… he saw the path to the mid-stage of the Burning Fire Realm! The misty path that had troubled him for hundreds of years became clearer than ever before!
"Greetings to my lord!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he prostrated himself before the figure seated at the center of the millstone in the sky, expressing a deep-seated submission and fervor.

"Greetings to my lord!"

After personally experiencing this incredible opportunity, the 100,000 outlaws completely let go of all their worries. In their souls, only supreme awe remained for the being who created all of this.

Zhenshan stood at the edge of the sacred domain, feeling the surging power within him and witnessing the scene of everyone submitting to him. His lead-gray soul flames pulsed violently.

He knew that from this day forward, the Dragon Elephant Domain would no longer be the Geng-character Skeleton Domain, a place where everyone could bully it. A new overlord was rising on this cursed land!

However, this feast is not so easy to enjoy.
The Abyss of Bone Demons is the deepest nightmare in this world of skeletons, a forbidden land where even time itself is corrupted. It has been enraged, utterly enraged by an ant that dared to steal its power!

"Roar--!!!"

A roar a thousand times more terrifying than before erupted from the bottomless, pitch-black chasm. This time, it was no longer a simple soul-crushing attack, but a kind of… “contamination”!
buzzing-

Between heaven and earth, the murmurs of countless dead souls, the curses of ancient gods and demons, and the venomous roars of primordial beasts before their death echoed. Each fragmented and terrifying scene, like a brand, was forcibly imprinted into the core of the consciousness of every living being present!

There was a towering giant, entangled in endless black mist, his flesh and blood dissolving into withered bones, letting out an unwilling roar.

There was a celestial being clad in star-studded armor, whose divine kingdom was shattered, whose divine nature was defiled, and who degenerated into a monster that knew only slaughter.

An ancient dragon corpse, which had traversed the universe, was drenched in a black, demonic rain that fell from the sky. Its scales rotted, its soul wailed, and it finally sank into an endless abyss...

These are the remnants of all the fallen powerful beings devoured by the Bone Demon Abyss over countless ages! It transforms these marks into the most vicious weapons, aiming to destroy the will of all living beings from the very root!

"what!"

A newly awakened skeletal warrior's soulfire was instantly extinguished by a scene of gods and demons falling. The light in his eyes went out, replaced by chaos and madness. He roared, swinging his bone sword and slashing fiercely at his companions!
"My head! Get out! Get out of my head!"

Another powerful figure clutched his head, his soul flame flickering erratically, clearly enduring immense pain.

Panic began to spread like a plague.

This lavish feast instantly transformed into a most brutal trial. Those with unwavering will could hold onto their true selves and continue to transform amidst the rain of light; while those with weak wills would be exploited by demonic influences and reduced to mindless, bloodthirsty zombies!

"Concentrate! Guard your hearts! This is a test from our Lord!"

Zhenshan let out a loud shout, his will of the Burning Fire Realm resounding like a great bell, shaking all directions and attempting to awaken the creatures that had fallen into chaos.

But this is just the beginning.

The real terror is slowly rising from the depths of the abyss.

Boom!

The entire land of the Dragon Elephant Domain trembled violently. The abyss rift that had been torn open suddenly expanded to twice its original size on both sides!
one hand.

A gigantic hand, so enormous it defies description, formed from billions of bones and rotting flesh, slowly emerged from the dark abyss!
