Chapter 565 Burial God Starfield
Chapter 573

Xu Ran's steps did not falter at all; he led Tu Feng and disappeared into the bizarre and chaotic ruins outside the door.

……

The Sky-Crossing Boat merged back into the void, rapidly traversing the chaotic spacetime currents towards the Burial God Starfield.

At the bow of the boat, the boatman wearing the bronze mask had long lost his previous indifference. He was now hunched over like a boiled shrimp, not daring to lift his head.

Although he did not witness everything that happened inside the Tianji Pavilion, he clearly heard Lord Tianjizi's heartfelt kneeling and the extremely respectful "Master".

The existence that could command such a grand gesture from Lord Tianjizi must possess strength and status that far exceeded the limits of his imagination.

“Senior…” Tu Feng stood behind Xu Ran, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Are we… really going to force our way into the Blood Prison Guard’s stronghold? That’s the Blood King of the Prison, one of the three great Blood Kings. It is said that he has already stepped halfway into the threshold of ‘immortality’. His physical body is extremely strong. He once tore apart a giant star beast with his bare hands. He is infamous.”

"Immortal?" Xu Ran looked at the rapidly receding shattered starry river outside the window, his eyes unwavering. "It's nothing more than stealing a trace of the universe's origin power, merely prolonging its existence. It can't be considered true 'immortality'."

Upon hearing this, Tu Feng was speechless.

Well, even the peak of the Dao Ancestor realm is only considered "not bad" by the older generation. The half-step Immortal realm, naturally, is nothing special.

He's used to it.

The spaceship was extremely fast, and with the secret route provided by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, it only took half a day to cross several star belts and arrive at a desolate and dark star field.

This is the Burial God Starfield.

Upon entering this star field, a desolate, ancient, and deathly aura immediately enveloped us.

Countless enormous wrecks floated in the void. There were broken skeletons of colossal beasts, a single rib of which was larger than a star; there were shattered ancient warships, their hulls covered with horrifying claw marks and sword wounds; and even some broken statues of gods could be seen, floating in the darkness, emitting a faint, long-lost divine radiance.

This place seems to be a battlefield from an ancient era, where too many powerful figures and gods have been buried.

"So...so terrifying resentment and death energy!" Tu Feng's face turned pale. He felt his soul being eroded by the omnipresent negative energy in this world.

Xu Ran, however, ignored this.

Any death energy or resentment that comes within three feet of his body will be directly "corrected" into the original cosmic energy by an invisible force and dissipate into nothingness.

"arrive."

The spaceship stopped in front of a huge asteroid belt.

Through the gaps in the meteorite belt, one can see an incredibly dazzling band of light stretching across the entire void in the deepest part of the star field.

The band of light was formed entirely from the purest primordial energy, radiating an immense and unparalleled life force, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding desolate environment.

That is an immortal-level star vein!

Around the star vein, rows of war fortresses forged from crimson metal stood like loyal guardians, protecting it. Countless soldiers in blood-red armor patrolled between the fortresses, forming a formidable network.

A chilling, iron-blooded aura was clearly discernible even from a great distance.

“Blood Prison Guardians…” Tu Feng murmured, his heart heavy.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Om-!"

The entire Burial God Starfield suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, thick, blood-red beams of light shot into the sky from all directions from the hidden strongholds that had been set up beforehand, forming an enormous blood-red canopy at the edge of the star field, completely sealing off the entire star field!

Above the sky, countless wronged souls roared, and countless seas of blood churned.

A viscous, almost tangible force of confinement enveloped every inch of space.

"Oh no! It's the 'Blood Prison Heaven-Searching Array'! They... they actually moved the array here!" Tu Feng exclaimed in horror.

This grand formation should be used to seal off the entire Black Sand Belt and search for traces of our predecessors, right? How did it end up here?

This is a trap!
The information from Tianji Pavilion was correct.

The mistake was that the Lord of Blood Prison predicted their actions!
He guessed that Xu Ran would come to seize the Star Pulse, so he turned the tables and set up a deadly trap here!

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

A burst of ear-piercing, maniacal laughter echoed throughout the entire star field.

In the direction of the star vein, a blood-red throne tens of thousands of feet tall slowly rose.

Seated on the throne was a burly figure clad in heavy armor, his aura as terrifying as an abyss. His mere presence caused the surrounding space to distort and groan.

The Blood King of Prisons!
His gaze, like two blood-red suns, instantly locked onto the airship where Xu Ran was located, and his voice, like a million thunderclaps, exploded:
"I have been waiting here for a long time!"

"You dare to cripple my Blood Prison God Child, you dare to covet the treasures of my Blood Prison Star Sea! No matter who you are or where you come from, today, this Burial God Starfield will be your burial ground!"

"Third Legion, heed my command!"

"Form the 'Prison Suppressing and God-Slaying Formation'!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Blood Prison Guards roared in unison.

The blood energy emanating from their bodies surged into the sky, converging into a crimson river that stretched across the starry sky and flowed into the body of the Prison-Suppressing Blood King.

The aura of the Blood King of the Prison began to surge wildly at an alarming rate!
His body rose higher and higher, and in an instant, he transformed into a towering demon god with stars above his head and the void beneath his feet!
In his hand appeared an enormous, blood-red battle axe.

The battle axe was filled with resentment, as if it had slain a true god!

"die!"

The Blood King of the Prison roared, raised his battle axe high, and slashed down fiercely at the airship where Xu Ran was!

This axe strike, simple and brutal, contains a terrifying power capable of cleaving open a vast world!
Wherever the axe blade passed, space was torn apart like paper, and countless meteorites instantly turned to dust.

The chaotic laws and shattered spacetime were forcibly pierced through by this axe, carving out an "absolute path" leading to destruction!
On the airship, the boatman with the bronze mask had already collapsed to the ground, his face ashen, under the overwhelming pressure.

Tu Feng had even stopped breathing, his mind completely blank.

Finished!

This attack has already exceeded the scope of the Dao Ancestor and is infinitely close to the legendary "immortal" strike!
Even if the Lord of Tiandao Mountain were to come in person, he would probably find it difficult to withstand them head-on!

However, facing this earth-shattering axe blow, Xu Ran's face remained expressionless.

He didn't even look at the falling giant axe.

He simply raised his head, his gaze passing through the Blood King of the Prison, through the crimson sky, and looking towards the distant Blood Prison Star Sea.

It was as if they were having a silent eye contact with something that was spying on this place.

Then, he slowly raised one hand.

Bring your index and middle fingers together to form a sword-like gesture.

Facing the blood-red giant axe that shattered the starry sky, gently, he moved forward a little.

"I said."

"I took your things."

"I've destroyed your people."

"Next time, I will personally crush your Blood Prison Star Sea."

"Now is 'the next time'."

The moment the words fell.

A sword light burst forth from his fingertips.

The sword light was neither dazzling nor sharp. It was very "quiet".

So quiet, it was as if it didn't exist.

The moment it appeared, the whole world fell silent.

The Blood King of the Prison's earth-shattering axe strike froze in mid-air.

The roars of hundreds of thousands of Blood Prison Guards froze in their throats.

The crimson array that had enveloped the entire star field ceased operation.

Time, space, energy, laws...

Everything was put on pause at this moment.

The only thing that "moved" was that quiet sword light.

Ignoring the distance and the obstacles, it calmly met the blood-red giant axe.

There was no earth-shattering collision.

There is no annihilation of energy.

In Tu Feng's already dazed gaze.

That terrifying battle axe, forged from the life's cultivation of the Blood King of Hell, the blood essence of hundreds of thousands of divine guards, and immortal divine metal, made contact with that sword light the instant...

They began to "disappear".

It was not destroyed, it was not broken down.

Rather, it was erased from the level of "existence".

Its concept, its cause and effect, its history... were all completely "corrected" to "nothingness" by that sword light.

It was as if this battle axe had never been forged.

Next came the ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic body of the Blood King of the Prison.

From the arms, to the shoulders, to the chest...

The shock and disbelief on his face were frozen in time.

His terrifying, near-immortal physique was no different from a block of tofu in the face of that quiet sword light.

Along with it, the "Prison Suppressing and God-Slaying Formation," which he and hundreds of thousands of Blood Prison Guards had painstakingly formed, also "disappeared."

And then there's the "Blood Prison Sky-Searching Array," which covers the entire star field and is said to be able to seal the heavens and the earth.

The sword flashes, unstoppable.

It traversed the Burial God Starfield, passed through the endless dark void, and crossed vast distances spanning several star belts.

Its target, from the very beginning, was not the Blood King of the Prison.

But...

Deep within the Blood Prison Star Sea lies the ancient and majestic Blood God Temple!

……

Blood Prison Star Sea, Blood God Temple.

The Lord of Blood Prison sat enthroned on the throne of white bones, coldly observing everything that was happening in the Burial God Starfield through a huge blood-red crystal.

When he saw the Blood King of the Prison, leading the Third Legion, setting up a deadly formation to trap Xu Ran, a cruel sneer appeared on his face.

No matter how strong or mysterious you are, when faced with the full force of my Blood Prison Star Sea, you will only face death!
However, when he saw Xu Ran extend that finger.

An inexplicable fear, originating from the deepest part of his blood, instantly gripped his heart!
That feeling...

It's like seeing a natural enemy!
Then, he saw the quiet sword light.

It pierced through the veil of time and space, crossed the boundaries of cause and effect, and ignored the layers upon layers of protective formations laid out by the Blood Prison Star Sea over billions of years. Those crimson barriers that could withstand the full force of a Dao Ancestor's attack, and even make a half-step Immortal hesitate, were as fragile as morning mist before that sword light.

There was no tear, no hole.

Wherever the sword light passed, the laws and runes of the great formation, the very foundation upon which it existed, were as if gently wiped away from the river of time by an invisible hand. They vanished without a sound, as if they had never existed.

The cruel, cold smile on the face of the Lord of Blood Prison froze completely.

Instead, there is a fear called “the end” that originates from the depths of the true spirit.

He wanted to hide, to escape, to unleash all his immortal weapons, and to burn his own primordial essence.

But he couldn't do it.

The instant he was locked onto by that sword light, the space-time around him, his own karma, the Great Dao he had mastered, everything was "disconnected" from him.

He became an isolated island abandoned by the world.

He could only watch helplessly as the quiet, even "gentle," sword light pierced through the dome of the Blood God Temple and struck his brow.

"puff."

A soft sound.

The Blood Prison Lord's demonic body, powerful enough to shake stars and indestructible through countless calamities, trembled violently.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no horrific carnage.

A barely perceptible white dot appeared between his eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, centered on that white dot, fine cracks, like a spider web, spread across his entire body in an instant.

That was not a crack in the physical body, but a collapse of "existence".

"Do not……"

The Lord of Blood Prison uttered a single word with difficulty, his eyes filled with endless regret and resentment.

He finally understood why Tianjizi had sent him a message, his words filled with warning and... pity.

He didn't provoke a powerful person or an enemy.

Rather, it is a "natural disaster" that walks through the world, and a "rule" itself that corrects the mistakes of all things!
His biggest mistake wasn't hunting down this person, but... letting this person "know" about his existence.

"boom!"

The Blood Prison Lord's majestic body, which had sat atop the throne and exerted its dominance for countless eras, crumbled, turning into countless specks of light that vanished without a trace.

Along with the bone throne beneath him, and the entire majestic and ancient Blood God Temple, they were all completely "erased" from this space-time by the aftershocks of that sword light.

Where it stood, only a huge, smooth, empty void remained, greedily devouring everything around it.

At this moment, the entire Blood Prison Star Sea fell into a deathly silence.

All the powerful figures in the Blood Prison Star Sea, whether they were patriarchs in seclusion or legion commanders guarding various regions, stared in horror toward the center of the holy land, feeling the "emptiness" that made them tremble from the depths of their blood.

Their ruler, the source of their faith, was the Blood Lord, a being who was both god and demon, who had ruled them for countless years…

The aura has vanished!

……

The Burial God Starfield.

Tu Feng stared blankly at everything that was happening before his eyes; his mind had completely stopped.

The world-destroying Blood King of the Prison, capable of slaying even a Dao Ancestor, along with his hundreds of thousands of elite Blood Prison Guards and the two peerless formations that sealed the heavens and locked the earth, were all reduced to ashes by that single, quiet sword light.
