Chapter 1142 - 519: Bone of Desolation

Chapter 519

Under the aura of "wilderness," the violent energy within the bone fiends melted like snow encountering the sun, leaving only the pure bone essence.

Step one, purification, complete!

Next, is shaping.

In Xu Ran’s mind, the perfect shape of a "middle segment finger bone" emerged. Using his Dao Origin finger bone as a blueprint, and wielding the Divine Soul Power as a sculpting knife, he began to meticulously carve the pure bone essence.

This was an extremely meticulous and mind-consuming process.

A fraction too much and it would be bloated; a fraction too little and it would be weak. Every structure, every direction of Dao patterns, must be flawless.

Time slowly passed in focused forging.

When the first "middle segment finger bone" was successfully forged, it resonated mysteriously with Xu Ran’s "Dao Origin finger bone."

Buzz!

The two segments of finger bone automatically adhered together, perfectly joining as one. For the first time, a sense of bloodline connection, as if part of his own arm, appeared in Xu Ran’s perception.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully forging the first ’Subordinate Dao Bone,’ progress in the Bone Forging Chapter has increased!"

[Current Daoist body completeness: 2/206]

"It’s a success!"

A huge sense of achievement surged in Xu Ran’s heart. This was even more thrilling than when he proved himself the strongest in the cosmos.

Because this was the most critical step from "none" to "one!"

He was no longer a fleeting will; he possessed the second piece of "entity"!

With the experience of the first success, the subsequent process went much smoother.

The second, terminal finger bone!

The third, palm bone!

The fourth, wrist bone!

...

One bone after another took shape under the forge of his Divine Soul Fire, then perfectly assembled with the previous bones.

He was like the most devout and focused artist, creating a miracle of rebirth with death’s materials.

When the last trace of the bone fiends was exhausted, and the last arm bone was also assembled.

A complete right arm skeleton, composed of thirty-four bones and extending from fingertips to shoulders, floated quietly beneath the shadow of the dragon elephant leg bone.

This skeletal arm was entirely grayish, as if cast from eternal cold iron. There was no gap at the connections of the bones, flawlessly integrated. On every single bone, intricate wilderness Dao patterns covered it, emitting an aura of poignant nirvana and finality.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the phase goal: forging the ’Desolate Arm’!"

"’Original Dao Bone Scripture’ second layer: Bone Forging Realm, officially initiated!"

Xu Ran’s will slowly flowed into this brand-new arm bone.

An unprecedented feeling named "power" filled his perception.

With a thought.

That gray bone hand suddenly clenched all five fingers tightly!

Crack!

In the air, a clear explosion sounded, as if space itself moaned under the grip of this power.

"This power..."

Xu Ran felt the surging force in the bone arm, far exceeding the limit achievable by thirty-four ordinary bones. This is a transformation through the purification of the wilderness’s source and the forging of the ’Original Dao Bone Scripture’!

Slowly, he extended this bone hand toward a human-head-sized, unknown creature’s leg bone on the ground, gently pressing down.

No violent sound, no energy eruption.

The gray bone hand just lightly pressed.

Pop.

With a soft sound.

The leg bone, hard as refined steel, silently turned into a pile of fine white powder, as if made of tofu.

Xu Ran slowly raised his hand, looking at the five slender and strong gray finger bones, feeling the sense of power from the heart. An eternal, indestructible heroism welled up from the depths of his will.

"I am back."

He was no longer just a residual soul relying on a fragment of finger bone.

He, Xu Ran, finally in this despairing cemetery of death, had a body that could bear his overwhelming battle spirit... once more!

Though, it is just an arm.

But, this is a whole new beginning!

His "gaze" finally rested on that small pinch of "Returning Ruins Burial Soil."

He could feel his "Desolate Arm" emitting a strong desire toward this pinch of soil.

Xu Ran pondered for a moment, then made a decision.

He controlled the bone hand, carefully picked up that pinch of black burial soil.

Then, before the system’s warning sounded, decisively pressed it toward his Dao Origin finger bone!

He wants to use this heaven-defying divine object to lay an unprecedented foundation for his future Daoist body!

He wants to use this heaven-defying divine object to lay an unprecedented foundation for his future Daoist body!

Boom!

When that gray bone hand made of eternal cold iron pressed down on that pinch of black "Returning Ruins Burial Soil" onto its Dao Origin finger bone, an indescribably terrifying aura of great nirvana exploded!

It wasn’t an energy impact, nor a Divine Soul vibration, but a higher-level erosion and assimilation originating from the "concept" itself!
