Chapter 1146 - 521: Warning! Warning!

Chapter 521

Xu Ran felt an unprecedented sense of urgency. He didn’t know how long this "observation" mode would last, but once the contract expired, he was certain to face annihilation of overwhelming magnitude!

He wasted no time, withdrawing his Heart Spirit, and for the first time, with such formality and gravity, he looked at that structure that seemed to support this land... the dragon elephant leg bone!

This enormous bone was wholly ancient jade white, covered with natural Daoist markings, as if revealing the supreme principle of heaven and earth. An expansive, ancient, peerlessly domineering will was concealed within it, like a dormant volcano.

In Xu Ran’s current Perception, he could clearly "see" a layer of thin "dust" on the surface of the colossal bone, reminiscent of rust.

This dust was what the Bone Crow referred to as "logic dust," the imprint left by the matrix world’s Power of Rules on this Immortal skeleton over countless aeons. It polluted the purity of the bone and suppressed the vitality of the Daoist Master’s will within it.

His task was to use his "Wasteland" and "Power of Ruins" to "wipe" away this "rust" bit by bit!

This was both an immense crisis and a supreme fortune!

Each wipe was a close encounter with the Daoist Master’s will, an insight into the world’s original laws!

"Let’s begin!"

Xu Ran took a deep breath, calming his excited Heart Spirit.

He controlled his "Nirvana Arm of Ruins," slowly, with a touch of pilgrimage-like devotion, reaching out towards the towering pillar.

The distance between his fingertip and the bone surface constantly shortened.

Ten zhang, one zhang, one chi, one cun...

Just as Xu Ran’s Chaos-gray Dao Origin finger bone was about to touch the dragon elephant leg bone, he clearly "saw" the thin "logic dust" attached to the surface of the bone come to life!

Buzz——

Countless silver light spots, finer than dust, were startled awake, rapidly flowing on the bone surface, instantly weaving into a "Heaven and Earth Net" that covered the entire region, flashing cold code.

A Power of Rules descended majestically, sharing its origin with the "Chain of Order," but older, heftier, and more unshakeable!

"Warning! Detected high-density ’Contaminated Area of Matrix Law’! All ’variable’ actions in this area will be suppressed! Host ’Wasteland’ Dao Principles activity expected to decrease by 70%!"

The system alert sounded again, but Xu Ran’s movement did not halt for a moment.

There was no retreat in his eyes, only unwavering resolve!

Since this "Tomb Guardian" identity was the only protection, then today, he was determined to clean off that dragon elephant leg bone!

Hiss!

Finally, his fingertip touched the silver net formed by "logic dust."

No earth-shattering roars, only a sound akin to the grating of metal scraping against Liuli, echoing madly on the Divine Soul level!

Xu Ran’s "Nirvana Arm of Ruins," upon contact with the net, saw its flowing Chaos-gray brilliance dimmed. That indomitable Gui Xu charm seemed trapped in a mire entirely composed of pure rules, each step forward subject to enormous pressure from the world’s order!

The "order" power within the "logic dust" began to reverse violently, attempting to parse, deconstruct, and format the "Nirvana Arm of Ruins" that shouldn’t exist in this world, aiming to restore it to mere bone dust!

Crack! Crack!

Xu Ran’s arm bone groaned under the unbearable strain, and the joints, freshly repaired by the order law’s Source Essence, showed signs of minor loosening once more.

"Want to suppress me? My path was born from termination and Nirvana, transcending all order!"

Xu Ran’s will was like iron, his heart roaring.

He did not choose to resist head-on but rather shifted his strategy with a thought.

"Ruins signify termination. Wasteland signifies devouring! You won’t let me in, then I’ll... eat you!"

Buzz!

The divine aura on the "Nirvana Arm of Ruins," suddenly shifted. The power of ruins representing "termination" and "Nirvana" was no longer a sharp blade but transformed into an invisible mouth. The "Wasteland" Dao markings on the arm were driven to their extreme!

If the "logic dust" was a solid layer of rust, Xu Ran’s "Wasteland" Dao at this moment was the most domineering aqua regia!

Hiss hiss hiss——

Pure "Wasteland" Source Essence covered that silver net along his fingertip.

The previously indestructible net, on contact with this force, seemed to meet its destined nemesis. The silver code runes forming the net began to flicker intensely and distort, then were forcibly erased, devoured, and decomposed from the concept of "existence" one by one by the wasteland power!

Strands of information stream, finer than hair and extraordinarily pure, were forcibly extracted by Xu Ran from the "logic dust," then surged into his Dao Origin finger bone along his arm.

"Successfully devoured ’logic dust’ (trace)!"

"Acquired: Law Fragment (order) *0.01!"

"’Nirvana Arm of Ruins’ resistance to ’order’ laws slightly improved!"
