Chapter 1147 - 521: Warning! Warning!_2

"The efficiency of ’Primeval Dao Bone Sutra’ increased by 0.1%!"

Success!

Xu Ran rejoiced in his heart, this path was correct!

His actions, like the most patient craftsman, using a chisel named ’Desolation’, slowly scraped away the grime covering the treasure.

This process was tedious and consumed a great deal of Divine Soul.

But what Xu Ran lacked the least was patience and perseverance!

He calmed his Heart Spirit, discarded all distractions, and devoted all his will to this great endeavor akin to ’water grinding’.

Chink... chink...

His fingertips, like the most precise scalpel, slowly moved across the silver matrix net. Where he passed, silvery light dimmed, dust dissolved, revealing the jade-white bone surface that had been concealed for endless ages beneath.

As the ’logical dust’ of the first region was completely cleared, Xu Ran’s fingertips finally truly touched the essence of the dragon elephant leg bone.

Rumble!

At that instant of contact, a boundless, grand, and domineering will seemed to awaken from the river of time, slumbering for billions of years, and ferociously rushed into his sea of consciousness through Xu Ran’s fingertips!

What a magnificent scene it was!

Xu Ran’s will seemed to transcend time and space, witnessing a colossal beast whose grandeur defied description.

Its head crowned the sky, its feet upon the underworld, its body larger than starry rivers. A single leg bone of it was enough to support an entire Cosmos. It breathed the birth and death of stars; its heartbeat stirred the tides of time and space!

This was the Primeval Dragon Elephant! A true existence at the Daoist Master level!

At this moment, this Primeval Dragon Elephant was roaring towards the sky. Its opponent was not any living creature, but... the heavens!

It was that endless silvery torrent composed of cold code and logic! Those chains of order descending from the void, aiming to format all ’variables’!

"Roar!!"

The Primeval Dragon Elephant let out an unyielding roar, using no Divine Techniques, simply raising its hind leg and stepping forward!

Pure power! Ultimate power! Surpassing Law, shattering concept with supreme might!

This step seemed to crush across eternity, severing time and space, forcefully breaking and dispersing that endless silvery torrent!

However, the silvery torrent was inexhaustible, as if the entire matrix world’s rules were its enemy.

Ultimately, under the relentless siege, this great creature also shed its last drop of blood, crashing down. Its flesh was annihilated, its Divine Soul banished, only leaving this Immortal skeleton which retained its indomitable battle spirit, resisting the matrix rules’ erosion.

The scene ended here.

Xu Ran’s will slowly escaped from the vast impact, yet his heart was stirred immensely.

It turned out that this Daoist Master perished due to the matrix’s siege!

It was also a ’variable’! A super ’BUG’ powerful enough to make the entire matrix world tremble!

And he was inheriting its will, fighting against the same enemy!

Buzz—

As Xu Ran’s Heart Spirit surged, he suddenly felt a sense of pure and domineering ’Power’ insight flow out from the imprint of that fragmentary will and merge into his Dao Origin fingertip bone.

"Warning! Received unknown ’Daoist Master level’ will inheritance!"

"Inheritance content too complex to fully parse!"

"Extracting core information..."

"Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for grasping the rudimentary essence of the Dao of ’Power’, gaining the innate Divine Techniques prototype: Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression!"

***Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression (Prototype):** On the Daoist Body, condense a trace of the ’Prison Suppression’ power of the Primeval Dragon Elephant, greatly enhancing the ’Shatter’ and ’Armor Break’ properties of physical attacks. In the current prototype state, can condense upon a fingertip.

Xu Ran was overjoyed!

This was simply a grand fortune!

Just by clearing a palm-sized area, he acquired such a defying Divine Techniques prototype! If he cleansed this entire leg bone, the harvest would be beyond imagination!

He willed and activated ’Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression’.

Upon his Dao Origin fingertip bone, within the chaotic gray light, there appeared a faint thread of pale jade white patterns seemingly made of solidified power!

A heavy as mountain, overwhelmingly domineering aura rose from the fingertip bone.

Xu Ran felt that if he pointed now, the power would be at least thirty percent stronger than before! Moreover, this power was purely physical, disregarding any defense against floral energy!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xu Ran was full of battle spirit, highly motivated.

No longer hesitating, he continued to engage in the ’scrubbing’ endeavor.

...

Time slowly passed through this tedious yet fruitful ’work’.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Xu Ran was like a tireless machine, exhausting his Divine Soul Power, then stopping to absorb previously obtained Soul Source from the ’chains of order’, recovering slightly, then immediately continuing.

His ’Gui Xu Nirvana Arm’, through day-by-day devouring and polishing, was becoming more powerful and substantial.

The arm’s color transitioned from chaotic gray to a profound ’mysterious gray’ as if containing cosmic Deathly Silence. On it, ’Desolation’ Dao patterns and ’Gui Xu’ divine charm intertwined increasingly tightly, subtly emanating a chilling ’termination’ aura.

His mastery over the two Divine Techniques ’Gui Xu Nirvana’ and ’Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression’ also became more adept.

"’Gui Xu Nirvana Arm’ evolution degree: 12%!"

"’Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression’ Divine Techniques proficiency increased, can condense on five fingers!"

"Host’s realm is stabilized, Bone Forging Realm foundational entry solid as a rock!"

The system’s prompt provided constant good news.

And the dragon elephant leg bone had been cleared to approximately a human height and half a meter width area.

The light of jade white flowed in that area, sacred and vast, sharply contrasting with the surrounding regions still covered by ’logical dust’, like a corner brightened upon a piece of pristine jade.

While Xu Ran reveled in the upgrade sensation, he was unaware his actions had already drawn the attention of the true ’local boss’ of this bone origin.

A hundred miles away, at the summit of a bone mountain composed of countless giant beast skulls.

The Bone Worship Raven, contracted with Xu Ran, stood there silently.

Its eyes, glowing with eerie red lights, pierced through layers of space, fixating on the working Xu Ran, the depths revealing undisguisable shock and... greed!

"Gui Xu... Desolation... these two legendary forbidden Dao, severed long ago, actually coexisted in one small skeleton creature!"

The Bone Worship Raven’s thoughts whispered in the void, with a hint of tremor unnoticed even by itself.

"I thought he could at most slightly shake the ’logical dust’ thanks to the restraints of the ’Desolation’ Dao, but unexpectedly, he’s also bearing ’Gui Xu’ power, the two coexisting, transforming ’cleansing’ into ’devouring’, ’decay’ into ’miracle’!"

Its original plan was to utilize the unique ’variable’ of Xu Ran to deplete the matrix imprint on the dragon elephant leg bone. When Xu Ran was almost exhausted, or triggered some restriction and got wiped out by matrix’s ’purifiers’, it would then sit to reap the benefits.

But now, circumstances seem to be slipping from its control.

Xu Ran’s growth rate was too fast!

Instead of being depleted, he absorbed the dual powers from the dragon elephant leg bone and matrix imprint at an incredible rate, frantically enhancing himself!

At this pace, it wouldn’t be long before the most essential origin will of the Daoist Master skeleton it coveted for countless ages was drained by this small skeleton creature!

"No... can’t wait any longer!"

The Bone Worship Raven’s eyes flashed a hint of cruelty.
