Chapter 1158 - 527: Risk and Reward

Chapter 527

Xu Ran calmly watched all this.

He knew that from this moment on, he truly had the "Geng Seventy-Three Domain of Bones" under his control.

"Rise," he said lightly, "From today, you are no longer ’the Tyrant.’ I bestow the name ’Zhen Shan.’ Guard the mountains and rivers for my Dragon Elephant Domain."

"Thank you, my lord, for the name!" Zhen Shan roared as he stood up, respectfully retreating to the side, the aura of the Burning Fire Realm emanating from him, becoming the most direct manifestation of Xu Ran’s authority.

Xu Ran’s gaze swept over the endless army of bones below.

"I know what you fear."

"You are afraid of the outbreak of the ’Abyss of Bone Demons,’ afraid of becoming the next sacrificial offering."

His voice carried a calming power.

"The era of the old king is over. Sacrifice is the most foolish and cowardly method."

"Here, there is only one law—"

Xu Ran’s voice suddenly heightened, like a thunderclap echoing between heaven and earth.

"Disaster is also an opportunity!"

"Within the Abyss of Bone Demons lies the filthy power that even the old king found despairing. But from another perspective, isn’t it also an ocean of supreme energy sufficient to transform us all?"

All the soul fires of the bones suddenly contracted.

This new king... What is he planning? His ideas are even crazier than the old king’s!

"I will use this ’Bone That Holds the World’ as the core of the array, with my Dragon Elephant Domain’s mountains and rivers as the base, to set up an unprecedented ’Gui Xu Reincarnation Grand Millstone’!"

"I don’t want to block the abyss; I want to... bring it forth!"

"Bring... bring it forth?!" Bai Gu Ya was so scared that he nearly fell from the sky.

"Exactly!" Xu Ran’s voice was filled with undeniable dominance, "The day the grand array operates will be the day the abyss erupts! I will personally sit at the array hub, activate the grand millstone, crush, refine, and purify the endless filthy demonic energy, transforming it into the purest source Spiritual Qi, spreading it over every inch of this Dragon Elephant Domain!"

"When that time comes, what you should do is not evade or fear, but open up your bodies, devour to your heart’s content, evolve to your heart’s content!"

"The crisis will turn into an unprecedented feast! A feast of collective ascension for all living beings of our Dragon Elephant Domain!"

Boom!

Xu Ran’s words exploded in the core of the will of all the bones like ten thousand suns simultaneously!

Mad!

This new king is absolutely mad!

But...

What if... what if he’s right?

Transform the disaster that destroys everything into nourishing rain for all?

What a grand, incredible plan!

In an instant, all the bone beings looked at Xu Ran with a gaze that transformed from frenzied worship into a faith akin to revering a deity!

They seemed to already see themselves continuously transforming and evolving under the nourishing rain of energy, ultimately igniting soul fire and reaching even higher realms!

"We swear to follow our lord to the death! Together, we shall create an immortal feast!"

Zhen Shan was the first to roar with a thunderous sound as he had just personally experienced the miracle of Enlightenment, and there was no doubt in Xu Ran’s words!

"Swear to follow our lord to the death!"

Millions of bones roared, forming a torrent of will that shook heaven and earth, completely igniting this deathly silent land of bones!

Looking at the battle intent and greed stirred below, Xu Ran’s eyes remained as calm as an ancient well.

He had laid out an irresistible "cake," but this "cake" he truly had the capability to achieve.

The ability of the "Great Tao Furnace" was to refine all things. Although the filthy power of the Abyss of Bone Demons was of a very high level, its essence still represented a form of energy and law. As long as there is the Power of Suppression from the Dragon Elephant leg bone as a foundation and his Gui Xu as the guiding principle, theoretically, it’s completely feasible.

This is not only to solve the crisis but also for himself.

Such a massive energy, if he can devour even a portion, his "Primordial Dao Bone Canon" might directly ascend to Great Success of the Bone Forging Realm, or even Perfection!

"Convey my decree!"

Xu Ran’s voice sounded again, starting to issue a series of commands.

"Zhen Shan!"

"Present!"

"Lead your troops and suppress all voices of dissent within the domain, meanwhile, exploit ’Nether Cold Iron’ and ’Star Demon Stone’ within, as many as possible!"

"As you command!"

"Bai Gu Ya!"

"Lit... little slave here!"

"You shall command all flying bones, serve as my eyes, oversee the vast territories of Dragon Elephant Domain. Also, transmit the message outward, saying... ’Geng Seventy-Three Domain of Bones’ is about to give rise to great opportunity, welcoming all desperate outlaws to come seeking refuge!"

"Ah?" Bai Gu Ya hesitated, drawing outsiders in deliberately?

Xu Ran’s soul light glanced at him, Bai Gu Ya shivered and dared not ask further, "As... as commanded!"

Xu Ran certainly has his considerations. Refining the Abyss of Bone Demons is a huge project. Relying solely on the existing bones in Dragon Elephant Domain is far from enough. He needs more "cannon fodder," more "material" to fuel the operation of the grand array.

He intends to turn the entire Geng numbered area into his hunting ground!

Commands were issued methodically from Xu Ran’s mouth.

The entire Dragon Elephant Domain, this war machine dormant for countless ages, was completely activated at this moment, and began operating at unprecedented efficiency with frenzied intensity!

Having arranged everything, Xu Ran once again immersed his Heart Spirit into the Dragon Elephant leg bone behind him.
