Chapter 1167 - 531: Divine Furnace Domain (2)

"The ’Primordial Dao Bone Sutra’: Divine Furnace Realm, Minor Achievement (10%)... (20%)... (35%)!"

In just a moment, his realm was thoroughly solidified, even making further progress!

Crack!

Finally, the golden giant hand that covered the sky, after being devoured by ninety-nine percent of the energy, could no longer maintain its form, shattering inch by inch, transforming into fragments of light that dispersed into the sky.

Yet, this was not the end.

"Condense!" Xu Ran shouted lowly, and the divine furnace shook violently.

Those judgment law sources that he refined and purified but had not yet absorbed, under the control of his will, were forcibly "spat" out from the divine furnace!

Buzz!

A fist-sized, entirely Liuli gold-colored, rhombus-shaped crystal hovered in Xu Ran’s palm.

Inside this crystal, it seemed as if a microcosmic Judgment Celestial Kingdom was sealed, countless chains of order roaming within, emitting a majesty that made the soul tremble.

This was the crystallization of the "Judgment Law!"

It was the core source of that golden giant hand!

Xu Ran held the Law Crystal as if holding a star. He lifted his head, his gaze penetrating the endless space, seemingly staring at the presence behind the crack, a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

He flicked his finger.

Whish!

That Law Crystal, enough to drive any Burning Fire Realm expert insane, was casually flicked downward by him as if disposing of trash.

"Zhen Shan, I grant you this object, to aid you in exploring the secrets of divine fire."

Zhen Shan, still immersed in the miraculous confrontation just now, shuddered, his lead-gray soul fire jumping fiercely. He subconsciously reached out with his bone hand, the golden crystal landing accurately in his palm.

Boom!

An immense torrent of law information surged instantly into his consciousness. He seemed to see countless gods seated on clouds, holding a code of laws, judging all beings. This power surprisingly had a coincidental resemblance to his own heavy and firm "Suppression" Dao!

"Thank you... Thank you, my lord!" Zhen Shan’s voice trembled, knowing that this crystal paved the way to the next great realm for him!

This scene utterly shattered the pride of the Celestial Kingdom’s will.

This was not just defeat but humiliation!

Refining its judgment power and then casually rewarding it to a humble skeleton!

"You... are... courting... death!"

Each word spoken slowly, like the friction of eternal profound ice, each word making the space of the Dragon Elephant Domain violently distort. The crack above the sky expanded tenfold!

Rumble!

Not just a hand, but a... Celestial Gate constructed of Holy Light and order runes!

A magnificent, imposing golden Celestial Gate slowly squeezed from the crack, seemingly suppressing all realms and worlds. The gate’s surface was carved with countless depictions of gods and demons being executed and myriad spirits worshiping, an overwhelming pressure, a hundred times stronger than before, descended all at once!

"The gate of the Celestial Kingdom has opened, sin shall be judged!"

"The divine legion, march!"

Following the command of the grand will, the golden Celestial Gate slowly opened.

Step! Step! Step!

The uniform footsteps seemed to tread upon the hearts of all beings.

Squad after squad of Celestial Warriors in golden armor, holding Holy Light spears, with radiant wings, marched from the gate. Their faces were stern, eyes devoid of any emotion, only absolute adherence to "order."

Each Celestial Warrior’s aura was not weaker than the Major Achievements of Bone Forging Realm!

Leading them were twelve even more terrifying Blazing Angels, whose powers had reached the Burning Fire Realm!

And that’s not all!

At the rear of the legion, a golden chariot drawn by eight heavenly horses crushed through the void, slowly emerging.

On the chariot sat a figure.

He wore a silver judge’s robe, his face handsome to the point of enticement, holding a heavy silver tome. His aura was deep as the sea, distinctly different from the surrounding Celestial Warriors, possessing an independent and proud will.

His realm had already surpassed Burning Fire, igniting his own "Order Divine Fire!"

Divine Fire Realm!

"I am the seventh judge of the Celestial Kingdom, in charge of adjudicating the myriad worlds under the Geng symbol, Effemiler."

Looking down at Xu Ran, his voice elegant yet cold, "Heretic from the Lower Realm, you disturbed the seal of the ’Abyss of Demon Suppression,’ desecrated the majesty of the Celestial Kingdom, your crime enough to have you burned by the Holy Fire for ten thousand epochs."

"Now, kneel, surrender the power source you have stolen, offer your soul, and I may mercifully only judge your physical body."

His words were not a negotiation, but a decree, as if every word from him was an inviolable "law."

Below, the ten thousand wretched souls, under the pressure of this Divine Fire Realm, their soul fires almost extinguished, unable to control their bodies from wanting to kneel.

Even Zhen Shan and the Purple Lightning Knight felt the enormous repression stemming from the level of life.

Yet Xu Ran laughed.

"Judge? The worlds of the Geng symbol?" He sharply caught key information, "So there are thousands of worlds like the Dragon Elephant Domain? And you are the guardians of this vast ’prison’?"

Judge Effemiler frowned slightly; he did not like the metaphor of "prison."

"Rather the guardians of order," he corrected, "Beneath the Abyss of Demon Suppression lies the ’Primordial Evil’ capable of corrupting all heavens. We, under the Supreme God’s command, guard this place for the welfare of all beings in myriad worlds. Whereas you, an ignorant thief, are shaking the eternal foundation."

"Nicely spoken." Xu Ran shook his head, eyes revealing a trace of indifference seeing through everything, "Guardianship? Welfare? Merely domestication. Treating this place as your ’mine,’ treating all beings as your ’livestock.’ When the ’mine’ has problems, and the ’livestock’ attempts rebellion, you raise the slaughter blade, grandly calling it ’judgment.’

He paused, scanning the neat celestial legion, then glanced at the restless abyss ravine below, stating word by word: "In my view, you are no different from this abyss."

"One, the chaotic evil that devours everything."

"One, the hypocritical order that imprisons everything."

"And I..." Xu Ran extended his right hand marked with the "Returning Ruins Demon Map," slowly closing his fingers, "...am the variable that ends it all!"

"Arrogant!"

Effemiler’s eyes surged with divine light, the golden chariot below him roared, and the divine fire realm’s pressure pressed unreservedly onto Xu Ran!

"Stubborn sinner, since you reject mercy, experience the wrath of the Celestial Kingdom in despair!"

He opened the silver tome in his hand.

"God says, sin shall be bound!"

Swoosh!

From the tome flew countless order runes, weaving into enormous golden chains in the air, these chains ignoring space, instantly appearing around Xu Ran, sealing all his escape routes, wrapping tightly!

This was an attack of "Law!" A Divine Fire Realm expert already able to preliminarily command the power of Heaven and Earth Laws, speaking and thus creating!

Facing such an attack, Xu Ran did not dodge or evade.

"Bind?" He murmured, the divine furnace within him let out a deep roar, like an ancient beast awakening, opening its eyes.

"In my furnace, all laws are illusions!"

Buzz!

An invisible "furnace domain," centered on Xu Ran, suddenly spread out!

Within the domain, all tangible and intangible matter and energy began to become "unstable," seemingly ready to disassemble, reverting to their sources.

The law chains wrapping toward him, upon entering the domain, their golden light began to flicker violently, and the order runes forming the chains started disintegrating and dissipating one by one!

"What... what kind of domain is this?!" Effemiler’s pupils contracted sharply.

He had never seen such a domineering domain! This was not a restraint of attributes but a higher-level... conceptual crushing!

It seemed as if Xu Ran’s existence itself was the endpoint of all "order" and "law!"

"Interesting indeed." Xu Ran felt the power of the divine furnace domain within him, quite satisfied. This was his innate ability awakened after breaking through the Divine Furnace Realm.

"Unfortunately, still insufficient."
