Chapter 1169 - 532: Fuel! (2)

"Madman! You madman!" Famille, ignoring his injuries, maneuvered the chariot to flee back to the Celestial Kingdom’s gate.

But, it was too late!

"Come!"

Xu Ran roared, pushing the power of the Divine Furnace to its limit!

Rumble!

A golden river of energy, composed of endless Holy Light and runes of Order, was forcibly drawn out from the Celestial Kingdom’s gate!

At the same time, a black river of demonic energy, formed from the purest filth, depravity, and will of termination, was dragged out alive from the depths of the Abyss of Demon Suppression!

One gold, one black!

One divine, one demonic!

One holy, one evil!

Under Xu Ran’s will, these two horrific forces representing two extremes of the cosmos surged upwards like two raging dragons, forcefully infused into the colossal Gui Xu Reincarnation Grindstone!

Buzz——Buzz——Buzz——!

The grindstone emitted a groan of unbearable burden. Cracks began to appear along its edge, as if it might shatter at any moment.

The entire Dragon-Elephant Domain trembled violently, space distorted, laws were thrown into chaos!

"Our lord...!" Zhen Shan and others watched the apocalyptic scene, their Soul Fire flickering uncontrollably, yet they steadfastly held their positions in the array, believing that their lord was omnipotent!

"Refine... for me!"

Xu Ran sat at the center of the grindstone, enduring the terrifying energy clash that could annihilate deities in an instant. His Divine Furnace Dao Body began to crack inch by inch, with golden Divine Blood and black Demonic Qi seeping simultaneously from the fissures, a terrifying sight!

His origin was depleting at a frightening speed.

Yet the light in his eyes shone to the extreme!

The Dao Furnace, within the core of his will, spun crazily at an unprecedented speed!

He did not wish for these two forces to annihilate; instead, he sought the "balance point" between them, that one in ten million chance, to refine them... into Unity!

This was a venture never attempted before!

This was a heroic act challenging the ultimate truth of the cosmos!

Crack!

A massive crack finally appeared on the grindstone.

The golden Holy Light and black demonic energy instantly found a release, on the verge of going completely out of control!

However, at that moment, a slight smile appeared on Xu Ran’s lips.

"Found it!"

In that one in a billionth of a second, his Divine Thought captured the subtle balance between annihilation and co-existence of the two forces!

"Unite!"

As his will shifted, the Divine Furnace within him resonated perfectly with the grand grindstone of the cosmos!

Buzz——!

The originally rampaging gold and black energies within the grindstone astonishingly ceased their tumult.

Buzz——!

The originally rampaging gold and black energies within the grindstone astonishingly ceased their tumult.

It was neither the dissipation of energy nor the weakening of power, but a more terrifying, higher-level "dominion"!

Under Xu Ran’s indomitable will and the resonance of his Divine Furnace Dao Body, this small grindstone space seemed to transform into the primordial singularity of chaos before its separation into Yin and Yang. The sacred Light and fallen darkness were no longer irreconcilable foes but became the two facets of a new "Dao".

They intertwined, permeated, and transformed each other, forming a gray, slowly rotating vortex of energy.

At the center of the vortex sat Xu Ran.

His state was indescribably bizarre. On his Divine Furnace Dao Body, one half flowed with holy golden radiance, as if thousands of Deities and Buddhas chanted for him, while the other half was enveloped in deep, black Demonic Qi, as if billions of Demon Gods prostrated before him.

God and demon, holy and evil, order and chaos reached an unprecedented harmonious unity within him.

"What... what is this?! Did he... succeed?!" Before the Celestial Kingdom’s gate, the adjudicator Famille’s voice became piercingly sharp due to extreme shock.

As a being of the Divine Flame Realm, master of the law of judgment, he understood most clearly how irreconcilable order and chaos were. To refine them, or even to let them coexist briefly within the same space required an enormous cost.

Yet this heretic from the Lower Realm not only achieved it but even... "tamed" them!

This was no longer "blasphemy," no longer "defying the heavens," but the creation of a new "Dao" profound enough to overturn the established principles of the cosmos!

"Stop him! At all costs, stop him!" Behind the Celestial Kingdom’s gate, a grand will finally snapped from its shock, roaring with a tinge of panic.

It instinctively sensed that should Xu Ran complete this final refinement, what would be birthed could be a forbidden existence that even the "Celestial Kingdom" could not judge and that could potentially threaten the order of the "Celestial Kingdom" itself!

Rumble!

The Celestial Kingdom’s gate shone with immense brilliance as more Celestial Warriors surged out like a tide, no longer charging toward Xu Ran, but forming an even larger and more complex battle array in the air. Countless Order Runes flowed among them, finally converging above the Celestial Kingdom’s gate into a spear traversing the skies—the Spear of Judgment!

That spear was composed entirely of the purest laws of order, its tip locking onto Xu Ran from afar, emitting an aura that caused the spatial barriers of the entire Dragon-Elephant Domain to wail and splinter.

This was the culmination of the entire Celestial army, even part of the Celestial Kingdom’s gate’s origin power—a deathblow!

Simultaneously, from below, the Abyss of Demon Suppression rift let out an earth-shaking roar.

"Roar——!"

The sealed "Primordial Evil" felt its power being transformed in a way it could not comprehend, sensing its "property" about to be taken!

Boom!

A column of dark Demonic Qi, ten times thicker than before, broke through the layers of remaining seals, shooting out from the depths underground, not targeting the Celestial army but directly at Xu Ran in the grindstone’s center!

It intended to reclaim its power, and by extension completely devour the "insect" daring to steal its power!

In an instant, Xu Ran fell into a dire strait.

Above, the Celestial army’s "Order’s End"; below, the "Chaos Devour" of the Primordial Evil.

Two ultimate slaughter forces representing the universe’s poles pressed toward him simultaneously from opposing directions!

"Our lord!"

In the distance, Zhen Shan and the Purple Lightning Knights were filled with dread. Their Bone Blood Slaughter Grand Array was utterly insignificant, like dust before these forces. They couldn’t even get close, forced to watch helplessly as the apocalyptic scene unfolded.

Yet, Xu Ran, in the storm’s center, slowly opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes were they?

In his left eye, golden nebulae slowly swirled, reflecting the establishment of the Divine Country and the flourishing of order.

In his right eye, black abyss silently collapsed, portraying the end of all things and the silence of Gui Xu.

And within the depths of his pupils was a composure and indifference that transcended all this.

"Well met."

He softly uttered three words, not loud, yet they resonated clearly in the consciousness of every living being.

Facing the absolute death assaults from above and below, he did not look, nor did he divert a single Heart Spirit. All his will focused on that gray vortex of energy before him.

"Congeal!"

He clasped his hands together forcefully, as if pushing the birth of a world.

Boom!

Under his will, the gray vortex began to implode, compress, and condense at an incredible speed!

"’Primordial Dao Bone Sutra’: Divine Furnace Realm Minor Achievement (95%)... (98%)... (100%)!"

"Breaking through the bottleneck..."

"Divine Furnace Dao Body undergoing transformation to ’Chaos Furnace Body’..."

"Warning! Detected host enduring overload from the laws’ impact, origin depletion rate increased by 1000%!"

"Warning! Gui Xu Reincarnation Grindstone structural collapse countdown: ten, nine, eight..."

In his mind, the system’s alerts rang like a storm, but he ignored them.

In his eyes, there was only the "Dao" that was about to take form!

Crack! Crack!

His Daoist Body, hosting both god and demon, could no longer withstand the final pressure and began to crumble inch by inch, with countless streams of golden Divine Blood and black Demonic Qi bursting forth, only to be instantly absorbed by the collapsing singularity as its final fuel.
