Chapter 1171: Return to Nothingness! (Part 2)

Chapter 1171: Chapter 533: Return to Nothingness! (Part 2)

“I said it already. You and the Abyss are no different.”

“Since you’re all nourishment, then you should have the awareness of nourishment.”

As his voice fell, he lightly tapped with his fingertip.

Swish!

That wisp of Chaos Qi ignored the distance of space, ignored the passage of time, and in an instant appeared before Fimiller.

Fimiller’s pupils shrank to the size of needle tips. He frantically urged all the Divine Power in his body, the golden war chariot beneath him burst with its final radiance, and he even crushed a life-saving divine talisman bestowed by a supreme existence of the Celestial Kingdom!

Layer after layer of golden Shield lit up before him, each layer enough to resist a full-power strike from a Burning Fire Realm powerhouse.

However, it was useless.

That wisp of Chaos Qi, light and drifting, touched the first layer of Shield.

No sound, no explosion.

That indestructible golden Shield, like a bubble under sunlight, silently “vanished.”

Then the second layer, the third layer, the fourth layer…

All defenses lost their meaning before the Chaos Qi, being directly “erased” from the level of concept itself.

In the end, that wisp of gray airflow landed between Fimiller’s brows.

Fimiller’s body suddenly stiffened.

The terror on his face was still frozen there. The divine light in his eyes, however, was rapidly fading.

His body, starting from the space between his brows, turned inch by inch into the most primitive particles. No blood and flesh flying, no soul wailing—he just so quietly, so completely, disappeared from this world.

Together with his gorgeous Judge’s robe, the golden war chariot he drove, and those eight divine heavenly steeds.

Everything returned to “nothingness.”

A powerhouse of the God of Fire Realm, a Judge of the Celestial Kingdom, was thus killed with a single finger, without leaving behind even the slightest trace.

This scene plunged that vast will behind the Gate of the Celestial Kingdom into long silence.

It could not comprehend, nor could it accept.

An “ant” who, an Hour ago, had only just stepped into the Divine Furnace Realm, after an Hour had already grown into a “taboo” capable of casually obliterating a God of Fire Realm Judge!

In this barren land they regarded as a “prison” and a “mine,” just what kind of monster had been born?!

After a long time, an icy voice to the extreme, containing no emotion yet harboring endless killing intent, came from behind the Gate of the Celestial Kingdom and resounded throughout the Dragon-Elephant Domain:

“Heretic… Xu Ran…”

“Your name has been inscribed at the head of the ‘Heavenly Dao Pursuit Register’.”

“From this day on, in the three thousand Divine Realms, in the billions of star rivers, wherever the order of the Celestial Kingdom reaches shall be your burial ground.”

“What awaits you will be eternal hunt and endless judgment.”

Rumble!

As the voice fell, that towering Gate of the Celestial Kingdom no longer hesitated; bearing endless humiliation and killing intent, it slowly closed, and finally vanished within the fissure in the firmament.

The Celestial Kingdom retreated!

After paying the price of a God of Fire Realm Judge, twelve Blazing Angels, and tens of thousands of Celestial Kingdom Warriors, it withdrew in disgrace!

With the disappearance of the Gate of the Celestial Kingdom, that supreme pressure weighing on the hearts of all living beings also dispersed like smoke.

Below, the Abyssal Suppression Ravine, having lost the stimulation of the Holy Light of the Celestial Kingdom, also gradually calmed down. That pillar of Demonic Qi piercing the sky slowly retracted, the rift valley was once more shrouded in darkness, as if nothing had ever happened.

A calamity sufficient to overturn the entire world thus drew its curtain.

The sky returned to the Dragon-Elephant Domain’s former gloom and Deathly Silence.

Only that great grinding disk floating in the air, covered in enormous fissures as if it could collapse at any moment—the Gui Xu Reincarnation Great Millstone—was still silently recounting the heart-stirring battle just now.

“My Lord… mighty!”

No one knew how much time had passed before Zhen Shan’s hoarse yet excited voice shattered this Deathly Silence.

“My Lord is invincible!”

The Violet Lightning Knight followed close behind, dropping to one knee, Soul Fire blazing more fiercely than ever before.

“My Lord is invincible!!”

Below, the hundred thousand surviving dead criminals, after the initial shock and stupor, erupted into a frenzied roar like a mountain crashing, like a Tsunami.

Their eyes were filled with awe, worship, and a light called “hope.”

Before meeting Xu Ran, they had merely muddled about on this land of Despair, waiting to be devoured by the Abyss, or to be “Purified” by the Celestial Kingdom, like prisoners.

But now, their Lord, before their very eyes, had repelled the lofty “gods” and imposed Suppression upon the unfathomable “demons”!

This allowed them, for the first time, to see a third path besides destruction and being destroyed!

Xu Ran stood quietly atop the millstone, sensing the pure Power of Faith converging from below, his expression as calm as a still lake.

He did not immerse himself in the joy of victory.

The last words of the Celestial Kingdom’s will just now, he had heard very clearly.

The Heavenly Dao Pursuit Register.

The three thousand Divine Realms, the billions of star rivers.

These few words lifted a corner of a grander and crueler world for him.

He knew that this victory was only a beginning.

What he had provoked was a colossal monstrosity spanning who-knew-how-many “myriad worlds.” The next to arrive would definitely not be a mere seventh Judgment sequence.

“Still not enough… far from enough.” Xu Ran clenched his fist, feeling the power of his Divine Furnace Realm at Great Success within him, without the slightest trace of complacency.

The God of Fire Realm, in the Celestial Kingdom, was perhaps nothing more than a mere “official.”

Above that, what kind of terrifying realms must there be?

His gaze fell upon that Gui Xu Reincarnation Great Millstone on the verge of collapse.

This natal artifact that had accompanied him all the way, after bearing the clash between the Celestial Kingdom and Abyssal powers, had already reached its limit.

“So be it. The old must go for the new to come.”

With a thought, Xu Ran willed.

“Scatter!”

Rumble!

The enormous millstone shattered in response, turning into billions of most primordial Gui Xu and Reincarnation Runes, falling like a rain of stars from the sky.

However, these Runes did not dissipate. Under Xu Ran’s will, they surged into his body like all rivers returning to the sea!

Hum!

Xu Ran’s Chaos Furnace Body, in that instant, seemed to transform into a bottomless maw, swallowing all the Runes.

Behind him, an even grander, even more abstruse Demon Map slowly unfurled.

It was no longer a simple Returning Ruins Demon Map, but had evolved into a “Primordial Dao Diagram”: on the left, Reincarnation and rebirth; on the right, Gui Xu and Nirvana; and at the center, a vast expanse of Chaos!

This Dao Diagram was his brand-new “millstone,” his Dao Foundation for the future!

Having done all this, Xu Ran’s figure slowly descended from the air, arriving before Zhen Shan and the Violet Lightning Knight.

“In this battle, you have rendered merit.”

He flicked his fingers; two strands of origin Qi containing his own comprehension of “Chaos” entered the Soul Fire of Zhen Shan and the Violet Lightning Knight.

“This is ‘Chaos Source Qi.’ Though it is but a wisp, it is enough to temper your bones and body, purify your Soul Light, and allow you a glimpse of higher vistas.”

Boom!

Zhen Shan and the Violet Lightning Knight felt as if a drop of divine liquid had been cast into their Soul Fire, which instantly began to boil!

Their Cultivation, which had long since reached a bottleneck, showed signs of loosening at this moment! Especially Zhen Shan—having obtained the Judgment Law Crystal earlier, he already had a vague sense of the God of Fire Realm. Now, with this wisp of Chaos Source Qi, it was as if he had received Enlightenment, and that door leading to the God of Fire Realm became several times clearer in an instant!

“Thank you, my Lord, for bestowing the Law!” The two were so moved that they once again prostrated themselves.

Xu Ran nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the hundred thousand-strong army below, and said in a loud voice, “You have all witnessed today’s battle.”

“There is always a higher sky. The so-called ‘Celestial Kingdom’ is no more than a stronger ‘prison.’ The so-called ‘gods’ are merely stronger ‘Prison Guards’.”

“If you wish not to be judged, not to be penned in, you have only one path—self-strengthening!”

“I do not need your prayers or worship; what I need are ‘Warriors’ who can fight at my side!”

“From today on, the Dragon-Elephant Domain shall be renamed ‘Gui Xu’.”

“Here, I will establish a Dao lineage and pass down Cultivation Techniques. Any with the will may cultivate. One day, we shall step out of Gui Xu, wage war upon the myriad heavens, and drag that lofty ‘Celestial Kingdom’ into our Reincarnation as well!”

His voice was like a thunderclap, exploding deep within each dead criminal’s soul.
