Chapter 537

But everything is in vain.

All his attacks, when touching that Chaos giant hand, were devoured by the Gui Xu dao rhythm it carried. It caused no Damage.

Crunch! Crunch!

Under the stunned gaze of countless Gui Xu beings, that ferocious bone ship that rampaged through the dark Cosmos and destroyed countless civilizations was as fragile as a toy facing that Chaos giant hand.

The hard bone armor was crushed to pieces, the complex metal framework shredded inch by inch. The tens of thousands of white bone star thieves aboard couldn’t even utter a scream before being pulverized into the most primordial Soul Fire and bone essence by the Chaos aura.

“No… Who the hell are you…”

The Calamity Monarch was grabbed from the wreckage by that giant hand. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t move an inch. Sensing the force of Primordial Unity, all-encompassing yet overwhelmingly tyrannical, he finally understood he had provoked a terrifying existence.

This isn’t the Divine fire realm!

This is definitely an existence beyond the Divine fire realm! A legendary figure, a Daoist Monarch who has begun to consolidate their own Dao?!

What’s he doing in this godforsaken remote Star Domain?!

Xu Ran did not answer his question.

With a thought, that Chaos giant hand squeezed fiercely!

“Ah—!”

After an agonizing scream, the Calamity Monarch’s Soul Fire was forcibly extracted from his Immortal bones, transforming into a fist-sized, dark golden primordial Divine Fire.

And his body, honed through countless ages with indestructible Divine fire realm bones, was cleansed of all death marks by the Chaos aura, becoming a skeleton glimmering with a faint golden hue.

Xu Ran flicked his finger.

That dark golden primordial Divine Fire transformed into a stream of light, flying precisely to the top of the Ascension platform, merging into Cang Shi who was breaking through his realm.

“This is your ”. Whether it ignites depends on you.”

Boom!

With this incredibly pure Divine Fire Source, Cang Shi’s Gui Xu body instantly solidified to its limit, a brand-new Divine Fire belonging solely to him ignited fiercely from his soul center!

Divine fire realm, complete!

A powerful aura soared skyward, heralding the birth of the Gui Xu domain’s first native Divine realm powerhouse!

Cang Shi felt unprecedentedly powerful within, tears of excitement filled his eyes. He bowed deeply to Xu Ran’s figure.

“Disciple Cang Shi, thanks His Lordship for the grace of rebirth!”

Meanwhile, Xu Ran flicked his fingers again.

That pure skeleton belonging to the Calamity Monarch flew toward Zhen Shan.

“This bone serves as your ‘throne,’ aiding you in taking the final step.”

Zhen Shan was overjoyed, taking the skeleton and sitting cross-legged. An immense battle intent and path of punishment soared, resonating with the skeleton, instantly tearing through the threshold to fully reach the “Bone King” realm!

After completing all this, Xu Ran’s gaze landed on the remains of the bone ship squeezed into scrap metal.

With a wave of his hand, countless shattered bones and metallic fragments, like streams converging toward a river, flowed into the Gui Xu domain.

“Zidian, distribute these materials through merit exchange. I want each of my Returning Ruins Dao Soldiers to have their own ‘Bone Soldier’ Magical Artifact!”

“By His Lordship’s decree!” Zidian’s voice trembled with excitement.

A crisis capable of destroying the Gui Xu domain had, in His Lordship’s hands, been miraculously transformed into immense opportunity!

In the blink of an eye, strong foes were annihilated!

A flip of the palm created a divine fire, forged a bone king!

This scene etched deep into every Gui Xu being’s soul. Their reverence for Xu Ran had transcended belief, reaching near fanatical fever akin to a “Dao.”

For them on their journey, His Lordship was the sole beacon!

After all this, Xu Ran’s expression remained unchanged, as if this were merely a trivial affair.

He slowly descended from the sky before the Gui Xu Palace.

Yet his gaze turned to the sky vault he had pierced. The vault was slowly healing under the influence of Chaos dao rhythm.

He knew this crisis was just the beginning.

The appearance of the white bone star thief crew signaled this Star Domain was not truly a place of Deathly Silence.

Breaking through the cage brought starlight, but also drew wolves lurking in the dark.

“Time… is running out,” Xu Ran murmured softly.

He opened his palm, and there lay a bronze shard quietly.

Unlike thirty years ago, part of the shard had been illuminated. It was an exceedingly complex star map, and in one corner a weak light flickered.

Identified through refining the last memory strand of the Calamity Monarch’s Divine Soul and cross-referencing the star map within the bronze shard, a location was finally confirmed.

An ancient ruin labeled “God Court Seventh Outpost,” billions of leagues from here on the star map.

“Breaking out… first stop, let’s start here.”

Xu Ran stowed the shard, eyes not harboring a trace of fear, only endless tranquility and even firmer resolve.

His aim was not merely to lead the Gui Xu domain to survival.

He sought to retrace the “God Court” path, to see for himself the epic scale of the “Burial Heaven Battle” that buried an era.

And Xu Ran would no longer be a spectator of history.

He would be, the creator of the new path!

He would be, the creator of the new path!

This statement wasn’t mere bravado or a momentary surge of ambition, but the budding sprout of a dao tree that had long taken root. Xu Ran’s Dao never aimed to settle in a corner, nor was it clinging to life. Gui Xu domain was his root, his foundation, but it would certainly never be his endpoint.
