Chapter 1197: The Path of the Divine Court (Part 2)

Faced with this deadly strike, Xu Ran neither dodged nor evaded.

In his Gui Xu Eyes, every movement of that Cleaner Fish, the trajectory of the Law’s operation, he could see with complete clarity.

“Using ‘logic’ as the bone, and ‘erase’ as the blade… indeed, it shares the same Source.”

Instead, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Xu Ran’s mouth.

“But compared to the genuine Celestial Order, you are merely a poor imitation. You have the ‘form’, but not its ‘essence’.”

“Since that’s the case, let me teach you what true ‘Dao’ means!”

As soon as his words fell, Xu Ran advanced instead of retreating, and threw a punch as well!

This punch of his did not use any Power of Ruins.

On his fist, countless densely packed golden Divine Runes, shining with Immortal brilliance, appeared out of thin air!

These Divine Runes were precisely what he had just “deciphered” from the wreckage of the Divine Court warship, representing the Divine Court’s path of “Guardianship,” “Eternity,” and “Construction”!

In Xu Ran’s past hands, these Laws, completely opposite to Gui Xu, he couldn’t use at all.

But at this moment, through the deep analysis of “deciphering the Dao,” he had already glimpsed its internal logic.

“The path of the Divine Court, its core lies in ‘defining existence’!”

“I am here, therefore, here I exist!”

Boom!

Xu Ran’s fist and the Cleaner Fish’s appendage collided heavily.

There was no imagined catastrophic explosion, only a sound like the tolling of a great bell resounded through heaven and earth!

Golden Divine Runes and the cold “erase” Law engaged in the most fundamental confrontation!

Sizzle sizzle——

At the junction of the two, space displayed a strange “garbled” state, countless Law Fragments came to life and perished, sometimes turning to Chaos, sometimes returning to order.

The Cleaner Fish’s ever-effective Power of “erase,” for the first time, was blocked head-on!

In its cold blue singular eye, seemed to flash a stream of data expressing “confusion”. In its logic library, never had any substance or Energy been able to resist the Law of “erase”.

But Xu Ran, through this collision, clearly felt the essence of the Cleaner Fish.

“As expected, your ‘erase’ does not come from nowhere, but by defining an ‘absolutely correct’ coordinate system, it judges the target as ‘wrong’, thus making corrections… which is erasure.”

“But my path of the Divine Court is also definition! I define my own existence as ‘absolute’, your coordinate system cannot categorize me as ‘wrong’!”

This is the collision of “Dao,” the confrontation of “Logic”!

“Roar!”

The Cleaner Fish seemed enraged, for the first time there appeared an instruction of “anger” in its cold logic.

Its remaining seven appendages simultaneously lit up with dazzling blue light, transforming into seven “Erase Blades” capable of severing causality, sealing all of Xu Ran’s escape routes, and slashing together!

It aimed to completely disassemble this heretic daring to challenge “truth”!

Faced with this Heaven and Earth Net-like attack, Xu Ran took a deep breath.

“Using ‘Dao’ as a shield can only protect oneself. To break the impasse, still requires… using ‘Dao’ as a spear!”

In his eyes, on one side, brilliant Immortal golden Divine Runes flowed, representing “existence” and “order”.

And on the other side, was a deep, deathly silent gray vortex spinning, representing “ending” and “nihility”.

One Yin, one Yang, one begins, one ends.

Two completely opposing Great Daos, in his eyes, achieved an unprecedented, perfect balance!

“In the past, I merely used the Power of Fire as a bonding agent, driving it forcefully.”

“But now, I understand… the true ‘Fire’ is not power, but an intent, an intent of ‘breaking and then creating, seeking life in death’!”

“Gui Xu as the end, the Divine Court as the beginning, alternating ends and beginnings, constitutes… Reincarnation!”

Boom!!!

A presence far more grand, more profound, and more indescribable than the mere Dao of Gui Xu or the Divine Court burst forth from Xu Ran’s body!

He extended two fingers, and with a stroke, pointed lightly at the “Erase Blade” slashing down on him.

This point of his seemed unremarkable.

But where his fingertips brushed, a minute streak mingled with the colors gray and gold was left in the void.

That streak seemed to have life.

The golden Power of “Existence” first forcibly defined an “existence” anchor point on the Law structure of the “Erase Blade,” a minuscule “flaw”.

Following that, the gray Power of “Gui Xu” traced this manufactured “flaw,” like a maggot gouging into its bones, instantly infiltrating its interior, and on a conceptual basis, conducted an “ending”!

Crack!

A crisp sound akin to Liuli shattering rang out.

That “Erase Blade” capable of erasing a Divine Monarch, at a mere three inches from Xu Ran’s forehead, suddenly halted, then began to fracture from the tip, disintegrating into the purest, meaningless Law Fragments, dissipating into the air.

One finger, breaking the Law!

“What?!”

Across on the Pioneer, witnessing this scene through the divination monitoring array, Cang Shi exclaimed in disbelief. Waves surged through his previously placid heart.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying that “erase” Law was. It was a force even the pinnacle Divine Court creation like the Pioneer could not withstand!

Yet now, the Lord had… unraveled it head-on?!

“This… is the Lord’s own ‘Dao’!” Cang Shi’s voice trembled, “He has melded the Gui Xu and the Divine Court, two diametrically opposed Great Daos, into one, pioneering a completely new path!”

Zhen Shan watched with blood boiling, fists clenched, knuckles white.

Strong! So very strong!

This is the master they follow! No matter what dire situations he faces, he always breaks conventions to create miracles!

On the battlefield, Xu Ran did not pause after breaking the Law with one finger.

His figure flickered as he strolled leisurely, moving effortlessly through the inescapable array formed by the seven “Erase Blades”.

Each time his fingers pointed, carried the intertwining cycle resonance of gray and gold.

Each time, it accurately tapped on the Law’s core node of the “Erase Blade”.

First defining its “existence” with the “Divine Court,” then delivering its “ending” with “Gui Xu.”

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The crisp sound of shattering was unending.

Those seven “Erase Blades” capable of destroying everything, before Xu Ran appeared as fragile as glass.

In just a few breaths, the seven attacking appendages of the Celestial Cleaner Fish were all shattered by him!

“Roar!”

The Cleaner Fish let out an angry and confused roar, its remaining supporting leg kicked violently, its massive body retreating explosively, intending to distance itself.

In its cold logic core, for the first time, a topmost alert named “danger” was generated.

“Trying to leave?”

Xu Ran’s gaze grew cold, “The ‘Celestial Core’ within you can greatly benefit my research on the ‘deciphering’ Grand Array. Stay!”

He took a step, his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

The next moment, he appeared above the Celestial Cleaner Fish.

“Reincarnation… Dao Seal!”

Xu Ran formed a seal with both hands, and in his palms, a complex and mysterious Dharma Seal composed of countless gray-golden Runes condensed.

On that Dharma Seal, one side was the holy light of the Divine Court constructing everything, and the other was the Abyss of Gui Xu devouring all things, the two interwoven like Yin and Yang fish, emanating a supreme aura of contradiction yet harmony that was both creation and destruction.

“Suppress!”

Xu Ran slammed down with his palm, the “Reincarnation Dao Seal” grew larger with the wind, instantly becoming mountain-sized, heavily stamping onto the massive blue crystal singular eye of the Celestial Cleaner Fish!

Buzz——!!!

This time, it was no longer a confrontation on the Law level.

But Xu Ran’s reborn “Dao of Reincarnation,” conducting a comprehensive crushing of the “Logic Dao” of the Celestial Cleaner Fish!

Only to see that enormous reincarnation Dao Seal, like a hot iron branding ice, instantly melted and decomposed all the defensive Runes on that blue crystal singular eye!

The massive body of the Cleaner Fish trembled violently, its internal Law circuits began to collapse and disarray on a large scale under the impact of the reincarnation Dao Seal.
