Chapter 1127 - 512: Sequence 000

Chapter 512

The spine of a person is the foundation that supports the body. And the spine of a Sacred Body is the "ladder to heaven" that supports its operation of myriad laws. Xu Ran’s required "spine" must be an object that has borne the core laws of a great world.

His gaze locked onto a star domain that had long since succumbed to deathly silence.

There, once cradled an exceptionally glorious cultivation civilization, giving rise to more than one quasi-Immortal Emperor during its peak. But now, it is only darkness, with all stars extinguished and all life eradicated.

Yet, in the center of the dark star realm, something remains.

There lies the remains after the collapse of the civilization’s "Heavenly Dao"—a massive crystal stretching tens of thousands of light years, resembling a dragon’s spine. It’s pitch-black, yet internally it gleams with billions of tiny light dots, each a fragment of a once existent law.

"The Heavenly Dao remains... Perfect, sufficient to serve as my spine."

Xu Ran’s thoughts moved, and his ravaged body transformed into a streak of light, instantly tearing through the barrier between Gui Xu and the real cosmos, heading towards that deathly silent star domain.

His speed surpassed light, transcending the limitations of space and time. This was a "conceptual jump" based on his understanding of the cosmos’s foundational rules.

However, even so, when he truly arrived in that star domain, he still felt immense pressure.

This star domain was a heavily afflicted area by the pollution of "End Dust." Countless "Ruins Beasts" floated in the void. These creatures had no fixed form, some resembling twisted nebulae, some resembling shattered planets, and others grotesque amalgamations born from the resentment of dead deities and demons combined with "End Dust."

They were the cleaner fish of the cosmos, instinctively attacking all matter that still "exists."

"Roar!"

A colossal Ruins Beast, its size comparable to a star system, discovered him. It was an aggregate composed of countless shattered warship remains, deceased Immortal bones, and solidified resentment. At its core lay a black hole completely engulfed by "End Dust."

It opened its enormous mouth that could devour stars, releasing a silent roar toward Xu Ran. The roar was not a sound wave, but a command that acted directly on the level of "existence" for erasure.

If it were an ordinary Immortal King here, they might be stripped of the concept of existence in an instant, vanishing entirely.

Xu Ran’s eyes showed no fluctuation. He raised one hand, fingers spread. His fingers were dry, covered in cracks, as if they would shatter with a mere touch.

"To end, to combat the end."

He whispered softly.

In the next moment, a deeper, more pure gray tinge appeared on his dried hand. It was the original aura of "End Dust" he had just expelled from within his body!

Instead of using his faint golden light to resist head-on, he chose to leverage his understanding of "End Dust" to manipulate the "end" power within the Ruins Beast.

Like a master programmer finding a fatal bug in the opponent’s code.

Buzz—

The enormous Ruins Beast’s lethal roar abruptly ceased. Its massive body began to tremble violently, the countless remnants and resentment forming its body started to self-annihilate at an inconceivable speed. The "End Dust" within it lost control and began to voraciously consume itself!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no brilliant light effects. That Ruins Beast, comparable to a star system, silently "evaporated" within mere breaths, transforming into the purest void, leaving not even a speck of dust.

This is the terror of the "Watchman." He combats his enemies, never relying on mere energy levels, but on his absolute understanding of "Dao."

After resolving the hindering Ruins Beast, Xu Ran’s figure did not pause a bit, continuing his flight toward the "Heavenly Dao remains" at the center of the star domain.

The closer he got, the more terrifying the pressure from the collapsed "Heavenly Dao" became. It was a lament and curse from the source of the world, capable of shattering any living being’s Primordial Spirit.

Xu Ran’s body trembled slightly, cracks exuding ever more gray dust. This was not merely pressure, but the "information imprint" of that civilization’s "Heavenly Dao remains" rejecting him as a foreign entity.

"An already dead Heavenly Dao dares to roar at me?"

Xu Ran snorted coldly, the golden light at his forehead igniting once more.

"I have commanded the complete laws of the cosmos. Your mere small world’s Heavenly Dao, even in perfection, is but a firefly compared to me, let alone now just a corpse!"

His will transformed into an invisible sharp blade, fiercely stabbing into the core of the "Heavenly Dao remains."

Boom!

The entire deathly silent star domain trembled. The enormous crystalline dragon bone spanning tens of thousands of light years began to flicker madly with countless law dots within, as if engaging in its final resistance.

Broken images surged into Xu Ran’s mind like a tide.

He saw the rise of that cultivation civilization, countless cultivators soaring on swords, seeking longevity. He saw the birth of the quasi-Immortal Emperor, illuminating the ages, suppressing an era. He also saw the arrival of "End Dust," stars withering, divine beings weeping blood, and finally the entire civilization along with its Heavenly Dao dragged into the abyss of death.

"Pathetic... Lamentable..."
