Chapter 1190 - 543: Right at This Moment!

Chapter 543

This power is the foundation of the Divine Court civilization, the crystallization of their understanding of the cosmos and the elucidation of myriad laws. Its essence is far beyond the comprehension of chaotic beings like the Rusted Tide, which only understands devouring and contamination.

Crack! Crack!

Countless flesh tendrils entwined around the ancient book shattered inch by inch under the wash of this "reason," as if encountering a natural enemy, and were purified into green smoke!

"It’s now!"

Xu Ran shouted softly, as the beam of gold and gray intertwined light already arrived.

The gray Power of Ruins transformed into an invisible giant hand, isolating the last retaliation of the mother nest. The golden-red Power of Fire gently wrapped around the ancient book that had freed itself from its bonds like a soft thread.

Whoosh!

Without the slightest pause, the ancient book transformed into a stream of light, returning along the "Path of Nirvana" it had come from, in a speed that transcended the concept of space and time. It directly penetrated the hull of the Pioneer, as if the two were naturally in different dimensions, and the next moment, it was already quietly suspended in front of Xu Ran.

The ancient book is in hand!

"Roar——!!!"

Just at the instant the ancient book detached from the mother nest, a scream filled with endless pain and rage echoed in everyone’s Divine Soul.

The mother nest, having lost its target for suppression and digestion, fell into complete madness. Its enormously vast body began to uncontrollably expand and contract violently, the core brewing a destructive energy.

It wants to self-destruct! To drag this entire area, along with the enemies who stole its treasure, into the abyss of eternal damnation!

"Cang Shi! Prepare for jump! Immediately!" Xu Ran clutched the warm ancient book, shouting sharply.

"Yes!" Cang Shi had already prepared, his hands becoming a hundred afterimages on the array disk.

The engines of the throne-class ark were pushed to the limit, space around the ship began to distort and fold again, about to vanish into the void.

Yet, at this critical moment, a sudden change erupted!

The ancient book held in Xu Ran’s hand suddenly "swiped," automatically opening a page!

On the book page, there was no text, yet a cold, grand, emotionless will began to flow out, directly imprinting in the depths of the minds of all living beings on the bridge.

It was neither sound nor Divine Thought, but a higher level "proclamation" based on information and laws.

"Warning: ’First Daoist Scripture’ has detached from ’Seventh Sealed Unit.’

’Sealed Unit detected to be highly contaminated by ’Rusted Celestial Calamity.’

’Executing ’Final Cleansing Protocol.’

’Protocol Objective One: Purify Contaminated Area.’

’Protocol Objective Two: Lock on to carrier of ’Fire Remnants,’ deemed ’highest priority variable,’ execute... erasure!’

This will starkly contrasts the iron-blooded, safeguarding Divine Court. It seems more like an emotionless superintelligence, or rather, the execution program of... the ’Heavenly Dao’ for an ancient command!

The Rusted Tide was merely a parasite occupying the abandoned nest. But this will is the true... "Prison Guard" of the Daoist Library Hall!

Boom!!!

Following the proclamation of that will, the entire mother nest about to self-destruct, along with that colossal Daoist Library Hall, was instantly detonated by an indescribable horrific power from within.

But it wasn’t chaotic energy explosion, rather an ultimate "contraction" and "annihilation!"

In the center of the Daoist Library Hall, a "singularity" appeared, deeper than a black hole, purer than the void. A beam of white light refined to the ultimate, capable of erasing all concepts in the world, shot out from that singularity, locking onto the Pioneer becoming ethereal, fiercely shooting!

Wherever the white light passed, whether space, laws, or remnants of the Rusted Tide, silently "disappeared."

Not destroyed, but completely erased from the "existence" level!

"Bad!" Xu Ran’s pupils contracted suddenly.

The horror of this strike already surpassed the realm of the Flame Level, even ordinary Divine Monarchs couldn’t withstand it!

This is the civilization-level cleaning method!

"Jump!"

Cang Shi roared, pushing the ark’s jump engine to the edge of breaking.

At the last moment before the white beam arrived, the hull of the Pioneer finally transformed completely into a phantom, vanishing from place.

Hiss——

White light, ultimately still a little faster.

It swept precisely over the spatial shadow left before the Pioneer disappeared, also grazing the tail of the ark.

...

A deathly silent, cold unknown star domain.

Space shattered like broken glass, and a dark golden ark fell out of it miserably, with rolling thick smoke and piercing alarm sounds.

Boom!

The Pioneer crashed heavily onto an enormous planet long dead, creating a bottomless canyon on that star before coming to a stop.

The bridge was in complete disorder.

Many generals bled from mouth and nose, pale-faced, heavily injured in the violent space shock and law impact just now.

"Cough cough... Did we... escape?" Zhen Shan struggled to stand up, asking apprehensively.

No one answered him.

Everyone’s gaze was through the large viewing window of the bridge, looking at the rear of the ark.

There, the originally smooth and colossal ship tail of the Pioneer had at least one-third of the area disappeared out of nowhere!

It wasn’t wreckage from destruction, but a smooth as mirror, absolute "void." As if that part of the hull had never existed at all. The divine gold constituting the hull, immortal dao pattern, complex array... all were thoroughly erased, leaving no trace.
