Chapter 1195 545: Celestial Order_2

It feels that the "root" of its existence is being forcibly torn away from this world by an irresistible force!

"No!!!"

It let out an angry and unwilling roar, trying to resist.

However, in the face of the supreme concept of "Gui Xu," this conglomerate composed of resentment encountered its nemesis.

"Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth. Your battle has long ended. If the obsession is unbroken, how can there be rest?"

Xu Ran's voice, like a decree from the Heavenly Dao, was grand and indifferent.

"I bestow upon you... the ultimate tranquility!"

As his voice fell, the gray whirlpool suddenly expanded.

The towering metallic giant, its core pair of scarlet "eyes," dimmed at a visible speed. The countless resentments and battle wills forming its body seemed to find their final resting place, turning into streams of black torrents uncontrollably absorbed into the whirlpool of Gui Xu in Xu Ran's palm.

No screams, no struggle.

It was a release, an acceptance.

Countless twisted, painful faces appeared in the black torrents and quickly became peaceful, ultimately turning toward Xu Ran's direction, becoming points of light that dissipated between heaven and earth.

Rumble...

Deprived of the support of resentment, the towering metallic giant began to fall apart. Countless wreckages of battleships fell like rain from the sky, crashing to the earth with deafening noise.

Within a brief span of breath.

A terrifying existence at the level of a Divine Monarch disintegrated silently before everyone's eyes.

Zhen Shan and the ten kings were dumbfounded, nearly forgetting to breathe.

What kind of divine power is this? And what kind of unimaginable method!

To subdue an enemy without fighting! No, this wasn't even "subdue," but a direct "disappearance" of the enemy from the roots!

When the last strand of resentment was swallowed by the Gui Xu whirlpool.

Only one item remained in mid-air.

It was a fist-sized, entirely chaotic-colored piece of metal, seemingly containing a bizarre metal akin to a nascent nebula. It hovered quietly, exuding an ancient, heavy, immortal Dao rhythm.

Chaos Immortal Gold!

The core divine material for forging a Divine Monarch level magical treasure! Its value is sufficient to drive countless star domain rulers mad!

Xu Ran beckoned with his hand, and that piece of Chaos Immortal Gold transformed into a stream of light, falling into his hand. It felt warm to the touch yet incomparably heavy, as if holding an entire starry sky.

"Enough to repair the core of the space array," Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction.

However, just as he prepared to put away the Chaos Immortal Gold.

Buzz!

A faint, almost dissipated will was suddenly triggered atop the Immortal Gold, turning into a fragmented scene, rushing into Xu Ran's mind.

It was a battlefield billions of times larger than the tomb under his feet.

An endless array of divine court warships formed a steel Great Wall across the galaxy. On every ship stood divine court warriors with powerful presences. They were not attacking but... retreating!

On their faces, there was no battle intent, only a fear and despair ingrained in their bones.

And behind them, in the black cosmic deep space.

Pure, white beams, void of any energy fluctuations, able to erase all concepts, were mercilessly harvesting like the scythe of death.

Massive star motherships disappeared silently in the moment the white light swept through, leaving not a trace of wreckage.

Celestial Order!

This divine court fleet massive enough to conquer the Cosmos was being hunted and cleared by the "Celestial Order!"

The scene abruptly ended here.

Xu Ran snapped back, a chill rushing from his spine straight to the top of the skull.

He slowly raised his head, looking at the sky shrouded in gray dust, unable to see a single star.

He finally understood.

They didn't escape to an unknown safe zone by luck.

In their desperate flight, they crashed into a former... execution ground cleaned up by the "Celestial Order!"

That cold "Hunter" wasn't on the way.

Its aura, its law, its "order" had already left eternal imprints in every corner of this star domain.

They had always been in the cage.

They had always been in the cage.

This realization was like an invisible ice spike, piercing through time and space, penetrating deep into everyone's Divine Soul present. The shock on Zhen Shan and the ten kings' faces hadn't faded when a deeper, colder fear called despair engulfed them.

The so-called unknown star domain, the so-called deathly silence plateau, was merely a gigantic graveyard delineated by the victor for the defeated, a place of execution circled by laws! They were like beings who had mistakenly entered a slaughterhouse, thinking they found a temporary haven to breathe, unaware of the butcher's knife already overhead, merely yet to fall.

"My lord..." Zhen Shan's voice was extremely dry, his sturdy figure for the first time looking somewhat hunched. Facing the ghostly emperor of the Divine Monarch level, he dared to fight to the death, but facing this already determined, conceptual-level "cleaning," he couldn't even find a target to wield his blade.

This is a feeling of helplessness on the level of life.

"Why panic?"

Xu Ran's voice remained calm, weighing the Chaos Immortal Gold in his hand, as if the truth that could freeze the Divine Soul wasn't as tangible as the weight of this divine gold.

He lifted his eyes, his gaze swept across the pale faces of the crowd, calmly said: "Cage? Execution ground? So what."

"Since the Celestial Order can clean this place, without keeping constant watch on it, then it means its 'cleansing' comes with costs, with consequences, with patterns to follow."

"Its law imprint is order, is rules, and is a double-edged sword. It is both the shackles imprisoning us and the best reference for us to understand, perceive, and even... exploit it!"

Xu Ran's words were like a bolt of lightning, clearing the gloom named despair from everyone's hearts.

Indeed! What kind of person are they following?

That one who single-handedly overthrew the decayed rule of the old divine court, creating the Gui Xu Era! In his dictionary, there was never the term "despair!"

"My lord is right!" Zhen Shan suddenly straightened his spine, rekindling his battle intent, "Who cares about the Celestial Order, we will smash out a path to the heavens in this cage!"

"Well said." Xu Ran approvingly nodded, he handed the Chaos Immortal Gold to Zhen Shan, "Cang Shi needs this. Also, tell him, don't rush to repair the space array. The first thing I want him to do is to use this piece of Immortal Gold as the core, cooperate with the array of the Pioneer, to construct a 'Dao Solution' Amplification Array."

"Dao Solution Amplification Array?" Zhen Shan was startled; it was a term he had never heard.

"Indeed," Xu Ran's gaze again turned toward this vast metal tomb, his eyes became extremely deep, "A graveyard buries not only bones but also history, Dao and Laws, the unwillingness of the defeated, and the marks of the victors. I want to 'Dao Solution' this graveyard, along with the law imprint left by the Celestial Order!"

"I want to see clearly how the divine court fleet was ultimately defeated."

"I also want to see clearly what this Celestial Order ultimately is!"

His tone was not high, yet it carried an unparalleled dominance to see through all creations, to grasp the ultimate secrets of the Cosmos.

Zhen Shan and others' Heart Spirit trembled, faintly feeling that after a deep transformation, the height at which the master stood has already far exceeded their imagination. They were still thinking about how to fight, while the master had already thought about how to understand, even to ride the enemy's "Dao!"

"As you command!" Zhen Shan asked no more, he solemnly received the incomparably heavy Chaos Immortal Gold, saluted Xu Ran, and then transformed into a stream of light, swiftly returning with the ten kings to the Pioneer.

Only Xu Ran remained on the spot.

He did not move, standing quietly on this deathly silent land composed of remnants from countless civilizations. His black robe slightly fluttered in the invisible Evil Qi, he himself seemingly merged with this eternal solitude.
