Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Burning World, Returning to the Void, Tears and Blood, Weapons Ringing (Finale Part 2)

The destructive storm had not yet subsided, carrying with it the ashes of burnt stars and fragments of law collisions. Lin Feng and Su Wan, like two burning meteors, slammed into the core area of the Lava Altar!

Boom!!!

The terrifying impact exploded into a huge crater on the dark golden lava surface, with the hot magma splashing like a fountain! Lin Feng completely lost consciousness, his body resembling broken porcelain, covered with charred cracks, and his breath was so weak as to be almost nonexistent. The three-colored essence seed in his dantian, which was covered with cracks, had completely extinguished its light, leaving only a trace of the remnant warmth of the Origin Deity's Silence to stubbornly resist complete collapse. If it weren't for the tough physique forged by the "Nine Abyss Suppressing Prison Sutra" and the trace of resistance to destructive power imparted by the Origin Deity's Furnace, he would have long turned into flying ash in the Nascent Soul Storm.

Su Wan's condition was equally dire. The Mo Yu Poisonous Steel had been completely shattered under the storm's impact, and her protective clothing was charred and torn in multiple places, revealing her burned skin. She forcefully swallowed the dark green blood that welled up in her throat, her internal organs feeling as if they were being burned by a raging fire and pounded by a heavy hammer, causing intense pain to pierce her heart. But in her Mo Yu-like pupils, coldness and tenacity were as solid as eternal ice, holding her steadfastly without collapsing. She knelt on the scorching lava surface with one knee, firmly grasping the unconscious Lin Feng with her other hand, shielding him behind her on the edge of a relatively "safe" pit. With her other hand, she propped herself up on the ground, using the dark green poisonous energy between her fingers to resist the erosion of the lava beneath her feet with difficulty, emitting a hissing sound.

**World Burning Realm! **

This place is a purgatory of flames! The air is twisted and boiling, filled with the sulfurous scent of annihilation and pure will to destroy. Beneath your feet is not rock, but a living, pulsating earth filled with dark golden magma! Countless vast cracks resemble the gaping maws of demons, spewing incandescent flames of destruction. The altar itself is composed of solidified dark golden lava and burning fragments of stars. At the top is not a stone pillar, but a miniature, erupting shadow of the World-Burning Furnace! Within the furnace, at the heart of the incandescent flames, a chain shadow, entirely composed of flowing dark golden divine flames and countless remnants of burned stars, resembles a bound apocalyptic fiery dragon, roaring silently! On the surface of the chain, imprinted are the law runes of burning the sky and boiling the sea, refining all things!

**The seventh lock of the blood sacrifice - the Lock of World-Burning Flame! **

On the base of the altar, nine guardian stone statues, each with a ferocious appearance and seemingly composed of solidified lava and the cores of stars, exuded a heat and pressure even more terrifying than that of the Lava Guardian. Among them, a guardian shaped like a giant lava turtle, carrying a burning star shell on its back, had its lava shell wriggling and cracking like a living creature! A pure, terrifying pressure, infinitely close to the Nascent Soul stage, capable of incinerating all matter and energy, erupted like an imminent volcanic eruption, locking onto the intruding ant!

Guardian of the Burning World - **Molten Core Star Turtle**, awake!

Its giant eye, composed of the molten cores of stars, ignited two incandescent flames of destruction. Without any roar, it slowly opened its abyss-like maw towards Su Wan and Lin Feng!

**Burning Realm · Starfall! **

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-!!!

A devastating breath, purely composed of incandescence and embodying the Law of Star Devastation, shot like a light spear piercing through heaven and earth, instantly tearing through the boiling air and bearing an aura of absolute annihilation as it shot towards the two people in the pit! Its speed and ferocity far surpassed any previous attacks! This was the manifestation of the Law of World Devastation, capable of instantly vaporizing Golden Core cultivators!

Su Wan's pupils suddenly constricted! This attack was swift, fierce, and relentless! It was impossible to avoid or block!

The source of the myriad poisons within her body struggled to operate under the suppression of the Burning World Realm, and her severely injured body found it even more difficult to sustain the powerful poisonous domain. Her only chance for survival... lay in the Order of the Armament Master!

"Commander's order! Defend!" Su Wan shouted fiercely in her heart, directing her remaining willpower to the token in her sea of consciousness!

Hum -!

Hanging over the sea in the forest wind, the Warlord Order, which was greedily absorbing the destructive aura emanating from the Lava Altar, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented radiance! Six colors of light—dark gold, red gold, pale white, dark green, grayish-green (the source of the forest and the world), and dark gold (the source of the metal Geng)—intertwined and merged crazily! A domineering will that commands all laws and shatters all tribulations, mixed with the ultimate aura of the void's annihilation, descended with a bang!

**Warlord·Domain Suppression! **

A huge token shadow, condensed from the flow of six-colored light, instantly appeared in front of Su Wan and Lin Feng! Above the shadow, the word "Bing" shone like an eternal star, radiating a majestic divine power that suppressed the heavens!

Boom!!!!

The incandescent star meteor's breath fiercely collided with the shadow of the Commander of Armies' Order!

An indescribable loud noise shook the entire Lava Altar! A devastating energy shockwave exploded in a circular pattern, instantly plowing and evaporating the surrounding lava surface! The ghostly figure of the Warlord's Order violently shook, with six-colored lights flickering incessantly, emitting a mournful cry as if overwhelmed by the burden. Fine cracks even appeared on its surface! But it ultimately... **blocked it**! The breath powerful enough to incinerate stars was forcibly blocked outside!

In the giant eye formed by the molten core of the Molten Core Star Turtle, an emotion akin to "astonishment" surfaced for the first time. Could the token on this ant's body actually withstand its world-burning aura?

However, the eruption of the Soldier's Master Order completely drained the last bit of strength supporting Lin Feng's sea of knowledge. The token's shadow instantly dimmed and dissipated after blocking the breath, reverted back to its original form, and floated weakly, as if it had exhausted its reserves. Lin Feng's already collapsing body trembled violently under the force of this backlash, and black blood mixed with visceral fragments oozed out from the corner of his mouth. His breath grew even weaker, like a dying candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.

"Lin Feng!" For the first time, intense fluctuations appeared in Su Wan's icy eyes, a tremor mixed with anxiety, anger, and some deeper emotions. Despite the severe pain, she forcibly activated the black jade runes, and a stream of pure poison essence flowed into Lin Feng's body, trying to sustain his last breath.

At that very moment --

Buzzing---!!!

In Lin Feng's embrace, the dark red fragment that had been dormant suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented heat and piercing light! A wave of sorrow, unwillingness, and a terrifying edge that cuts through everything, originating from the depths of his bloodline and soul, erupted like a volcano that had been silent for billions of years!

This aura resonated with the shadow of the broken dark red giant blade at the top of the Armament Forging Platform in an unprecedented way!

**Clang——!!! **

A **weapon's cry** that seemed to have traversed through time and space, embodying an endless sense of bloodshed, suddenly echoed from the direction of the weapon forging platform! The sound was not loud, yet it pierced through the roar of the chaotic battle of Nascent Souls, resonating deep within the souls of every living creature!

The entire Blood Sea Plain instantly fell into a strange stasis!

The boiling sea of blood solidified! The roaring river of blood stagnated! The four Nascent Soul shadows, which were attacking each other crazily, suddenly froze in their movements. Their bodies, composed of pure elements and resentment, began to tremble violently and uncontrollably! Their "gazes" were filled with indescribable fear and longing, fixed on the Armament Forging Platform!

Of the nine solid giant chains entwined around the main body of the Armament Casting Platform, only the last three (Water, Earth, and Fire) are still struggling to hold on! At the moment when the dark red fragments resonate with the shadow of the giant blade and the sound of the armament resonates, the solid giant chain corresponding to the **World-Burning Flame Lock** has its dark gold runes flashing frantically on its surface, as if enduring a dual impact from both inside and outside, emitting a piercing, metallic groan akin to metal about to break!

At the top of the Lava Altar, the shadow of the World-Burning Lock formed by the Dark Golden Divine Flame also trembled violently under the sound of the warriors' horns! The law runes that formed the chain became disordered!

"Now is the time!" Su Wan's eyes glowed with a deep jade-like radiance, instantly seizing this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity! The Armament Master's Order was temporarily incapacitated, and Lin Feng was on the verge of death, but the power of the Armament Forge itself had been triggered by the dark red fragment!

Without hesitation, she endured the searing heat of the Burning World domain and the intense pain in her internal organs, and forcefully pushed Lin Feng's body to a relatively safe position deep within the pit. Simultaneously, she sprinted forward like an arrow released from a bow, braving the destructive breath of the Molten Core Star Turtle that was brewing once again, and charged upward!

The target - the core node of the Burning World Flame Locking Illusion! The heart of the furnace that flows with incandescent, destructive flames!

"With my poison, I will erode your divine flames!" Su Wan's icy voice echoed throughout the Lava Realm. The deep and mysterious glow of the black jade runes on her collarbone no longer emitted poisonous energy, but instead condensed all the sources of ten thousand poisons, along with the part of the source that had just been introduced into Lin Feng's body and then drawn back, mixed with the power she had ignited by burning her life essence blood, and compressed and condensed it all into the tip of her right index finger!

The fingertip was no longer dark green, but had transformed into a point of **absolute pitch-black** so profound that it seemed to swallow up light! It was as if it condensed an extinguished universe!

**Ten Thousand Poisons · Origin Deity Silence! **

"Sssshhh——!!!

A concise and extremely fine, pitch-black poisonous thread, ignoring the distance of space and the high temperature of the Burning World Realm, hit the core of the Burning World Flame Lock Illusion with unparalleled precision - the point where the incandescent flames were the most intense and the law runes were the most densely packed!

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

There is only a soul-freezing... **extinction**.

That point is absolutely pitch-black, akin to ice at absolute zero dropped into boiling water, or the ultimate endpoint of the cosmic void! The tyrannical law of the World-Burning Divine Flame, which annihilates all things, encounters its nemesis in the face of this ultimate poisonous power, which condenses the essence of all poisons and the true meaning of annihilation. It is forcibly **frozen**, **eroded**, and **reduced to deathly silence**!

The incandescent flame core, centered around that pitch-black point, rapidly darkened, cooled, and lost all light, heat, and vitality, resembling burnt ash! The law runes disintegrated inch by inch!

"Woo..." The Nucleus Star Turtle let out a low and painful cry. It was connected to the source of the chains, and the core of the chains was extinguished. Its massive lava body instantly dimmed, and the eyes of the Star Nucleus flickered violently. The brewing breath suddenly stopped!

Boom!!!

Without the support of the core node, the entire shadow of the Burning World Flame Lock collapsed with a loud crash! The flowing dark golden divine flame burst out like an unleashed dragon, turning the Lava Altar into a sea of destruction!

The seventh solid giant chain (Fire) wrapped around the body of the Armament Casting Platform emitted a piercing wail of sorrow the instant the chain's shadow collapsed. The runes on its surface completely dimmed and cracked! It fell limply, resembling a severed python!

The seventh World-Burning Flame Lock, break!

Buzzing——!!!

The Soldier's Token, like a long-awaited rain after a drought, burst forth with an unprecedented thirsty glow! A vast and pure flood of dark gold and incandescence, composed of the origin of the World-Burning Divine Flame and the resentment of melting stars, gushed out from the broken chains and was greedily devoured by the Soldier's Token! On the token, the red-gold lava patterns instantly swelled and burned, as if endowed with the great power to burn stars! The six-colored radiance became completely harmonious, and a terrifying pressure that surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage and even touched the threshold of the Golden Core emanated from the token! It seemed to... **come alive**!

On the fragmented map, the seventh chain pattern, shattered!

"Roar!!!" "Ouch!!!" "Buzz!!!"

At almost the same moment as the Yan Lock fractured, the three Nascent Soul shadows atop the altars of Metal, Water, and Earth completely shook off the brief stagnation and fear brought by the sound of weapons clashing, and let out a frenzied roar that shattered the sky! They sensed a deadly threat! The aura of the Weapon Forge was rapidly resurging! The sharpness of the Bloody Weapon made them instinctively fearful!

Without any hesitation, the three illusory figures ceased their mutual attacks. All their anger and strength, united as never before, were directed towards the petite yet devastating woman on the Lava Altar - Su Wan!

The shadow of a golden giant sword slashed down from the sky, and a dark golden sword aura that tore through the laws of space spanned across the void!

The shadow of the water system's abyss churns, and a river of dark ice that freezes time and space roars forth!

The shadow of the earth-elemental sacred mountain descends, covering everything with a gravitational quagmire that crushes everything beneath it!

The three-stranded Nascent Soul-level law attack, with the will of a finishing move, sealed off all the evasive space for Su Wan! Its power far exceeded the previous internal conflict test!

Su Wan had just unleashed her ultimate poisonous power, leaving her body in an unprecedented state of weakness. The light of the black jade runes dimmed. Facing this triple attack of the finishing blow, a hint of determination flashed across her eyes, but there was no fear. She didn't even look at the impending destructive attack, but instead, she abruptly turned around and rushed towards the unconscious Lin Feng in the depths of the pit, attempting to use her damaged body to shield him from the final aftershocks!

At this critical moment——

"Uh-ah——!!!"

In the depths of the pit, the fire of life, which should have been completely extinguished, suddenly burst out with an unprecedented brightness!

Under the multiple stimuli of the fractured Burning World Flame Lock, the Armament Master Order devouring the source of Divine Flame, and the resonance between the dark red fragments and the Armament Forge, especially sensing Su Wan's resolute attack and the three devastating Nascent Soul attacks, Lin Feng, who was on the verge of death, erupted with an unparalleled roar from his silent will at the edge of the abyss of the Origin Destruction!

Inside the dantian, the long-extinguished, three-colored essence seed covered in cracks suddenly lit up at its core, a smoldering ember that had been extinguished in the void! It was like the first spark ignited in absolute darkness! The scriptures of the "Nine Abyss Suppressing Prison Sutra" automatically resonated in his shattered sea of consciousness, and a power that originated from the deepest depths of the Nine Abyss and devoured everything was triggered!

**Cosmic Forge · Devouring the Sky and Devouring the Earth! **

Boom!

A miniature, pitch-black vortex emanating a terrifying devouring power suddenly opened up, centered around Lin Feng! Within the vortex, destruction and rebirth intertwined!

The three devastating Nascent Soul attacks, on the verge of hitting Su Wan and Lin Feng, were forcibly twisted, pulled, and partially devoured by the suddenly appearing Origin Vortex! Although it was only a tiny fraction, it was enough to cause a fatal deviation in the core trajectory of the attacks!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dark golden sword qi grazed the tops of Su Wan and Lin Feng's heads and plunged into the distant sea of blood, stirring up a towering wave of blood!

The Xuanming Ice River crashed into the edge of the Lava Altar, freezing and shattering a vast expanse of lava!

The gravitational quagmire engulfed the remnants of the Nucleus Star Turtle's body, sinking it deeply into the molten lava, emitting a muffled explosion!

The aftermath was still terrifying! Su Wan and Lin Feng were hit like by an invisible giant hammer, spewing blood again and flying out, crashing fiercely against the lava barrier of the altar! The vortex of the Origin that Lin Feng had just forcibly triggered instantly shattered. His seven orifices were bleeding, and his body was like a porcelain piece that had been forcibly glued together after being shattered. But his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide!

In his eyes, there was no longer weariness or despair, but a flame intertwined with dark gold, red gold, and pale white. At the depths, there was an annihilation that devoured everything like the void! A faint yet fundamentally transformed aura spread from his shattered body - after devouring a trace of the aftermath of the Nascent Soul Law, fusing with the Origin of the World-Burning Flame Lock, and triggering the ultimate potential of the Void Furnace, he had actually forcibly crossed the threshold on the brink of death!
