The Jade Profound Heart Flame enveloped Lin Ming layer upon layer, forming a nearly sealed cocoon of flames beneath which Five-Colored Brilliance immediately surged.

"Senior Half Sage- Saint, forgive me! This skeleton is of great use to me, concerning the lives of those around me and the perils ahead. Today, Lin Ming will take it!" A deep and firm voice was clearly transmitted through the raging flames.

At this moment, within Lin Ming's dantian, the Dou Qi vortex that he had been suppressing with the secret technique of <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art>, revealing only the fire and wood attributes, finally ceased to be hidden!

The cyclone spun wildly, Five-Colored Brilliance burst forth, reflecting and complementing each other to form a perfect and stable Five Elements cycle!

He pushed the <Chaos Spirit Five Elements Art> to its current limit! The Spirit Realm Soul power also condensed at the same time, combining with the surging Five Elements Dou Qi in his body and the outer layer of Jade Profound Heart Flame, the three of them were more closely integrated than ever before.

Beneath the deep Emerald Flames lay a surging, mutually reinforcing, and mutually restraining Five Elements Origin! Under the precise control of Lin Ming's immense Soul Power, this energy, which fused the power of the three elements, did not violently surge forth, but instead transformed into countless fine, hair-like energy threads shimmering with five-colored light.

These silk threads, like living serpents or the most skillful weavers, swiftly wove in the air into a vast, all-encompassing energy net, flowing with the rhythms of the Five Elements. Slowly, with an irresistible, all-encompassing force, they enveloped the skeleton that still radiated a dark golden light.

The Five Elements are the foundation of the world; they can give rise to all things and also encompass and assimilate all things.

When the energy net containing the power of the Five Elements Origin came into contact with the dark golden defensive halo, something strange happened. The defensive halo, which had originally violently repelled all external objects, still existed, but the light of the runes flowing on it clearly faltered. Its sharp resistance seemed to have encountered some higher-level source of power, and it was no longer as domineering as before. Instead, it showed signs of being gradually penetrated and analyzed.

Seeing this, Lin Ming was overjoyed! "It worked!"

However, he dared not relax in the slightest. He immediately focused his attention and carefully manipulated the countless threads of the Five Elements Energy, like the most patient craftsman, wrapping them thread by thread around every joint and every inch of the Dark Gold Skeleton.

The energy threads were not forcibly pulled, but rather, like the roots of a plant, slowly and steadily seeped into the invisible energy connection between the skeleton, the Bone Mountain below, and this Altar Space, gradually peeling away and severing it.

This process was far more mentally and physically demanding than the previous climbs.

The veins on Lin Ming's forehead bulged, writhing like a dragon. Large drops of sweat, just as they seeped from his pores, were instantly evaporated into white vapor by the high temperature around him.

His face had turned pale from the massive depletion of his Soul Power and Dou Qi, but his eyes remained bright as stars, fixed on the skeleton.

Time passed slowly in the silent confrontation. The battle below the mountain had reached a fever pitch, and the light of Elder Yao's Soul Body was growing dimmer, with even some ripples appearing at the edges, clearly indicating a huge drain on his energy.

Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Mist was compressed to only protect a few feet around her, and her face turned pale.

Zi Yan was in the worst condition. She clashed head-on with the Blood-colored Fire Dragon several times, her dragon scales shattered in many places, and her Purple-Gold Blood stained her clothes. However, the ferocity and stubbornness in her eyes did not diminish at all. She was repelled time and time again, but she roared and charged forward again and again, tightly entangled with the main force of the Flame Giant Dragon.

Just as Lin Ming felt his soul was almost exhausted, and the rotation speed of his Dou Qi vortex began to slow down—

"Buzz..."

The Dark Gold Skeleton finally emitted a soft, resonant sound, which seemed both a sense of relief and a sigh.

On the skeleton, the dazzling rune light receded rapidly like a tide, completely subsiding and disappearing, and the indestructible defensive halo also vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the skeleton no longer exuded any active pressure or resistance, becoming like a sleeping ancient deity, quiet and peaceful, an unowned object containing endless mysteries.

It's done!

Lin Ming was filled with immense joy, but he knew this was not the time to relax.

He suppressed his near-collapse and dared not delay in the slightest. He immediately took out a piece of flawless, top-quality Supreme Warm Jade, about ten feet long, from his Storage Ring.

The Soul Power surged, transforming into the sharpest carving knife, instantly cutting and polishing the huge jade stone into an ancient and solemn Jade Coffin.

He carefully transformed his Soul Power into the softest platform, lifting the Dark Gold Skeleton and gently and completely transferring it into the Jade Coffin.

The moment the skeleton was placed inside, a warm, lustrous light naturally emanated from the inside of the Jade Coffin, enveloping it completely.

Lin Ming quickly closed the coffin lid, and with a series of swift movements, he unleashed dozens of seals containing Soul Imprint and the Five Elements Dou Qi, completely sealing the Jade Coffin before solemnly storing it in the deepest part of his storage Storage Ring.

Just as the remains were collected, and the last connection between this world and its inhabitants was severed—

"Boom!"

The entire Altar Space seemed to have lost a crucial core support, emitting a muffled rumble from the depths of the earth!

The oppressive aura of Half Sage, which had been weighing heavily on everyone's hearts and omnipresent, suddenly diminished by more than half, like the receding tide! Although it still existed, it no longer felt suffocatingly oppressive.

"Success!" Lin Ming let out a long, satisfying sigh of relief, feeling much lighter all over. He quickly took out a few recovery pills and popped them into his mouth, catalyzing their effects while casting his gaze down the mountain at the still intense battle, which seemed to have stagnated slightly due to the sudden decrease in pressure. A cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

"Next, it's time to completely eliminate you--" Lin Ming's voice was as cold as Nine Nether spring, and the Killing Intent contained within was almost tangible. His gaze was like two unsheathed swords, firmly locking onto the blood-red Giant Dragon that was churning in the tide of Beast Soul, exuding overwhelming ferocity.

"The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame!"

The shout was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the core space! Lin Ming took a sudden step forward, and the dark golden ground trembled slightly where his foot landed. It was as if a dormant volcano within him had suddenly awakened, and his vast and boundless Dou Qi surged out without reservation!

"Boom--!"

The Jade Profound Heart Flame erupted with unprecedented ferocity!

It was no longer a protective light shield, but a true ocean of flames! Brilliant emerald flames shot into the sky, instantly transforming an area of nearly a hundred feet around Lin Ming into a scorching domain of fire.

The flames were not still, but were rolling and roaring wildly, condensing into roaring fire dragons, hissing Fire Phoenix, and galloping fire Kirin... The aura of the Heavenly Flames, which Supreme Yang and supreme rigidity and strong and could burn everything, was like pouring ice water into a boiling oil pot, or like throwing fresh meat into a calm wolf pack, instantly igniting the most intense reactions of all the Beast Soul and the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame!

"Roar--!" "Screech--!" "Awoo--!"

The Seven-Colored Lake was completely boiling!

Without the invisible suppression of the Half-Sage Skeleton, which acted as a Pillar of the Sea, the vast Blood Fiend Qi that had been accumulating deep within the lake and was forcibly restrained erupted like Fierce Beasts breaking free of its shackles after ten thousand years!

No longer were the waters rippling; instead, they surged and exploded violently like boiling oil! The magnificent seven-colored radiance was stained and swallowed up by streams of intensely red crimson gushing from the bottom of the lake.

In an instant, the entire lake seemed to transform into a pot of boiling, viscous blood! Crimson light shot into the sky, illuminating the heavens with an eerie and tragic scene.

"Boom--!"

A massive wave of blood, carrying a nauseating stench, surged and crashed like an endless crimson mountain range, one wave higher than the next!

It was no longer the splashing of lake water, but a deep, rumbling sound like a thousand horses galloping or countless Fierce Beasts roaring at the same time! This was no ordinary wave, but a real Blood Tsunami formed by the uncontrolled mixing of the purest Beast Soul Sectarian Qi and Life Source Energy!

Wherever the tsunami passed, the space trembled slightly. The pervasive blood and violence even temporarily overwhelmed the extreme yang energy of the Jade Profound Heart Flame, causing the temperature in this core area to drop sharply, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression and madness.

At the same time, countless illusory Beast Soul, whether dormant or bound, roared deafeningly, filled with violent and insane will, and rose into the sky in dense formation!

They came in various shapes and sizes, converging into a destructive gray-black torrent that blotted out the sky, carrying a terrifying aura capable of crushing all living beings. Like the Nether River of the Styx bursting its banks, it surged madly toward the core of the Flame Domain— Lin Ming —like an overwhelming tidal wave! Before the Beast Soul even arrived, the immense Sectarian Qi and lingering resentment that had gathered together had already formed an invisible Soul Storm, crashing down first!

The Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, as the core element, reacted with extreme intensity!

It sensed the same but more domineering and threatening Heavenly Flame Origin on Lin Ming's body, as well as his undisguised intention to conquer.

A burst of seven-colored light erupted with unprecedented intensity, and the enormous blood-red Giant Dragon's form surged and expanded violently within the light! The dragon scales became even clearer and more ferocious, each one seemingly composed of Congealed Blood and flames. The dragon claws tore through the void, and in the dragon's eyes, which were entirely composed of Golden Flame, only the purest rage and destructive desire remained!

It let out a roar that tore through the sky, and its enormous dragon body swung violently, blotting out the sun and carrying a terrifying aura that could incinerate all living things and cause space itself to distort and collapse.

Ignoring the entanglement of Elder Yao, it swooped down on Lin Ming like a falling crimson meteor with the most violent and direct force! Its mouth opened wide, and a crimson flame breath with a diameter of several meters, containing destructive energy, poured out like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, first blasting towards Lin Ming!

"Perfect timing! Just what I wanted!"

Faced with this devastating attack, Lin Ming showed no fear, but instead his eyes burned with overwhelming fighting spirit! He let out a long roar, his hands leaving afterimages in front of him, and his Dou Qi circulated rapidly according to the profound trajectory of the Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method.

"Five Rounds Leaving Fire Method, Five Spirits Manifest, Annihilation!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five colossal fiery figures materialized from the emerald Sea of Fire! The Wolf Spirit charged forward, leaving trails of fiery afterimages; the Spirit Leopard was elusive, concealing itself within the flames; the Spirit Lion was majestic, unleashing a deafening roar; the Spirit Tiger was ferocious, its pouncing power shaking the very soul; Spirit Dragon surged, whipping up a sky full of fiery waves! These five Flame Giant Spirit, like a loyal legion, fearlessly met the surging tide of Beast Soul, instantly colliding with it...
