Chi Jun's eyes were bloodshot. He stood in the center of the formation, his Fate Soul structure burned to its Limit, and large silver-white primal cracks spread along his skin. The sand sea beneath his feet was collapsing madly, while the huge Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Wheel in the sky kept emitting a rumbling sound as if it were about to break apart, but he still held on desperately.
"Power up the Limitless Evolving True Flow --!!!" He roared, his voice causing the surrounding white mist to surge wildly. In the next instant, all the Chi Lineage disciples erupted simultaneously.
Boom!!! The Fate Soul manifested simultaneously, and the entire Desert of Forgetting was instantly illuminated by various primal radiances. Nine layers of silver patterns appeared between the brows of some people, and huge ancient Fate Soul wheels manifested behind others.
Someone was bound by chains of cause and effect. Shen Qingchen suddenly unfurled Blank Dao Scroll with both hands. On the scroll, large areas of blank life patterns began to burn. A long river of Xuan Kong composed of blank Mystic Void rushed into the core of the formation. Su Qingyuan took a step forward. She pressed down hard on the Sheathless Blade with one hand. Buzz! Tens of thousands of fine blade marks instantly appeared in the entire space.
Her Fate Soul was compressed wildly, eventually transforming into an extremely pure "Pre-Origin Saber Intent" that poured into the array's core. On the other side, Chi Linyuan's eyes had already turned silver-white. He pressed his hands to the ground, and countless Mystic Void Realm Patterns spread wildly. The entire Desert of Forgetting began to rumble, and a large number of dormant Realm Rules were forcibly awakened.
The other Chi Lineage disciples also burned their own origins at the same time, and a large amount of Limitless Evolving True Flow formed a silvery-white torrent that Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Formation. The entire formation began to operate wildly. The Ninefold Return to the Ruins Heavenly Wheels in the sky was already dazzlingly bright, and the entire world seemed to be completely covered by the silvery-white Fate Soul structure. However—in the distance, the second form of the Breathing White Bones appeared.
But it slowly lowered its head, and its hundred-foot-tall, pale skeletal body became unusually quiet. The two huge, transparent lungs in the center of its chest suddenly stopped beating. The whole world fell silent instantly; the wind stopped, the sand stopped, and even the Limitless Evolving True Flow flowing within everyone's bodies seemed to slow down for a moment. The Breathing White Bones body slowly raised its arms. Six huge skeletal limbs opened simultaneously.
Its ribcage began to close inward. Crack... crack... crack... the sound of the joints contracting echoed like the tolling of a death knell, while its two lungs were expanding wildly, growing larger and larger. In just a few breaths, the lung lobes had expanded to ten times their original size, and countless fine cracks began to crawl across the surface of the lung lobes. And the entire Desert of Forgetting—
The collapse began with a deafening roar! Hundreds of sand dunes in the distance were uprooted at the same time, the clouds in the sky began to crack, and the earth split open into abysses tens of thousands of feet deep. Everyone's expression changed drastically, and a strange sense of detachment swept over their entire bodies, skipping over their physical bodies and the foundation of their Fate Soul, and pointing directly to the most fundamental core of existence.
The Breathing White Bones slowly opened their enormous, faceless fissures. For the first time, a hollow voice truly shook the heavens and earth. "Nothingness..." "Life..." "Of..." "Abyss..." Boom!!!!! The next instant, the two lungs in the center of its chest suddenly expanded, inhaling. The entire world collapsed. There was no wind, yet a "void" a thousand times more terrifying than the wind itself.
The entire world seemed to have suddenly lost a piece, and that missing piece was frantically devouring everything. Boom!! Hundreds of thousands of miles of sand sea instantly rose into the air. Countless grains of sand formed a gray-white torrent that blotted out the sky. A large number of Blue Flame Demon Wolf didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were stretched into long strips of light and shadow, flying directly into the chest cavity of the Breathing White Bones. The sky shattered.
Vast areas of space collapsed like shattered mirrors, even the light in the distant void was forcibly sucked into the Chi Lineage's formation, causing it to vibrate wildly. A large number of Fate Soul chains snapped on the spot. "Stabilize--!!!" Chi Jun roared until his voice became hoarse. But the next instant, Boom!!!! The suction force slammed into the Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Formation.
The entire formation instantly emitted a deafening roar as it collapsed under the immense pressure Ninefold Return to the Ruins Heavenly Wheels in the sky began to crack wildly, with huge fissures spreading outwards. Numerous formation patterns shattered one after another. Shen Qingchen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Blank Dao Scroll was almost torn to shreds. Su Qingyuan knelt heavily on one knee, her hand holding the knife already a bloody mess.
The other disciples fared even worse; several were directly thrown away by the suction force. Some had cracks in their Fate Soul burst open instantly, while others coughed up blood from their seven orifices. The entire Chi Lineage team was severely injured. Meanwhile, the suction force of the Breathing White Bones was still increasing, and the entire Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Formation Nothingness Formation had begun to truly collapse. Large sections of Fate Soul structures continued to shatter, and Chi Jun's eyes turned completely bloodshot.
He suddenly reached into his robes and pulled out an ancient talisman. The talisman was entirely black, yet its surface flowed with silvery-white Fate Soul runes. The moment it appeared, the surrounding space began to disintegrate on its own. A mad glint flashed in Chi Jun's eyes. "Hold on!!!..." "Just a little more..." "Give me a little more time!!!" Boom!!!
He slammed the talisman down into the core of the formation. In an instant, a pitch-black halo, never before seen before, suddenly rose from the core of the Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Formation. This Ultimate darkness was the original color of the realm's rules returning to zero. The entire world trembled violently, and even though all the disciples of the Chi Lineage were already spitting out blood.
Their Fate Soul shattered, yet they clung desperately to the formation, for they all knew that if the formation collapsed, everyone would be swallowed whole by the divine beast supreme being and plunged into the "Abyss of Lifelessness."
Suddenly, the Breathing White Bones stopped all movement. The massive gray-white skeletal body stood silently in the center of the Desert of Forgetting. For the first time, the translucent lobes of its chest completely stopped breathing. The entire world fell into deathly silence in an instant. The wind stopped, the sand stopped, and even the Fate Soul patterns that were frantically flowing above the Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Formation seemed to freeze for a moment, as if the entire world had been suppressed by some ancient and deeper force that held down the very existence of itself.
The next instant, its outward-curving ribs began to slowly open, the joints rubbing together with an ear-piercing sound. One by one, the stark white bone spurs split open like blooming petals of death, exposing the enormous, translucent lung in the center of its chest cavity to the world. The surface of the lung was densely covered with grayish-white sand grains, each grain reflecting the remnant of a long-forgotten world.
There were collapsing divine realms, annihilated galaxies, kneeling and wailing beings, and ancient civilizations long since erased by the structure of time and cause and effect Breathing White Bones slowly lowered its head, and the gray-white flames deep within its empty eye sockets suddenly extinguished. It aimed at its own chest and let out an extremely dry "cough--".
The moment that sound rang out, the Fate Soul of all cultivators in the Desert of Forgetting trembled simultaneously. Shen Qingchen's expression changed drastically, and blood suddenly seeped from the palm of his hand holding the Blank Dao Scroll. Su Qingyuan gripped the Sheathless Blade tightly, her pupils trembling, because she realized that she had briefly forgotten what the action of "drawing the sword" meant.
At the same time, the enormous, translucent lung lobe was forcibly "coughed out" by the Breathing White Bones, hovering in the center of the sky. The Breathing White Bones itself began to crumble, first the finger bones turning into grayish-white powder, then the arm bones, ribs, and spine shattered one after another. Large swathes of bone ash rushed towards the lung lobe like a blizzard, adhering to it. The lung then expanded wildly, growing from the size of a mountain to a size that blotted out the sky in just a few breaths, covering the entire firmament.
Countless cracks began to appear on the surface of the lungs, from which a grayish-white "light of oblivion" slowly seeped. The light was not bright, but it caused everyone's memories to tremble violently at the same time. Some disciples suddenly forgot their names, some forgot why they came to the Desert of Forgetting, and some looked down at the divine artifact in their hands, showing an extremely blank expression.
The next instant, that lung that blotted out the sky exploded with a deafening roar. There was no sound because "sound" had been forgotten; there was no light because "light" had been forgotten.
An imperceptible ripple of oblivion suddenly swept across the land. As the ripple passed over heaven and earth, all things in the world collapsed and returned to an unknown form that had never been defined. Distant mountains vanished from the world before they could collapse, and the sea of sand disappeared without a trace before it could sink. The cracks in the laws of the sky were completely obliterated before they could even appear.
All things in the world vanished silently, and nothing in the world could leave any trace of their existence. The entire Desert of Forgetting began to become transparent, as if the earth was being slowly wiped away by an invisible giant hand. The Limitless Evolving True Flow between heaven and earth began to dissipate on a large scale, and even "nothingness" lost its concept of attachment.
The ripples of oblivion continued to spread outwards, and the entire Desert of Forgetting fell into an indescribable state of final oblivion. This region broke free from the shackles of emptiness and nothingness, transforming into an absolute unknown where even nothingness itself had nowhere to dwell.
All the Fate Soul that ventured into this place instantly lost their instinct to investigate, and even their initial intention to investigate vanished without a trace. The remaining ashes of the Breathing White Bones slowly dissolved, leaving only a tiny gray-white dust in the void, condensing its last obsession in this life. The dust slowly swirled in mid-air, silently overlooking the vast world, and then gradually lost its form, returning to transparency.
In that instant, Chi Jun's eyes turned completely bloodshot. "I'll fight you to the death!!!" Boom!!!!!!
His True Annihilation Realm essence suddenly erupted, and large areas of silver-white essence cracks instantly covered his entire body. His skin cracked in large areas, and blood flowed wildly down his arms. The Fate Soul structure in his body began to burn beyond its capacity, and his whole body was like a Fate Soul Nucleus that was collapsing.
He pressed his hands firmly against the center of the Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Formation, causing the entire formation to tremble violently. Simultaneously, the Ninefold Return to the Ruins Wheel in the sky emitted a deafening roar, countless array patterns began to reverse wildly, and vast swathes of space were torn into billions of fragments. Chi Jun roared, his voice distorting the heavens and earth. "Open!!!!"
With a thunderous roar, the forbidden talisman paper pasted in the center of the array suddenly burst into flames, and an indescribable Return to the Ruins descended upon the world.
The entire Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Formation began its final transformation. The Ninefold Return to the Ruins Heavenly Wheels shattered simultaneously, and a large number of Fate Soul structures rearranged and recombined, ultimately forming a "Return to the Ruins Shattered Wheel" covering tens of thousands of miles in the center of the sky.
At the center of the roulette wheel was an absolutely pitch-black "Final Ruins," while countless silver-white Fate Soul patterns flowed around its perimeter. Each pattern was evolving the fundamental logic of the "Return to the Ruins," and the entire world was being forcibly dragged into the "Final Return to the Ruins Form."
Blood streamed from Chi Jun's eyes, and his bones were shattering, yet he still desperately held up the array's core, his roar shaking the heavens and earth, "Myriad Evolutions Return to the Ruins Formation — Final Return to the Ruins Form, the Return to the Ruins Final Realm!!!"
