341: Kill the Holy Son of Withered Glory

"With my Life and Death dao foundation, I sacrifice the ten thousand bones of Wither and Flourish! Dark Abyss corrodes the Soul, eternal sorrow for all ages!" The Wither and Flourish Saint formed an extremely vicious dharma seal with both hands. The entire Life and Death Bone City shook violently! Countless bone guards, and even those massive skeletal planets, let out shrill wails. Their Soul fires and bone essences were forcibly extracted, turning into billions of gray-white torrents of deathly silence, surging madly into the altar! At the same time, at the bottom of the altar, a "Withered Eye" composed of Dark Abyss Demonic Energy, dripping with filthy liquid, slowly opened, locking onto Lin Yuan!

A terrifying power of curse, sufficient to make an ordinary Peak Hunyuan Realm expert instantly age, decay, and suffer Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, mixed with the erosion of the Dark Abyss, like billions of invisible poisonous thorns, crossed space and instantly enveloped Lin Yuan and the Origin Guards behind him!

"Insignificant tricks!" Lin Yuan's eyes turned sharp. In his Sea of Consciousness, the primordial azure lotus dao embryo shone with brilliant green light, and the Universe birth-and-death patterns on his primal dao bone circulated frantically!

Hum!

An invisible Heavenly Dao barrier appeared instantly!

Chi chi chi—!

The terrifying Wither and Flourish Soul-corroding curse and the Dark Abyss erosion power slammed into the barrier, like ice and snow meeting a scorching sun, melting and annihilating frantically, unable to harm Lin Yuan in the slightest! However, the Origin Guards behind him, despite the reinforcement of the dao stele and the damage reduction of their Chaos bodies, still felt their Qi and blood churning, their Souls stinging, and their movements involuntarily faltered.

"This is it! Die!" Seizing the moment when Lin Yuan was resisting the curse power, the Wither and Flourish Saint caused the polluted and fused Life and Death dao patterns to erupt with blinding gray-purple light! His entire body transformed into a beam of destruction intertwined with withered Death Qi and Dark Abyss Demonic Energy, like a moth to a flame, carrying the madness of mutual destruction, shooting straight at Lin Yuan! The speed was so fast, the power so strong, that it had reached the level of a forced Breakthrough to the Early Stage of the Saint Realm! This was his ultimate strike, burning his life, dao foundation, and the power of Dark Abyss pollution!

Facing this life-sacrificing strike, not only was there no fear in Lin Yuan's eyes, but a cold mockery flashed across them instead. He did not dodge, nor did he activate immunity again, but slowly raised the chaos heavenly extreme sword in his hand.

On the sword body, the Chaos Return to Ruin power was no longer restrained, but surged and roared like a boiling galaxy! The phantom of the grandmist dao source divine seal appeared at the hilt, drawing the power of the entire Chaos Origin City across the void to bolster it! Six complete Dao true meanings (Chaos, Life and Death, Soul, Time, Return to Ruin, Devour) merged perfectly on the sword edge, finally all converging into that one point of ultimate Return to Ruin Sword Intent!

"Your struggle ends here."

"Chaos · Return to Ruin · Burial of Dao!"

Lin Yuan thrust his sword out! There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a deathly silence that ended all Laws and buried the Dao! Wherever the sword tip passed, space, time, energy, and even the Life and Death Law and Dark Abyss Demonic Energy contained in the beam of destruction launched by the Wither and Flourish Saint, were all like being thrown into the final Return to Ruin, silently beginning to disintegrate and annihilate!

That seemingly world-destroying gray-purple beam, the moment it touched the tip of the chaos heavenly extreme sword, shattered and dissipated inch by inch like fragile glass! The sword edge did not slow down, ignoring the Wither and Flourish shield, bone armor, and the viscous Dark Abyss pollution power automatically triggered on the Wither and Flourish Saint's body, and precisely struck the very center of the polluted and fused Life and Death dao patterns on his brow!

Crack—!!!

A crisp, heart-palpitating shattering sound rang out!

The Wither and Flourish Saint's frenzied, resentful expression instantly froze, replaced by boundless fear and confusion. The gray-purple Life and Death dao patterns on his brow, like inferior glass struck by a heavy hammer, were instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and then... exploded with a boom!

"Im...possible..." The Wither and Flourish Saint spat out a few words with difficulty, the light in his eyes rapidly dimming. The Wither and Flourish Life and Death power that constituted his body lost the control of the dao patterns and instantly went out of control! The decayed half of his body accelerated its disintegration, turning into fly ash; the "vibrant" half of his body swelled and twisted frantically as if inflated, countless dark green pustules burst open, flowing with filthy demonic blood!

Boom—!!! In the end, with a dull explosion, the Wither and Flourish Saint, along with the evil altar beneath him and that "Withered Eye" that had just opened, were completely torn apart and annihilated by the out-of-control Wither and Flourish power, the rampaging Dark Abyss Demonic Energy, and the ultimate Return to Ruin power remaining at the tip of Lin Yuan's sword! Not even a trace of his Soul escaped!

[Killed the Wither and Flourish Holy Land Saint (Pseudo-Saint Realm), destroyed the core of the Life and Death Bone City! Completely annihilated the Wither and Flourish Holy Land forces! Meritorious deeds cover the world!]

[Awarded merit points: 3 billion points!]

[Current merit points: 16.87 billion points!]

[slaughter value settlement: Total slaughter value obtained: 2 billion points!]

[Extra reward: Cleared major internal hidden dangers, stabilized Divine Realm order, obtained permanent status "Order Guardian": Territory public security +100%, implicit increase in subordinate loyalty, defense +50% when encountering rebellions!]

[The remaining Luck of the Wither and Flourish Holy Land was devoured and absorbed by the Chaos Origin City, territory characteristic "Dao Affinity" permanently increased by 10%!]

With the complete annihilation of the Wither and Flourish Saint, the entire Life and Death Bone City seemed to have lost its Soul. The remaining bone guards instantly collapsed, turning into a pile of dry bones. The gray, decayed Death Qi that permeated the Star Domain began to slowly dissipate. This evil city, symbolizing death and distortion, had completely become history.

Lin Yuan withdrew his sword and stood, the chaos heavenly extreme sword emitting a clear sword hum, as if rejoicing in having drunk the blood of the enemy chieftain. He looked around at this Star Domain that was rapidly "purifying," feeling the surging power within his body and the skyrocketing resources in the star city lord token.

After this battle, the greatest tumor of internal trouble had been removed, clearing the biggest obstacle for the establishment of the Chaos Star Alliance. More importantly, the madness and fall of the Wither and Flourish Saint would, in the bloodiest way possible, proclaim to all lords: those who submit to me will prosper, those who resist will perish! Anyone who hinders the path of the Star Continent or colludes with the Dark Abyss will only face death!

"Pass the order!" Lin Yuan's voice resounded through the fleet and, through the authority of the star city lord, was transmitted to the distant Chaos Origin City, Imperial Dao Dragon City, and Life Sanctuary.

"The Life and Death Bone City Star Domain is incorporated into the territory of Chaos Origin City! Activate the myriad dao furnace to purify and reshape this domain!"

"Announce to the Taichu Divine Continent: The Wither and Flourish Saint colluded with the Dark Abyss, intending to subvert the Divine Realm, and has been executed on the spot by this seat, body and Soul destroyed! Life and Death Bone City is from now on delisted! I will report to the Tianyuan Dynasty to thoroughly investigate all the accomplices of the Wither and Flourish Saint in the Taichu Divine Continent. Anyone involved will be killed without exception!"

"Three days later, at Chaos Origin City, we will convene the 'Star City Alliance'! This seat will proclaim the Star Continent map and discuss the future of the Divine Realm together! All those who aspire to protect Taichu and jointly forge the Star Continent are welcome to attend!"

As the order was issued, the Chaos fleet, like a victorious lion, began to sweep the battlefield and establish new order nodes.

Lin Yuan's gaze turned to the regions deep within the Divine Realm that were shrouded in mist. He knew that clearing internal troubles was only the first step. The Star City Alliance would lay the foundation for integration, and next, he would embark on that Secret Realm path leading to supreme power!! The throne of the Star Continent lord, and the supreme fortune of the Hongmeng Origin World a hundred years later, he was determined to obtain!
