45: True spirit soothes, order of the divine prison

That heavy fetal movement, imbued with "anger" and "control," was like a world-defining divine hammer at the dawn of Chaos, striking the core where Laws were being annihilated!

Hum—!

An invisible ripple swept across. The violent, mutually annihilating Law annihilation field between Su Wanzhao and the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal General experienced an instantaneous, absolute freeze! It was as if a boiling cauldron had been frozen solid in an instant! The dark nirvana star core's collapsed singularity and the golden Order Judgment Spear remained in their posture of mutual erosion, deadlocked in the Void Realm!

Su Wanzhao felt the invisible pressure that threatened to crush her Chaos Dao Body completely vanish, like a drowning person suddenly pulled out of the water. She gasped violently, and a tearing pain came from the depleted core of her Chaos Star Vortex, which had almost stopped spinning. But she could not care about herself; her clear star-like eyes, filled with unbelievable surprise, were cast fiercely toward the pulsing dao cocoon behind her!

On the dao cocoon, the naturally profound Chaos patterns were now flowing with a halo interwoven with deep Profound Yellow and Guixu. The cocoon wall no longer had a purely crystal texture but presented a strange "translucency," as if one could see the "Origin true spirit" light at its core, which was pulsing steadily and powerfully with an unprecedented rhythm!

dao cocoon Core - Smoother

"Hoo..."

Chen Feng's newly born true spirit, after experiencing the impact of the information torrent and reaching the critical point of near-collapse, finally completed a crucial transition. The fragmented, flooding information of the life plate did not disappear, but was organized and precipitated by an invisible force, no longer impacting violently, but becoming a profound Foundation imprinted deep within his true spirit. The ancient loneliness, the coldness of Guixu, the heaviness of Profound Yellow, and that familiar yet strange palpitation of the Origin all became part of his consciousness, no longer posing a threat, but instead bringing a strange perspective that could discern the Origin of all things.

Most crucially, he had finally initially "touched" a thread of the vast and mighty power of the guixu xuanhuang origin point!

It was not crude devouring, nor simple release. It was a higher level of—smoothing.

He could clearly "perceive" the flow of all energy and the entanglement and conflict of Laws inside and outside the dao cocoon. When Su Wanzhao's nirvana star core collapse collided with the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal General's Order Judgment Spear, triggering a violent Law annihilation storm, he instinctively realized that this annihilation itself was a waste of energy, a huge destruction to the stability of the dao cocoon and Su Wanzhao's Origin!

Thus, driven by the strong will to protect Su Wanzhao and resist the foreign enemy, he channeled the Origin power he had just comprehended deep within his true spirit. It was not an attack, but—smoothing conflicts, reconciling annihilation!

The core power of the guixu xuanhuang origin point, like the most gentle and inclusive Profound Yellow Mother Qi, silently permeated into the violent annihilation core. The power of Guixu did not devour, but "smoothed" the conflicting and annihilating Law energy, much like combing through tangled hemp; the power of Profound Yellow provided a heavy bearing, temporarily "wrapping" and "precipitating" the combed conflict energy, much like guiding a flood into a sturdy riverbed.

It was this instantaneous "smoothing" that caused the absolute freeze in the Law annihilation field! It gave Su Wanzhao a precious breathing space!

"Wanzhao!" Chen Feng's true spirit will passed through the dao cocoon, filled with anxiety and concern, clearly transmitted to Su Wanzhao's heart. He could feel the depletion of her Chaos Dao Body and the severe damage to her Origin!

"I'm fine!" Su Wanzhao forced herself to respond, the starlight in her eyes re-condensing. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, the hand seal she formed changed abruptly!

"Disperse!"

Following her low shout, the dark singularity (the remnant of the nirvana star core collapse) that had been forcibly "smoothed" and frozen by the Origin power collapsed inward to the limit, then exploded silently! It was not a destructive explosion, but transformed into billions of tiny, destructive Chaos star rays, like a reverse meteor shower, instantly rolling back and merging into her depleted Chaos Star Vortex core!

Pfft!

Su Wanzhao spat out another mouthful of blood mixed with starlight, her aura even more withered, and the light of her Chaos Dao Body almost extinguished. Forcibly retrieving the remnants of a move that exceeded her limits was itself a form of self-mutilation. But at this moment, it was the only way to preserve part of her Origin and avoid total collapse! The retrieved starlight was like a weak spark, barely maintaining the Chaos Star Vortex core, but it also left her temporarily completely unable to fight.

The Wrath of Order

The freeze of the Law annihilation field lasted only for an instant.

When Su Wanzhao dispersed the nirvana star core collapse and retrieved her remaining Origin, the "smoothed" Order Judgment Spear, like a Vicious Beast breaking free from invisible shackles, instantly regained its terrifying edge that could freeze time and space and end all things!

Chhi—!

The golden light spear lost its obstruction, and with a more violent judgment will after being briefly "smoothed," it tore through the Void Realm and stabbed directly at Su Wanzhao! Before the tip arrived, the pure power of Order erasure had already made the weak starlight Su Wanzhao had just barely condensed flicker and fade! She was even unable to condense a shred of defense, and could only watch helplessly as the golden light of death rapidly magnified in her field of vision!

"No—!" Inside the dao cocoon, Chen Feng's true spirit let out a silent roar! Anger and powerlessness almost swallowed him! The "smoothing" power he had just comprehended appeared so pale and weak in the face of this pure, unstoppable Order erasure! He needed time! He needed to control the Origin more deeply! He needed to completely fuse with the primordial qi true seed of xuanhuang!

Just at this critical moment, the instant before Su Wanzhao was about to be completely erased by the Order Judgment Spear—

Hum!

A thick, tough, and ancient protective Xuanhuang light curtain rose without warning from the ground in front of Su Wanzhao! The light curtain was as solid as a wall, its surface flowing with gentle yet indestructible Profound Yellow Qi, emitting an immortal aura that protected one side and carried all things!

Boom!!!

The Order Judgment Spear stabbed fiercely onto the Xuanhuang light curtain!

A piercing sound of metal friction and Law cracking exploded! The Xuanhuang light curtain shook violently, countless spiderweb-like cracks appearing on its surface, and its heavy light dimmed rapidly! But it was not pierced through instantly! The pure golden power of judgment was firmly blocked and worn down by the tough "bearing" characteristic of the Xuanhuang light curtain!

"What?!" The Heaven-Patrolling Immortal General's indifferent golden eyes showed a clear ripple for the first time, carrying a trace of shock. The power of this Xuanhuang light curtain... was pure and ancient! It was definitely not something this severely injured woman with a Chaos Dao Body could display!

Su Wanzhao was also stunned, and then she suddenly realized something, her gaze instantly cast toward the dao cocoon!

dao cocoon Core

Chen Feng's true spirit, in anger and anxiety, locked his intent tightly onto the Order Judgment Spear that was about to pierce Su Wanzhao! He wanted to block it! He wanted to attack! But his newly born true spirit's control over the Origin power was extremely limited; "smoothing" seemed to be the limit!

Just at this desperate juncture, the part of the life plate imprint fragments deep within his true spirit related to "Profound Yellow" suddenly became incomparably clear! A vague "protection" intent, originating from deep within the imprint and seemingly from Bloodline instinct, resonated with his strong will to protect Su Wanzhao at this moment like never before!

At the same time, he "saw" it! Inside the dao cocoon, the primordial qi true seed of xuanhuang, which had fused more than eighty percent, was emitting a gentle and heavy light! This light was of the same Origin as the Xuanhuang light curtain that had suddenly risen outside!

It was Zhang Shouzhuo!

It was the last protective will that Zhang Shouzhuo had integrated into the Origin! Under the resonance between Chen Feng's strong protective intent and the primordial qi true seed of xuanhuang, this nearly exhausted will miraculously communicated with the vast Xuanhuang Origin within the dao cocoon, and through the deep connection between the dao cocoon and the disintegrating earth of the Xuanhuang Realm, forcibly extracted the remaining leyline protective power, condensing this life-saving Xuanhuang light wall in front of Su Wanzhao at the critical moment!

"Senior Brother Shou Zhuo!" Chen Feng's true spirit trembled. After guiding the stripping of the true seed and impacting the Immortal Curse shackles, this will had actually burned itself again before completely dissipating, protecting Su Wanzhao!

Boom! Crackle—!

The Xuanhuang light wall was, after all, created in haste and had withstood the full blow of the Order Judgment Spear, so it only lasted less than a breath before it exploded with a roar under the cold gaze of the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal General! It transformed into Xuanhuang light dots scattering across the sky.

But this one breath of time won was enough!

The Order Judgment Spear shattered the light wall, its momentum undiminished, but its target was lost!

At the moment the light wall rose, Su Wanzhao had used her last strength, her body turning into a dim stream of starlight, dangerously brushing past the edge of the spear tip, and flying backward, crashing into the protective halo interwoven with Profound Yellow and Guixu emitted by the dao cocoon behind her! The egg wall of the dao cocoon rippled like water, accepting her.

Pfft!

Su Wanzhao fell heavily into a relatively "calm" area inside the dao cocoon, spat out another mouthful of blood, her aura weak to the extreme, her Chaos Dao Body covered in fine cracks, her Origin core dim like a candle in the wind, almost completely extinguished. She struggled to sit cross-legged and immediately fell into the deepest meditation to heal, unable to spare even a shred of intent. If it weren't for the gentle vitality emitted by the primordial qi true seed of xuanhuang inside the dao cocoon nourishing her last bit of Origin, she would have long since perished.

The Heaven-Patrolling Immortal General slowly withdrew the Order Judgment Spear that had stabbed into empty air. His massive body, condensed from Laws, floated above the disintegration layer, his cold golden eyes indifferently sweeping over the dao cocoon that had sheltered Su Wanzhao, and then over the remaining Xuanhuang light fragments after the Xuanhuang light wall below shattered.

"Residual will... Xuanhuang Remnant Clan... Dao-stealing bastard..." The cold intent had no ripples, but carried the indifference of seeing through everything. "Struggling on the brink of death, merely adding to the joke."

He seemed to have completely lost patience. In his indifferent golden eyes, a kind of absolute, unquestionable judgment will appeared for the first time.

He no longer targeted Su Wanzhao, nor did he merely lock onto the dao cocoon. He slowly opened his arms!

Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

Four golden light pillars, purely condensed from Order Laws, like giant pillars supporting heaven and earth, suddenly descended from the sky, nailing into the Void Realm in four directions around the dao cocoon! Between the light pillars, countless extremely complex golden Order divine patterns appeared out of thin air, intertwined, and spread, instantly forming a huge golden cubic cage that completely enveloped the entire dao cocoon and the space of several thousand zhang around it!

The moment the cage was formed, the space inside seemed to be completely stripped away! The violent Chaos storm, the disintegrating energy flow, and even the sense of the passage of time instantly solidified and disappeared! Only absolute, dead, cold Order remained! An irresistible power of "stripping" and "refining" radiated from every inch of the cage's walls, permeating toward the dao cocoon in the center!

This power was not destruction, but to forcibly strip the "Origin true spirit" being gestated within the dao cocoon from the level of Laws! To refine the "Forbidden Dao Fruit" it contained into the purest source Law power! Like the most skilled craftsman wanting to decompose a natural treasure into raw Materials!

The profound Chaos patterns on the surface of the dao cocoon instantly became dim, and the rhythm of the pulsing appeared disordered for the first time! Chen Feng's newly condensed true spirit immediately felt a bone-chilling sensation of "stripping," as if the Foundation of his existence was being forcibly pried and decomposed by an invisible carving knife! The operation of the guixu xuanhuang origin point core singularity was also subjected to unprecedented interference! The circulation of the power of Profound Yellow and Guixu became difficult, and the speed of Fusion with the primordial qi true seed of xuanhuang plummeted!

System Tag: Chaos Giant Egg State - dao cocoon Form (Undergoing Order Stripping/Refining)! Energy Level (Suppressed)! Law Fusion (Stagnant/Interfered)! Core true spirit (Chen Feng) - Suffering Law Stripping Impact! Countdown: 03:00:00 (Critical Point of Xuanhuang Realm's Complete Annihilation)!

"Stripping... Refining..." The Heaven-Patrolling Immortal General's cold intent echoed in the dead space of the order god prison. "The fruit of stealing the Dao shall return to the Celestial Court Edict."

Inside the dao cocoon, Chen Feng's true spirit floated in the cold sensation of stripping. He could feel Su Wanzhao was not far away, her aura as weak as a thread, struggling to maintain under the nourishment of the dao cocoon's vitality. He could feel the call of the primordial qi true seed of xuanhuang, just one last step away from complete Fusion! He could feel the vast and boundless power of the guixu xuanhuang origin point, yet it was as if it were imprisoned layer by layer by this order god prison!

Anger! Unyielding! Protection! And an extreme thirst for power! Once again burned fiercely deep within his true spirit!

"Celestial Court Edict? order god prison?" Chen Feng's true spirit will let out a silent roar in the cold sensation of stripping, and the precipitated life plate imprint fragments were triggered again, especially the dead, cold sensation of the "Sea of Guixu" among them, which produced a strange confrontation and resonance with the coldness of the order god prison at this moment.

"Want to refine me? Want to take away Wanzhao's last vitality? Want to destroy this newborn Origin?" The pulsing of the true spirit suddenly accelerated, carrying a determination to burn the boats. "Then let's see if your Immortal Court's order god prison is stronger, or if my Origin fetal movement—with the universe as the plate, Guixu as the seal, and Profound Yellow as the Foundation—can shake these eternal shackles more!"

Deep in the true spirit, the "smoothing" power he had just comprehended surged again, but this time, it was not gentle combing, but an explosive pulsation originating from the critical point of birth and destruction, accumulated to the extreme! The target was aimed directly at the penetrating Order stripping power!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Inside the dao cocoon, the heavy and violent sound of fetal movement, like the heartbeat of an ancient giant beast unwilling to be imprisoned, carried an anger that tore everything apart, and in the dead silence of the order god prison, it boomed! Every pulse slammed fiercely against the invisible Order barrier! The entire golden cubic cage experienced its first visible—trembling!

The countdown to the disintegration of the Xuanhuang Realm was frozen at a cold—03:00:00. The final game between destruction and rebirth entered its most tragic white-hot stage within the cage of the order god prison!
