50: A Starry Sky Boat, Returning to the Shadow of the Mountains

nirvana star dome: Maiden Voyage

The newborn Primal Chaos Nebula rotated quietly in the Sea of Nothingness, like a miniature cosmic embryo. At the core of the nebula, the Singularity established by Chen Feng's guixu xuanhuang origin point emitted a stable and inclusive Dao rhythm, becoming the absolute center of this nascent “Pure Land.” The flowing halo and trajectory of the nebula were the net of laws woven by Su Wanzhao's nirvana guixu star core power, firmly isolating the external savage chaos and the Guixu Devouring Power.

Chen Feng and Su Wanzhao hovered above the nebula, like the sun and moon suspended over this nascent star vault. The aura of the guixu xuanhuang origin point's True Spirit was profound and vast, while the power of the Nirvana Guixu Dao Body was ethereal and resilient. Their fusion formed the core source of order and power for the star vault.

"The star vault is newly established, and its foundation is solid." Chen Feng's Chaotic Eyes swept across this newborn world. His Guixu Left Eye reflected the silent spread of the Ruin's Abyss Shadow in the external nothingness, while his Xuanhuang Right Eye observed the flow of every wisp of energy and the weaving of laws within the nebula. "However, this place is ultimately a Graveyard of Nothingness after the Xuanhuang's annihilation, and the Guixu Devouring Power is ever-present. This is not a place for us to stay long, nor is it a permanent Dao Field."

He looked at Su Wanzhao beside him: "Senior Brother Shou Zhuo guarded it with his life, guiding us to the Xuanhuang Remnant Clan's Ancestral Land, Guicang Mountain... This is our chance to break the deadlock, and it is also our responsibility to carry on the legacy."

In Su Wanzhao's clear, cold Star Eyes, the dark Star Vortex slowly revolved, with a core point of Xuanhuang vitality as solid as rock. She nodded slightly, her Post-Nirvana Dao Body emitting a calm and powerful aura: "The Xuanhuang Remnant Clan, the Mountain Guard Lineage... Since Senior Brother Shou Zhuo's protective will guides us, Guicang Mountain must have unique features. Perhaps it can evade the Immortal Court's spies, allow us a temporary respite, and solve the mystery of our origins." She paused, gazing at the stable Singularity at the nebula's core, "Following the ruins abyss imprint, we shall use this nebula as a foundation to forge an ark... and cross the sea!"

"Good!" A sharp light flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. Their minds were connected; no more words were needed.

Forging the star dome ark: Origin Point as the Core

Chen Feng pressed his hands down virtually, and the immense power of the guixu xuanhuang origin point descended with a roar, enveloping the entire newborn Primal Chaos Nebula!

"Condense!"

Where his will reached, the originally dispersed and flowing nebula suddenly collapsed inward and condensed! It was like cosmic dust collapsing into a star under gravity. Countless strands of pure Chaos Source Energy, the stable spatial law framework, and the net of Dao rhythm laws woven by the power of the Nirvana Star Vortex, were forcibly compressed and shaped under the absolute control of the Origin Point's great power!

Buzz—!

The nebula's light intensified, and its form changed drastically! Its main body rapidly condensed and elongated, transforming into the silhouette of an ancient yet streamlined ark, about a hundred *zhang* long! The ark's body displayed the color of Primal Chaos. Its surface was naturally branded with the dark patterns of Guixu and the profound maxims of Xuanhuang, emitting a unique Dao rhythm that embraced all existence and shattered all laws.

Su Wanzhao acted simultaneously, forming seals with her hands, the light of the nirvana guixu star core flowing across her chest.

"Star Vortex Barrier... Solidify!"

The power of the deep Dark Star Vortex surged from her hands, like the most resilient threads, wrapping and imprinting layer upon layer onto the silhouette of the forming ark! Wherever the power of the Star Vortex reached, the ark's body became more solid and durable. Countless tiny, rotating Dark Star Vortex phantoms appeared on the surface, forming a flowing Star Vortex Barrier that possessed both the power of annihilation and protection! At the core of the barrier, the light of Xuanhuang vitality was deeply branded onto the key nodes of the ark's keel, providing an endless source of Protective Essence.

The core power and soul of this "ark" were precisely the guixu xuanhuang origin point Singularity established by Chen Feng at the center of the nebula! At this moment, this Singularity had perfectly merged into the ark's innermost keel, acting as the ship's heart and engine, continuously emitting the great power of harmonizing chaos and stabilizing space!

The star dome ark of Nirvana—Forged!

The ark floated quietly in the Sea of Nothingness. Its appearance was not that of a mundane vessel, but rather like an elongated Primal Chaos Star wrapped in the Star Vortex Barrier. It had no sails, no oars; its very existence was a silent declaration against this chaotic nothingness.

Chen Feng and Su Wanzhao moved slightly and stood at the bow of the ark. With a thought from Chen Feng, the star dome ark silently activated. The Primal Chaos light at the bow faintly lit up, effortlessly pushing aside the surging Chaos Undercurrents ahead, carving a stable trajectory through the absolute nothingness.

Crossing the Sea by Following the Imprint: Ruin's Abyss Undercurrents

"cosmic destiny plate, ruins abyss imprint... Guide the way!" Chen Feng stood at the bow, his Chaotic Eyes locking onto the deep imprint within his True Spirit. He no longer passively sensed the call from the depths of the Sea of Guixu, but actively infused a wisp of pure Origin Point power into the imprint, like lighting a lighthouse, clearly pointing towards the direction from which the call originated—that was both the coordinate in the depths of the Sea of Guixu and the general direction where Zhang Shouzhuo's protective will had anchored the Xuanhuang Remnant Clan's Ancestral Land, Guicang Mountain!

Buzz!

The ruins abyss imprint glowed intensely. An invisible "Dao Beacon," clearly perceptible only to Chen Feng, pierced through layers of chaotic Spatial Faults and energy turbulence like a dashed line crossing the void, pointing toward a certain direction deep within the Sea of Guixu.

"Course set!" Chen Feng transmitted his thoughts. The guixu xuanhuang origin point Singularity at the core of the star dome ark trembled slightly, and immense Origin Point power propelled the ark, accelerating sharply along the guidance of the invisible Dao Beacon! The Primal Chaos light at the bow broke through the nothingness, and the Star Vortex Barrier revolved, silently annihilating and devouring the Chaos Undercurrents encountered along the way, converting them into propulsion power.

The journey was not smooth sailing.

The nothingness at the edge of the Sea of Guixu was far more perilous and unpredictable than the area formed by the Xuanhuang's annihilation.

Ruin's Abyss Undercurrents: These were no longer savage chaotic energy, but invisible gravitational vortices containing cold, deathly silent will. They were like the mouths of giant beasts lurking in the void, silently tearing at the star dome ark's trajectory. If not for the guixu xuanhuang origin point stabilizing the core and the Star Vortex Barrier protecting the hull, ordinary Magic Treasures or even Immortal Artifacts would instantly be shredded and devoured by these undercurrents, plunging into the eternal Ruin's Abyss.

Nirvana Law Storms: Occasionally, terrifying storms sweeping across the entire void area would be encountered. The storms were not energy turbulence, but were composed of shattered, pure fragments of the laws of "End," "Demise," and "Nirvana"! These Law Fragments acted like invisible millions of blades, frantically cutting the Star Vortex Barrier, producing a grating, zizzling sound. Each cut attempted to strip the very concept of "existence" from the star dome ark! Su Wanzhao fully activated the nirvana guixu star core. Dark Star Light flowed over the Star Vortex Barrier, forcibly shredding, annihilating, and partially assimilating the incoming Nirvana Law Fragments, converting them into the barrier's own strength. Chen Feng, meanwhile, controlled the Origin Point power to smooth the trajectory disturbed by the storm, ensuring the ark's stability.

Space-Time Mirage: During the voyage, the surrounding nothingness would occasionally twist, revealing bizarre, fragmented scenes—perhaps the final wail of some unknown world before destruction, the tragic residual image of an ancient God or Demon falling, or even vague omens of some future destruction... These mirages carried strong mental pollution and a sense of space-time disorder, attempting to drag the consciousness of intruders into eternal chaos. In Chen Feng's Chaotic Eyes, Guixu and Xuanhuang flowed, easily piercing through the illusions and protecting his and Su Wanzhao's consciousness. Su Wanzhao's Nirvana Guixu Dao Body also possessed strong resistance to mental erosion; a slight turn of her star core annihilated the intrusive chaotic thoughts.

Every crisis was a refinement for the star dome ark, and a test of Chen Feng and Su Wanzhao's mastery of their new powers and their growing synergy. The Primal Chaos Dao Patterns on the ark's surface became clearer and more condensed during the confrontations, and the Star Vortex Barrier's dark light deepened after assimilating the Nirvana Law Fragments.

The voyage was timeless. In this chaotic edge of Guixu, only the Dao Beacon of the ruins abyss imprint and the stable pulsation of the core Origin Point Singularity served as the sole measure of distance.

crime hunting star ark: Law-Edict Soul Pursuit

Just as Chen Feng and Su Wanzhao piloted the star dome ark, navigating precariously through the dangerous nothingness at the edge of Guixu—

In a certain Star Field Interlayer, extremely far away from them, where order was stable.

Three colossal objects, hideous in form, covered entirely in dark golden, cold armor, and shaped like massive metallic star arks, were tearing through space and sailing silently. The surface of the star arks was engraved with the cross-chain and Eye of Judgment insignia representing the Celestial Court Edict, emitting a cold and efficient killing aura.

Inside the command core of the largest central star ark, there were no beings of flesh and blood, but three figures formed by condensed pure Order Laws, humanoid but taller, clad in dark golden Law-Edict Rune Battle Armor. They were the sharp blades of the Immortal Court tasked with pursuing taboos—the Crime Hunting Immortal Officers! Their aura was condensed, and their laws were pure, far surpassing the previous Gold-Robed Immortal Envoy, and even stronger than the Law Clone of the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal General!

"Target: Taboo Dao Embryo 'Chen Feng,' accomplice 'Su Wanzhao'." The leading Crime Hunting Immortal Officer, codenamed "Soul Pursuit," echoed in the core with a cold, synthesized electronic voice. Suspended before him was a massive light mirror composed of countless intricate golden runes—the Myriad Realms Law-Edict Karma Mirror. On the mirror's surface, the bloody names representing Chen Feng and Su Wanzhao's wanted status were still faintly flickering, with the annotation "Chain Disruption Interference - Ruin's Abyss Edge Active" below.

"The target was born in the Xuanhuang Annihilation Void, possesses the Guixu Xuanhuang Taboo Dao Rhythm, and can interfere with and shield the pursuit of Law-Edict Shackles. He is preliminarily judged to possess the characteristics of a 'Chaos Dao Embryo,' threat level: World-Destroying Class." Another Crime Hunting Immortal Officer, "Soul Lock," analyzed the sporadic data fragments reflected on the mirror. "His accomplice, Su Wanzhao, has reconstructed her Dao Body, and her energy signature is highly homologous with the target, suspected of being a symbiotic relationship, threat level: High Risk Class."

"The target's last active trajectory points towards the deep region at the edge of the Sea of Guixu; the course is unknown." The third Crime Hunting Immortal Officer, "Shadow Break," added, his finger sweeping across the star map at the edge of the light mirror, pointing to a dark area marked "High Risk - Law Disorder - Guixu Erosion."

"The edge of Guixu..." Soul Pursuit's cold, law-formed face was expressionless, only the golden runes representing calculation and pursuit in his eyes spun frantically. "The target intends to use the power of Guixu to hide and evade the Immortal Court Edict's pursuit... Naive."

He raised the arm covered in Law-Edict Rune Armor and pressed it against the edge of the Karma Mirror.

"Activate the 'Law-Edict Soul Pursuit' protocol, authorization: Grade A, Third Rank. Using the Residual Chain Disruption as a guide, and the Guixu Erosion Zone as a filter... Lock onto the core frequency band of the target's energy signature!"

Buzz—!

The entire star ark command core burst into brilliant light! Immense Order Divine Power was injected into the Myriad Realms Law-Edict Karma Mirror! On the mirror's surface, the two faintly flickering bloody names suddenly flared with dazzling golden light! Countless intricate golden runes surged out from the names like living things, spreading, scanning, and filtering frantically along the minute threads of karma representing the "Residual Chain Disruption" on the mirror, heading towards the dark region at the edge of Guixu!

The mirror surface fluctuated violently, displaying fragmented images of the chaotic and distorted edge of Guixu: savage Chaos Undercurrents, Nirvana Law Storms, Space-Time Mirages... countless pieces of interference information rapidly flashed by.

Finally!

At the edge of a fragmented Space-Time Mirage, an extremely faint energy fluctuation carrying a unique Primal Chaos Dao Rhythm, along with another energy ripple originating from the same source and containing the annihilating aura of a dark Star Vortex, was precisely captured, magnified, and locked onto by the overwhelming network of golden runes, like a firefly in the dark night!

The mirror surface instantly froze! A clear Energy Coordinate was marked, located in a region of chaotic nothingness deep within the edge of Guixu! Around the coordinate point, the faint phantom of a strange ark wrapped in Primal Chaos light and the Dark Star Vortex Barrier was vaguely visible!

"Target locked! Energy signature confirmed! Taboo Dao Embryo Chen Feng! Accomplice Su Wanzhao!" Soul Pursuit's cold electronic voice carried a hint of absolute control. "Target vehicle: Unknown Chaos Dao Rhythm Star Ark, possessing high stealth and Guixu resistance."

"Star Ark Engines, Overload Drive! Spatial Jump coordinates set!"

"Law-Edict Divine Crossbow charging! Soul-Locking Nails prepared!"

"Objective: Capture the Dao Embryo alive, annihilate the accomplice! Interferers... Kill without mercy!"

At the sterns of the three crime hunting star arks, massive dark golden engines erupted with destructive Order Divine Light, instantly tearing space and transforming into three streams of dark golden light ripping through the star sea, leaping violently toward the locked coordinates—the star dome ark where Chen Feng and Su Wanzhao were located—at an unimaginable speed!

Mountain Shadow Appears: Star Vortex Barrier

Inside the star dome ark.

Chen Feng stood at the bow, his Chaotic Eyes piercing the Star Vortex Barrier, gazing at the nothingness ahead, which was growing deeper and more saturated with the aura of deathly silence. Following the ruins abyss imprint's guidance, they had already penetrated deep into the inner region of the Sea of Guixu's edge.

Suddenly!

The ruins abyss imprint deep within his True Spirit suddenly transmitted an intense throbbing! It was no longer the primal call from the depths of the Sea of Guixu, but a... Resonance! A cordial resonance with a distant location and a power of the same origin!

"Hmm?" Chen Feng's gaze sharpened, and he focused his full power to "look" in the direction the imprint was throbbing.

Almost simultaneously!

Deep within the nothingness ahead, which was shrouded in dense Ruin's Abyss Shadow and chaotic to the extreme, a faint but exceptionally resilient "light," carrying a warm, profound Xuanhuang aura, penetrated layers of deathly silence and chaos, reflecting in Chen Feng's Chaotic Eyes (Xuanhuang Right Eye)!

The light rapidly magnified and clarified!

It was not a star, but a... Mountain Phantom!

A mountain range outline, unimaginably vast, shimmered faintly within the Ruin's Abyss Shadow! The mountain range was continuous and majestic, emanating a warm and ancient Xuanhuang light throughout, like an eternal lighthouse lit in the cold, deathly silent Sea of Guixu! On the mountain body, countless Natural Runes, vast as stars, could be vaguely seen flowing, forming a huge and complex Protective Formation!

What shocked Chen Feng even more was that the periphery of the mountain phantom was enveloped by a layer of slowly rotating, profound, and vast Dark Star Vortex! The aura of this Star Vortex was faintly homologous to the power of Su Wanzhao's nirvana guixu star core beside him, yet it was older and more immense! The Star Vortex rotated slowly, firmly guarding the mountain range within, while also rigidly isolating the pervasive Guixu Devouring Power outside!

"Guicang Mountain!" Su Wanzhao also sensed it. Brilliant light erupted in her clear, cold Star Eyes. Her nirvana guixu star core pulsed violently, generating a powerful resonance with the massive Star Vortex guarding the distant mountain range! "The Xuanhuang Remnant Clan's Ancestral Land! The Star Vortex Barrier of the Mountain Guard Lineage!"

The place guided by Zhang Shouzhuo's protective will, the final Sanctuary of the Xuanhuang Remnant Clan—Guicang Mountain—had finally revealed the tip of its iceberg!

However, just as the two of them were emotionally stirred and the star dome ark accelerated forward following the resonance—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three terrifying spatial tearing fluctuations appeared without warning in the nothingness not far behind the star dome ark! Three massive star arks, covered in dark golden Law-Edict Runes and emitting a cold, efficient killing aura, leaped out like predators from the Netherworld, subtly encircling the star dome ark in a triangular formation!

At the bows of the star arks, massive dark golden Law-Edict Rune Muzzles were already lit, locking onto the Primal Chaos Star Ark ahead! A cold, efficient, and utterly emotionless thought, like a death sentence proclamation, instantly penetrated the void and slammed into Chen Feng and Su Wanzhao's consciousness:

"Immortal Court Crime Hunting! Targets Chen Feng, Su Wanzhao! Abandon resistance and surrender immediately! Violators of the Law... Body and spirit shall be annihilated!"

The pursuing hounds finally bared their vicious fangs just before the prey reached their Sanctuary! The chaotic nothingness between the star dome ark and the Guicang Mountain Shadow instantly transformed into a battlefield!
