877: Zhang Jinchan Sheds Her Shell

"Heavenly Prison of Burning Worlds!"

Heavenly Fire Monarch shouted sharply, and the remaining crimson-gold divine fire spewed from his body, transforming into nine fire chains burning with Origin.

These fire chains, like nine Dragons, ignored the constraints of space and instantly pierced through Luo Xiu's limbs and bones, locking him tightly in mid-air.

A terrifying suction force came from the fire chains, like a greedy beast, crazily devouring the remaining Divine Demon blood and energy within his body.

Luo Xiu's body twisted in pain under the pulling of the fire chains.

"Eternal Nirvana Ice Coffin!"

Ice Soul Monarch suppressed the backlash of the cold poison, exhausted its last bit of strength, and spat out a stream of extreme cold that froze everything.

That cold current, like a silver Dragon, roared towards Luo Xiu.

The cold current instantly froze Luo Xiu along with the Ruoshui Cage and the Burning World fire chains, forming a huge, crystal-clear ice coffin that radiated an absolute, deathly chill.

Inside the ice coffin, even the passage of time seemed to be frozen, and everything fell into stillness.

"Eternal Nirvana Imprisonment!"

Nirvana Monarch's figure appeared silently above the ice coffin.

It pressed its hands down into the air, and a pure, deathly energy that ended everything and returned it to nothingness poured into the ice coffin like ink.

This energy did not attack Luo Xiu's Physical Body, but instead, like a maggot attached to the bone, directly wrapped around and infiltrated his Divine Soul will, which was burnt out but still unyielding.

It seemed as if it wanted to completely erase his final mark of existence and return it to eternal nirvana.

The four Monarchs used their Origin power to construct a lethal formation—Ruoshui corrodes bones, Heavenly Fire burns the Origin, ice freezes the form, and Nirvana grinds the soul!

The huge ice coffin hung in the sky, radiating the deep blue of the bone-corroding Ruoshui, the crimson gold of the Burning World Heavenly Fire, the absolute deathly cold of ice, and the ink black that ends all things.

Four distinct yet equally lethal Monarch-level Origin powers intertwined and resonated, turning into a lethal cage that even a Tier 4 powerhouse would find difficult to break free from.

In the center of the ice coffin, Luo Xiu was tightened by the water net, which constricted his body like an iron hoop.

His head hung low, his breath as weak as a candle about to go out, and even those fearless dark-gold heterochromatic eyes seemed to have only two tiny, barely perceptible embers left flickering stubbornly.

"It's over—Luo Xiu!"

Xuanlian Monarch clutched its chest where its Dao foundation was shattered; its voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between its teeth, yet it was mixed with a hint of pleasure.

That pleasure was like the relief of finally seeing an enemy at their end after experiencing a life-and-death tribulation; at the same time, it was mixed with bone-deep resentment, a resentment stemming from the repeated setbacks and humiliations Luo Xiu had inflicted upon it.

"No matter how talented and peerless in strength you are, today you will surely vanish into nothingness in the Nirvana of Origin!"

Its words echoed in space, as if declaring the final outcome of this battle.

Monarch Wan Yi looked at its broken light wings, each shattered feather flickering with a dim light, as if telling of its unwillingness.

Its eyes were filled with monstrous hatred, a hatred like a surging tide that almost drowned it completely.

"Refine him, and divide his flesh, blood, and Divine Soul! This thick Origin power might help us advance further!"

At this moment, Ruoshui Monarch's face was as pale as paper, and her body was trembling slightly.

Her aura was even more withered than when she was heavily injured by Luo Xiu's punch; forcibly activating her Origin to cast "Ten Thousand Rivers Return to Ruins · Ruoshui Cage" had cost her dearly.

During the casting of that powerful Spell, she could clearly feel her Origin power flowing away crazily like a breached flood.

But when she looked at the figure completely imprisoned in the ice coffin, a trace of twisted satisfaction and relief appeared on her beautiful face.

"Where is that blue-haired woman you saved back then? You saved her then, but now no one comes to save you; how truly pathetic."

As she spoke, the smile on Ruoshui Monarch's face became eerie, revealing a hint of resentment, as if the existence of that blue-haired woman had stirred up some painful memories deep in her heart.

"However, your flesh and blood are quite good; they seem to contain supreme creation. If I devour you, it will definitely make up for my Origin's deficit, and even—make me stronger!"

She stared greedily at the ice coffin, her eyes flashing with scorching light, as she fully activated the power of Ruoshui, trying to accelerate the erosion of Luo Xiu's last vitality.

The power of Ruoshui, like countless cold tentacles, constantly wrapped around and squeezed the ice coffin, emitting a "sizzling" sound.

The Nine Great Monarchs focused their gaze on that huge ice coffin symbolizing the end, their eyes intertwined with tension, greed, and killing intent.

Tension, because they knew Luo Xiu's power well, and even if he seemed trapped at this moment, they dared not let their guard down.

Greed, a longing for Luo Xiu's thick Origin power.

Killing intent, a response to all of Luo Xiu's previous resistance.

Earth Rock Monarch Stone Jing Tian was also in the distance, activating the power of the earth to stabilize this ravaged space, preventing any accidents from happening.

His hands moved continuously, and streams of earthy yellow light surged from his palms, like huge pythons winding around the edges of space, stitching the broken space together bit by bit.

Just at this deathly silent moment, when it seemed like everything was a foregone conclusion—

The "Luo Xiu" imprisoned in the center of the ice coffin, whose breath was so weak it was almost extinguished, extremely abruptly—completely disappeared!

It was not a slow dissipation, nor a violent annihilation, but like a phantom bubble, with a "pop" without any warning, it turned into specks of dark gold sparks.

These sparks flickered with mysterious light, lingered in the ice coffin for a fleeting moment, and then were immediately stirred into nothingness by the raging Ruoshui, Heavenly Fire, ice, and Nirvana energy inside the ice coffin!

"What?!"

Xuanlian Monarch's pupils shrank sharply, as if a huge stone had smashed heavily onto its heart.

"Impossible!"

Monarch Wan Yi's light wings shook wildly, each vibration of the light wings bringing up a strong airflow, and its spatial perception swept crazily, trying to catch a trace of Luo Xiu.

Its face was full of terror, as if it saw the most terrifying thing about to happen.

"Clone?!"

Nirvana Monarch's deathly, waveless voice showed clear emotional fluctuation for the first time—shock!

Its voice was still low, but the shock contained within it was clearly audible.

"As expected of Brother Luo Xiu, to be able to dodge like this without anyone noticing!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Shuo's eyes were full of ecstasy, and even the shadow beside him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But immediately his heart rose again; although Luo Xiu dodged this blow, these Monarchs obviously would not give up.

The situation had not changed; once Luo Xiu was defeated before the Star Core completely condensed, it would be difficult for them to obtain the Star Core.

And just at that thousandth of a second when all the Monarchs were shaken and their attention was completely drawn to the anomaly inside the ice coffin!

A figure, as if stepping out from the ancient nothingness, appeared without warning directly behind Ruoshui Monarch!

The figure seemed like a ghost that had suddenly emerged from the darkness, carrying a mysterious and terrifying aura.

"Damn it, save me!"
