900: Since you want the chapter anyway... then take it!

Dark golden blood gushed like a fountain from the split wounds all over Luo Xiu's body, evaporated by the high temperature of the furnace into a thick blood mist that enveloped him.

His Aura remained violent, yet it was like a candle in the wind, carrying the tragic intensity of a life being overdrawn.

With every punch he threw in retaliation, his body would sway slightly, as if he were about to collapse at any moment.

Accompanied by the groans of his overburdened bones and the muffled sounds of his internal organs fracturing, his complexion became increasingly ghastly, yet his eyes still burned with an unyielding flame.

Li Wuji was in the center of the storm, the silver light in his hands tightly entwining the star core that was struggling violently, its radiance becoming increasingly unstable.

He could clearly "hear" the violent Universe Origin inside the star core, like a volcano about to erupt, emitting painful hisses under his forced suppression.

The progress of his analysis was as slow as a snail's crawl; the Law contained within the star core was too vast and majestic. It was simply impossible to find a node for safe Fusion or utilization in such a short time and under such high pressure.

His gaze swept over the proud figure to his front left, who was struggling to hold on amidst the flashes of swords and blades, her blue hair soaked through with sweat and blood, yet she remained standing tall.

Galan's hair was disheveled, sticking to her pale cheeks, while sweat and blood mixed together, sliding down her face.

Yet she still held her back straight, and the blades in her hands flickered with a faint light, as if recounting her unyielding spirit and resilience.

He then swept his gaze to the front right, toward the violent figure who resembled a torch burned to its end, roaring and fighting in blood and fire, his heterochromatic eyes still burning with an unyielding, fierce light.

Luo Xiu's body was shrouded in blood mist, and his Blood Moon eyes flickered with an eerie light within the mist, like two burning flames.

Every one of his attacks carried a determined Aura, as if he wanted to completely destroy all his enemies.

The light of Galan's blades was fading.

That once dazzling radiance had now become dim and lusterless, like a star about to extinguish.

The vortex of Luo Xiu's furnace was collapsing.

The originally violent vortex had now become loose and powerless, as if a gentle breeze could blow it away.

The defensive line, under the bombardment of dozens of top-tier powerhouses, was like a lone boat in a storm, teetering on the edge of collapse.

The time spent guarding was passing rapidly, counted in seconds.

Every second felt like a sharp carving knife, etching deep marks into their hearts.

They knew that there was little time left for them, but they still stood their ground, using their own lives and strength to protect that sliver of hope.

And all around, the wild laughter of the Lord of Chaos, the crazed killing intent of the Nine Great Monarchs burning their Origin, the fearless ferocity of the four Zerg Emperors, and the attacks of other Human Race and Yao Race powerhouses—whether covetous or self-preserving—in the Chaos, were like countless venomous snakes, tightly constricting around them, tightening continuously!

"Hold on! Hold on for this King!"

Luo Xiu let out a beast-like roar, forcibly squeezing out his final reserves of strength, and with one punch, he sent Evil Crimson Fang, who was pouncing again, flying backward.

But the price was his left shoulder being grazed by a ray of deathly black light from the Nirvana Monarch, instantly leaving a terrifying wound that exposed the bone and exuded an Aura of decay!

Galan's "Thousand Flow Severance" blade net was forcibly torn open by the nine newly birthed Nirvana lotus petals of the Xuanlian Monarch and the treacherous space blades of the Monarch Wan Yi!

A vicious tentacle of Chaos, like a poisonous whip, instantly broke through the defense of the blade net and lashed fiercely at Galan's back!

"Watch out!"

Li Wuji's pupils constricted; he instinctively wanted to go to her rescue, but if the power suppressing the star core were to be dispersed, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Just at this critical moment!

All the hesitation, struggle, and calculation in Li Wuji's eyes instantly turned into a cold, extreme determination!

He no longer tried to analyze the star core, no longer tried to find that slim chance of a perfect solution!

"Since you all want it—then take it!"

Li Wuji's voice was as cold as ten-thousand-year black ice, resounding across the chaotic battlefield!

In the eyes of everyone, filled with astonishment, greed, and confusion, he suddenly released his suppression of the star core!

Hum—!

The star core, which had been tightly bound by the silver net, the moment it lost its suppression, was like a wild horse breaking free, as the violent Universe Origin energy inside erupted with a boom!

With a whoosh, the star core broke away from Li Wuji and shot into the sky!

Rumble—!

A terrifying scene that could not be described in words occurred!

That brilliant star core was no longer a gentle ball of starlight, but had instantly transformed into an expanding miniature sun, emitting a destructive stellar storm!

A ring of shockwaves, visible to the naked eye, composed of violent Origin energy and nearly tangible, exploded outward in a spherical shape from the center of Li Wuji, at a speed that transcended thought!

The power contained in this shockwave was the planet's Origin!

It was fragments of the Universe Law!

It was a terrifying, mighty force capable of reshaping everything!

Bearing the brunt of it were those powerhouses closest to him who had been launching the fiercest attacks!

The tentacle of Chaos lashing at Galan's back, the moment it touched the shockwave, annihilated silently like snow under the sun!

The mental spikes shot by Emperor Soul like a rainstorm collided with a wall of copper and iron, instantly shattering into specks of light filling the sky!

The Nirvana lotus petals shot by the Xuanlian Monarch toward Li Wuji's arm, the space blades of the Monarch Wan Yi slicing toward the back of his neck, the tip of the destructive Dragon breath spewed by the White Dragon Monarch, and the Soul impact of the Phantom Monarch...

All attacks directed at the core area of Li Wuji and the Guardians were instantly destroyed, disintegrated, and sent reeling back like paper, faced with this terrifying repulsive shockwave containing the star core's Origin!

"What?!"

"No—!"

"Damn it!"

The wild laughter on the face of the Lord of Chaos instantly turned into horror; he bore the brunt of it, and his massive Chaos body was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer.

His protective Chaos power dissipated crazily, his entire body flew backward uncontrollably, and he spat out black Chaos blood!

Emperor Soul groaned, his Divine Soul power was instantly torn, and even the Zerg armor on his body developed countless cracks as he was fiercely pushed away by the shockwave!

The space ability that the Monarch Wan Yi prided himself on failed under the impact of this pure Law energy, several of his light wings snapped, and he flew backward, spitting blood!

The light of the Xuanlian Monarch's black lotus platform dimmed, and the lotus petals shattered!

The massive Dragon body of the White Dragon Monarch was sent flying by the shockwave, with large patches of Dragon scales peeling off!

Phantom, Nirvana, Ice Soul, Skeleton, Earth Rock...

All the Monarchs besieging the core, without exception, were like fallen leaves swept up by a gale, fiercely blown away by this irresistible repulsive force of the star core!

Their Auras were instantly disrupted, and the Origin light flames burning on their bodies flickered violently; they had clearly suffered non-trivial internal injuries!

The three, Evil Crimson Fang, Blood Moon, and Mu Buhua, were like small boats struck by a giant wave, screaming as they were swept away by the shockwave!

Dragon Xuanyuan, Bai Yuan, and other Human Race and Yao Race powerhouses, although further away and somewhat prepared, were also struck by this sudden, terrifying repulsive force, causing their Qi and blood to churn, forcing them to retreat repeatedly, their protective energies flickering uncertainly!

The entire world was like the surface of a lake into which a giant stone had been thrown!

With Li Wuji as the center, the space within a radius of hundreds of zhang was instantly cleared!

All the besiegers, regardless of strength, were fiercely pushed away by this violent repulsive force originating from the star core, their formations thrown into Chaos!
