485: The Remnant of the Lord of Guixu

Soon, the grayish-white tide slowly receded, like a sigh of time solidified, completely sealing the lava pit in dead silence.

Su Han lay prostrate within the cold, grayish-white “amber,” his charred remains resembling an ancient stone statue; only at the fracture of his left shoulder, beneath the congealed blood scab, a faint grayish-white stream of light faintly flickered.

That was the buried bone realm source material quietly repairing his body.

His Soul, like a candle in the wind, was on the verge of annihilation under the dual tearing of stripping and backlash.

But in that deepest darkness, a faint yet extraordinarily firm will, like a star in the cold night, stubbornly flickered.

That was the obsession belonging to “Su Han,” unyielding, unwilling!

“Hoo…”

A faint whisper, as if from the abyss of the nine netherworlds, broke the suffocating silence.

It was not the roar of the Void Realm's malevolence, but the wail of Su Han’s own remnant Soul.

He felt a cold and immense power surging into his Soul core from all directions—that was the buried bone realm source material, which, at his dying moment, began a deeper Fusion with him!

This Fusion was not a gentle intermingling, but a violent baptism.

Countless profound death runes twisted and combined within the depths of his Soul like living things, as if to engrave a brand new Law.

His consciousness floated and sank in intense pain, and countless fragmented images flashed before his eyes: burning cities, collapsing mountains, and an endless, dead silent land permeated with grayish-white mist…

Those were scenes from the Burying Bone World!

His Soul, as if by an invisible great hand, was forcibly pressed into the imprint of this source of death!

“No… I cannot… just like this…”

Su Han’s will cried out, and the lingering embers of his Phoenix Bloodline were completely ignited at this moment.

Golden-red light fiercely collided with cold grayish-white runes, each conflict causing his Soul to tremble incessantly, as if it would completely disintegrate in the next second.

Just then, a sudden anomaly occurred!

The grayish-white space, solidified for billions of years, rippled like a fragile mirror!

A subtle yet incredibly deep black crack appeared without warning not far from Su Han.

Through the crack, it was not the Void Realm, but a chillingly viscous darkness, as if some unimaginably vast will was peering into this sealed corner from an infinite distance.

An aura of “nothingness,” even more ancient and pure than the previous ray, permeated through the crack like a tide!

“Hmm?”

A low, emotionless wave of will, like an ice pick, pierced into Su Han’s mind.

“Is it… is it the remnant consciousness of the ‘Lord of Gui Xu’?!”

Su Han’s Soul trembled violently, and a vague yet terrifying thought uncontrollably emerged.

According to legend, there exists in the Void Realm a ultimate place of nothingness called “Gui Xu,” where even light, time, and existence itself are completely swallowed.

Could it be…

The ray that attempted to strip his Soul core just now was actually a probe from this legendary existence?

The buried bone realm source material seemed to sense this threat from a higher dimension, and the speed of Fusion suddenly accelerated!

Su Han felt his bones emit an unbearable “crack, crack” sound; beneath his charred exterior, grayish-white patterns spread wildly as if alive, replacing his decaying flesh and blood.

His left arm reconstructed at a visible speed, with a cold metallic luster flowing beneath his skin; it was no longer a body of flesh and blood, but more like…

The materialization of the Law of death!

“Roar—!”

A deafening roar suddenly erupted! It did not come from outside, but from within Su Han’s body!

The remnant Soul of the metal giant, which he had forcibly suppressed with his remnant Soul and the buried bone realm source material, instantly went berserk upon sensing the arrival of the “Lord of Gui Xu”’s will!

Countless tiny metallic particles spewed from Su Han’s wounds, condensing in the grayish-white space into a ferocious metallic giant snake, which opened its fanged maw and bit fiercely at the black crack!
