119: The Heart of the Dragon's Nest, its Laws Shattered

When Lin Feng and his two brothers finally stepped onto the broken, savage summit of Chuanyun Peak, they truly understood what was meant by “the scar of the world.”

This place was no longer the human world.

The ground beneath their feet was no longer solid earth, but a Chaotic substance that seemed to have lost its “definition,” constantly and irregularly switching between solid and semi-liquid states. Gravity also lost its constant here; sometimes they felt as light as swallows, capable of stepping into the clouds in a single stride; other times they felt as heavy as ten thousand tons, requiring all their strength just to lift a foot.

Fine spatial fissures, like black lightning bolts, appeared, vanished, and flickered in the air without warning, exuding a great terror capable of easily tearing Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators into shreds!

"setting sail! Barrier Maximization!"

Lin Feng roared, frantically pouring the abundant Wind Bedrock Spiritual Qi within him into the Divine Lamp in his hand! That “Flagship”—a Fusion of the Wind Speaker and Bedrock Dao Rhyme—burst forth with unprecedented dazzling light!

The “Wind Bedrock Barrier,” composed of yellow and silver light, was no longer merely purifying and soothing at this moment. It was more like a “Rule Stabilizer”! Using the complete Dao contained within itself, it forcefully carved out an “Absolute Domain” nearby, where physical Laws were stable and spatial structure was solid!

It was only by relying on this small “Solitary Boat,” struggling forward amidst the fierce winds and terrifying waves, that they managed to gain a foothold in this demonic Domain of shattered Laws.

However, the danger on the physical level was not the most terrifying.

The closer they got to the core of the summit, the more frantically the “Emotional Torrent,” originating from the spiritual level and filled with endless pain and sorrow, assaulted their Divine Souls!

Illusions began to appear before their eyes.

It was the scene of the Celestial Star falling hundreds of years ago, replaying repeatedly in their minds in an immersive manner!

They “saw” the majestic, sleeping mountain soul of the Qinglan Mountain Range emit a silent, yet earth-shaking, painful wail the moment the tear of the stars impacted its core!

They “saw” the Evil Dragon of the Abyss, which originated from beyond the heavens and was composed purely of the will of “parasitism” and “devouring,” let out a silent, maniacal laugh filled with satisfied greed and joy, rooting itself fiercely like the hungriest worm onto the mountain soul's massive wound that flowed with the power of Origin.

"Ugh!" Lin Tie's Dao Heart was, after all, the weakest of the three. Under the impact of this torrent filled with despair and negative emotions, his face turned pale, and traces of blood seeped from his Seven Orifices; he was on the verge of collapse!

"Tie Zi, guard your Spiritual Platform!" Lin Shi roared, grabbing his younger brother and transferring his own Bedrock-like, indestructible will into the other's body to help stabilize his mind.

"Wind Chant! Soul Soothing!"

Lin Feng immediately activated the soul-calming wind chime! That melodious, ancient song, filled with the power of soothing and purification, spread out as silver spiritual ripples, acting like a gentle barrier that filtered and calmed the layers of violent “Memory Echoes” filled with negative emotions.

The “Blessing of the Wind” of the Wind Speaker clan also emitted a refreshing aura from the center of their brows, guarding their last vestiges of sanity.

Under these triple layers of protection, they finally endured the terrifying pressure—which felt capable of crushing their Souls—and walked step by step toward the epicenter of this apocalyptic scene!

The summit of Chuanyun Peak was a massive, crater-like Annular Basin.

And right in the center of the basin, a colossal crystal, which should have been the source of Spiritual Qi for this world, towering hundreds of feet high like a Crystal Cavern, had snapped in half and was utterly shattered. The exposed fracture was weakly oozing the nearly depleted, most fundamental Spiritual Qi of Origin.

This was the “heart” of the Qinglan Mountain Range, the legendary—heart stone!

And in the center of the shattered heart stone, upon the savage, massive wound that pierced the entire mountain soul, a ten-zhang-long, irregularly shaped, colossal crystal, glowing with an eerie blue-violet color, was firmly embedded like a venomous thorn from another Dimension!

It was the tear of the stars!

In the cruelest manner, it acted like a giant “water pump,” frantically extracting the scant Origin Spiritual Qi remaining in the heart stone while simultaneously radiating outwards an endless “Law Pollution” filled with Chaos and distortion!

Moreover, the Evil Dragon of the Abyss had completely merged with this wound, with this Star Tear, and with this heart stone!

It had no physical form. It was a massive, malicious, cloud-like Dark Will that shrouded the entire summit! Its “roots” were deeply embedded in every crack of the heart stone; its “mouthparts” were clamped tightly onto the Star Tear!

It was simultaneously “devouring” two types of energy—the “life” of the heart stone and the “Chaos” of the Star Tear!

It had already turned this scar of the world into its most perfect “nest” and “mess hall”!

The moment Lin Feng and his two brothers, these three uninvited guests, stepped into this “Dragon Nest,” the Dark Will instantly “woke up.” A terrifying Spiritual Storm, ten thousand times stronger than before and filled with pure desire for “hunger” and “slaughter,” violently descended!

"It's now! Our last chance!"

Lin Feng knew that if the Evil Dragon of the Abyss were allowed to fully awaken and mobilize the power of the entire nest, the three of them would be instantly torn to shreds!

He had to complete this “Cardiac Surgery”—a feat that could be called Heaven-Defying—before the Evil Dragon finished “waking up”!

He turned to his two brothers behind him, who had been preparing for a long time, and used all his strength to issue the final and most crucial Battle Command!

"Uncle Shi! Tie Zi! Use the Wind Bone Treasure Armor to activate the Panshi Guardian, and use all your strength to... buy me Ten Breaths of time!"

"Step one: Soothe the mind, which is the 'Anesthesia'!"

Lin Feng violently plunged the bedrock voyage in his hand into the Chaotic substance beneath his feet! He poured the power of Wind Whisper from his Wind Bedrock Dao Seed into it without reservation!

The melodious Wind Chant from antiquity echoed across the entire mountaintop at this moment! It transformed into the gentlest, most sacred silver ocean, no longer defensive, but actively covering the wailing, shattered heart stone!

This was the Wind Speaker clan's final soothing act toward this wounded land, performed once again after centuries!

The rampant energy miraculously began to subside. The heart stone, which had been frantically beating and emitting resentment, slowly quieted down.

"Step two: Sever the roots, which is the 'Excision'!"

Taking advantage of the instantaneous “stagnation” that occurred because the Evil Dragon's “food” was being soothed, Lin Feng's eyes erupted with monstrous golden light!

"Law Breaking! Sever Karma!"

He pushed the power of Bedrock to the extreme, and the pan shi myriad spirit thorn in his hand transformed into a mountain-heavy, golden lightning bolt!

His target was neither the tear of the stars nor the heart stone, but the invisible Law Roots constructed by the “Evil Dragon” Will between the two, connecting the “wound” and the “Parasite”!

"Sever... now!!!"

The ten thousand spirits thorn tore through the sky! That dazzling “Law Breaking” golden ring, at this moment, seemed to transform into the sharpest surgical knife in the world, fiercely slashing at those invisible connections with the supreme power of severing all Karma and ignoring all Laws!

"ROAR----!!!!"

A silent Spiritual Roar, filled with pain and fury, yet powerful enough to make the entire mountain range tremble, erupted from the Dark Will!

The Evil Dragon of the Abyss had its energy-siphoning “Umbilical Cord” severed!

"The final step! Fighting poison with poison, which is the 'Suturing'!"

Lin Feng endured the excruciating pain of his Divine Soul being torn, abruptly clasped his hands together, and formed the Final Shape of the Myriad Transformations Returning Flow Seal!

"Myriad Transformations Returning Flow! Reversing the Universe!"

His target was precisely locked onto the tear of the stars, which had lost its connection to the Evil Dragon's Will and was emitting masterless Chaotic energy!

What he intended to do was not destroy it, but use the Myriad Transformations Returning Flow Seal to forcibly “purify” the majestic, most fundamental “Power of Chaotic Creation” within it, and then guide and infuse it back into the heart stone's massive wound, using the “poison” itself to “suture” this scar of the world!

This was the most insane and perilous step in the entire plan!

All the energy across the summit of Chuanyun Peak completely ran rampant at this moment!

And on the platform below the mountaintop, Zhao Baichuan and his dozen or so Guards watched dumbfounded as the summit was completely consumed by an endless, blue-violet Energy Storm!
