Chapter 1591 815: The Door
Just before the Beginning and End Sword shattered, the body of [Unfinished Work] was already completely submerged by a vast number of crystal beads in a momentary stall.
The craftsman's relentless attacks at all costs filled the air with the continuous sound of deteriorating creations shattering, and amidst the near-bankrupting extravagance, all creations were treated as disposable consumables without a care, without regret!
Even if it meant abandoning tools, using bare hands and claws, forsaking the wisdom craftsmen pride themselves on, engaging in savage battles and entanglements like beasts.
Ultimately piercing the middle-aged shadow's face was a dagger forged on the spot by the craftsman from his own bones...
Unfinished Work destroyed Unfinished Work, the surviving sharp edge became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
A frenzied, decaying dachshund sprang up, dozens of heads opened wide, devouring and consuming the shadow completely, isolating the last trace of deterioration.
When the last elder awoke from the fleeting intoxication, what he saw was a blood-red storm sweeping over everything!
The exponential leap of Inheritance Burnt Offering had already completed the preheating, the five hundred and fourteen times ultra-high-speed dash and slash was upon them, yet under the heavy pressure of the Bone Collection Hall, vanished without a trace.
——Here, sever all external interference!
The once clanging Pan Ying suddenly fell silent, with no response at all, and once all external interference was stripped away, Ji Jue fell into unprecedented weakness.
Now left to him, isn't it only the rebirth form's complete integration with Chun Jun, Zanlu, and Chixiao?
Ah, this makes me...
What am I supposed to do?!
Boom!
The barrier that suddenly appeared before the elder's shadow in the void disintegrated.
In the entanglement of Purple Lightning Black Flame, the mechanical metal face formed a silent mad smile, inching closer, with five fingers spread out, pressing towards his face.
In the flash of lightning and sparks, there was no trace of fear or panic, the elder's shadow seemed to twitch, convulse, blur, and then the face that appeared was surprisingly that of a middle-aged man!
Elder, middle-aged, young, the three shadows of Bei Gong responded to each other, opposites yet connected, all existing just as before, and naturally, able to switch freely!
In the instant that only one of the three Pillars remained, the judgment concluded, analysis completed——time delay, self-preservation, ensuring the rebirth of the other two Pillars.
Simultaneously, targeting the current opponent, Bone Collection Hall was replaced by Unfinished Work!
Unfinished Work looked up, gazing at the opponent within reach, with pitch-black pupils reflecting Ji Jue's form, going all out, [deterioration]!
Next, that face full of compassion seemed to overlook the ugly beings, shattered under the metal fingers!
Jing Zhen!
Pushing with full force to break the outer defenses, Zanlu's Purple Lightning Black Flame erupted, pouring in, exploding from within, turning the seemingly stunned Unfinished Work to ashes again!
Up to the very end, those pitch-black eyes remained fixedly staring at Ji Jue, wide open, seeming unable to comprehend why his deterioration wasn't working?
The last thing seen was the Non-attack Matrix on his ten fingers.
"Surprised, unexpected?"
From the beginning till now, enduring restraint, Ji Jue finally activated the second blessing chain of Non-attack, Transformation——recasting himself as a creation, forcibly raising its quality by one rank!
The temporary quality boost, countering the ten-thousand-fold acceleration of deterioration, at most offset it for just an instant, yet that instant was enough for Ji Jue to conclude the outcome.
In the sudden silence of this moment, the three Pillars were destroyed!
The workshop trembled, like dying, shook violently, countless spiritual circuits lit up, gathered out of thin air, instantly beginning the rebirth of the three shadows that had been annihilated.
It only took less than a minute, and everything could be repeated.
Unfortunately, there was no longer a chance.
Under the devastation sprinkled by the Association, the last barrier and security measures also completely vanished.
What remained was only the door standing tall at the end of sight before everyone.
That was the core of the entire workshop, the crucial hub and heart.
——The location of Bei Gong!
Silence.
Silence came abruptly, and no one could make any sound.
Only the sound of exhausted breathing remained, even uncontrollable doubt and confusion.
After enduring so many hardships, making so many sacrifices, they finally arrived here, but when they stood before this door, they couldn't help but feel shaken and afraid.
Even wanting to flee.
It's merely a door, without any locking or reinforcement, not even a lock, yet it cannot be seen through, heard, or understood.
As if everything behind that door was void.
Only the instinctual discomfort like needles in their back kept sending piercing pain, making everyone subconsciously avoid the thought of fully opening that door.
Instinct betrayed the self, consciousness betrayed the self, even the soul and body chose betrayal, even the thought of approaching couldn't arise.
Just feeling that all thoughts surged like waves, tugging, entangling, ceaselessly echoing by the ear.
Don't open it! Mustn't open it! Can't open it!
Once opened...
It's all over!
Ka!
Ji Jue's forcefully stepping foot hovered in mid-air, stiffened, as if wrestling with himself, his ankle and knee made sharp sounds and emitted smoke.
Yet, unable to truly step forward.
Until a hand gently pressed on his shoulder.
"Leave it to me."
Jiang Tongguang turned, slightly smiled at them: "Everyone has worked hard, you've completed your mission and task, what's left, no need to push yourself.
I promise, no one in the Association will hold anyone accountable for this."
He said, "What's left, leave it to me."
Ji Jue opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out.
He still remained in place, didn't move, not a single person chose to leave at this moment.
Only seeing Jiang Tongguang, holding tightly in his hand a creation wrapped in black cloth, step by step, walk towards the door.
No further hesitation.
The sound of breaking continues to echo, as if fighting an invisible enemy, with cracks emerging under the burnt robe, blood dripping.
Leaving behind a blood-stained scarlet path, inch by inch, difficult and winding forward.
The more he moves forward, the more hunchbacked that thin figure becomes, like a stalk of wheat about to be snapped by the wind, extending his hand with all his might.
Until, he finally touched that iron door that seemed to embody despair.
Squeak—
A soft sound.
No stability like mountain walls, nor the poison of malicious machinery, just like a half-open door finally getting touched.
Gently, it opened.
Boom!!!
The world spins, all things shake.
It's hard to distinguish which is truly trembling: the workshop, or the Pillar of Descent rooted above it!
Not just within the broken workshop, the entire You Sui is swaying and rocking in a frenzy seemingly boiling with chaos.
Descent shakes once more!
Impacts from Ember, time and again.
"...Next one!"
The Crack Realm between sea and sky has become a Hell.
The towering bell tower resounds mightily, figures resembling skeletons and scorched corpses emerging from the Fierce Flame, step by step, lifting their heads once more, defiantly gazing at the many prying and watching figures in You Sui.
The tenth!
The tenth Demon of Sin dispatched by You Sui, perished at his hands.
Former adversaries, past friends, even mortal enemies, now all indistinguishable, dying in the same way—shattered into pieces, bones ground to dust!
In front of him, the glaring Pillar of Descent shakes once again, collapsing, deep cracks inscribed in its foundation, teetering on the brink.
Only one-third of the original height remains, struggling to continue!
Between sea and sky, the bell tolls like dragon's roar, like frenzy howl, echoing endlessly and unabated.
The sky is silent.
"I see..."
As if finally sensing something, the drowsy Elder Anvil raised his eyes: "No wonder alongside Li Lin, there's a double strategy this time.
The target includes Bei Gong too?"
In a moment's consideration, he suddenly understood, seeing through all that had happened behind the scenes: "This isn't your style... I understand now, even someone as content as Gustav has shown such resolve.
Even the prestigious Heavenly Furnace has been used as a facade."
"So does this mean it's even more pitiful?"
The Heavenly Furnace glanced at him, smirking disdainfully: "The one who caught your flaw isn't me, the one who made the decision isn't me, the one who decided to take a gamble isn't me, and the one truly opposing You Sui isn't just me.
As the Commander Craftsman of You Sui, you were not defeated by the Heavenly Furnace, but by the Association's Councilman."
He paused, warmly suggesting: "If you really can't accept defeat, why not have a straight gun-and-knife duel? I'm ready anytime."
"Better not, it's not time."
Elder Anvil still shook his head, unmoved, "No rush."
"But I'm fed up."
The Heavenly Furnace's smile vanished, leaving only indifference.
His fingers tapped the cane laid across his knees, one sound after another, like plucking a sword, hungry for action: "Lu Changsheng, and now you as well, accustomed to hiding like snakes and mice, suddenly daring to face daylight, attempting to decide victory, yet still unable to shed the disgrace of secrecy, truly irritating...
Enough with the off-the-board tricks!"
His gaze fixed upon Elder Anvil's aged face, he told him word by word: "Since the dice have been thrown, time to uncover the cup!"
That moment, a crisp sound rang out between sea and sky, echoing continuously.
From afar.
From... beneath the Vortex.
In the core of You Sui's deepest locked-down workshop, right before everyone, under Jiang Tongguang's hands, the dark door shattered silently, turning to ashes.
No longer visible.
No fear or confusion remained, all anomalies vanished as if they never existed.
It was merely a door.
Its effect was like any door—to completely seal everything behind it, preventing any prying, whether it's ether insight or Ascension foresight, turning the realm behind the door into an absolute black box.
Nothing more.
Even like now, touched slightly and shattering!
But now, the absolutely impenetrable black box has been opened by Jiang Tongguang, long-lost light illuminating the darkness beyond the door.
Countless ashes from shattered doors spread, rustling and falling, landing onto the thick dust.
In the deathly stillness, silence prevailed.
Centered in the workshop, before the extinguished Melting Furnace, a withered figure leaned on a chair, as if having waited long, not saying a word.
The dry face retained its past ferocity and despair, a silent cry, a desperate mournful wail.
Perpetually frozen at that moment from unknown years ago.
—It was a corpse, long weathered for countless years!
Nothing else besides.
A sharp clash sounded, as Jiang Tongguang dropped a creation he clutched in his hands, stirring a cloud of dust.
His eyes widened, forgetting to breathe.
This was the secret buried by Elder Anvil beneath the Vortex, hidden in You Sui all these years.
Bei Gong is dead!
