Chapter 1745 Abnormal Movements in the Boundary Core

After a hundred thousand years of seclusion, outside the Ling Clan's main hall, the divine tree that Ling Hao planted back then had long since grown into a colossal tree that blotted out the sky, with a faint golden glow swirling among its branches, and the patterns on its trunk flowing like ancient runes.

On this day, the divine tree suddenly trembled violently, and countless golden leaves fluttered down. Each leaf transformed into a fine spiritual pattern as it landed, outlining a complex array on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled rumble echoed throughout the entire territory of the Primordial Spirit Clan. Beneath the earth, an ancient and powerful force was awakening, carrying a heart-palpitating fluctuation, as if a colossal beast was about to burst forth from the ground.

"what happened?"

In the secluded meditation chamber, Shenxuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the aura of a peak Emperor instantly erupted, with golden divine power surging out of his body like a tide.

He sensed that power originating from the core of the Primordial Spirit Clan, the Boundary Core!

That was the source of the entire Spirit Race's survival, but now it was experiencing violent disturbances, as if an external force was eroding it.

Almost simultaneously, the seven clan leaders, including Taiyan, Guiming, and Shayu, also broke through their cultivation barriers. Seven powerful auras converged above the Ling Clan Hall, and as they looked at each other, they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"The boundary core is shaking, and..."

The "Tai" mark between Tai Yan's brows shone brightly, and spatial power spread out, probing deep into the earth. "There's a familiar aura—the destructive power of the World Devourers! They've actually found the location of the World Core!"

"what?"

Sha Yu roared, the God-Slaying Blade behind him humming, its crimson blade light soaring into the sky, "They actually dare to covet the core of my Primordial Spirit Clan!!"

Shen Xuan's expression was solemn: "The Boundary Core is the foundation of our ancient Spirit Clan. Once it is devoured by the Boundary Devourers, the entire Spirit Clan will fall apart, and all clansmen will turn to ashes. We must go to the Boundary Core immediately and stop them!"

Just then, a calm figure slowly emerged from the void; it was none other than the Evil Emperor.

"There's no need to rush."

The Evil Emperor raised his hand to stop the clan leaders who were about to set off, saying, "This disturbance in the Boundary Core is not due to the main force of the Devourers attacking, but rather the activation of their 'Boundary Erosion Array'."

"The Erosion Array?"

Xu Miao frowned slightly, his body crackling with lightning. "What kind of formation is that?"

"An evil formation originating from the depths of chaos."

The Evil Emperor gazed into the depths of the earth, his tone extremely solemn, "The Devourers could not directly break through the barrier of the Primordial Spirit Clan's domain, so they left behind array foundations, using the scattered destructive power as a guide to slowly erode the core of the realm."

"Now that the array core has been activated, in three hours, the defense of the boundary core will completely collapse. At that time, the real world devourers will pour in through the cracks in the boundary core."

Ling Hao slowly stood up, his brows furrowed: "Evil Emperor, since you already knew, why didn't you stop it beforehand?"

He could sense that the anomaly in the boundary core seemed to have some kind of hidden connection with the shackles within his body. Every time the boundary core vibrated, his spiritual power would become slightly disordered, as if there were invisible shackles binding him.

The Evil Emperor turned to look at Ling Hao, a complex light flashing in his eyes: "It's not that we don't want to stop it, but that we can't. The core of this Erosion Realm Array is intricately connected to the 'rules,' and you are the key to that connection."

"I?"

Ling Hao was taken aback. "I've never had any real contact with the rules, so why would I be the key?"

Do you really think it's just a coincidence that your future self will be involved with the rules?

The Evil Emperor spoke calmly, his voice carrying a power that pierced the heart, "From the moment you were born, the rules planted a 'seed' within you. In your blood, there flows a trace of the original power of the 'Guardians of the Rules' from the primordial era. This is why you can cultivate the Golden Ancient Spirit God, but you can never break through to the Emperor Realm—the rules do not allow you to become too strong. They want to cultivate you into a pawn to control the Spirit Race."

"This is something I've only discovered in the last 100,000 years."

Upon hearing this, all the clan leaders were shocked and looked at Ling Hao in disbelief.

Ling Hao shuddered, countless fragments flashing through his mind:

The idea of ​​joining forces with the gods to kill the evil emperor, the desire to make contact with the rules, and the inability to break through certain realms...

These fragments, when pieced together, form a chilling truth.

He looked up abruptly, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Why are the rules like this? What exactly does He want to do?"

"For the sake of balance," the Evil Emperor said slowly, "At the beginning of the universe, the rules wanted to control all worlds, while chaos gave birth to destroyers like the Devourers. The primordial power of the Primordial Spirit Race was too strong, belonging neither to the rules nor to chaos, and became the target of contention between the two. The rules planted a seed within you to control the Primordial Spirit Race at a crucial moment, while the Devourers wanted to devour the world core to gain the power to break the shackles of the rules."

He paused, then continued, "Their true purpose is to use the primordial power of the boundary core to awaken the 'Lord of the World Devourer' deep within the chaos. At that time, not only the Primordial Spirit Race, but the entire universe will be plunged into destruction!"

"Then what should we do?"

Du Qing licked his lips, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. "The boundary core defense will collapse in just three hours. Even if we arrive in time, we may not be able to break the Erosion Array."

The Evil Emperor raised his hand and waved, and a black light screen appeared in front of everyone. The scene of the Boundary Core Land appeared in the light screen: deep underground, a huge black array was in operation, and countless dark purple destructive forces were wrapped around a brilliant golden core like poisonous snakes. That was the Boundary Core of the Primordial Spirit Clan.

Three figures stood in the center of the formation.

"The one on the left is the Lord of the Eclipse Realm, skilled in formations and the power of erosion; the one in the middle is the Chaos Messenger, who controls a portion of the Chaos Origin; the one on the right is the Rule Spy, ostensibly a Devourer of the Realm, but in reality serving the Rules and responsible for relaying messages." The Evil Emperor pointed to the figures in the light screen and explained, "To break the Eclipse Realm Formation, we must kill all three of them at the same time. Moreover, someone needs to temporarily suppress the anomalies in the Realm Core to buy us time."

The clan leaders exchanged glances, all understanding that the task of suppressing the anomaly in the boundary core was extremely dangerous and risky.

The core of the world is currently being eroded by the power of destruction, and its aura is extremely violent. If one is not careful, he will be devoured by the power of origin and his soul will be destroyed.

"I come."

Ling Hao suddenly spoke, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Chieftain of the Spirit Clan, you mustn't!"

Shen Xuan hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "The boundary core is acting violently. You haven't even broken through to the Emperor Realm yet. Going to suppress it would be like throwing an egg against a rock!"

"It doesn't matter."

Ling Hao smiled slightly, and golden spiritual energy surged around him. The phantom of a golden ancient spirit god slowly emerged, towering tens of thousands of feet high, with a radiant glow around him, echoing the aura of the divine tree.

"The Evil Emperor once said that the original power of the rule guardian flows in my blood. Perhaps only I can establish a connection with the boundary core and temporarily suppress its abnormality."

He turned to look at the Evil Emperor: "Evil Emperor, I need your help."

"Go on," the Evil Emperor nodded.

"Help me break free from the shackles of the rules."

"I know you come from the future to defy the rules. Today, I am willing to join forces with you to protect the Primordial Spirit Race, no matter the cost!"

The Evil Emperor gave Ling Hao a deep look, then suddenly smiled: "Good!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Evil Emperor raised his hand and waved it, a black power transforming into a sharp sword that pointed directly at Ling Hao's brow.

This power, though seemingly terrifying, contains exquisite control and carries no killing intent whatsoever; instead, it exudes an aura of breaking free from constraints.

"Concentrate your mind and guide your imperial power to impact the seed of rules within your body!" the Evil Emperor said in a deep voice.

Ling Hao did as instructed, his spiritual energy surging wildly around him. The power of the golden ancient spirit god intertwined with the imperial power of the evil emperor, rushing towards the invisible seed of rules within his body.

At that moment, he seemed to hear a roar from the ages. The Seed of Rules sensed the threat and unleashed a strong repulsive force, attempting to expel the imperial power and spiritual energy.

"what!"

Ling Hao let out a painful roar, his veins bulging all over his body, golden blood seeping from his pores, and his body trembling violently under the collision of the two forces.

The repulsive force of the rule seed was too strong, as if it would tear his soul apart, while the emperor's power and his own spiritual energy were like sharp swords, firmly resisting the repulsive force and eroding the barrier of the rule seed little by little.

The clan leaders held their breath, watching Ling Hao with bated breath.

They could sense that Ling Hao's aura was changing rapidly, the barrier of the peak of the Dao God realm was loosening, and an even more powerful force was being nurtured. It was the aura of the Emperor realm, but it was more magnificent and purer than that of an ordinary Emperor realm.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out within Ling Hao's body, and the barrier of the rule seed was finally broken.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful force erupted from Ling Hao's body, and golden light shot into the sky, intertwining with the glow of the divine tree and the fluctuations of the boundary core, forming a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

"We've broken through!" A look of wild joy flashed in Shenxuan and the others' eyes.

Ling Hao slowly opened his eyes, golden light flowing in them. His aura had stabilized at the early stage of Emperor, but it was several times stronger than that of an ordinary early stage Emperor, and even faintly surpassed that of Shen Xuan back then.

More importantly, the spiritual power within him became incredibly pure, no longer bound by anything, and the golden phantom of the ancient spirit god became even more solid, radiating an aura of dominance over the world!

"Thank you, Evil Emperor." Ling Hao cupped his hands in thanks to the Evil Emperor, his voice filled with gratitude.

The Evil Emperor waved his hand: "No need to thank me. Your breakthrough is also beneficial for me to overcome the rules. Now, it's time to deal with the Erosion Array."

He turned to the clan leaders and said, “Shenxuan, Taiyan, and Shayu, you will come with me to the core of the realm to slay the three great enemies; Guiming, Duqing, Siji, and Xumiao, you will stay behind to guard the Spirit Clan and reinforce the clan's defenses to prevent a surprise attack by the Devourer army.”

"Yes!" the clan leaders replied in unison.

Ling Hao stepped forward: "I will go with you. I need to suppress the anomalies in the Boundary Core!"
