Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

The twelfth believer's body completely turned into blood mist and merged into the magic circle. At that moment, a world-destroying power erupted from the center of the secret chamber!

That was not a purely physical impact, but a collapse originating from the level of laws.

A muffled sound, seemingly from the depths of the earth, like the final roar of a primordial beast, or the death knell before the end of the world, resounded throughout the entire fasting place with an irresistible force!

The sound was so deep and profound that it penetrated steel, rock, seawater, and even the soul.

It resonated deep within the souls of every prisoner, every guard, and every user of the [Forbidden Ruins] ability, causing their spirits to tremble and their [Forbidden Ruins] power to instinctively begin to stir.

Immediately afterwards, everyone, including the criminals imprisoned at the lowest level and in the corner, as well as those prisoners who had been "docile" by Lu Xuan, were astonished to find that the invisible shackles that had been suppressing the depths of their souls for years—the power of the [Suppressing Ruins Stele]—were receding like the tide!

It was a strange sensation, as if tens of thousands of invisible threads, which had tightly bound their bones, muscles and spirit, were suddenly torn off by a pair of invisible hands!

The lights inside the prison began to flicker violently, like the final lament of a dying creature.

The emergency alarm system was instantly overwhelmed by the sudden surge of energy. The piercing buzzing sounded briefly a few times before falling into complete silence.

The prison's power supply was also disrupted, plunging it into darkness. Only the backup power sources restarted a few seconds later with a heavy hum, illuminating the steel fortress with flickering light, adding to its eeriness and ominous atmosphere.

A brief, deathly silence spread throughout the monastery. Thousands of prisoners, whether previously unruly or as docile as lambs, now sat frozen in their cells, their faces etched with disbelief and bewilderment.

They felt this familiar yet long-lost anomaly, their minds going blank.

Then, in less than a breath, the deathly silence was completely shattered!

A wave of ecstasy, like magma suppressed for a thousand years, erupted from the chests of every prisoner in an instant!

"My power! My power has returned!" The first trembling, hoarse roar, tinged with tears, came from a dark cell.

Immediately following were bursts of ecstatic screams, heart-wrenching roars, and the deafening roars of various energy bursts!

The power of the Forbidden Ruins, which had been sealed away for so long, was completely released at this moment.

The feeling of suppression is gone forever; all the pores are opening up, and every cell is cheering with joy!

A burly man, once renowned for his "Earthquake" technique, slammed his fists into the hard alloy floor. With a deafening roar, the alloy floor beneath his feet caved in, sending shattered steel plates and concrete flying everywhere. The cell door twisted and deformed in the aftershocks, emitting a screeching sound.

He felt the powerful force of the earth surging within him, and roared to the sky, his voice filled with a yearning for freedom and violence.

Another madman, who once struck fear into the hearts of those who feared the Forbidden Ruins with his "Burning Blood" technique, had a flushed face and bloodshot eyes. He slammed his palms together, and two pure blood-red flames danced wildly in his palms, scorching and distorting the surrounding air.

He let out a maniacal laugh and threw a punch, shattering the bulletproof glass of the cell. Countless shards flew in all directions like blades.

Some used the [Void] Impermanence technique to silently penetrate physical walls, disappearing from the cell like ghosts; others used the [Great Strength] Impermanence technique to tear apart steel bars with their bare hands, producing a deafening scraping sound; still others used the [Illusion] Impermanence technique to instantly create realistic mirages, throwing the guards in the corridor into chaos...

In an instant, the entire fasting facility transformed from a well-ordered cage into a living hell, where chaos and violence began to spread unchecked in their most primal form.

Especially those prisoners who had been severely "disciplined" by Lu Xuan, now had no fear in their eyes, but rather a burning flame of revenge!

Every prisoner who had been rubbed against the wall by Lu Xuan in the cafeteria, had their limbs broken, or even watched their companions being blasted into bloody foam, suddenly snapped out of their terror and humiliation.

They felt the powerful strength that had been lost and regained within them, and they trembled with excitement, even letting out wild howls.

"Lu Xuan! I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

"Bastard! Without the Town-Suppressing Stele, let's see what you're still so arrogant about!"

"You damned lunatic! Today I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Their roars echoed each other, converging into a towering wave, the resentment and murderous intent contained within almost solidifying into a tangible form.

They had been deeply mired in the terror created by Lu Xuan, but now that terror had suddenly vanished, replaced by boundless confidence and arrogance!

They were like a pack of caged beasts, toyed with at Lu Xuan's will. Now that the cage is broken, all they want is to tear their former master to pieces!

All of this was clearly perceived by Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan, who were in a secluded room in the central tower.

"This energy fluctuation... the Zhenxu Stele has malfunctioned!"

Cao Yuan let out a low shout, his originally calm face now filled with solemnity.

He felt the long-suppressed [Shadow] within him begin to roar like a dragon awakening, an extreme sharpness and a thirst for dark power surging through his blood. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Baili Pangpang's expression changed drastically. His obese body trembled uncontrollably, not out of fear, but out of an instinctive alertness to the impending chaos.

His [Free Space] Forbidden Ruins also began to operate uncontrollably, and subtle ripples appeared in the surrounding space, as if it were about to be torn apart at any moment.

"My God! Old Cao, this is really going to be a disaster!"

Baili Pangpang's voice was trembling with tears, "This...this whole prison of monsters has been released! Old Lu...he doesn't really think he can control this bunch of madmen who only know how to kill!"

Beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and his obese body instinctively wanted to shrink back.

Cao Yuan ignored Baili Pangpang's complaints. He just stared intently at the alloy door of the room, his eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

He knew all too well that the existence of the Zhenxu Stele was the sole reason for maintaining order in this prison. Now that these shackles were broken, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The true horror of this hell on earth has only just begun!

And their "brother," Lu Xuan, who seemed relaxed and carefree, was right at the very center of this storm.

Outside the window, the sky was completely swallowed up by dark clouds, and thick streaks of lightning ripped across the horizon, illuminating the prison's menacing silhouette.

The torrential rain poured down, accompanied by rolling thunder, like the war drums sounding for the impending catastrophe.

Inside the prison, countless users of forbidden abilities were enjoying the thrill of regaining their power. The long-lost exhilaration stimulated their nerves like strong liquor, driving them into a frenzy.
