When an engine burns that much oil a rebuild is inevitable!

Would worn rings not reduce compression, is the blow by not passing down around the worn rings, Have I got this wrong?
The thing is that the engine is not burning oil in the conventional manner ie by having it drip down past the valve seals or bypass the oil rings, it seems that it is blowing it from the crankcase into the air intake and burning it almost as part of the fuel/air mix..
