269: When the scriptures were first completed, chaos began to stir.

Inside the Five Elements Hall, Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged on the White Jade Throne, his mind completely immersed in the Sea of Consciousness world composed of billions of Law runes.

His Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability was pushed to an unprecedented maximum, and within his Sea of Consciousness, winds rose and clouds surged!

The Great Five Elements Glazed Art, the Nine Revolutions Spirit Refining Art, and the various Great Dao Laws Shen Yuanmo had comprehended.

At this moment, they were all completely disassembled by an invisible force, transforming into the most primitive and fundamental Law threads, densely covering his entire Sea of Consciousness.

This was a project billions of times more vast and complex than when he had previously performed the Fusion of the Crimson Sun Glazed Scripture and the Five Elements Rotation Scripture!

After all, what Shen Yuanmo was doing was not simple mending, nor was it the Fusion of Cultivation Techniques.

Instead, he was using Chaos as the Foundation and the Myriad Daos as the guide to create a fundamental Cultivation Technique that truly belonged to him alone: the unique path of the Myriad Daos Returning to One!

The consumption of Divine Soul during this process was terrifying and unimaginable.

Shen Yuanmo felt that his Divine Soul was like an ancient machine running on overload; every part was groaning under the unbearable burden, ready to completely collapse at any moment.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Divine Soul power, which was originally vast like misty waves, was drying up and depleting at a visible rate.

A tearing agony, originating from the Soul Origin, struck in waves like a tide, nearly drowning his consciousness completely.

The Nine Revolutions Spirit Refining Art had long since begun operating frantically on its own to the extreme, without being consciously activated, attempting to squeeze out the last trace of power from the depleted Sea of Consciousness to maintain this frenzied Deduction.

But it was still not enough! Far from enough!

The difficulty of creating a fundamental Law capable of encompassing the Myriad Daos had already exceeded Shen Yuanmo's previous imagination!

"My Divine Soul... can't hold on..."

Shen Yuanmo's consciousness began to blur, and his vision was intermittently darkening. He could clearly feel tiny cracks appearing in his Sea of Consciousness—a precursor to his Divine Soul's imminent collapse.

"Not enough! My Divine Soul power is still insufficient!"

Shen Yuanmo let out a silent roar in his heart, and a look of fierce determination flashed across his eyes.

Without hesitation, with a shift of thought, he directly retrieved several jade bottles carved from ten-thousand-year-old Warm Jade from his Storage Ring.

These jade bottles were all filled with Fourth-Tier Top-grade Divine Pills specifically used to nourish the Divine Soul and restore Divine Sense!

The Nine Revolutions Spirit Condensing Pill!

The Grand Unity Soul Nurturing Dew!

The Purple Mansion Spirit Containing Pellet!

Any single bottle, if taken out, would be a supreme treasure enough to drive a Nascent Soul True Lord crazy, making them fight fiercely for it.

But at this moment, in Shen Yuanmo's eyes, these were merely... fuel to help him step onto the Supreme Dao!

He didn't even glance at the labels on the jade bottles; he immediately pulled out the stoppers.

He poured the dozen or so Medicinal Pills, which were the size of longans, shimmered with colorful light, and emitted a refreshing medicinal fragrance, into his mouth all at once, as if they were candies!

Boom!

The dozen or so Fourth-Tier Top-grade Divine Pills melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a torrent of majestic, vast, and supremely pure medicinal power, which bypassed all Meridians and directly rushed into his Sea of Consciousness, which was nearly dry and depleted!

The feeling was like instantly pouring an entire ocean into a piece of land that was about to completely crack open!

"Ugh..."

Shen Yuanmo let out an uncontrollable muffled groan. He felt as if his head was about to be burst open by this massive medicinal power!

Golden Divine Soul blood once again seeped out of his seven orifices, making him look utterly wretched.

But his eyes, at this moment, shone terrifyingly bright!

"Again!"

He endured the intense pain of his Divine Soul nearly bursting, turning all this immense medicinal power into fuel for the Perfect Deduction!

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the billions of Law threads once again collided, combined, annihilated, and underwent Rebirth at a speed more than ten times faster than before!

Supported by this massive medicinal power, the framework of the new Cultivation Technique began to take shape rapidly at an incredible speed!

Under the billions of simulations performed by the Perfect Deduction, which transcended the concepts of time and space, the Qi Refining Chapter and the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture were instantly perfected and reconstructed by Shen Yuanmo from a higher-dimensional perspective, reaching the perfect state he could currently deduce!

Next was the Golden Core Chapter!

One hour... two hours... after an unknown period of time, the moment the last rune of the Golden Core Chapter was successfully deduced and perfectly embedded into the Cultivation Technique framework.

Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense, which had been restored by countless precious Medicinal Pills, was actually depleted once again!

The medicinal power of those dozen or so Fourth-Tier Top-grade Divine Pills was completely consumed by him in such a short period!

But the Deduction of the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture was not yet over!

The most crucial and core part, the Nascent Soul Chapter, had just begun!

The Nascent Soul is the nascent form of a Cultivator's Dao Fruit, the Foundation that carries the Cultivator's Great Dao and Laws, and the bridge leading to higher Realms!

The difficulty of deducing the Nascent Soul Chapter was hundreds or thousands of times greater than all the previous chapters combined!

"Still not enough... far from enough..."

Shen Yuanmo's consciousness blurred again. He could feel that his Divine Soul had truly reached the brink of exhaustion.

Although there were still some Divine Soul restoring Medicinal Pills in his Storage Ring, their grade was not high, and distant water could not quench immediate thirst.

Was the Deduction of the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture going to stop here?

Just as a trace of powerlessness arose in Shen Yuanmo's heart and he prepared to end this Cultivation Technique Deduction.

Buzz—

Inside his Dantian, the chaos dao seed, which had been silent and merged with the heart of chaos origin, seemed to sense its master's unwillingness and desire.

It actually trembled slightly.

Immediately afterward, a wave of Chaos Dao Rhyme, purer and vaster than ever before, emanated from the dao seed. Following the Origin connection between it and his Divine Soul, it slowly poured into his Sea of Consciousness, which was on the verge of collapsing completely!

"This is... the power of the heart of chaos origin!"

Shen Yuanmo's mind was violently shaken!

He knew this was his best chance to deduce the Nascent Soul Chapter of the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture in one go!

He dared not delay in the slightest, immediately investing all of this incomparably precious Chaos Dao Rhyme into the Deduction of the Nascent Soul Chapter!

He no longer tried to build it from scratch; instead, he treated the unique chaos dao seed within his Dantian as the most perfect reference object, the ultimate template!

He began to integrate the mysteries of the Great Dao Laws he had comprehended—the Five Elements, Creation and Destruction, Life and Death, Time and Space, Karma, and so on—into the general outline of the Nascent Soul Chapter, thread by thread, bit by bit, like a precise programmer writing the lowest level code!

This process was tedious yet perilous!

Every step had to be flawless!

Any slight error could lead to the complete collapse of the entire Cultivation Technique framework, rendering all his previous efforts useless!

Time, at this moment, seemed to lose its meaning.

Shen Yuanmo's mind had completely merged with the world of Deduction.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed.

When Shen Yuanmo perfectly embedded the last trace of the Law thread into the general outline of the Cultivation Technique, forming a flawless, self-contained, perfect closed loop.

Boom—!!!

His entire Sea of Consciousness suddenly erupted with ten thousand feet of Chaos Divine Light!

All the Law threads, all the runes, and all the Dao Rhymes, at this moment, seemed to have found their ultimate, unique destination!

They silently and perfectly merged together!

A complete scripture—grand, profound, ancient, and perfect, seemingly containing the ultimate truth of the Universe's creation and destruction and the Myriad Daos Returning to One—slowly flowed through his mind.

Every character seemed to be personally written by Chaos, and every syllable seemed to be the initial whisper of the Great Dao!

The Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture!

It was done!

This Supreme Fundamental Law, destined to shake the past and illuminate the present, transcending the understanding of all Cultivation Techniques in this world, was finally, truly born in his hands!

In the outside world, Shen Yuanmo, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes!

Two beams of Chaos Divine Light, containing the rotation of the Myriad Daos and the Universe's creation and destruction, flashed out of his eyes, actually piercing two bottomless black holes in the Void Realm before him, which took a long time to heal.

"Hoo..."

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi.

The turbid Qi, while in the air, actually manifested illusory images of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and vegetation, before finally returning to a state of Chaos and dissipating into nothingness.

"It's finally... done..."

Shen Yuanmo's voice was hoarse, but his face showed uncontrollable ecstasy.

Without the slightest hesitation, and without even taking the time to feel the profundities of this Cultivation Technique, he immediately attempted to run the unique Cultivation Technique described in the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture for the first time!

The instant the Cultivation Technique began to operate!

Inside his Dantian, at the center of the hazy Chaos space, the chaos dao seed, which had been slowly rotating, violently shook!

Immediately afterward, it began to spin frantically along a brand new, supremely profound trajectory, more than ten thousand times faster than before!

An overwhelmingly tyrannical and terrifying suction force, as if intending to devour all the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, erupted from the dao seed!

RUMBLE—!

The entire Five Elements Hall suddenly shook violently!

Outside the hall, the Five Elements Small World, spanning ten thousand miles, saw winds rise and clouds change color!

The endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to be pulled out forcefully, as if responding to an irresistible summons, from the mountains, the rivers, the earth, the sky... from every corner of this world!

They gathered into billions of visible Spiritual Qi torrents, letting out deafening roars as they crazily poured back toward the Five Elements Hall!

The moment this Spiritual Qi passed through the Five Elements Hall's Restriction and surged into Shen Yuanmo's body, it was immediately processed by his Innate Dao Body, which had long since been fundamentally transformed.

It was directly decomposed, refined, and converted into the most Origin and purest Chaos Qi, all flowing into the frantically spinning chaos dao seed!

Shen Yuanmo's Dantian was no longer a passive container.

It had become a rapidly expanding... Cosmic Singularity!

"My heavens... What... what exactly is this?!"

Beside him, the hall spirit, who was acting as Protector, watched the unbelievable scene unfolding. Its body, composed of light and shadow, flickered violently, almost scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering on the spot!

It discovered with extreme dread that the Spiritual Qi concentration of the entire Five Elements Small World was rapidly decreasing at a visible rate!

And all the Spiritual Qi was being swallowed by that single, small figure on the throne!

The speed and efficiency of this Spiritual Qi absorption were more terrifying and tyrannical than if ten, no, a hundred Deity Transformation Stage Mighty Ones were Cultivating here simultaneously!

At this rate, within a few days, the Origin Spiritual Vein of this Small World, which the Five Elements True Lord had spent his life refining, would be completely sucked dry by him alone!

How is this Cultivation?!

This is clearly the rhythm of devouring a world!
