340: Temporarily residing in the cave, frantically recovering.

Inside the mountain cave, it was silent.

The layers of Restrictions set up by Shen Yuanmo completely isolated the inside from the outside, forming a safe, independent space.

He sat cross-legged, his mind sinking into his Dantian Qi Sea.

That Chaos space, which had already evolved into a miniature Universe, was now in utter disarray.

On the spatial barrier that formed the cornerstone of the Universe, spiderweb-like cracks were densely packed, and countless tiny spatial fragments peeled off at the edges, as if they could completely shatter at any moment, reducing everything to nothingness.

At the center of the Universe, the chaos myriad dao nascent soul, sitting cross-legged, also appeared illusory and unstable, with the Dao Rhyme halo surrounding it flickering on and off.

Clearly, a massive amount of Origin power had been drained from him during that astonishing gamble.

"This is... playing a bit too big."

Shen Yuanmo observed his own condition with a bitter smile.

If his Chaos Dao Body hadn't been greatly enhanced when he refined the Void Returning Stage Vengeful Spirit earlier, making its toughness far surpass those of the same Realm.

If that newly advanced High Grade Fifth-Tier Dao Artifact, the chaos myriad dao armor, hadn't erupted with dazzling divine light at the last moment, bearing over ninety percent of the space-time backlash for him.

He would probably have already been crushed into cosmic dust by that world-destroying spatial teleportation power.

However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward!

Although he was severely injured, the immense joy of successfully arriving in a higher world.

And the infinite longing for the future made his Dao Heart more resolute and uplifted than ever before!

"Let's begin!"

Shen Yuanmo collected his thoughts and stopped overthinking.

Boom!

It was as if a dried riverbed, parched for billions of years, finally welcomed the pouring down of the Heavenly River!

Outside the mountain cave, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, so dense it almost solidified into spiritual mist, suddenly went berserk!

They were summoned by an irresistible terrifying gravitational pull, transforming into visible white Qi Dragons that frantically poured into this inconspicuous mountain cave!

The Qi Dragons passed through layers of Restrictions without any hindrance, directly surging into Shen Yuanmo's body.

His already reborn Chaos Dao Body, at this moment, transformed into a supreme furnace, directly decomposing and refining this pure and vast Spiritual Qi!

In the end, they transformed into streams of Chaos Qi that were purer and vaster than at any time before!

"Hiss..."

An indescribable feeling of comfort instantly swept through every inch of his flesh and blood, every thought of his Divine Soul!

That feeling was like a traveler who had trekked for months in an endless, desolate desert, almost dying of thirst, suddenly plunging into a cool, sweet oasis spring!

His Physical Body, which was on the verge of collapse from forcibly acting as a town, began to repair itself at an unimaginable speed under the frenzied nourishment of this pure energy.

It began to repair itself at an unimaginable speed!

Those broken Meridians, under the cleansing of Chaos Qi, reconnected in a tougher and wider form!

Those dislocated organs, enveloped by this gentle power, slowly returned to their positions, once again exuding vigorous vitality!

His damaged Chaos Dao Body, furthermore, underwent earth-shattering transformations in every inch of flesh and blood, every bone, under the infusion of this massive amount of Spiritual Qi!

This recovery speed was more than a hundred times faster than when he was in the Chiming Realm!

"So, this is true Cultivation!"

Shen Yuanmo exclaimed heartily in his mind!

Cultivating in a place like the Chiming Realm, where Spiritual Qi was depleted and Laws were incomplete, required immense effort for every step forward, like dancing in the deep sea while wearing countless shackles.

But here, he felt that every breath, every exhalation, resonated perfectly with this Heaven and Earth!

His cultivation and his Dao were both progressing rapidly and naturally through this resonance!

Time, in this luxurious recovery, passed little by little.

Outside the mountain cave, the sun and moon rotated, and seasons changed.

Unknowingly, three months had quietly passed.

On this day.

Shen Yuanmo, who was fully focused on healing in the mountain cave, suddenly felt a slight stir in his mind and abruptly opened his eyes.

His gaze was profound, as if it penetrated the thick stone walls of the mountain cave and the layers of profound Restrictions, landing on a dense forest several miles away.

A fierce battle was taking place there.

On one side was a terrifying Yao Beast, dozens of feet tall, covered in green scales, shaped like a savage bull, and sporting a ferocious single horn on its head.

This Yao Beast's aura was incredibly powerful, having clearly reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage Realm!

Each of its charges carried terrifying immense force capable of shattering mountains, causing the earth to tremble!

Each roar transformed into substantial sound waves, shaking all the towering ancient trees that required several people to embrace into dust!

Its opponents were three Cultivators wearing unified green Daoist robes.

Two men and one woman.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a resolute face, holding a red Flying Sword, whose cultivation had already reached the Late Golden Core Stage!

The other man and woman were much younger, appearing to be in their early twenties, and their cultivations were both at the Early Golden Core Stage.

At this moment, these three were forming a simple Three Talents Sword Formation, relying on their exquisite cooperation to desperately contend with that terrifying Late Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast.

"Senior Brother! This beast's hide is too thick! Our Flying Swords can't break its defense at all!"

The young female Cultivator shouted, her pretty face pale and her voice anxious, while struggling to maintain the sword formation's operation.

"Hold on a little longer!"

The leading middle-aged man was also drenched in sweat, his expression extremely grim.

"I've already sent a distress signal to the Sect! As long as we can hold out until the Elders arrive, we'll be saved!"

"But... I can't hold on much longer!"

The other young male Cultivator was even more disheveled.

His Flying Sword, during a recent head-on clash, was actually struck by the Yao Beast's single horn, leaving a clear crack, severely damaging its spirituality and dimming its light!

"Roar!"

Just as they were speaking, the Green Armored Savage Bull seemed to lose all patience.

It let out an earth-shattering roar, and a blinding blue lightning bolt suddenly lit up on its single horn, which shimmered with a cold metallic luster!

A destructive aura frantically spread from within that lightning!

"Oh no! It's its Natal Divine Ability! Azure Wood Divine Thunder!"

The leading middle-aged man's pupils contracted the moment he saw the lightning, and his entire face lost all color.

He knew that they absolutely couldn't block this strike!

Could it be that they were truly destined to perish here today?

Just at this critical moment.

A calm voice, yet seemingly containing an undeniable majesty, sounded in the ears of the three of them without any warning.

"You beast, do not be so arrogant."

The moment the voice fell.

An enormous golden palm, completely condensed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, quietly extended from above the Nine Heavens!

On that palm, the five fingers were distinct, and the palm lines were clearly visible, as if it were cast from true divine gold, exuding a terrifying pressure that could suppress all ages and obliterate everything!

It gently pressed down on the arrogant Green Armored Savage Bull, which was about to unleash its Natal Divine Ability!
