341: Destroying demons with a flick of the finger, a first exploration of this realm.
The moment the golden giant palm, formed by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, appeared, the already chaotic battlefield fell completely silent.
The Azure-Armored Brute Ox, which was just about to unleash its innate Divine Ability to crush the three annoying “bugs” before it.
An unprecedented terror and fear erupted in its bronze-bell-sized beast eyes!
A sense of absolute submission to a higher life form, originating from the deepest part of its Bloodline, instantly seized its Yao soul!
It couldn't even conjure the thought of escaping!
It could only watch, wide-eyed, as the golden giant palm, seemingly capable of eclipsing the sky, rapidly expanded in its pupils!
“Roar...”
A mournful cry, filled with endless fear and despair, was squeezed out from deep within its throat with difficulty.
The next moment.
The golden giant palm descended with a crash!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no world-destroying momentum.
The giant palm simply landed casually on the head of the Azure-Armored Brute Ox, which stood dozens of feet tall.
“Puff!”
A muffled sound, like a watermelon being crushed.
That Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Yao, with its formidable Physical Body capable of withstanding Magic Treasures.
Its colossal body, along with its indestructible Yao soul.
Was forcibly crushed into a bloody pulp of flesh and mud beneath that golden giant palm!
Both form and spirit annihilated!
One palm, instant kill!
After accomplishing all of this, the golden giant palm slowly dissipated in mid-air, transforming into pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, returning to this world.
As if it had never appeared.
The entire world returned to silence.
Only the three Cultivators who had narrowly escaped death remained, standing rooted to the spot like three stone statues.
Their faces were filled with indescribable shock and bewilderment.
“Wha... what... just happened?” The young female Cultivator murmured, her voice trembling.
“That... that beast... is dead?”
Another young male Cultivator rubbed his eyes vigorously, making sure he wasn't dreaming.
They looked at the puddle of bloody mud nearby, which was completely unrecognizable, and felt their minds go blank.
One palm!
Just one palm!
It had crushed a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Yao, which even the three of them combined couldn't handle, to death?!
This... what kind of terrifying strength was this!
“Junior, Li Xuanfeng, a Disciple of Qingyun Sect!”
“Many thanks, Senior, for saving my life!”
The leading middle-aged man, after all, had more experience; he was the first to react.
He forcefully suppressed the tumultuous waves in his heart and performed a respectful kowtow to the empty Void Realm!
He knew that this was definitely an unparalleled expert, someone he didn't even have the qualifications to look up to, who was passing by!
The two young Disciples behind him also woke from their stupor and quickly followed suit, kneeling heavily towards the Void Realm.
“Junior Lin Wan'er, many thanks, Senior, for saving my life!”
“Junior Zhang Hao, many thanks, Senior, for saving my life!”
Their voices were filled with genuine awe and gratitude.
However, no matter how they called out or how they thanked him.
There was no further response from the Void Realm.
As if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion... Inside the cave.
Shen Yuanmo slowly retracted his outstretched finger.
His face remained as calm as an ancient well.
That palm strike earlier was merely an incidental action.
He hadn't even used one ten-thousandth of his power.
He had simply mobilized a wisp of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from this place, condensing it into a palm.
And easily eradicated that Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Yao, which could have stirred up a bloody storm in the outside world, on the spot!
“Is this the Soul Transformation Realm?”
Shen Yuanmo muttered to himself, feeling the unprecedented close connection between himself and this world, and a trace of enlightenment once again arose in his heart.
In Chiming Realm, although he could also mobilize Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it was more like borrowing.
But here, he felt as if he had become a part of this world!
With just a thought, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a radius of ten thousand li could be used by him!
Words become law!
This was the true Soul Transformation Realm!
“My injuries have recovered by seventy to eighty percent.”
“It's time to go out and take a look.”
Shen Yuanmo stood up and stretched, his bones immediately emitting a series of crackling sounds.
With a thought, the two Dao Artifacts, which he had been nourishing with his Dharma power, transformed into two streams of light and re-entered his body.
Afterward, he once again circulated the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture, fully concealing his vast aura, which had already returned to its Peak state.
This time, he did not disguise himself as a Mortal again.
Instead, he simulated his cultivation as an unremarkable Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
In this world rampant with Yao Beasts and powerful experts, a Mortal with no cultivation was simply too conspicuous.
Conversely, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, though not strong, possessed a certain degree of self-preservation and was the kind of existence that would go unnoticed when thrown into a crowd.
Caution is the parent of safety.
Before thoroughly understanding the details of this world, low-key is always the best choice.
After doing all this, Shen Yuanmo waved his hand and removed the numerous Restrictions outside the cave.
His figure flickered, and he silently appeared outside the cave.
He identified the direction, which was precisely the direction the three Qingyun Sect Disciples had left.
He chose not to fly, but instead employed a superior light-body martial art from the Mortal world, moving like a true wisp of smoke, silently traversing the dense forest.
He intended to visit the so-called Qingyun Sect.
He needed to obtain more information about this world from there... Qingyun Sect.
It is located in the Eastern Domain of Canglan Realm, atop a High Grade fourth-tier Spiritual Vein named Qingyun Mountain.
It is the foremost Immortal Cultivation Great Sect within a hundred thousand li radius!
Within the Sect, there are tens of thousands of Disciples, over a hundred Golden Core Elders, and three Nascent Soul Stage Grand Elders presiding deep within the Sect.
Ordinarily, the entire Qingyun Sect exuded an immortal aura, peaceful and serene.
However, today, the atmosphere of Qingyun Sect seemed somewhat heavy.
Inside the Sect's main hall.
The Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, a refined-looking middle-aged Daoist whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Mid-stage, was frowning deeply, listening to a Disciple's report from below.
“Sect Master! That Azure-Armored Brute Ox is back again!”
“Today, Senior Brother Li Xuanfeng took two Junior Brothers down the mountain for training, and they almost fell victim to its poisonous claws!”
“If not for an unknown Senior expert intervening, Junior Martial Uncle Li and the others would have already...”
The Disciple responsible for the report said with lingering fear.
“Those beasts again?” Immortal Master Xuanyang, the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, looked even more displeased.
“These beasts are getting more and more rampant lately!”
“Sect Master, we cannot sit back and do nothing anymore!”
Below the main hall, a hot-tempered Golden Core Elder suddenly stood up and declared loudly.
“Those beasts are entrenched outside our Sect, not only ambushing our Disciples but also monopolizing all the Spirit Medicine in that area! If this continues, where will Qingyun Sect's dignity be?!”
“But those beasts, after all, possess Nascent Soul cultivation, formidable Physical Bodies, and strange Divine Abilities! If we attack rashly, I'm afraid...”
Another Elder, however, showed a troubled expression.
“Are we just going to let them run rampant over Qingyun Sect?!”
For a time, the entire main hall was filled with endless arguments over this matter.
And while they were arguing incessantly.
A figure, like a ghost, had already silently passed through their proudly guarded Mountain Protection Array.
And arrived at the back mountain of Qingyun Sect, before an inconspicuous, seven-story stone pagoda.
Scripture Pavilion.
Shen Yuanmo looked up at the stone pagoda before him, which exuded a faint scholarly aura, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
Once upon a time, he too had embarked on his Heaven-Defying path within his Family's dust-covered Scripture Pavilion.
He didn't hesitate; with a flicker of his figure, he directly passed through the stone pagoda's wall, as if entering an unmanned territory.
