350: Soul Searching and Spirit Stealing, the Complete Picture of the Divine Treasury

Flesh exploded, and bone fragments scattered.

One punch.

It was only one punch.

The arrogant, terrifying Scarlet Flame Lion King, and the malicious and sinister Old Demon White Bone who had lived for countless years.

Two Half-step Void Return powerhouses, capable of stirring up storms of blood in the Eastern Region, had fallen just like that.

They didn't even manage to let out a complete scream.

They were utterly blasted apart in mid-air by Shen Yuanmo's seemingly ordinary fist, which actually contained the full power of the Chaos Dao Body!

Their Physical Bodies instantly turned into a sky full of blood mist and shattered bones.

Their Divine Souls, under the scouring of the utterly overbearing Chaos Dao Rhythm, were completely annihilated and returned to nothingness, without even a chance to escape!

For a moment, the entire world fell silent.

The energy storm that had been raging wildly and tearing the sky previously had subsided.

The Spatial Cracks, which had been constantly wailing, splitting, and healing due to the clash of Laws, also froze.

Between heaven and earth, only the blood rain and bone fragments were left, silently drifting down.

Narrating how terrifying and unbelievable everything that had just happened was.

Shen Yuanmo slowly retracted his fist, his expression calm, his deep eyes still as an ancient well.

To him, everything he had just done was merely swatting two buzzing, annoying flies.

They didn't even qualify to cause a ripple in the Magic Power within his body.

However, he did not stop there.

Although these two fellows were pitifully weak in his eyes.

They were, after all, local tyrants who had occupied this place for thousands of years.

Their understanding of this region and their knowledge of the so-called Divine Treasury were far superior to his, a newcomer.

Their memories were still useful to him.

"Gather."

Shen Yuanmo parted his thin lips slightly and uttered a single word softly.

Words Become Law!

As his voice fell, an utterly bizarre change occurred in the area where the blood mist and bone fragments had formed and where the Divine Souls had completely dispersed.

The scattered blood mist and shattered bones actually defied the Laws of physics.

They suddenly froze in mid-air, then began to collapse and converge inward in a strange manner.

From the center of the nothingness, two faint, almost completely dissipated illusory light figures were forcibly dragged back from the edge of Reincarnation by an invisible force.

One cluster was a violent crimson color.

The other cluster was a malicious spectral green color.

These were the last remnants of the Divine Soul Fragments of the Scarlet Flame Lion King and the Old Demon White Bone, preserved at the moment they were completely erased!

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, even a true Void Returning Great Expert arriving in person.

Facing such completely dispersed Divine Souls, it would be absolutely impossible to re-condense them.

But Shen Yuanmo was different!

His Chaos Great Dao encompasses everything, controls life and death, and reverses Reincarnation!

As long as there was the slightest trace remaining within this world, he could forcibly pull back a fragment of the Divine Soul!

"No... Impossible!"

"I... I'm already dead?!"

The two illusory light figures, the moment they were re-condensed, emitted Divine Thought fluctuations filled with horror and disbelief.

They could clearly feel that their Origin had been completely annihilated.

But why was their Consciousness still existing?!

This state, suspended between life and death, was even more terrifying than having their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering directly!

"Noisy."

Shen Yuanmo frowned slightly.

He clearly couldn't be bothered to waste another word on these two deceased entities.

He extended his right hand and gently clenched it towards the two illusory light figures across the air.

"Soul Search!"

Boom!

A Supreme Divine Sense Power, far more overbearing and terrifying than at any previous moment, erupted from his palm!

The two already fragile Divine Soul Fragments had no room for resistance against this terrifying Divine Thought.

Two huge openings were forcibly torn open from the core of their Origin!

"Ah—!"

"W-who exactly are you?! What have you done to us?!"

Two horrifying screams filled with endless pain and fear echoed wildly directly within Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately afterward, two vast and messy Torrents of Memory surged into his mind like a breached Heavenly River!

The Old Demon White Bone was a Demon Path Colossus in life, who died because he suffered Qi Deviation while Cultivating an Evil Technique.

By chance Opportunity, he was reborn from death in a Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse Pit, transforming into a Bone Demon, and eventually Cultivated to the Half-step Void Return stage.

The Scarlet Flame Lion King was a descendant of the Ancient Variant Species, the "True Sun Lion," possessing noble Bloodline and Extraordinary Talent.

From the day it was born, it dominated this mountain range, and ultimately, relying on its Bloodline Power, it also touched the threshold of Void Return.

The memories of the two of them spanned thousands of long years.

They contained countless secrets and intelligence regarding this region and the entire Eastern Region of the Canglan Realm!

If these messy memories were transferred to anyone else, even a Cultivator of the Same Stage, it would take months or even years to process.

But for Shen Yuanmo, this was just a snap of the fingers.

The Heaven-Defying Comprehension talent rapidly filtered, purified, and integrated these messy memories!

Countless useless images were instantly discarded, and critical information was accurately extracted.

Soon, he found exactly what he was looking for!

The Divine Treasury!

As expected!

This so-called Divine Treasury was exactly the same as the Unofficial Historical Records he had seen inside the Qingyun Sect Scripture Pavilion!

It was formed from the inner world of a Peerless Expert named Dao Lord Zixiao of the Hedao Realm, who shook the entire Canglan Realm in Ancient Times, after his passing!

That Dao Lord Zixiao mainly Cultivated the legendary Great Dao of Thunder, which ranks first among the Three Thousand Great Daos in terms of lethality!

During his life, relying on his superb Zixiao Divine Thunder, he slew countless Demon Path Colossuss of the same stage, establishing a mighty reputation!

And the Zixiao Divine Treasury formed after his death was hailed as the greatest Opportunity in the entire Eastern Region for ten thousand years!

However, that Divine Treasury was hidden by Dao Lord Zixiao using a supreme Divine Ability within the endless Spatial-Temporal Turbulence.

It would only reveal a faint aura every thousand years due to the tidal changes of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

To enter it, one must collect three keys to the Divine Treasury, which were formed from Dao Lord Zixiao's Natal Dao Artifact after it shattered!

The beast hide map in his hand was exactly one of them!

As for the other two, one is said to have fallen into the hands of the Eastern Region's foremost Sect, the Taiyi Sword Sect, thousands of years ago.

The last one remains unaccounted for to this day.

"So that's how it is..."

"No wonder it attracted so much covetousness."

Shen Yuanmo instantly understood.

With a shift of his Divine Thought, he casually crushed the two Torrents of Memory that had become worthless.

The two illusory light figures finally vanished completely between heaven and earth after letting out a long sigh of relief.

Having finished all this, Shen Yuanmo slowly cast his gaze upon the messy ruins below.

There were still two survivors there.

Yun Tianhe, and his daughter, Yun Waner.

Just now, when Shen Yuanmo made his move and stole the divine treasury key right under the noses of the two Half-step Void Return experts.

He also conveniently swept the two of them along.

At this moment, the father and daughter were sprawled out blankly in the clouds behind Shen Yuanmo.

Their faces were etched with stupefaction and shock that defied description.

Their brains had completely shut down due to the succession of earth-shattering events that were entirely beyond their scope of understanding.

First, the siege by Black Wind Stockade plunged them into despair.

Next, the arrival of the Void Shadow Leopard at Great Perfection of Soul Transformation Stage left them without even the right to despair.

And then, two peerless Half-step Void Return powerhouses confronted each other across the air, destroying heaven and earth!

And now... those two terrifying entities, who were like Gods and Demons in their eyes.

Were actually blasted apart by a single punch from the Young Man in Green Robes standing before them, who looked even younger than they were!

One punch!

Those were two Half-step Void Return experts!

This... was this a dream, or had they died and arrived in some unknowable Illusion?!

Yun Tianhe's throat bobbed, and he forcefully pinched his thigh.

The intense pain made his body tremble, instantly waking him from his dazed state.

It wasn't a dream!

All of this was real!

Awareness brought a fear deeper than any nightmare!

He looked at the calm, young figure standing before him with his hands clasped behind his back.

He felt as if all strength had instantly drained from his legs, leaving them weak and trembling!

He could no longer support himself.

With a "thump," he heavily knelt down!

Yun Waner, behind him, also awoke as if from a dream and quickly followed her father.

She knelt on the ground, her small body trembling intensely from fear, not daring to lift her head.

"J-Junior Yun Tianhe..."

"Gre... greets... Senior..."

His voice was filled with uncontrollable trembling and reverence.

He even felt that the title Senior was somewhat inadequate.

How could the person before him be merely a Senior?

This was clearly a True Immortal Walking Among Mortals!

Shen Yuanmo slowly turned around, his calm gaze falling upon the father and daughter, who were already Terrified Out of Their Wits.

He paid no attention to their kowtows, nor their fear-filled eyes.

He simply asked the question he cared about most, calmly.

"Where did you obtain this map?"
