383: Provoking through the door, drawing out the demon.

Upon receiving Shen Yuanmo's command, the Zixiao Thunder Spirit's small body trembled violently.

In its pure purple eyes, a trace of fear originating from life instinct emerged.

But this fear was submerged in the next instant by its absolute obedience to its master.

It let out a low cry, its form turning into a streak of purple light, silently merging into the Void Realm of the Myriad Thunder Return Ruins.

In an instant, it connected with the Restriction core at the deepest part of the entire Divine Treasury.

Having done all this, Shen Yuanmo started walking again.

One step.

Two steps.

He walked back toward that Gate of Time and Space emitting an aura of endless dead silence and ominousness.

Eventually, Shen Yuanmo stopped less than a hundred zhang from the gate.

This distance was just right.

It allowed the Heart Demon behind the gate to clearly sense him, this supreme delicacy, while leaving himself enough room to react.

Then, Shen Yuanmo made an even crazier move.

With a thought, he actively dispersed most of the defensive brilliance of the chaos myriad dao armor on his body, allowing that bone-chilling devilish intent to wash over his dao body.

He slowly raised his right hand, a flash of light appearing at his fingertips.

A drop of Lifeblood, crimson as a blood diamond yet wreathed in wisps of hazy grey Chaos aura, was forced out.

As soon as this drop of essence blood appeared, the surrounding thunder Laws emitted an overburdened wail, as if they were about to be assimilated by the supreme dao rhyme contained within.

In the next moment, Shen Yuanmo flicked his finger.

This drop of extremely pure Chaos Dao Body Origin essence blood drifted lightly before that rippling Gate of Time and Space.

This action was no different from throwing a piece of top-tier Divine Grade flesh directly to a prehistoric shark that had been starved for eons.

Boom—!!!

The dark world behind the gate instantly erupted in a riot!

The black speck of light that had been pulsing rhythmically suddenly increased its pulse frequency by hundreds or thousands of times the moment it sensed the Chaos essence blood!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound was no longer a dull tapping, but turned into a frantic roar like a beating drum!

Silent roars mixed with endless longing and greed turned into a physical spiritual tsunami, frantically battering the Gate of Time and Space.

The entire Myriad Thunder Return Ruins trembled violently under this terrifying wave of devilish intent.

Countless massive thunder chains appeared in the Void Realm and shattered; the entire Divine Treasury space could collapse at any moment under this fury.

“Just like that...”

Shen Yuanmo, bearing the terrifying pressure enough to crush the Divine Soul of a Void Return Stage Cultivator on the spot, wore a satisfied expression.

He activated [Insight into Origin].

In his eyes, countless golden runes flowed frantically.

Amidst that storm-like Divine Soul impact, he carefully observed every reaction of the Heart Demon, analyzing every trace of its power fluctuation.

Shen Yuanmo became even more certain.

This Heart Demon was truly pinned firmly within that skeleton.

It was a giant of infinite power, yet held by an invisible chain.

Locked firmly in place, unable to break free no matter how it struggled.

Having confirmed this, all of Shen Yuanmo's concerns vanished.

He looked up, calmly gazing at the golden skeleton trembling frantically behind the gate.

A crystal clear Divine Thought, carrying undisguised contempt and ridicule, was transmitted directly.

“A wisp of a remnant soul from outside the region, without even a body of your own, only able to usurp the remains of others like a parasite.”

“With trash like you, do you even deserve to covet my Dao Body?”

Shen Yuanmo's voice was extremely flat.

But every word turned into a poisoned dagger, stabbing deeply into the Heart Demon's arrogant self-esteem.

“Roar—!!!”

From behind the gate, a roar full of extreme anger, unlike anything a living creature could produce, exploded!

The massive golden skeleton shuddered violently!

Crack!

A giant hand, composed entirely of pure golden bone yet wreathed in endless black ominous Devilish Qi,

actually tore through the spatial constraints, carrying a terrifying aura that decayed all things and annihilated everything,

and suddenly thrust out from that Gate of Time and Space.

This hand was too big.

So large it was comparable to a towering mountain range.

The moment it appeared, the light of the entire Myriad Thunder Return Ruins was obscured, and the terrifying pressure caused the surrounding thunder to stagnate.

Its target was only one.

Shen Yuanmo!

However, Shen Yuanmo had long expected this.

At the very moment the giant golden hand was about to grab him,

his figure flickered, and the long-prepared Zixiao Thunder Spirit acted simultaneously.

“Rise!”

Buzz—!!!

The Laws of the entire Myriad Thunder Return Ruins were completely triggered at this moment.

Endless purple thunder was no longer scattered energy, but turned into billions of indestructible Chains of Order.

They emerged from the Void Realm, turning into living divine Dragons, layering upon each other and frantically coiling around the giant golden hand protruding from the Gate of Time and Space.

Crackling!

The thunder chains and that ominous Devilish Qi collided and annihilated each other frantically, erupting in blinding light.

The advancing speed of the giant golden hand was abruptly slowed for an instant by this sudden Restriction power.

And that single moment of delay was enough.

Shen Yuanmo's figure flashed like a ghost, nimbly passing through the gaps of the giant hand's fingers, appearing a thousand zhang away.

He didn't even look back, only sending out another Divine Thought filled with mockery.

“The power is decent, but unfortunately...”

“Too slow.”

“And, it seems... you really can't come out.”

Boom!!!

This nonchalant remark pushed the Heart Demon's anger to its peak.

It had been toyed with and provoked repeatedly by an ant.

It could no longer endure the humiliation of being trapped in a cage, forced to watch its prey flaunt its power right before its eyes.

“COME—OUT—FOR—ME!!!”

A roar filled with endless madness and determination rang out from behind the gate.

That black heart's light surged to the limit, and it actually began to recklessly burn the Origin power within Dao Lord Zixiao's remains.

It actually began to forcibly tear at that Gate of Time and Space,

aiming to drag the entire massive golden skeleton out of that dark world,

forcing its descent upon the Myriad Thunder Return Ruins.

Seeing this, Shen Yuanmo finally revealed a cold smile.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

“Zixiao! Reinforce the spatial barriers with all your strength! Hold it back for me!”

At Shen Yuanmo's command, the Zixiao Thunder Spirit unleashed the Restriction power of the entire Divine Treasury to its limit without hesitation.

On one side, the Heart Demon was burning the Dao Lord's remains at any cost, pulling outward frantically.

On the other side, Shen Yuanmo was using the power of the entire Divine Treasury to stabilize inward firmly.

A terrifying tug-of-war, comparable to a battle between gods, unfolded around the Gate of Time and Space.

Two world-destroying forces formed a violent clash and stalemate at the node of the Gate of Time and Space.

Waves of world-destroying terrifying energy fluctuations could no longer be contained by the Divine Treasury space.

They turned into a violent tsunami, instantly breaking through the boundaries of the Zixiao Divine Treasury.

Centering on the Myriad Thunder Return Ruins, they swept frantically toward the vast region at the junction of the Eastern Region and Southern Separation.

Its intensity even surpassed the scope of the Hedao Realm.

Instantly, it attracted the gaze of the top existences in this world.
