397: The Chaos Furnace, where all paths converge into one.

Thunder techniques and Sword Dao—two vastly different yet equally domineering Law Profound Truths—lay coiled and dormant within his Chaos Great Dao.

The gains from this trip to the Zixiao Divine Treasury were simply too immense.

Whether it was the mark of the Origin of the Thunder Great Dao that Dao Lord Zixiao had exhausted his entire life to cultivate, or the ancient Legacy of the entire Taiyi Sword Sect possessed by Jian Wuchen.

Either one was enough to allow an ordinary Cultivator to undergo a rebirth, becoming a Void Return Stage expert, or even a Dao Integration Great Expert.

And now, they had all become fuel for the growth of Shen Yuanmo's Chaos Great Dao.

"Thunder techniques govern life and death, while Sword Dao governs slaughter..."

Shen Yuanmo's mind was calm, like a cold pool that had remained frozen for eternity.

"However, this is far from enough!"

His ambition went far beyond this.

What Shen Yuanmo wanted to do was to melt all his past insights, all his knowledge, and all his Laws into a single furnace, forging a true fundamental technique that belonged solely to him!

Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged at the center of the Myriad Thunder Return Ruins, his thoughts suddenly shifting.

"Burn!"

A single word, like a decree from Heaven.

Rumble!

The entire Zixiao Divine Treasury, this vast and boundless world, trembled violently at this moment!

Endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was forcibly extracted from the mountains, the earth, and every inch of space by an irresistible, domineering will.

At the same time, an even crazier feast was unfolding within his storage space.

That was the terrifying wealth looted from Jian Wuchen, Sword Profound One, the Blood-Eyed Giant, the Black-Robed Demonic Cultivator, and others—wealth enough to make any top-tier Sect green with envy!

Towering mountain ranges piled high with Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

The instant Shen Yuanmo's will was issued, they collapsed with a roar, turning into a torrent of pure energy that was viscous to the extreme!

Ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines, Dao Integration-grade Divine Pills, and countless rare treasures and Heaven And Earth Treasures... at this moment, they lost their original forms and value, all turning into firewood!

The endless energy formed a seven-colored torrent visible to the naked eye.

Like billions of roaring rivers returning to the sea, it surged madly into Shen Yuanmo's body from all directions.

How terrifying that energy torrent was; every wisp contained a violent force capable of tearing apart mountains and evaporating rivers.

The dao body of an ordinary Void Return Stage expert would be blown apart by this torrent in an instant, turning into insignificant dust between heaven and earth.

Yet Shen Yuanmo's Physical Body remained as steady as a rock, unmoving.

The Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture within his body operated frantically with unprecedented efficiency.

Within his Dantian Sea of Qi, that grayish vortex of Chaos Qi had shockingly transformed into a terrifying, bottomless black hole!

All the energy torrents surging into his body were, the moment they touched the Chaos Qi, domineeringly decomposed, assimilated, and returned to their Origin!

In the end, they all turned into the purest Chaos Qi!

Inside the Dantian.

That chaos myriad dao nascent soul, which had a face identical to Shen Yuanmo's, began to expand in size at an exaggerated, visible speed under the infusion of the massive amount of Chaos Qi.

Its body became increasingly solid, and a jade-like luster, as if it were real flesh and blood, even emerged on its skin.

chaotic airflow circulated on its surface, outlining perfect muscle lines, with every inch containing explosive power.

The eyes of the Nascent Soul were no longer a simple chaotic color.

Within them, billions of stars seemed to be born and perish, deep enough to devour all light and Divine Soul in the world.

"【Perfect Deduction】, activate!"

Shen Yuanmo's mind was clear, and he pushed his terrifying Divine Sense, which had already entered the Dao Integration level, without reservation.

His goal was his own fundamental technique—the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture!

This supreme Cultivation Technique, created by his own hands, now had the possibility of further evolution and perfection as his cultivation level improved and his horizons broadened!

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the star chessboard shone brightly, operating frantically with unprecedented intensity.

The life-and-death cycle of the Thunder Great Dao.

The supreme sharpness of the Sword Dao.

The mutual generation and restriction of the Five Elements Great Dao.

The unpredictable nature of the Space Law.

The beginningless and endless nature of the Time dao rhyme.

And the massive amount of Formation Dao, Alchemy Dao, and Artifact Dao he had analyzed from the Myriad Dao Pavilion of the Wanfa Immortal Sect...

All the Laws and all the knowledge he had comprehended, seen, and analyzed, at this moment, turned into individual chess pieces on the chessboard!

They were no longer isolated existences.

Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they began to crazily fuse with unprecedented depth toward a single core—the Chaos Great Dao!

Optimization!

Integration!

Shen Yuanmo's aura became incomparably ethereal and eerie at this moment.

At times, lightning exploded around him, and he transformed into the Thunder Emperor Lord who held the power of Heaven's punishment, his violent will of destruction making the entire Void Realm tremble.

At times, his whole body emitted an invincible, sharp aura, and an invisible Sword Intent soared into the sky, wanting to slash an irreparable gash into the firmament!

At times, the Five Elements rotated, endless and ceaseless.

At times, space folded, and time became chaotic.

In the end, all the phenomena returned to silence, turning into that piece of Chaos Grandmist that seemed to be the Origin of all things.

Dead silence, nothingness, yet nurturing all possibilities.

In this deep state of seclusion, time lost its meaning.

When Shen Yuanmo regained perception of the outside world, half a year had already passed.

The Spiritual Qi storm of the Myriad Thunder Return Ruins had long since subsided.

All the Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and Heaven And Earth Treasures he had accumulated had been completely consumed.

All the energy and all the insights had been fully transformed into fuel for his Breakthrough.

Shen Yuanmo could clearly feel that the power within his body had overflowed to a critical point.

The chaos myriad dao nascent soul in his Dantian had become as solid as a real person.

The Chaos divine light swirling around it was restrained to the extreme, as if it would burst out of his body in the next moment, transforming into a true immortal god.

The accumulation had reached its limit!

The time had come!

Boom!!!

Shen Yuanmo suddenly opened his eyes!

In an instant, two grayish divine lights, indescribable in words, shot out from the depths of his eyes.

They instantly pierced through the layers of the Void Realm before him, leaving behind two bottomless, pitch-black passages that even the Space Law could not heal!

Shen Yuanmo slowly raised his head.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the boundary of the Divine Treasury, through the endless spatial turbulence, and see into the boundless dark Void Realm above the Nine Heavens...

A vast, majestic, and terrifying heavenly might, filled with the will of destruction and judgment, was slowly gathering!

That power was enough to make any Cultivator at the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation feel despair and trembling from the depths of their Soul!

Yet on Shen Yuanmo's face, there was not a trace of fear; instead, a monstrous Battle Intent and heroic spirit surged up.

He had waited for this day for too long.

"My Void Return Tribulation..."

"It is coming!"
