404: Chaos as a furnace, reforging the armor

The Zixiao Divine Treasury, the center of Myriad Thunder Return Ruins.

The endless thunder that once roared ceaselessly was now docile and obedient.

It lay silent in this vast space, paying the most instinctive reverence to the figure on the throne.

Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed.

He did not deliberately emit any Qi, but the surrounding Void Realm, in his unconscious breathing,

displayed ripples like water, collapsing at times and healing at others.

The madness and frenzy of Undergoing Tribulation had long faded, replaced by a tranquility refined to the extreme.

An absolute confidence that controlled everything.

Shen Yuanmo immersed his mind into his body, carefully comprehending this unprecedented transformation.

In his Dantian Qi Sea, the chaos dao embryo, which looked exactly like him, sat cross-legged with a solemn and majestic appearance.

Unlike a Nascent Soul, it did not absorb and release Magic Power; instead, it floated silently, seemingly forming a Universe of its own.

Every subtle vibration caused the Magic Power surging like a Celestial River in his Meridians to resonate with it.

His Magic Power was no longer merely Chaos Qi.

It was mixed with wisps of purple-gold electric light—the Heavenly Dao Origin forcibly seized from the God-Slaying Tribulation, carrying the undeniable majesty of Law of Judgment.

"Peak Middle Stage Void Returning..."

Shen Yuanmo made an accurate assessment in his heart and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were deep; as he opened and closed them, phantoms of Chaos opening and Star Rivers revolving flashed across his pupils.

His Cultivation Base was now stable.

Next, it was time to prepare for the coming Reckoning against the Taiyi Sword Sect.

Shen Yuanmo moved his mind, and flipped his palm.

Huala la—

A pile of dim, broken armor fragments, and an ancient bronze mirror covered in cracks with its Spiritual Light nearly extinguished, floated before him.

These were none other than the chaos myriad dao armor, which had blocked a fatal strike for him during the God-Slaying Tribulation but ultimately shattered under the burden.

As well as the Spoils of War seized from Jian Wuchen: the damaged Rank Seven Dao Artifact, the taiyi ancient mirror.

Looking at the fragments of the Battle Armor that had accompanied him for so long, Shen Yuanmo felt a sense of pity.

The chaos myriad dao armor only lasted Half an Instant before shattering under the full power strike of the Heavenly Dao's Will.

This proved that the Rank Five High Grade Dao Artifact, the chaos myriad dao armor, could no longer keep up with his progress.

"Only through Destruction can new life be established."

Shen Yuanmo's fingertip gently brushed over the chaos myriad dao armor, muttering softly to himself.

"Today, I shall grant you an unprecedented Creation."

His gaze shifted from the chaos myriad dao armor to the equally damaged taiyi ancient mirror.

Although the mirror was damaged, a trace of extremely pure Law of Illusion-Shattering dao rhyme still remained at its core.

That was a power capable of seeing through all Illusions in the world and pointing directly to the Origin.

If an ordinary Artifact Refining Great Grandmaster were here, they might spend a thousand years,

searching for countless Heaven And Earth Treasure, carefully repairing and melting these two Magic Treasures.

But for the current Shen Yuanmo.

Why bother with such trouble?

His gaze suddenly sharpened, focusing on his Dantian Qi Sea.

On the chaos dao embryo, which was eternally still and seemed to be the source of the Myriad Dao.

What Furnace could compare to his own chaos dao embryo, which had devoured the Heavenly Dao Origin!

What Divine Flame could compare to his Origin Fire, which was founded upon the Chaos Great Dao!

A crazy and bold idea surfaced in Shen Yuanmo's mind and instantly turned into a resolution.

"Ordinary Artifact Refining Methods are useless to me now."

"Today, I shall use myself as the Furnace, the dao embryo as the fire, and the Heavenly Dao Origin as the material, to recast a Supreme Battle Armor for myself!"

The moment his voice fell, the space behind Shen Yuanmo abruptly twisted.

A Chaos Phantom, Ten Thousand Zhang tall and identical to his appearance, slowly emerged from the Void!

This phantom was precisely the external manifestation of his chaos dao embryo: the Dharma Idol!

The moment it appeared, the entire Zixiao Divine Treasury trembled, and the Thunder Laws dormant in Myriad Thunder Return Ruins.

actually let out wails of fear, as if they had encountered a Supreme Sovereign!

The chaos dao embryo Dharma Idol slowly lowered its head, its indifferent eyes staring at the armor fragments and the ancient mirror before it, and then it opened its mouth.

There was no sound, no suction force.

A miniature Chaos Domain, profound to the extreme, was exhaled from its mouth, completely enveloping the armor fragments and the taiyi ancient mirror!

Light, Divine Sense, Law... any matter or energy entering it was instantly decomposed, assimilated, and returned to the most primitive Chaos.

"It's not enough."

Shen Yuanmo's expression was indifferent, and his mind moved again.

He activated the purest trace of Law of Judgment Origin he had devoured from the Thunder Emperor Lord during his Undergoing Tribulation!

That trace of Origin transformed into a golden thread, which he flicked into the miniature Chaos Domain.

Boom!

It was as if a drop of water had been added to a pot of calm oil!

The entire Chaos Domain instantly boiled!

The remnants of the chaos myriad dao armor and the taiyi ancient mirror.

In this boiling Chaos, they couldn't even last a single breath before being completely decomposed into hundreds of millions of the most primitive Law Runes!

Five Elements, Destruction, Ziwei, Space-Time... and the core Illusion-Shattering Rune from the taiyi ancient mirror!

Countless Law Runes floated and sank in the Chaos Domain, flashing with different lights, yet they were firmly suppressed by the power of Chaos, unable to break free.

Shen Yuanmo's eyes had now transformed into a Starry Chessboard.

Insight into Origin activated!

Perfect Deduction activated!

Under the control of his Dao Integration Stage-Grade Divine Sense, those hundreds of millions of Law Runes seemed to turn into the most obedient soldiers.

They began to undergo reorganization, weaving, and Fusion in a brand new, unprecedented sequence!

This was a god-like Creation process!

Shen Yuanmo discarded the original complex structure of the chaos myriad dao armor and abandoned the redundant functions of the taiyi ancient mirror.

He only wanted the two most essential and purest things.

The bearing and tolerance of Chaos.

And the insight and Annihilation of illusion-shattering!

And he imprinted that trace of Law of Judgment Origin as the core driving force of the new Battle Armor!

Time lost its meaning at this moment.

Perhaps it was one Hour, or perhaps several Hours.

When the last Law Rune was precisely imprinted onto the heart position of the Battle Armor by Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense Will.

The boiling Chaos Domain suddenly contracted and returned to silence.

The Chaos dissipated.

A brand new Battle Armor quietly floated before Shen Yuanmo.

Its entire body displayed a deep, dark color like Eternal Night, with no splendid patterns on its surface.

There was no dazzling Treasure Light, not even the slightest fluctuation of Magic Power.

It simply floated there silently, like a work of art crafted from Ordinary Iron.

However, when Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense swept over it, he felt a suffocating sense of deathly stillness capable of freezing the Soul rush toward him!

The Battle Armor's form became simpler, fitting the human body more closely, with sharp lines radiating a Killing Aura.

The only thing that could be called decoration was the position over its heart.

The ziwei heavenly crystal was gone, replaced by a thumb-sized, slowly rotating miniature Chaos Vortex.

It seemed to be connected to a Ruin Universe, capable of devouring everything in the world.

Shen Yuanmo's Divine Thought gently probed into it.

A vast and magnificent flood of information instantly poured into his mind.

Rank Six Low Grade Dao Artifact!

Reaching the Heavens in a Single Step!

At the same time, the chaos myriad dao armor also gave birth to a brand new and unique Divine Ability.

Chaos - Delusion Breaking Divine Light!

From the Chaos Vortex at the heart, a Chaos Divine Light capable of annihilating All Laws and judging all things could be emitted.

"Not bad."

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Shen Yuanmo's face.

With a thought, the chaos myriad dao armor instantly transformed into a stream of light, integrating into his body and perfectly matching his Chaos Dao Body.

He felt his entire body was perfectly harmonious and transparent, with power surging vigorously.

It was as if this Battle Armor was originally an extension of his body.

He even had a feeling that wearing this Rank Six Dao Artifact Battle Armor,

his Overall Combat Power was sufficient to directly contend with a true Middle Stage Hedao Realm Mighty Expert!

Having completed all this, Shen Yuanmo slowly stood up.

He had solved the problem of the chaos myriad dao armor.

So next... his gaze fell upon the great evolution immortal slaying sword floating quietly nearby, its blade circulating with ten thousand dao rhyme.

"You've been at Rank Five Medium Grade for a bit too long, haven't you? It's time to raise your rank."
