407: Awe-inspiring divine power, farewell to the Milky Way.

The hatch of the void crossing divine boat slowly opened.

Shen Yuanmo, dressed in green robes, stepped out slowly.

There was not a hint of magic power fluctuation on his body; his aura was completely restrained, making him look like a Mortal who had never practiced cultivation.

However, the moment the gazes of Qing Xuzi, Myriad Laws Daoist, and Daoist Xinghe touched him, their hearts all tightened!

It was a feeling that could not be described in words.

Shen Yuanmo was clearly standing right there, yet he seemed as if he were at the edge of the sky, separated from the entire world by an insurmountable barrier.

Especially those eyes of his.

Deep and calm, without a single ripple.

But when they tried to meet his gaze, they felt their Divine Soul...

...as if it were about to be sucked into a vast, boundless Chaos starry sky, instantly lost and completely submerged!

"Elder... Elder Shen!"

Qing Xuzi's voice trembled with excitement, his old face filled with undisguised joy and agitation.

He stepped forward quickly and bowed deeply and respectfully to Shen Yuanmo.

"You... you have returned safely. This old man's... this old man's hanging heart is finally at ease!"

For over a month, he had been unable to eat or sleep in peace.

He had personally felt the aftershocks of that world-destroying God-Slaying Tribulation deep within the God Burying Thunder Sea.

At one point, he thought Shen Yuanmo had perished under the Heavenly Tribulation, and he had been heartbroken and filled with regret.

To his surprise, not only had Shen Yuanmo returned, but he also seemed to have undergone some kind of earth-shaking transformation!

The other Elders following behind Qing Xuzi also bowed one after another, each showing extreme respect.

"Welcome back to the Sect, Elder Shen!"

Their posture was no longer that of facing a peer Guest Elder, but more like subordinates having an audience with an unfathomable, supreme being.

Myriad Laws Daoist and Daoist Xinghe came forward side by side, stopping a few Zhang away.

As the Sect Master and Grand Elder, their status did not allow them to lose their composure like Qing Xuzi.

But the waves of shock in their hearts were more violent than anyone else's!

"I can't see through him... I can't see through him at all!"

Myriad Laws Daoist was horrified.

He was a dignified Void Returning Great Perfection expert, just one step away from the Hedao Realm.

When his Divine Sense swept over Shen Yuanmo's body, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean; he couldn't detect a single trace of magic power.

There were only two possibilities.

Either Shen Yuanmo had mastered a supreme secret technique that could completely block detection.

Or his Realm had already far exceeded the scope of what he could understand!

Beside him, Daoist Xinghe's expression was even more solemn.

As a Dao Integration Realm Great Expert, his perception of Laws far surpassed that of Myriad Laws Daoist.

He could vaguely sense that the Space Law around Shen Yuanmo's body was twisting and collapsing in an extremely eerie manner, as if it were afraid of something.

"This boy... after Undergoing Tribulation, just what terrifying level has he reached?" Daoist Xinghe's heart was in turmoil.

"I've caused you all to worry."

Shen Yuanmo nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, as if he had just been away on a long trip.

With a casual wave of his hand...

...a purple electric arc leaped down from his shoulder, transforming into a palm-sized Qilin form, playfully circling Qing Xuzi at high speed.

"Zila—"

A tiny spark of electricity from the thunder spirit brushed against Qing Xuzi's Daoist robe.

Qing Xuzi's hair instantly stood on end as if he had been struck by lightning, his body freezing in place!

He felt a Thunder Law powerful enough to instantly annihilate him, a Void Returning Great Expert, along with his Divine Soul, into nothingness!

"This... this is..." Qing Xuzi was so startled that cold sweat immediately broke out.

The Zixiao Thunder Spirit, however, seemed to have only played a prank, as it obediently turned back into an electric arc and flew back to Shen Yuanmo's shoulder, rubbing against him affectionately.

Shen Yuanmo smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened.

But this insignificant action caused the hearts of all the high-level members of the Wanfa Immortal Sect present to tighten!

That thunder Spirit Beast emitting an aura of destruction probably had strength no less than a Void Returning Great Perfection expert, perhaps even more!

And yet, such a terrifying Vicious Beast was as obedient as a pet in front of Shen Yuanmo!

A brilliant light flashed in Daoist Xinghe's eyes.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, cupped his hands to Shen Yuanmo, and spoke with unprecedented solemnity.

"Elder Shen, this is not the place to talk. Please move to the Discussion Hall."

...Wanfa Immortal Sect, the Supreme Discussion Hall.

Inside the hall, there were only the most core high-level members of the Wanfa Immortal Sect.

"Elder Shen, I wonder if this trip to the Divine Treasury went smoothly?" Daoist Xinghe was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

Shen Yuanmo picked up the spiritual tea personally served by Qing Xuzi, took a small sip, and then spoke unhurriedly.

"It went fairly smoothly."

He briefly recounted his experiences in the Zixiao Divine Treasury.

Throughout the process, he spoke nonchalantly, as if recounting a trivial matter.

He didn't mention a word about that earth-shaking God-Slaying Tribulation, nor did he mention his frantic act of devouring the Thunder Emperor Lord and using his own body for Artifact Refining.

But even these fragments, simplified countless times, were enough to make the high-level members of the Wanfa Immortal Sect present tremble with fear and marvel inwardly.

"What? The previous Sect Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect, the Void Returning Great Perfection Sword Profound One, and the Hedao Realm Grand Elder Jian Wuchen both died in the Divine Treasury?"

Qing Xuzi cried out in shock.

"That Outer Realm Heart Demon actually had power comparable to the Hedao Realm?" Myriad Laws Daoist was also horrified.

They couldn't imagine how Shen Yuanmo, with his Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation, had suppressed everything and had the last laugh in such a perilous environment.

When Shen Yuanmo mentioned that he had successfully refined that terrifying thunder spirit and now completely controlled the entire Zixiao Divine Treasury...

...Myriad Laws Daoist and Daoist Xinghe could no longer sit still!

The two of them suddenly stood up from their seats and asked in unison, their voices urgent:

"Elder Shen! You mean... that ancient Divine Treasury left behind by Dao Lord Zixiao... is now completely under your control?!"

This question was too important!

They knew better than anyone what a complete ancient Great Power Divine Treasury meant for a Sect!

It represented endless resources, lost Legacies, and a massive trump card that could cause a Sect's strength to skyrocket in a short time!

Facing their burning gazes, Shen Yuanmo put down his teacup and nodded calmly.

"Precisely."

Receiving a positive answer, Myriad Laws Daoist's face turned red with excitement, and his breathing became heavy.

Daoist Xinghe's eyes also flashed with brilliant light, as if he could already see the future where the Wanfa Immortal Sect reigned supreme over the Eastern Region!

However, Shen Yuanmo's next words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly dousing their fervor and turning it into a bone-chilling shock.

"The Taiyi Sword Sect has provoked me repeatedly, and even sent a Hedao Realm Old Ancestor into the Divine Treasury to kill me."

Shen Yuanmo's tone remained flat, but the chilling killing intent within it caused the temperature of the entire hall to drop by several degrees.

"If this debt is not settled, my Dao Heart will find no peace."

He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said word by word:

"I, Shen, intend to settle scores with the Taiyi Sword Sect and... completely uproot them from the Eastern Region."

"I wonder, what is the Sect's opinion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Discussion Hall fell silent!

Everyone was stunned by Shen Yuanmo's earth-shattering words, their minds going blank.

Settle scores with the Taiyi Sword Sect?

Uproot them completely!

That was the Taiyi Sword Sect, which had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, with an unfathomable foundation, and stood as a hegemon of the Eastern Region alongside the Wanfa Immortal Sect!

The joy on Myriad Laws Daoist's face instantly froze, replaced by hesitation and struggle.

The Taiyi Sword Sect had no fewer than three Hedao Realm Grand Elders on the surface!

In the shadows, who knew if there were any more sleeping old monsters.

This... how could they fight?

For a moment, the hall was silent; no one dared to speak first.

Everyone's gaze converged on Daoist Xinghe.

As the strongest person in the Wanfa Immortal Sect, his decision was crucial.

Daoist Xinghe remained silent for a long time; he did not look at Myriad Laws Daoist.

Instead, he locked his gaze firmly on Shen Yuanmo's face, trying to see something beneath that calm expression.

Finally, he spoke in a low voice, his tone raspy and solemn.

"Elder Shen... destroying the Taiyi Sword Sect is no child's play."

"This old man only wants to ask one thing..."

"You, how much certainty do you have?"

Shen Yuanmo slowly raised his eyes to meet Daoist Xinghe's gaze.

In his eyes, a faint, imperceptible wisp of Chaos brilliance flashed and vanished.

Then his thin lips parted, and he uttered only two words.

"Ten-tenths."
