446: Void Wanderer, Robber Encounters Fellow Travelers

The chaos void boat traveled through the endless darkness, like a ghost fish blending into the deep sea, silent and soundless.

Time lost its meaning here.

Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged in the pavilion of the inner courtyard within the chaos void boat; the mist from the spiritual tea at his side had gathered and dispersed countless times.

Several months of time passed quietly.

This piece of extraterritorial Void Realm was a desperate land of near-certain death for others.

To him, however, it was a novel journey.

Shen Yuanmo had witnessed Law Waterfalls formed from the pure Law of Destruction, born from nothingness and returning to nothingness.

That magnificent collapse was enough to make the Dao Heart of a Dao Integration Great Expert tremble.

He had also passed through an area shrouded in distorted temporal power, where countless fragments of broken worlds were pulled and stretched.

They transformed into a giant hourglass of time suspended in the Void Realm, performing a bizarre Reincarnation.

The existence of the chaos void boat allowed him to safely appreciate these wonders of the Universe from the perspective of a bystander.

The natural dao patterns on the boat's hull perfectly matched the Void Realm. When those space-time turbulences and Law storms, capable of tearing apart a dao body, swept past the ship...

They couldn't even stir a single ripple. Instead, they were slowly absorbed, transforming into energy to power the divine boat.

Just as Shen Yuanmo was immersed in analyzing the structure of a newly born Law storm...

His mind stirred slightly, and his gaze pierced through the boat's light screen, looking toward the endless darkness ahead.

In his Divine Sense perception, three massive shadows were silently closing in from different directions.

Those were not Void Behemoths, but three warships.

The warships were styled extremely ferociously, their entire bodies pitch black.

The hulls were covered with hideous ramming prows that looked as if they had been carved by knives and axes, along with massive scars, seemingly having experienced countless tragic battles.

Evil Qi and Devilish Qi, so thick they could not be dispersed, swirled around the warships like signal fire smoke, staining the nearby Void Realm with an ominous dark red layer.

The chaos void boat paused slightly and stopped in place.

Almost at the same time, a coarse and arrogant Divine Thought exploded in Shen Yuanmo's ear like a clap of thunder.

“I opened this road! I planted this tree! If you want to pass through here, leave behind your road-buying money!”

The voice was filled with unquestionable overbearingness and greed.

Shen Yuanmo picked up his teacup, his movements not changing in the slightest, not even lifting an eyelid.

His Divine Sense had already swept over those three warships like spilled mercury.

There were many demonic cultivators on the ships, mostly of the Soul Transformation and Void Refining levels, while at the lead, there were three in the Hedao Realm.

The one with the highest cultivation was merely at the Dao Integration Early Stage, with a floating aura and an unstable Foundation.

Clearly, they had taken some unorthodox path to barely achieve a Breakthrough.

With just this level of strength, they dared to act as bandits in the Sea of Void.

A strange thought rose in Shen Yuanmo's heart.

He was even somewhat curious about what these people relied on.

To survive in this desperate land while piloting those three broken ships that looked like they could fall apart at any moment.

Just then, on one of the warships, a demonic cultivator with only one eye and a face covered in scars...

Stared fixedly at the chaos void boat hovering in the Void Realm, a terrifying light of greed instantly erupting from that single eye.

His voice became sharp and ear-piercing due to extreme excitement, screaming directly into the bandit leader's ear.

“Boss! It's a top-grade! It's an immense top-grade item!”

“Look at that boat! Look at the dao patterns on the hull! Those are naturally formed space-time dao patterns!”

“This is definitely a flying boat treasure of the seventh rank or higher! We're rich! We've truly struck it rich this time!”

The one called Boss was a burly man with a face full of coarse flesh.

He was already dissatisfied by Shen Yuanmo's lack of response, and upon hearing his subordinate's words, the greed in his heart was instantly ignited to the extreme.

The burly man could not sense the cultivation aura of the person inside the boat at all; that divine boat was like a perfect black hole, isolating everything.

But in his view, there was only one explanation.

The person in the boat was either of too low cultivation, or was a direct Disciple of some super power, traveling out with a life-protecting treasure bestowed by an elder.

No matter which one it was, today, they were destined to become his spoils!

Kill and seize the treasure!

These five words instantly occupied the burly man's entire mind.

“Jie jie jie...”

The burly man let out a burst of tooth-grating, cruel laughter.

His Dao Integration Early Stage pressure was released without reservation, transforming into a tangible tide of Devilish Qi that surged toward the chaos void boat.

“Kid, there's a road to Heaven but you won't take it; there's no door to Hell but you barge in!”

“Hand over this boat of yours and everything on your person to this lord!”

His Divine Thought carried mockery and cruelty: “For the sake of this precious boat, this lord is in a good mood today and can show some mercy to let you die quickly!”

The demonic cultivators on the other two warships also let out bloodthirsty wild laughter, as if they already saw the scene of the boat destroyed and the person dead, with them dividing the treasures.

Inside the chaos void boat, the courtyard remained the same, with water flowing gurglingly.

Shen Yuanmo finally slowly raised his eyelids.

Through the light screen, he calmly watched the group of bandits outside who looked like crazed demons.

There was no anger or killing intent in his eyes, only a trace of pure indifference, as if he were looking at a group of buffoons.

He gently set down his teacup, and a flat thought clearly entered the Sea of Consciousness of all the demonic cultivators.

“How much do you know about the Central Continent Divine Land?”

In an instant, all the wild laughter and clamor came to an abrupt halt.

The burly bandit leader was stunned, and the demonic cultivators around him were also all stunned.

They had imagined the other party begging for mercy, being terrified, or even putting up a blustering resistance.

But they had never imagined the other party would ask such an irrelevant question.

After a brief dead silence, the burly bandit leader seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and burst into earth-shaking wild laughter again.

“Hahahaha! Central Continent Divine Land? Kid, are you scared stupid? Still trying to fish for information to stall for time? Too late!”

The flesh on his face twitched frantically, and his single eye was full of cruel, murderous light.

“Blast his turtle shell to pieces for me! Drag him out; I want him to know what it means to wish for life but cannot live, and wish for death but cannot die!”

“Do it!”

At the command.

On the three ferocious demonic warships, hundreds of pitch-black cannon muzzles instantly lit up with eye-searing blood-colored light.

Hum—

Three demonic light cannons, as thick as mountains and carrying terrifying energy enough to annihilate stars, tore through the dark Void Realm.

From three directions, in a triangular formation, they slammed fiercely toward the quietly hovering dark-gold divine boat.

Looking at those three world-destroying demonic lights, a victorious cruel smile had already appeared on the bandit leader's face.

He didn't believe there was any flying boat in this world that could take a direct volley from the main cannons of three God-Slaying Warships while completely off-guard.

Inside the chaos void boat.

Shen Yuanmo looked at those three grand demonic lights and gently shook his head.

He picked up his teacup, blew on the non-existent dust on it, and softly spat out two words.

“Noisy.”

The moment the words fell.

At the smooth and elegant bow of the chaos void boat, in the center of the perfectly integrated space-time dao patterns, a needle-sized black dot quietly emerged.

Immediately after, a strand of chaotic divine light, thinner than a hair and almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, flashed out from it.

There was no sound.

No explosion.

There wasn't even any violent fluctuation of energy.

That chaotic divine light seemed to transcend time and space; the moment it was fired, it had already reached its destination.

The chaotic divine light swept past the first demonic light cannon; that violent torrent of energy instantly froze, and then from beginning to end, it dissipated silently.

It swept past the second, and the third.

The result was exactly the same.

Immediately following, the chaotic divine light's momentum did not decrease, and it quietly swept past those three ferocious demonic warships.

On the ships, the cruel smile on the burly bandit leader's face was still frozen.

Those demonic cultivators who were ready to cheer still maintained their postures from the previous moment.

The next instant.

Starting from the bandit leader, to every demonic cultivator, and then to the massive and sturdy warships beneath their feet.

Everything, at the same time, lost all color and form.

They were completely erased from this world.

The whole process took no more than a breath.

The Void Realm, which had been filled with overwhelming demonic flames and clamor just now, instantly returned to eternal silence and coldness.

It was as if everything that had just happened was only an illusion.

Inside the chaos void boat, Shen Yuanmo drank the spiritual tea in his cup in one gulp.

The temperature of the tea was just right.

He set down the teacup and cast his gaze once more toward the distant depths of the Void Realm; there, in the direction of the Central Continent Divine Land.

“It seems that finding a guide is a bit more troublesome than imagined.”

He muttered to himself, and then with a thought.

The chaos void boat swayed slightly and once again merged into the endless nothingness, disappearing without a trace, leaving behind only an unchanging, ancient darkness.
