526: Chapter 526 Chaos Dao Palace, Setting Sail Across the Starry Sea

Inside the central hall of the Immortal Abode, Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged.

The color-shifting orb of light before him was the heart of the entire Immortal Abode.

He knew that within this core hub, the deepest and most stubborn Divine Soul brand of the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries must still remain.

This brand was integrated with the hundreds of millions of Formation patterns and Restrictions of the entire Immortal Abode.

It was the final backup plan left by the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries.

Even if the Possession failed, as long as the brand was not extinguished.

Latecomers would never truly control this place, at most obtaining some usage permissions.

To completely erase it, an ordinary Mahayana Saint Lord might not succeed even after spending thousands or tens of thousands of years of painstaking effort.

But for Shen Yuanmo, this was not difficult.

His Divine Sense had long ago reached the level of a Half-Step Immortal Soul.

"Rise."

Shen Yuanmo uttered a single word.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the chaos divine man suddenly opened its eyes.

His supreme Divine Thought turned into an invisible torrent, piercing through the Void Realm and pouring straight into the core of the orb.

Buzz—

The orb trembled violently, as if a sleeping Dragon inside had been startled awake.

A golden world suddenly unfolded within Shen Yuanmo's perception.

It was a space of will constructed from pure immortal dao rules.

In the center of the space sat a blurry yet infinitely majestic phantom of a golden emperor.

That phantom was precisely the final Divine Soul brand left by the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries.

It had no independent consciousness, only following instinct to repel all outsiders and suppress any will that dared to provoke it.

"Immortal Might like a Prison, Command over All Laws!"

A grand and cold voice rang out directly within Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense.

The golden emperor phantom raised its hand, and the entire space of will instantly turned into a golden cage.

Endless chains of immortal dao runess appeared out of thin air, strangling toward Shen Yuanmo's Divine Thought.

Facing such suppression, Shen Yuanmo's Divine Thought did not ripple in the slightest.

"Showing off your meager skills before a master."

His Divine Thought, which had already transformed into a Half-Step Immortal Soul, manifested the appearance of the chaos divine man within the golden cage.

Although only a hundred zhang tall and seemingly insignificant compared to the golden emperor phantom.

But the Aura it emitted was even more ancient and profound, as if it stood above the myriad Daos.

At the brow of the chaos divine man, that ancient Yuan Character General Outline slowly emerged.

Once this character appeared, the entire golden space of will came to a standstill.

Those originally menacing chains of immortal dao runess actually let out overburdened wails, and the immortal light flowing upon them dimmed significantly.

"Before my Great Dao, your Great Dao is but one of the myriad Daos."

Shen Yuanmo's voice rang out from the mouth of the chaos divine man, carrying a calmness that was merely stating a fact.

"Chaos, Returning to Origin!"

Boom!

With the Yuan Character General Outline as the core, a gray Chaos Domain suddenly expanded.

The golden cage touched the edge of the Chaos Domain, but no world-shaking collision occurred.

Instead, like spring snow meeting the scorching sun, it silently melted and decomposed, turning into golden specks of light that were completely devoured by the Chaos Domain.

"Roar!"

The golden emperor phantom let out an instinctive roar; it felt an Aura like that of a natural enemy.

It mobilized all its power, and the entire space of will began to collapse.

It transformed into a world-splitting golden giant axe, cleaving down toward the chaos divine man.

The chaos divine man merely raised a hand slowly.

Upon that palm, chaotic airflow swirled, as if it were holding up a newly born Universe.

The golden giant axe fell, striking the center of the palm.

There was no sound.

There was no energy storm.

That giant axe, capable of shattering a Mahayana Saint Lord along with their dao foundation, the moment it touched the Chaos palm...

It began to decompose inch by inch starting from the blade, turning into pure immortal dao Origin and being completely absorbed by the palm.

A moment later, the golden emperor phantom along with the entire space of will was completely assimilated.

The vibration of the central orb subsided.

All the golden brands belonging to the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries within it had been replaced by a small, gray Yuan Character General Outline.

From this moment on, this Immortal Abode truly and completely belonged to Shen Yuanmo.

An unprecedented sense of control arose spontaneously; every corner and every inch of space in the Immortal Abode seemed to become an extension of his body, moving as easily as his own limbs.

But this was not enough.

"The Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries' Immortal Abode was, after all, tailored for his own immortal dao. To me, there are constraints everywhere."

Shen Yuanmo slightly closed his eyes, and his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Golden Finger was fully activated.

"Insight into Origin, activate!"

In an instant, the structure of the entire Immortal Abode was completely decomposed in his mind.

It was no longer grand halls or profound Restrictions.

But rather veins of energy circulation, nodes composed of Laws, and the underlying construction logic behind them.

He saw the energy core of this Immortal Abode, which was an Immortal Spirit Pool that absorbed external Spiritual Qi and converted it into stored Immortal Spirit Qi.

He saw its defense system, the Nine Mysteries Heaven-Defending Grand Array, composed of three thousand six hundred immortal dao Restrictions.

He saw its flight principle, which relied on burning Immortal Jade for propulsion and performing spatial jumps.

Exquisite, powerful.

But in Shen Yuanmo's eyes, there was also plenty of room for improvement.

"Perfect Deduction, activate!"

Shen Yuanmo's mind was completely immersed in the modification of the Immortal Abode.

His goal was not minor repairs.

But rather to reshape this Nine Mysteries Immortal Abode from its Foundation into a Chaos Dojo that belonged solely to him!

First was the energy core of the Immortal Abode.

"The Immortal Spirit Pool's scale is too small, and its conversion efficiency is too limited."

In Shen Yuanmo's mind, countless plans flashed by and were rejected one by one.

Finally, an extremely bold plan took shape.

"Using my chaos dao embryo as a template, I will transform the Immortal Spirit Pool into a chaos furnace!"

"Not limited to Spiritual Qi or Immortal Qi; Stellar Power, Void Turbulence, and even the enemy's Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures can all serve as fuel."

"Refining them into the most primordial Chaos Qi to nourish the entire Dao Palace and myself!"

With the plan set, the deduction began.

Countless extremely complex Formation runes were born and extinguished in his Sea of Consciousness, then reorganized into a brand-new structure.

In the real world, the central orb of the Immortal Abode shone brightly.

Deep underground in the Immortal Abode's energy core area, the massive Immortal Spirit Pool began to churn violently.

On the pool walls, golden immortal dao Formation patterns began to twist and collapse, subsequently replaced by more ancient and profound gray Chaos Runes.

The entire Immortal Abode let out a low rumble, as if undergoing a transformative surgery.

Next was the defense system.

"The Nine Mysteries Heaven-Defending Grand Array is purely passive defense—a waste. For my dojo, the integration of offense and defense is the kingly way."

"Deduce, the Myriad Dao Returning Origin Chaos Grand Array!"

Using the original grand array as a skeleton, he integrated the true meaning of the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture.

In the future, if a powerful enemy attacks, this grand array will not only defend but also actively expand a Chaos Domain.

Any attack hitting it will be absorbed, assimilated, and decomposed by the grand array, ultimately becoming nourishment for the chaos furnace.

The harder they strike, the more abundant the Dao Palace's energy will be.

After that were the offensive means.

"Simple flight and spatial jumping are not enough. Since there is an infinite energy source like the chaos furnace, how can there be no killing methods to match it?"

"Deduce, Chaos Annihilation Divine Light!"

Shen Yuanmo greatly amplified the Divine Ability from his chaos myriad dao armor, the Chaos Truth-Piercing Divine Light.

Using the entire Dao Palace as a carrier and the chaos furnace as an energy source, he constructed a main cannon array at the top of the Dao Palace.

With a single strike, it would be enough to completely erase an asteroid or even a Small World!

The pill room, artifact room, herb garden... everything underwent a world-shaking transformation under Shen Yuanmo's control.

The herb garden, originally shrouded in Immortal Qi, was injected with wisps of Chaos Qi.

These immortal herbs and Divine Plants actually underwent strange mutations at a speed visible to the naked eye, their medicinal properties evolving toward a more domineering and primordial direction.

The entire Immortal Abode was under Shen Yuanmo's will.

From a relic belonging to a True Immortal, it transformed into a thorough war fortress and mobile dojo born solely for his Chaos Great Dao!

This process lasted for an unknown amount of time.

When Shen Yuanmo opened his eyes again, the style of the entire hall had changed significantly.

The walls, originally forged from Immortal Gold, now presented a profound Chaos color, with star-like runes flickering upon them like a miniature Universe.

He could feel that he and this brand-new Dao Palace were now inseparable.

With a thought, the entire Dao Palace responded like his own body.

"From now on, you shall no longer be called the Nine Mysteries Immortal Abode."

Shen Yuanmo stood up, surveying this masterpiece branded with all of his Great Daos.

"It shall be called the Chaos Dao Palace."

He softly bestowed the name.

The moment his words fell, four ancient dao characters—Chaos Dao Palace—formed out of thin air above the main entrance of the hall, emitting an Aura that suppressed the ages.

"Everything is ready."

Shen Yuanmo took a step, and his figure already appeared in the main control room of the Dao Palace.

Before him was a vast star map composed of light and shadow, precisely the Tianyuan Star Domain Map obtained from the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Mysteries.

Chiming Realm, Canglan Realm, Spirit Realm, Xuanhuang Great World... familiar names flickered in the remote corners of the star map.

His gaze swept across these points of light, finally landing on the more distant, unknown, and profound sea of stars.

"Canglan Realm, it's time to leave."

There was no longer the slightest hesitation in Shen Yuanmo's heart.

He formed hand seals, and the Chaos Magic Power in his body poured unreservedly into the Dao Palace's core.

"Chaos Dao Palace, rise!"
