537: Chapter 537 Chaos Furnace, Immortal Ship Disintegration

Heavenly Meteor, Power Core.

That quietly floating diamond-shaped crystal was only the size of a thumb, yet it felt like the heart of the entire grand Universe.

primordial immortal crystal.

Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense merely touched its edges.

He felt his chaos dao embryo—that Deity of Ten Thousand Daos presiding over his Dantian Sea of Qi—tremble violently in an endless resonance.

It wasn't simple desire, but a pursuit of higher-level Daos and principles originating from the very source of life.

It felt as if by devouring the primordial immortal crystal, his Chaos Great Dao might instantly break through some unimaginable bottleneck and ascend to the heavens in a single step.

However, in that instant, Shen Yuanmo's Dao Heart became clearer and calmer than ever before.

He could feel that the source of the Dao contained within this crystal held a status too high, exceeding his current scope of understanding.

Forcefully refining it would lead to only one end.

His chaos dao embryo would be burst by the vast, boundless Origin of the Universe, resulting in the total destruction of his spirit and form.

To Shen Yuanmo, this primordial immortal crystal was both a poison and a supreme opportunity.

The time had not yet come.

“My Master, this is an Immortal Emperor's treasure. If you could...”

The ship spirit's fanatical fluctuations of will echoed in Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness; it knew the value of this immortal crystal better than anyone.

“I know.”

Shen Yuanmo interrupted it.

His Divine Sense slowly moved away from that intoxicating crystal without the slightest hint of lingering attachment.

This level of willpower made the core of the newly-subjugated ship spirit's will tremble.

That was a primordial immortal crystal!

A supreme treasure that even an Immortal King would go mad for!

His New Master was actually able to suppress the greed in his heart so easily.

What a terrifying Dao Heart this was.

Immediately after, Shen Yuanmo uttered a command so brief that it caused the ship spirit's will to stagnate.

“Disassemble.”

“...My Master?” The ship spirit's will fluctuations were filled with incomprehension, doubting if it had misunderstood.

Shen Yuanmo's will was conveyed coldly and clearly.

“Disassemble every part of the Heavenly Meteor, except for this power core room.”

“Then, use them as Materials to integrate into my Chaos Dao Palace.”

Boom!

This order was no different from a bolt of Chaos Divine Thunder exploding within the ship spirit's core will.

Disassemble an Immortal King battleship?

This was simply insane!

Every inch of the Heavenly Meteor's Immortal Gold, every single rune...

They were all masterpieces created with the lifeblood of the top Artifact Refining Grandmasters under the Immortal King Beichen, the Peak creations of the immortal dao refinement civilization.

Now, it was to be treated like mere bricks and tiles, torn apart to patch up another flying palace whose grade was far inferior to its own.

What an incredible waste!

What a desecration!

However, when it met Shen Yuanmo's deep, cold, and silent gaze...

All doubts and incomprehension vanished in an instant.

It suddenly understood.

This New Master didn't care about a so-called Immortal King battleship at all.

In his eyes, from beginning to end, this battleship was merely Materials.

A type of resource that could make him stronger.

This pure and overbearing nature of treating all things as straw dogs, existing only for his own Dao and for becoming stronger...

It caused the ship spirit to feel a tremor of submission from the depths of its Soul.

“...As you command, My Master.”

...

Chaos Dao Palace, Central Main Hall.

Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged upon the throne, his eyes tightly shut.

At this moment, his Divine Sense split into three parts.

One part controlled the core hub of the Chaos Dao Palace.

One part connected with the Heavenly Meteor's ship spirit will, sharing the authority to know every inch of that massive immortal ship's structure like the back of his hand.

The final part, and the most central one, sank into his Sea of Consciousness to activate Perfect Deduction.

Buzz—

In his mind, two structural diagrams of completely different yet equally grand creations slowly emerged.

On the left was the Chaos Dao Palace.

With ethereal Immortal Qi, palace buildings, and complex Formations, it was more like a mobile Immortal Cave.

On the right was the Heavenly Meteor.

With cold, hard lines and soaring Killing Intent, it was filled with a metallic texture and the ferocity of war—a pure killing machine.

Now, what Shen Yuanmo had to do was combine the two into one.

Disassemble, reorganize, optimize.

Reject, and try again!

At this moment, Shen Yuanmo performed frantic simulations at a speed of billions of times per breath.

Two completely different philosophies of Artifact Refining, two vastly different energy circuits, and two sets of Law runes with different focuses...

They were constantly broken, kneaded, and subjected to Fusion in his deductions.

This was no longer a simple repair, but an unprecedented re-creation.

The moment the perfect Fusion plan, unique to Shen Yuanmo, finally crystallized in his Chaos Sea of Consciousness...

He opened his eyes.

“Begin!”

A single command.

Rumble—!!!

Deep within the Shattered Star Belt, that Chaos Dao Palace, as majestic as a mountain range...

At its base, the energy core known as the chaos furnace was pushed to its absolute limit at this moment.

A massive Chaos Vortex, pitch-black enough to swallow all light, formed violently beneath the Dao Palace.

The vortex spun, letting out a dull roar like the beginning of the Universe.

An irresistible tearing force shrouded the silver-white immortal ship floating quietly nearby.

“Ah—”

The ship spirit's will let out a short cry of alarm; it could feel the Immortal Gold composing the battleship wailing and the Law runes trembling.

Under the terrifying gravitational pull of the chaos furnace, the silver-white hull of the Heavenly Meteor—as massive as a star and shimmering with immortal light—began to twist visibly to the naked eye.

Fine cracks began to spread across the surface of the hull.

Then...

Crack!

A massive chunk of hull armor, comparable to a mountain, was forcibly torn from the ship's body and swallowed by the giant Chaos Vortex.

There was no explosion, no roar.

The moment that Immortal Gold armor, capable of withstanding an Immortal King's attack, was pulled into the Chaos Vortex...

It was like snow melting, silently decomposed, assimilated, and reduced back into the most primitive and pure stream of immortal dao divine material particles.

This was only the beginning.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

One section of the hull structure after another was continuously torn, stripped, and swallowed.

The entire Shattered Star Belt was whipped into an unprecedented energy storm by this grand dissociation feast.

Countless floating meteors were caught in the violent energy flow, unable to last even a single breath before turning into cosmic dust.

Viewed from afar...

It was as if an ancient Chaos demon god was greedily devouring the carcass of a silver Dragon.

This scene was spectacular to the extreme, and terrifying to the extreme.

It was like the creation of a brand-new nebula of death.

Inside the Chaos Dao Palace, Shen Yuanmo's expression was calm.

His Divine Sense controlled everything with precision.

Those decomposed and reduced immortal dao divine Materials were not directly burned as fuel by the chaos furnace.

Instead, under the guidance of his will and according to the new structural diagram from the Perfect Deduction, they flowed into various areas of the Chaos Dao Palace like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

The volume of the Dao Palace expanded at an exaggerated speed.

The original palace walls were replaced by stronger, more solid Immortal Gold.

The surface flowed with profound immortal dao runes and Chaos dao runes, reflecting each other.

The pavilions and towers shrouded in Immortal Qi were preserved intact.

However, their foundations and pillars were integrated with the battleship's keel structure, increasing their defensive power by more than a hundredfold.

Between the eaves and brackets of those halls, several ferocious Chaos Cannon muzzles, shimmering with the cold light of annihilation, quietly emerged.

The original defensive Formation perfectly fused with the Heavenly Meteor's energy shield System.

Forming a brand-new, integrated offense-defense Myriad Dao Returning Origin Chaos Grand Array.

This was no longer a pure Immortal Cave.

Nor was it a cold battleship.

It was evolving into a brand-new existence, a War Dojo capable of moving, fighting, and suppressing the myriad Daos.

The entire Fusion process lasted for three full months.

When the final sliver of the shimmering immortal keel from the massive Heavenly Meteor wreckage was completely swallowed, decomposed, and absorbed by the Chaos Vortex...

The energy storm sweeping across the entire Shattered Star Belt slowly subsided.

A brand-new, massive entity floated quietly in the Void Realm.

The new Chaos Dao Palace was more than a hundred times larger than before.

Its entire body presented a deep Chaos hue, with silver light flowing like scattered stars, filled with the beauty of power and the Dao.

The ancient immortal dao palace complex and the futuristic war modules were perfectly combined in a strange yet harmonious way.

At this very moment...

Buzz—

A distant, ancient hum, seemingly originating from the source of the Great Dao, spread from deep within the new Chaos Dao Palace.

An earth-shaking transformation had finally reached its end.
