545: Chapter 545 Ten Thousand Ships Launch Simultaneously, the Dao Palace Remains Undying

A pale, ghastly rift was torn across the cosmic starry sky.

Ten thousand beams of light, each containing terrifying power enough to pierce through stars and tear apart a Mahayana Saint Lord, appeared.

They converged from all directions, forming an irresistible torrent of destruction aimed directly at that lonely palace floating quietly in the depths of the Void Realm.

At the instant the ten thousand attacks struck the Chaos Dao Palace...

Both time and space seemed to melt under that extreme light and heat.

The blinding radiance swallowed everything, turning a million miles of starry sky into a pure white zone of death.

Ripples formed by the energy storm spread across the dark pond of the Universe like pebbles thrown by a god.

The corners of Saint Lord Xuan Lei's mouth curled up uncontrollably.

In his view, under this single strike, all things would turn to ruins.

Let alone a rat hiding its head and showing its tail, even a true True Immortal would have their Dao body disintegrated and their Divine Soul wounded if caught off guard.

However, when the light that was enough to blind a Divine Soul slowly dissipated...

When the raging energy storm gradually subsided and the starry sky once again revealed its deep background...

The triumph on Saint Lord Xuan Lei's face, along with the breathing of every Cultivator on the hundred thousand warships behind him, froze at the same instant.

That palace, as massive as a star, still floated there quietly.

Its entire body was wreathed in chaotic airflow, simple and mysterious, as if it had existed since eternity and had not moved an inch.

Forget being blown to pieces; not even a single trace of damage could be seen.

The world-destroying volley from just now was like a breeze brushing over a great river, merely causing a negligible ripple on the surface chaotic airflow.

Completely unscathed!

"This... how is this possible?!"

A warship captain cried out in shock, his voice cracking from extreme terror.

"Our main cannons are enough to turn an uninhabited star into cosmic dust! A volley from ten thousand main cannons... and it didn't even break its defense?"

"A monster! This is absolutely a monster!"

Panic spread through the massive fleet array like a plague.

Saint Lord Xuan Lei's pupils constricted; for the first time, his Dao Heart wavered.

What he didn't know was that just now, the Myriad Dao Returning Origin Chaos Grand Array of the Chaos Dao Palace had been operating at full power.

That seemingly gentle chaotic airflow was actually a bottomless abyss.

All the incoming attacks, whether beams of energy or strikes of Law...

The moment they touched the chaotic airflow, they were forcibly decomposed by an irrational power of assimilation.

Reduced to pure energy, they were then silently drawn into the Chaos Dao Palace like a whale swallowing a river, feeding back into the frantically operating chaos furnace.

This round of volleying, far from harming the Chaos Dao Palace in the slightest, had instead become the resources for Shen Yuanmo's Breakthrough.

"I don't believe it!"

Saint Lord Xuan Lei's face twisted with anger and unwillingness, and he began to howl almost maniacally.

"It must be barely holding on! Fire! Use everything we have!"

"Deploy the Immortal Artifacts! I don't believe we can't blast open a turtle shell!"

Under the military order, residual reason was replaced by fanaticism.

Aboard several flagships, a few damaged Immortal Artifacts with ancient auras and restrained radiance were activated, merging once again into a new round of concentrated fire.

This time, the power of the attack was thirty percent greater than before.

The result was still like a clay ox entering the sea—silent and without a trace.

Just as the faith of the allied Cultivators was about to completely collapse...

A cold, emotionless mechanical voice rang out without warning in the Sea of Consciousness of every living being in the starry sky.

"Hostile attack detected. Energy absorption complete. Main cannon charging has reached one hundred percent."

What?

Before everyone could react to the meaning of these words, they saw the top of that massive palace.

The dome of a towering hall slid open silently to both sides, and a cannon barrel so huge it was beyond description slowly rose from within.

The barrel was a deathly gray, as if cast from solidified Chaos, and was engraved with billions of complex dao runes.

What was most heart-stopping was that deep muzzle.

The muzzle of the cannon barrel just pointed quietly toward the allied forces, yet it seemed to be swallowing all surrounding light, hope, and even Souls.

An uncontrollable fear, rooted in biological instinct, instantly gripped everyone's heart.

The shadow of death turned into a tangible, icy cold wave, enveloping the entire fleet.

The originally seamless warship Formation began to show visible Chaos and wavering.

Inside the Chaos Dao Palace, Shen Yuanmo still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, the vast energy washing away the final shackles of his Bottleneck within his body.

Toward the ants outside, he only spared a single, negligible strand of Divine Thought.

"Mere ants, yet you dare disturb my seclusion."

"Kill."

The cold command was issued.

In the next instant, deep within the muzzle of the Chaos Annihilation Divine Light Main Cannon, a speck of extreme gray light lit up.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no world-destroying spectacle.

A gray beam of chaotic light that connected heaven and earth shot out just like that, abruptly and silently.

It ignored the distance of space and surpassed the flow of time.

In a manner that transcended all Laws and common sense of the current Universe, it instantly pierced through the densest core Formation of the allied forces.

Wherever the light beam passed, there were no explosions, no roars, and not even any energy dissipation.

One after another, the massive war machines cast from Immortal Gold, along with their internal protective Formations and tens of thousands of Cultivators...

At the moment they touched the gray light beam, they were like a painting wiped away by an invisible eraser, leaving not even a grain of dust, simply vanishing into thin air.

There wasn't even time to let out a scream.

When that thin gray light beam finally dissipated in the depths of the Universe...

In the brilliant starry sky that had been packed with a hundred thousand warships, an absolute dark vacuum zone, a million miles wide and piercing through the entire fleet Formation from top to bottom, appeared in the center.

There was nothing there; even light could not pass through.

With just one shot.

Over one-third of the Tianyuan Allied Forces' combat power, nearly forty thousand warships, along with hundreds of thousands of Cultivators on board, were completely erased from this world.

Silence.

After the absolute silence came a total collapse like a landslide or a tsunami.

"A devil... it's a devil!"

"Run! Run quickly!"

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die here!"

The Dao Hearts of the remaining allied Cultivators were completely crushed into powder at this moment.

So-called military orders, glory, and the dignity of the temple all became jokes in the face of absolute death.

Cries and pleas for mercy resounded through the communication channels.

Countless warships desperately turned their prows, like a swarm of headless flies whose nest had been poked, frantically trying to escape this Shattered Star Belt that had turned into an Asura Purgatory.

Shen Yuanmo's Divine Sense, having already used Insight into Origin at the moment of absorbing the enemy's attack energy...

...had analyzed the entire allied fleet's Formation connections, energy nodes, and even the structural weaknesses of every capital ship with perfect clarity.

"ship spirit."

"Initiate hunting mode. Eliminate all threatening targets."
