569: Chapter 569 Origin Fragments, Void-Breaking Origin Pill

"ship spirit, dock at the Abandoned Star Port No. C on the outermost perimeter and conceal all energy fluctuations."

Shen Yuanmo looked at the bustling trade hub outside the porthole, which was thousands of times larger than the Chiming Realm, and calmly gave the order.

The ship spirit executed the command, and the Chaos Dao Palace silently slid into a chaotic asteroid mooring area.

This was a gathering place for bottom-tier Loose Cultivators and smugglers of Tianshu Star City; it was messy, but sufficiently hidden.

Shen Yuanmo was in no hurry to disembark; he closed his eyes.

His Divine Sense followed the nodes of the star port's old defense Formation, cutting into the public trade information stream of Tianshu Star City without any resistance.

A massive amount of information washed through his Sea of Consciousness.

"Found it."

Three months from now, the Star Plucking Tower's once-in-a-million-years Peak auction would feature a primordial immortal crystal fragment as the finale item.

His gaze moved down, scanning the starting price column, and Shen Yuanmo's eyelids lifted slightly.

Ten billion immortal crystals.

That was only the starting price; once the auction truly began...

When those Immortal King heritages with deep Foundations casually raised their hands, it was normal for the price to multiply several times over.

"My Lord, I have just finished the inventory," the ship spirit's mechanical voice sounded at the right time.

"Including the gains from those three True Immortal Perfection experts you killed earlier, our current total assets are forty-one million immortal crystals."

Forty million versus ten billion.

This gap could no longer be described as the difference between clouds and mud.

"How about..." the ship spirit suggested.

"We just rob them? With your current combat power combined with the Chaos Dao Palace, you are enough to rival an average Immortal King. It's not impossible to forcibly blast open the Star Plucking Tower's treasury."

"Idiot," Shen Yuanmo interrupted.

"Tianshu Star City is backed by three Immortal Kings; this auction is jointly endorsed by their three houses."

"Do you really think the Star Plucking Tower's treasury would only be guarded by a few True Immortals? For a treasure of this level, there must be hidden measures personally left by an Immortal King."

"Then what should we do?" The ship spirit grew anxious.

"Ten billion! Even if we sell ourselves, we won't even make up the spare change!"

Shen Yuanmo did not respond, but instead retrieved the memory fragments stripped from Immortal King Guyuan's Divine Sense shard.

This record contained the rule insights and lessons from failed attempts of generations of True Immortal Perfection old monsters from the Ancient God Abyss when they charged toward the Half-Step Immortal King Realm.

"The greatest chasm from True Immortal to Immortal King lies in the reshaping of immortal dao rules," Shen Yuanmo murmured to himself.

"Bring up the medicinal herb catalog for the Tianshu Star Sector."

The ship spirit immediately projected data on hundreds of thousands of types of immortal herbs into the air.

Shen Yuanmo's eyes closed slightly as his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability fully activated.

In his mind, Perfect Deduction began to operate frantically.

Using Immortal King Guyuan's Breakthrough theories as the basic framework and the hundreds of thousands of herbs from the Tianshu Star Sector as filling Materials.

A thousand simulations.

Ten thousand recombinations.

Countless medicinal property conflicts collided violently in his Sea of Consciousness, only to be forcibly crushed and kneaded by the First Grade Immortal Dao Profundity, Chaos Return to Origin.

He didn't just want to perform Alchemy; he wanted to refine an Immortal Pill that would make those True Immortal Perfection old monsters bankrupt themselves—even if they had to sell everything they owned—just to get their hands on it.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Shen Yuanmo opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

A brand new Pill Formula took shape in his Sea of Consciousness.

great void source breaking pill.

Using the Chaos Return to Origin profundity as a guide to violently dismantle myriad Laws, it could forcibly raise the chance of a True Immortal Perfection Cultivator stepping into the Half-Step Immortal King Realm by forty percent.

Forty percent!

In the Central Galaxy, let alone forty percent.

Even a Breakthrough pill with only a five percent chance would cause those old monsters who had been stuck for ages to fight until rivers of blood flowed.

"Let's go," Shen Yuanmo said curtly as he pushed open the cabin door.

Tianshu Star City, Myriad Herb Street.

The Spiritual Qi here was so dense it condensed into mist. The streets were lined with top-tier merchant houses featuring carved beams and painted rafters, and those entering and leaving were all Cultivators with profound cultivation.

Dressed in a plain white robe, Shen Yuanmo walked along the white jade-paved street without sparing even a glance at the magnificent shops.

He turned directly into a dark and cramped alley at the end of Myriad Herb Street.

Both sides of this alley were filled with dilapidated stalls selling rejects from the major merchant houses, high-aged but highly toxic discarded herbs, and half-ruined immortal herbs with medicinal conflicts due to improper storage.

"Shopkeeper, this Withered Calamity Grass and that pile of Bone-Dissolving Poison Vines—I'll take them all. How much?"

"That half-section of Purple Lightning Root—yes, the one where the lightning and wood attributes are conflicting and about to explode—give it to me."

Shen Yuanmo moved between the stalls, spending money like water.

Forty million immortal crystals seemed like little, but to buy these waste Materials that ordinary people avoided like the plague, it was more than enough.

In less than half an hour, he had cleared out most of the toxins and discarded Materials in the alley.

This bizarre shopping behavior caught the eyes of those with ulterior motives.

Shen Yuanmo walked out of the alley and left along the edge of the star city.

He had just stepped into an abandoned star ring zone without any Formation protection.

Three auras, which were being suppressed with great effort yet still leaked killing intent, locked onto his back from behind.

"Kid, you look quite unfamiliar."

Three Cultivators wearing black dharma robes emerged from the shadows.

All were at the True Immortal Middle Stage, and the cuffs of their clothes were embroidered with the mark of the Ghost Society.

The scarred-face leader licked his lips. "Coming to Myriad Herb Street with tens of millions of immortal crystals to buy trash? We brothers have been a bit short on cash lately; how about lending us some travel expenses?"

Before he finished speaking, the three had already formed a pincer Formation.

Three high-grade Immortal Artifacts, carrying sharp Law fluctuations, went straight for Shen Yuanmo's vital points.

The moves were killing blows, executed without the slightest hesitation.

Shen Yuanmo didn't even turn his head, maintaining his original pace.

He simply raised his right hand and spread his fingers casually.

There were no brilliant light effects, nor any ear-piercing explosions.

A circle of gray, non-threatening ripples spread silently with him as the center.

Chaos Domain.

A Chaos Domain augmented by the First Grade Immortal Dao Profundity.

The moment the three black-robed Cultivators' Immortal Artifacts touched that layer of gray ripples, they didn't cause the slightest obstruction; they disintegrated directly, turning into primitive iron sand and Spiritual Qi that drifted away.

Next were their protective immortal dao rules, then their immortal bodies and immortal souls.

Half a breath.

In just half a breath's time.

The three True Immortal Middle Stage Cultivators didn't even have time to let out a scream before they dissolved into nothingness in the void.

They were completely decomposed into pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, feeding back into this abandoned star ring.

Shen Yuanmo lowered his hand and continued walking forward.

To him, killing three True Immortal Middle Stage Cultivators was no different from brushing dust off his clothes.

Deep within the star ring belt, on a silent meteorite tens of thousands of miles long.

Shen Yuanmo sat cross-legged, his fingertips rapidly sketching to lay down a sky-shrouding Chaos concealment Formation.

The Alchemy began.

He did not take out a Pill Furnace; at his level, mundane vessels would only become an obstacle.

Inside his Dantian, a chaotic vortex spun at high speed.

A ten-thousand-foot chaos dao fetus dharma idol with a face identical to his emerged from his body and sat above the meteorite.

The idol's hands were held in a void-embracing gesture, and a Domain world composed of pure Chaos Qi transformed into an invisible furnace.

With a wave of his sleeve.

Over a hundred toxic herbs and half-ruined immortal herbs with conflicting properties were thrown into the chaos furnace all at once.

"Insight into Origin, activate!"

Gray light flickered in his eyes as the microscopic structure, Law arrangement, and energy flow of every single herb became perfectly clear to him.

The death Laws of the Withered Calamity Grass, the corrosive Laws of the Bone-Dissolving Vine, the violent thunder Laws of the Purple Lightning Root...

Any Alchemy Grandmaster would have turned and fled for their life upon seeing such a combination of Materials.

But Shen Yuanmo's expression remained unchanged.

"Shatter."

He softly uttered a single word.

Within the Chaos Domain, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Law divine runes came to life.

They transformed into the sharpest of deboning knives, precisely cutting into the Law texture of every herb and violently dismantling them.

Under the absolute suppression of the First Grade Immortal Dao Profundity, Chaos Return to Origin, any unruly Law had to bow its head submissively.

Life and death, water and fire, lightning and wood...

Over a hundred types of mutually exclusive Law fragments were forcibly scrambled, and the core point of their Origin was extracted.

Then, under the kneading of the chaotic airflow, they were precisely fitted and reorganized like pieces of a puzzle.

Two hours later.

The boiling chaos furnace suddenly contracted, all Law divine light withdrew inward, and finally condensed into a pill the size of a longan fruit.

The surface of the pill had no brilliant colors, only a layer of hazy chaotic airflow slowly swirling.

It looked ordinary, yet it contained a rule-jumping power that made the Divine Soul tremble.

The moment the pill was formed.

The void above the silent meteorite collapsed without warning.

The starry sky for thirty million miles around instantly turned a deep blood-red.

A layer of blood-colored tribulation clouds, so thick it was suffocating, condensed out of thin air, and countless destructive Lightning Tribulations as thick as water buckets churned frantically within the clouds.

That was the instinctive rejection of the Universe's rules toward the birth of such a Heaven-Defying object!

The pressure of the Pill Tribulation was so immense that as soon as it formed...

The violent energy tide broke through the concealment Formation Shen Yuanmo had set up, sweeping toward the distant Tianshu Star City like a hurricane.

Inside the star city, deep within the various merchant associations and paradise lands.

Hundreds of powerful Divine Senses that had been in a state of dormancy were awakened at the same time.

They were all existences at the True Immortal Late Stage or even Perfection!

"What level of tribulation cloud is this? It actually carries a sense of erasure!"

"The direction is the abandoned star ring belt! A rare treasure has been born!"

"Quick! Investigate clearly!"

One after another, incredibly powerful Divine Senses crossed the starry sky, heading straight for the abandoned star ring belt.

On the meteorite, Shen Yuanmo looked up at the blood-colored tribulation cloud pressing lower and lower, his brow furrowing in displeasure.

The commotion was too large; if he really let this Lightning Tribulation strike...

Not to mention whether the great void source breaking pill in his hand could be saved, those hundreds of old monsters' Divine Senses would surely turn this place upside down.

"Get back."

Shen Yuanmo stepped into the air, his Physical Body ascending straight to the high heavens.

The great evolution immortal slaying sword fell into his palm; there was no ear-piercing ring of a sword being unsheathed, only a dull, eerie fluctuation that could even swallow light.

He gripped the hilt, and instead of using any magic power to counter the tribulation cloud's lightning, he activated the great evolution immortal slaying sword's exclusive Divine Ability, Dao Slash!

This strike did not cut matter, nor did it cut the Divine Soul.

What it cut was Karma!

It cut the invisible connection between this tribulation cloud and the rules of the Universe!

The blade swept through the void.

A silent gray sword mark passed through the bottom of the blood-colored tribulation cloud.

There was no earth-shaking explosion.

One second, the thirty-million-mile-long blood-colored tribulation cloud was still brewing world-ending lightning.

The next second, it was like a kite with a broken string, losing all rule support.

The lightning in the clouds quickly dissipated, and the deep blood-red faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ordinary starry dust.

The blood-colored tribulation cloud was insta-killed by a single sword strike!

At the same time the tribulation cloud dissipated, those hundreds of True Immortal Divine Senses rushing over happened to collide with that not-yet-fully-dispersed gray sword mark.

"Ah—!!!"

Inside Tianshu Star City, dozens of secret cultivation chambers simultaneously emitted suppressed screams.

Dozens of True Immortal powerhouses' bodies shook violently as they spat out a mouthful of heart's blood.

Deep in their Seas of Consciousness, they were backlashed by that incomparably overbearing Sword Intent, feeling a tearing pain.

"A strike that transcends rules..."

"Do not look directly! Do not investigate! Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The remaining Divine Senses withdrew frantically as if they had been electrocuted; not a single person dared to extend their perception even half an inch toward the abandoned star ring belt again.

Facing an existence that could directly erase a Heavenly Tribulation from the level of Karma...

Even a True Immortal Perfection would not dare to gamble their Great Dao Foundation.

Tranquility returned to the depths of the star ring.

Shen Yuanmo returned his sword to its scabbard, reached out to catch the slowly falling great void source breaking pill, placed it into a jade bottle, and applied a spirit-sealing talisman.
