583: Chapter 583 The Nine Nether Immortal Dynasty, Crushing the Immortal King

Deep within the Chaos Dao Palace.

After months of refinement, the cultivation of the Half-Step Immortal King had been thoroughly solidified.

Shen Yuanmo opened his eyes; there was no intertwining of light and shadow, nor any strange phenomena rising.

He shed the tattered Dharma robe stained with the Evil Qi of days and nights of bloody battles.

He changed into a plain white long robe, his long hair tied up casually into a Dao bun.

His pressure and aura were all completely retracted into his body.

Not a trace of mana flowed through his Meridians, and his Divine Sense in his Sea of Consciousness was silent.

If tossed into a mortal marketplace, others would merely take him for a handsome, failed scholar.

The common logic in the Cultivation world is that the higher the cultivation, the more the dao rhyme manifests externally.

Where a True Immortal passes, lotuses bloom with every step; an Immortal King is even more surrounded by Law.

Yet Shen Yuanmo did the opposite, retracting all his power.

The ship spirit's main computer array flashed with urgent red light.

In its analysis, beneath this seemingly non-threatening Physical Body of Shen Yuanmo, was compressed a terrifying power capable of crushing galaxies and evaporating star rivers.

"My Lord." The ship spirit's voice was very low.

"Hmm." Shen Yuanmo flexed his wrists.

As his joints rubbed together, fine, web-like cracks appeared in the surrounding space.

With a slight movement of his mind, the cracks smoothed out.

This time, the power that surged upon his Breakthrough to Half-Step Immortal King was too great; he still needed time to adapt.

After his Physical Body strength crossed the threshold of an Immortal Artifact, every muscle contraction would cause irreversible compression to the surrounding space.

His very existence would exert immense pressure on the space he occupied.

His gaze lengthened, crossing the endless star sea.

The Ancient God Abyss Forbidden Ground.

The Myriad Tribulation Immortal Burial Formation tightly sealed off this Star Domain.

The blood pool was dried up.

Immortal King Guyuan, disheveled and hunched over, stood before a dark gold altar.

This altar was a star sea communication platform.

Its material was neither metal nor jade, engraved with ancient and complex totems.

On the other side of the light screen was a phantom shrouded in Nether Qi.

This phantom came from an ancient and mysterious behemoth in the Central Galaxy, the Jiuyou Immortal Dynasty.

The Ancient God Abyss was merely a remote corner in the Central Galaxy.

The Jiuyou Immortal Dynasty, however, was one of the hegemonic organizations that truly held the core say in the Central Galaxy.

"Control over seventy percent of the resource Star Domains, the unconditional mobilization of three million Immortal troops, plus all the unique copies in your Ancient God Abyss Scripture Pavilion." The phantom read out the conditions.

Immortal King Guyuan clenched his fists until they bled, his teeth nearly shattered.

If he handed these over, the Ancient God Abyss would exist in name only, completely reduced to a vassal and cannon fodder kept by the Jiuyou Immortal Dynasty.

The foundation of countless years, handed over to others.

"Deal." He closed his eyes and spat out the two words.

As long as he could survive, tear that monster named Shen Yuanmo into pieces, and extract his immortal soul to light a heavenly lamp.

Everything would be worth it; in the face of survival, dignity is a cheap consumable.

"The contract is established. The Jiuyou Third Expedition Fleet is already on its way." The light screen dimmed.

A dry, withered laugh echoed through the empty Forbidden Ground, making one's hair stand on end.

Chaos Dao Palace, atop the throne.

Shen Yuanmo leaned against the back of the chair, his fingers tapping on the armrest.

Tap, tap, tap.

"My Lord, rest is complete. Please instruct the next itinerary." The ship spirit's phantom appeared.

Shen Yuanmo raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the Chaos Dao Palace's Immortal Gold armor, locking onto a coordinate.

"Ancient God Abyss."

"Setting coordinates, Ancient God Abyss." The ship spirit did not waste words.

"Full power spatial jump." Shen Yuanmo added.

"Received. Jump engines preheating to full capacity. Countdown: three seconds."

On the outer layer of the Dao Palace, the restrained chaotic airflow exploded.

The massive complex of buildings transformed into a streak of light that could not be captured by the Divine Sense of ordinary Cultivators.

The Chaos Dao Palace smashed directly through the spatial barrier and plunged into deep space.

In the middle section of the Chaos Dao Palace's jump route.

A desolate area known as the Soul-Shattering Star Abyss, covered year-round by violent magnetic storms; no living entity could survive here.

The Chaos Dao Palace traveled at high speed in deep space.

The spatial membrane ahead collapsed without warning.

It was not broken by external force, but forcibly dissolved by some supreme, cold rule.

A large area of black frost spread in the Void Realm, freezing even the free-floating photons.

Immediately after, a massive wormhole with a diameter exceeding a million miles was forcibly torn open.

Nether Qi, so thick it could not be dispersed, poured out.

A warship slowly extended its bow.

Its body was pitch black, the hull streamlined, and the armor material was not Immortal Gold.

It was a mutated substance similar to a Fusion of biological bone and metal.

The armored shell was hung with wind-dried Immortal heads, each emitting residual fluctuations of the True Immortal Rank.

A rough glance revealed no fewer than one hundred thousand.

On the main mast, a dark gold flag fluttered in the wind, embroidered with a bleeding Jiuyou Nether Flower.

Jiuyou Immortal Dynasty, Third Expedition Fleet flagship, the Nether King.

"Warning! Strong energy interference on the flight path ahead!" The ship spirit's voice changed pitch.

"Detected unknown Law matrix! Target armor strength exceeds Immortal King-level standards!"

The ship spirit's projection flickered frantically before Shen Yuanmo, red warning characters covering the entire retinal screen.

Shen Yuanmo sat on the throne, unmoved.

"Ram through it."

The Chaos Dao Palace's engines emitted an overloaded screech, and with astonishing speed, it headed toward that massive black warship.

Without dodging or flinching, it crushed into it.

Two behemoths collided in deep space.

With the point of impact as the center, the spatial membrane within a million miles cracked like an ice surface hit by a heavy hammer.

Void turbulence spilled from the cracks, grinding the interstellar dust along the way into nothingness.

Inside the Nether King's bridge, the ear-piercing alarm stopped abruptly.

The holographic projection presented a deathly gray-white.

"Shields overloaded! Jiuyou Mysterious Bone armor is being devoured by unknown energy!"

The adjutant's voice cracked, filled with extreme fear of the unknown.

Commander Yuan Sha God General stared fixedly outside the porthole.

With cultivation at the Early Stage of the Immortal King and his background in the Jiuyou Immortal Dynasty.

He was accustomed to looking down on all beings not originating from the top powers of the Central Galaxy.

This expedition should have been a walk in the park.

But now, a strangely shaped complex of palaces, lacking even standard Immortal Gold armor, had forcibly smashed the bow of the Nether King.

The Nether King's pride, its bio-mutated armor, was mercilessly devoured and refined by the other party the moment it touched the chaotic airflow.

"Reverse engines at full power! Cut the bow connection shaft! Main cannons preheating!"

Commander Yuan Sha God General issued orders while drawing the Jiuyou Soul-Suppressing Blade at his side.

Before the blade was even unsheathed, the killing intent had already locked onto the white figure inside the Dao Palace.

Shen Yuanmo had already stepped out of the gates of the Chaos Dao Palace.

With one step, he crossed tens of thousands of kilometers, appearing directly above the Nether King's massive hull.

Compared to the millions-of-miles-long giant warship, his figure was so small that it didn't even count as a speck of dust.

But in the perception of Commander Yuan Sha God General, that was a terrifying star collapsing at high speed.

Shen Yuanmo lowered his eyes, billions of light patterns of deduction circulating deep within his pupils.

Insight into Origin running at full power.

The Nether King, this Peak war machine from the Central Galaxy, lost all its mystery in his eyes.

Three thousand seven hundred spiritual power corridors, one hundred twenty thousand defense nodes, the energy vortex of the main cannon charging.

Even the forging flaws of the armored alloy were completely exposed.

The great evolution immortal slaying sword was drawn from his waist.

There was no flashy opening stance, no strange phenomena of gods and Buddhas filling the sky.

Shen Yuanmo held the sword in one hand, tip pointing down, and stabbed at a certain position in the middle section of the Nether King's hull.

That was the intersection point of the Nether King's power furnace and the main keel, and also the only weak point in the entire hull's energy cycle.

The sword tip touched the pitch-black armor.

The micro-black hole leading to the Void Realm in the center of the great evolution immortal slaying sword suddenly expanded.

Armor, Formations, Restrictions, and even the Jiuyou Nether Qi attached to the hull.

Under the sword tip, they melted silently like residual snow under the scorching sun.

Shen Yuanmo flipped his wrist and pulled horizontally.

"How dare you, brat!" Commander Yuan Sha God General's eyes were splitting with rage, his Early Stage Immortal King pressure erupting without reservation.

He smashed the bridge skylight, turned into a pitch-black rainbow, and lunged directly at Shen Yuanmo, the Soul-Suppressing Blade whipping up Jiuyou Laws capable of tearing apart star rivers.

Shen Yuanmo didn't even look at him.

The great evolution immortal slaying sword, following the perfectly deduced route, carved a smooth cut one hundred thousand miles long on the Nether King's keel.

There were no sparks at the cut, no explosions.

Only pure chaotic airflow poured in, frantically destroying the interior of the warship.

After doing all this, Shen Yuanmo finally turned his head to meet the earth-shattering slash of Commander Yuan Sha God General.

He raised his left hand, index and middle fingers together, precisely pinching the blade of the Soul-Suppressing Blade.

The Jiuyou Nether Qi attached to the blade tried to invade Shen Yuanmo's Meridians along his fingertips.

But the moment it touched the Chaos Immortal Body, it was devoured completely.

Commander Yuan Sha God General's action froze in mid-air. His prideful full-force strike had been stopped by two fingers.

"The warship from the Central Galaxy, the materials are quite solid." Shen Yuanmo commented.

He exerted force with his fingers.

Crack.

The blade of the Soul-Suppressing Blade chipped.

Commander Yuan Sha God General coughed up a mouthful of blood; the backlash from his life-bound Immortal Artifact being damaged threw his aura into chaos.

He stared fixedly at the white-clothed man before him, searching frantically in his mind, but could not find any monster that matched him.

"Who exactly are you?"

Shen Yuanmo released his fingers, and the great evolution immortal slaying sword returned to its sheath.

"Excuse me."

He didn't kill him.

Not out of mercy, but because he didn't have time.

The main course was over at the Ancient God Abyss with Immortal King Guyuan.

As for this Jiuyou expeditionary force, hacking the flagship's power engine was enough for them to spend over half a month repairing it in this Void Realm turbulence.

Shen Yuanmo turned and took one step back into the Chaos Dao Palace.

"ship spirit, bypass them. The coordinates remain unchanged."

The Chaos Dao Palace's engines emitted a low hum, leaving the paralyzed star sea behemoth, the Nether King, behind and disappearing as a streak of light into the depths of deep space.

Commander Yuan Sha God General stood on the broken keel, watching the Dao Palace depart.

Holding the broken Soul-Suppressing Blade, veins bulged on the back of his hand.

"Immediately send an emergency secret report to the Immortal Dynasty Imperial Capital."

He gritted his teeth, his voice carrying a tremble he himself hadn't noticed.

"The matter of assisting the Ancient God Abyss has changed."

...

Ancient God Abyss.

The light screen of the Myriad Tribulation Immortal Burial Formation illuminated the entire Star Domain in blood red.

Immortal King Guyuan sat by the dried-up blood pool, gulping down Medicinal Pills for healing.

Since the Jiuyou Immortal Dynasty's expeditionary force had already set out.

Soon, he would be able to watch that monster surnamed Shen be crushed into meat paste.

Suddenly, the outermost defensive barrier of the Myriad Tribulation Immortal Burial Formation caved in without warning.

A calm voice pierced through layers of Formations and rang in the ears of every Cultivator in the Ancient God Abyss.

"Ancient God Abyss, Immortal King Guyuan, I have arrived."
