63: Chapter 63 The Ancient God's "Evoked" Therapy and a "Stone" from the Primordial World

Deep beneath the Sunset Plains, within the massive stomach sac space.

The atmosphere was tense to the breaking point.

A 'Gastric Acid Colossus', thousands of feet tall, was taking heavy, earth-shaking steps.

With each step, it churned up hundred-foot-tall waves of acid, pressing closer and closer towards the **tianhe vessel** suspended in mid-air.

It possessed no intellect, only instinct.

"Hungry..."

"Eat..."

The thunderous murmurs caused the protective shield of the flying vessel to crackle with erratic electricity, groaning under the strain.

The ten **Sects** dangling beneath the flying vessel now resembled a string of worms on a fishing hook, trembling in the storm, their faces ashen.

"Mr. Li! It's coming! It's opening its mouth!"

**Lei Wanjun**, staring at the abyssal maw large enough to swallow the sun and moon, gripped his sparking electric rod nervously, "Has that... that super invincible giant meatball of ours been kneaded yet?!"

"Don't rush me."

On the deck, **Li Mo**, wearing a crooked chef's hat and a professional gas mask, spoke with unnerving calm through the mask's filter.

"The more exquisite the cuisine, the more reverence one must have in its preparation."

In his hands, a giant stirring rod formed by Xiao Hei was engaged in a final, frenzied stir within a "Void Realm Cauldron" conjured by a **Formation**.

Inside the cauldron were three distinct, violently clashing energies.

The white energy was the **Vast Righteous Qi**, roared out with flushed faces by **Kong Mengchang** and his three thousand **Confucian Scholars**, righteous and imposing, yet now churned into shapelessness.

The black energy was the millennia-old "Yin Malevolent Qi", squeezed from the life's work of over a hundred top assassins of the **Shadow Sect**, sinister and treacherous, attempting to corrode everything.

The red energy was the "Hell Sulfur Fire" forcibly extracted from the captured abyssal demons under threat and coercion, brimming with brutality and destruction.

These three incompatible energies, forcibly combined under **Li Mo**'s **Formation** centered on the *Law* of Chemical Equilibrium and Energy Conservation, were undergoing an unstable, malicious Fusion reaction.

"Final step! Infuse the **Soul**!"

With a sharp cry, **Li Mo** suddenly pulled a crystal vial from his robes, filled with a green-turning-black viscous liquid.

It was the concentrated essence he had previously tasked **Gu Canghai** with extracting from thirty thousand coriander plants of varying ages.

"Go! The finishing touch!"

Splash—

The entire bottle of coriander juice was poured in.

A miracle occurred.

The three-colored energy masses, which had been tearing at and annihilating each other, instantly ceased their conflict under the stimulation of this horrifying scent,It can be called the "Cancer of Realms".

It was as if they had found a common enemy, or perhaps, an ultimate destination that transcended factions, good and evil, life and death.

They **Fusion**ed.

A sphere, pitch-black on the outside yet shimmering with eerie, multicolored light within, was born.

The scent it emitted was beyond description.

It was the clash of righteousness and evil, the union of the sacred and the profane, a nauseating duet of sulfur and coriander dancing in the abyss.

A mere whiff of the leaked scent caused **Kong Mengchang** on the deck to nearly lose stability in his **Dao Heart**, almost prompting him to recite the *Gongshu* chapter; the **Shadow Sect** assassins felt their years of cultivating the "Heartless **Dao**" were tainted by the odor.

"Done!"

**Li Mo** wiped the sweat from his brow, a satisfied curve appearing beneath his mask.

"This dish shall be named—[Tears of the Era · Mixed Double Strike · Extremely, Even A Bit Wanting to Die, Giant-Meatball]!"

"**Lei Wanjun**! Charge the main cannon! Prepare to fire!"

"Yes!"

**Lei Wanjun**, eyes watering from the smell, pressed the launch button with a choked sob.

The main cannon port at the prow of the **tianhe vessel** opened, and the "dark cuisine" radiating an aura of ultimate destruction was steadily pushed onto the electromagnetic launch platform by a repulsive force.

BOOM—!!!

A dazzling electromagnetic beam tore through the acidic mist.

The "giant meatball" transformed into an untraceable streak of light, shooting at an impossibly tricky angle, and flew straight into the Gastric Acid Colossus's gaping maw just as it prepared to roar.

"Gulp."

The colossus reflexively swallowed it.

The world fell into dead silence.

Everyone, on and under the flying vessel, held their breath, pupils dilated, staring fixedly at the behemoth.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

The colossus's movements froze abruptly, without warning.

Its featureless face began to contort wildly, like a screen with poor reception, finally squeezing out a ">_<" expression.

The ocean of acid within its body instantly boiled, as if two armies had launched a century-spanning war in its stomach.

The **Vast Righteous Qi** shouted "Benevolence is Invincible", trying to persuade it to lay down its butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

The Yin Malevolent Qi whispered sinisterly, tempting it to fall into the boundless **Demonic Path** and self-destruct.

As for that coriander juice concentrated with thirty thousand plants' worth of resentment... it desired nothing, except for this ungrateful diner to drop dead on the spot.

"BLEEEAAARGH—!!!"

An earth-shattering retch erupted from the deepest part of the colossus's throat.

This sound surpassed all its previous roars.

The entire stomach sac space began a violent, spasmodic contraction. A terrifying, irresistible "expulsion storm" instantly formed, surging upward from below!

"Now!"

**Li Mo**'s eyes gleamed. He grabbed the railing, shouting hoarsely.

"Everyone, hold on tight! We're going surfing!"

"Take engine power to three hundred percent! Ride this ejection stream! Get us the Hell out of this place!"

BOOM—!!!

The Gastric Acid Colossus finally couldn't hold back.

It opened its abyssal maw. A torrent of acid, enough to drown mountains and rivers, carrying countless undigested fragments of **Law** and **Sect** wreckage it had swallowed, erupted violently towards the sole exit above, like a doomsday volcano!

Propelled by this terrifying force, the **tianhe vessel** shot like a stone from a slingshot, at near-curvature travel speeds, towards that distant crack in the earth's surface!

"Aaaaah—Too intense! My **Dao** robe!"

"I'm going to be sick! I'm gonna puke too! Ugh..."

On the flying vessel, whether it was the **Confucian Scholars** spouting classical phrases or the cold-blooded assassins, all abandoned their identities, huddling together, letting out the most piercing screams of their lives.

Whoosh—!

With one final, blinding flash of light.

The **tianhe vessel**, trailing ten strings of **Sects** that looked like wind-dried jerky, successfully broke through the surface and was catapulted tens of thousands of feet into the air by the tremendous force!

Immediately after.

PFFFBT—!!!

Below, the massive fissure spanning the Sunset Plains let out a sky-shaking belch, spewing a skyful of green acid rain and countless unknown black debris.

Then, it rapidly closed, healed, and vanished from sight at a visible pace.

The resolute speed seemed to swear it would never eat anything questionable ever again.

The vast land returned to tranquility.

Leaving only the messy aftermath and a thick coriander scent that refused to dissipate, no matter how the wind blew.

...

Half an hour later.

The **tianhe vessel** slowly descended on a relatively clean patch of open ground.

"We're... alive..."

The **Sect Master** of the Qingyun Sect's legs gave way. He knelt, kissing the fragrant soil beneath him with tears streaming down his face.

"This humble **Dao**ist swears! I'll never have a midnight snack again... Stomachs are too terrifying..."

The other rescued **Cultivators** shared the same expression of having narrowly escaped death. They gathered around, expressing deep gratitude and reverence towards **Li Mo** and his crew.

But **Li Mo** had no time for this now.

He was squatting amidst the still-steaming "debris" vomited up by the Ancient God, poking around with an alloy rod, his expression focused.

"Mr. Li, what are you looking for?"

**Gu Canghai**, holding his nose, cautiously approached. "There's nothing here but rocks, mud, and that monster's stomach acid. It's too corrosive."

"You don't understand."

**Li Mo** didn't look up, his lenses reflecting a probing light.

"An Ancient God's stomach is a furnace that can grind and digest even the **Law**s of heaven and earth. Whatever has managed to stay inside for who knows how many tens of thousands of years without being dissolved..."

Clink!

The tip of the rod struck something with a crisp sound.

**Li Mo** brushed away the covering sludge. A fist-sized stone, dark gold in color and covered in fine cracks, came into view.

It was ugly, resembling a burnt sweet potato.

But in **Li Mo**'s **Eye of True Sight**, this stone's interior radiated an ancient, vast, and overwhelmingly domineering energy fluctuation.

[Item: ???]

[Analyzing... Energy structure overly stable, analysis slow...]

[Analysis successful.]

[Name: Primordial Chaos · **Dao** Fruit Calculus (Composite Kidney/Gallbladder/Pancreas/Stomach Stone).]

[Origin: The "Remnant of the **Dao**" formed from the coalescence of **Law**s and excess energy that could not be expelled from the body of an Ancient God before its demise in the previous epoch.]

[Characteristics: Impervious to all methods, indestructible, contains a wisp of **Primordial Beginning Qi**.]

[Editor's Suggestion: Don't hesitate. Use it as a brick. If an **Immortal** comes, knock them out with one swing.]

"Well, well."

**Li Mo** wrapped the "burnt sweet potato" in a specially treated cloth, his eyes shining with intense light.

"It's actually a fossilized '**Law** of the Great **Dao**'."

The feeling was like finding a dinosaur egg fossil on the roadside, only to discover the baby dinosaur inside was still breathing.

"Mr. Li, is this... some kind of **Magic Treasure**?" **Kong Mengchang** examined it curiously, thinking its shape somewhat resembled a pig's kidney.

"No. This is a... strategic deterrent weapon."

**Li Mo** stood up and solemnly handed the stone to Xiao Hei for safekeeping.

"With this, the word 'passive defense' will no longer be the only entry in our dictionary."

He gazed towards the horizon, his vision seeming to pierce the clouds and see the gate to the **Immortal Realm** suspended beyond the sky.

"It's time to consider... installing a 'doorbell' for our celestial neighbors."

Just then.

**Former Inspector of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion**, holding a brand new *Employee Handbook*, rushed over with a strange expression.

"Mr. Li! Something major has happened!"

"That earth-shaking vomit from the Ancient God just now was too powerful. It seems to have shifted the ley lines of the Southern Wilds!"

"Just a hundred miles west of the Sunset Plains, a new mountain range has risen out of nowhere!"

**Former Inspector of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion** swallowed, his expression growing even odder. "And... that mountain is covered in black, strange trees that look like strands of hair. Black oil is constantly seeping out from the mountain's cracks!"

**Li Mo** was taken aback.

Hair-like black trees? Seeping black oil?

He quickly pulled out the *Ancient God Medical Record Book* and flipped directly to the [Dermatology] chapter.

[Symptom Prediction: When the host experiences intense stimulation (e.g., ingesting allergenic toxins), triggering a stress-induced rejection reaction, it may cause localized skin allergies on the body surface, concurrent with acute 'folliculitis' and 'sebaceous gland dysfunction'.]

[Clinical Manifestation: Rapid growth of hair-like vegetation on the surface, accompanied by the overflow of large amounts of black, oily liquid (sebum).]

[Note: This overflow is the Ancient God's purest 'life fat', also one of the highest-grade **Origin** energies of this realm. Commonly known as... Spirit-Source Petroleum.]

**Li Mo**'s eyes instantly lit up.

They shone ten times brighter than when he had found the "**Dao** Fruit Calculus"!

"Energy source!"

"This is the heavens themselves force-feeding us a feast!"

He turned sharply and clapped **Lei Wanjun** on the shoulder, staggering him.

"Old Lei! Stop standing there like a door god!"

"Immediately! Right now! Mobilize all the brothers from the **Shadow Sect**! Bring all our barrels! All our pipes! All our **Magic Treasure** gourds!"

**Li Mo**'s voice was filled with barely suppressed fervor.

"We're going to extract... 'Ancient God Brand Crude Oil'!"

"With this stuff, our **tianhe vessel** can be upgraded into a [Galaxy Battleship]!"

**Lei Wanjun**: "???"

Extract petroleum? Galaxy Battleship?

He felt his eight-hundred-year-old **Cultivation World** worldview had been utterly shattered today, not a single fragment remaining.

But seeing the burning intensity in **Li Mo**'s eyes, he instinctively brought his feet together, straightened his back, and saluted in a manner he didn't even know where he'd learned.

"Yes! Mission assured! Not a single drop of oil will be wasted!"

On this day.

A new entry was quietly added to the annals of the **Cultivation World**'s history.

When the **tianhe vessel** once again streaked across the sky, its stern belching thick black smoke, all the **Cultivators** who witnessed it finally understood.

So, **Cultivation** really could run on oil.

And, it packed quite a punch.
