344: Chapter 344 Some people can't wait any longer.

The phantom of Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable raised a hand and beckoned. A faint light emerged from the bottom of the lake, lifting a pitch-black petal whose edges flowed with dark purple, seemingly capable of swallowing all light.

"A remnant petal of the Void Nether Udumbara." The Immortal Venerable phantom's tone was slightly grave. "For the Devouring Dao Body, this object is an irresistible, supreme temptation, and also a potential fatal nemesis."

Su Mo stared at the petal, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, instantly understanding:

"You intend to use this as bait to lure the possessor of the Devouring Dao Body out, and then... seize their Origin?"

Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable nodded slightly, the phantom's face solemn:

"Precisely. This is the crucial step in my plan. The Devouring Dao Body grows extremely fast and possesses terrifying potential, but it is also an indispensable component for you to fully complete your Acquired Chaos Dao Body. Once its Origin is refined, the plan I have been preparing for ten thousand years will be largely complete."

He lightly pointed a phantom finger, and the black petal slowly drifted toward Su Mo:

"Once this item appears in the world, we won't need to laboriously search for them; the person possessing the Devouring Dao Body will naturally sense it and seek it out like a moth flying into a flame. At that time, I can preemptively set up the 'Nine Abyss Returning Origin Great Formation,' using Chaos as the foundation and the Udumbara as the guide, to lock down their Dao Body and seize its Origin!"

Just as Su Mo put away the petal and prepared to leave the Secret Realm—

Buzz!

At the entrance of the previously stable Void Realm passage, space suddenly began to fluctuate violently, like a large stone dropped into calm water, sending out rapid ripples.

Immediately afterward, that area of space began to bulge inward and deform, as if enduring an extremely powerful and concentrated external impact, attempting to forcibly pierce through from the outside!

The passage barrier flickered erratically, emitting a groaning sound under the strain, and faint, fine cracks began to spread.

Fu Tianming's gaze sharpened, and gray Qi surged around him:

"Someone is forcibly breaking the door!"

Three Eyes also let out a low growl, his dark golden demonic body tensing slightly, and fierce light flickering in his purple eyes.

Su Mo merely raised an eyebrow. Instead of surprise, his face revealed a knowing and playful smile:

"It seems someone outside couldn't wait any longer."

He sensed the increasingly strong impact force coming from outside, which contained an incomparably sharp and strange fluctuation specialized in breaking spatial barriers.

Clearly, the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance had used some extraordinary Boundary Breaking Magic Treasure or Formation to open this Secret Realm entrance.

"That's fine too." Su Mo's mouth curved slightly. "It saves us the trouble of going out ourselves."

Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable lifted the seal on the Secret Realm entrance.

Whoosh—!

Like a floodgate opening, the cold Void Realm aura and the immense Formation pressure from the outside, accompanied by the residual shockwave of the concentrated attack, poured into the Secret Realm passage all at once.

Yet Su Mo, standing directly in the vortex of this surging energy turbulence, neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, he stepped forward, meeting the residual shockwave that hadn't fully dissipated. His figure passed through the passage as smoothly as passing through a water curtain, calmly... walking out!

...Meteorite Sea.

More than ten Golden Immortal Elders of the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance were gathered in a profound Formation, continuously injecting Immortal Power into a strange Magic Treasure suspended in the center.

That Magic Treasure resembled a three-inch long, silver-white Boundary Breaking Shuttle whose tip constantly rotated with fine spatial ripples.

At this moment, the Boundary Breaking Shuttle was firmly "nailed" to the spot in the Void Realm where the Secret Realm entrance had disappeared, vibrating at a high frequency and emitting increasingly strong spatial tearing power.

The ancient immortal runes engraved on the shuttle body lit up one by one, clearly having been activated to their maximum extent.

"Push harder!" Xinghe Immortal Master's eyes were burning as he stared intently at the point in the Void Realm that was constantly bulging, deforming, and showing fine cracks.

"This Boundary Breaking Shuttle is an ancient relic, specializing in countering all types of spatial barriers and Secret Realm seals! Although this Secret Realm entrance was locked from the inside, as long as we continuously impact one point, we can definitely bore through it by force!"

"Yes!" The Elders responded in unison, increasing their output of Immortal Power even further.

Seeing the bulge in the Void Realm become more pronounced, the cracks spread like a spiderweb, and the signs of the entrance reopening becoming clearer, several Elders couldn't help but show joy.

However, in the very next moment—

The violently fluctuating point in the Void Realm did not, as they expected, get completely pierced and shattered by the "Boundary Breaking Shuttle."

Instead, all resistance... instantly vanished!

It was like a door that was previously held firmly shut from the inside suddenly had its bolt... pulled back from within.

Buzz!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a slight spatial tremor.

The point in the Void Realm that had been twisted and bulging from the impact quickly flattened and stabilized, like a deflated ball.

Immediately afterward, a gray light illuminated within it, rapidly expanding to form a stable, rotating passage entrance—it was the gateway to the Starry Sky Secret Realm!

"It's open! The entrance is open!" an Elder shouted in surprise.

But Xinghe Immortal Master's heart suddenly sank, and a feeling of ominous foreboding arose.

It opened too easily, too abruptly!

It didn't look like it was forcibly broken open; rather, it seemed like... the person inside had actively opened it!

Before he could think further, and before they could make any tactical adjustments—

A figure in blue robes had already stepped out from the gray passage entrance.

His footsteps were steady; he trod upon the cold Void Realm as if walking on solid ground.

The aura around him was restrained and natural, without any oppressive pressure radiating outward, but the calm eyes looking their way caused the hearts of every Elder who met his gaze to inexplicably tighten.

It was precisely the target they had waited for so long and set up a inescapable net to capture—

Su Mo!

Just like that, without warning, he proactively appeared before the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance members who were ready for battle.

The scene instantly fell into a bizarre silence.

Xinghe Immortal Master stared intently at Su Mo, trying to discern any changes in him.

His aura seemed deeper and harder to gauge, but his specific Realm was still vague... Wait!

His pupils suddenly contracted!

Peak Golden Immortal!

How long had he been inside?! What kind of Heaven-Defying Opportunity was there within the Secret Realm?!

Just as terrifying waves surged in Xinghe Immortal Master's heart, Su Mo's gaze swept across the entire scene.

Then, he raised his eyes, looked at Xinghe Immortal Master whose expression was constantly changing, and curved his lips into a half-smile:

"Everyone, you've worked hard guarding this place for so long."

"Waiting for so long," Su Mo lightly flexed his wrist, "you must be... tired now, right?"

An alarm blared in Xinghe Immortal Master's heart, and a strong sense of crisis instantly overwhelmed him.

The opponent was too calm! Unreasonably calm! This was definitely not a bluff!

He instinctively roared sharply, "Form the Formation! Attack with full power! Suppress this fiend!"

However, Su Mo's next sentence, accompanied by his action, landed simultaneously:

"Then allow me to—"

He leaned forward slightly, taking one step with his right foot.

As this step landed, the Void Realm within a hundred miles centered on him suddenly sank!

It was as if an invisible weight had descended out of nowhere, causing even the stellar dust floating in the distance to freeze for an instant.

"—send you all off to rest permanently!"
