345: Chapter 345 Disrespectful to the Elderly

Su Mo raised his left hand, palm upward, fingers slightly spread.

Hum—!!!

A vast, indescribable shadow emerged from above his palm out of thin air, expanding rapidly!

Wherever it passed, whether it was the dissipating power of the stars, the broken spiritual light of Magic Treasures, or even the minuscule energy drifting in the Void Realm, all were ruthlessly decomposed, assimilated, and returned to the most primitive particles.

"Chaos Qi! Such pure and vast... Is, is this a feature of the Chaos Dao Body?!" Immortal Master Xinghe's eyes were splitting, finally recognizing the essence of that gray airflow, and he gasped in shock, "Quick! Operate the Formation with full power! Suppress him at all costs!!"

However, Su Mo just raised the corner of his mouth, and that raised palm, without hesitation... slammed down!

The shadow of the Cangxu Realm, expanded to the extreme, followed his downward press like a star of destruction endowed with life and will, and fell with a terrifying momentum that crushed everything!

"Zhou Tian Star Dou, Defend!!"

The Elders roared hoarsely, pouring all their remaining power—even power obtained by burning their Origin—madly into the starlight array diagram beneath their feet.

The brilliant light curtain lit up again, more solid than before, attempting a final struggle.

But, it was meaningless.

The moment the Chaos-colored world shadow touched the light curtain, the seemingly tough starlight barrier, as if encountering its nemesis, could not even form a moment of stalemate before dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"No—!!"

In the eyes of the dozen or so Elders filled with extreme despair, that vast and boundless Chaos shadow ruthlessly covered and pressed down.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a heart-palpitating, absolute "annihilation" and "return to silence".

Starlight, Immortal power, Magic Treasures, Immortal bodies, Divine Soul... everything, under the shroud of that gray Chaos light, silently decomposed and dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Not even a single wail could be heard.

In place, only a huge, smooth, deep void pit remained, along with the last few wisps of Chaos lingering in the air.

Su Mo slowly withdrew his hand, and the shadow above his head dissipated.

Wiping out a dozen Late Golden Immortal and even Peak Golden Immortal Cultivators in one blow, the power of this newly formed Chaos dao foundation was even more domineering than he had expected.

It was the natural nemesis of the vast majority of Dao techniques and Divine Abilities, pointing directly to the Origin.

"At least I was saved from collecting Materials." Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's shadow appeared at the right time, looking at the top-tier Materials remaining in the pit, with a hint of satisfaction in his tone.

"The legacies of these Peak Golden Immortal Cultivators, combined with the star essence they used to set up the Formation, are perfect as high-quality consumables and partial array bases for the 'Nine Abyss Returning Origin Great Formation'."

Su Mo frowned slightly and asked:

"How can you be sure that the Devouring Dao Body is in this Yunxiao Heaven?"

Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable heard this, and a hint of almost cunning amusement appeared on his shadow's face:

"Little friend might not know. This Void Nether Epiphyllum petal is the last one in my hands. It is also the only one remaining in this realm."

"Back then, not only did I take this petal, but I also made some other preparations."

His tone was flat, but it carried a sense of having calculated all heavenly secrets:

"I have already... modified all environments that could possibly nurture the Void Nether Epiphyllum. In other words, except for this petal in my hand, at least within the vast area I have deduced, this flower is already extinct."

A glimmer of realization flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and then he looked at the Immortal Venerable's shadow speechlessly:

"You really are... disrespectful to the old... and deep in your planning."

Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable didn't care at all and continued:

"Although the Devouring Dao Body is domineering, with rapid progress and astonishing combat power, to break through the shackles of the Taiyi Golden Immortal and glimpse a higher path, one must find a special Heaven And Earth Treasure and refine it completely to lay a supreme Foundation."

Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable's tone was certain, and his shadow pointed to the pitch-black petal Su Mo had put away:

"And this Void Nether Epiphyllum petal is the only item that meets the requirements!"

Su Mo's eyes narrowed: "It's just this petal?"

"Exactly!" Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable nodded, "The characteristics of this flower fit perfectly with what the Devouring Dao Body needs. In other words, without this item, the owner of the Devouring Dao Body would have almost no possibility of stepping into a higher level!"

Su Mo gasped, immediately seizing the key to the problem:

"You have planned so deeply, then what is the current cultivation of the Devouring Dao Body we are going to face..."

"At least it is the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!" Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable answered frankly, his shadow's gaze also becoming a bit heavier, "And, it is very likely... to be the Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm! Just one step away!"

Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Su Mo's heart trembled.

The Golden Immortal and Taiyi are a huge watershed in Immortal cultivation, and the gap in strength is more than heaven and earth!

Not to mention the Peak realm!

This is no longer as simple as fighting above one's level; it is simply a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

Seeing Su Mo's change in expression, Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable immediately comforted him:

"Little friend, rest assured! It is precisely because the opponent is powerful that I have spent so much effort to set up this trap! We have at least an eighty percent chance of trapping them in the Formation and seizing their Origin!"

Eighty percent chance? Against a Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal Devouring Dao Body?

Su Mo's thoughts raced. This probability sounds... not much different from having none?

If the other party has any unexpected trump cards or changes, they could all be doomed.

But as Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable said, the trap is set, the Epiphyllum has appeared, and the other party will definitely come!

Now the arrow is on the string, there is no retreat!

Su Mo's tone returned to calm:

"In that case, let's start setting up the Formation. Let me see what kind of demeanor this Peak Taiyi Devouring Dao Body has."

"Good!"

Great Desire Heavenly Immortal Venerable said no more, his shadow suddenly dispersed, turning into countless fine gray-gold rune torrents, pouring into the huge void pit below and the surrounding Meteorite Sea Void Realm.

He moved those remaining Materials.

Under the guidance of the gray-gold runes, these Materials quickly melted and reorganized, following some ancient and mysterious trajectory, branding themselves into the Void Realm, forming deep and obscure Formation patterns.

Su Mo could feel that a huge, precise, and oppressive Formation was gradually taking shape, and at its core was the Void Nether Epiphyllum petal.

...

Meanwhile.

Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance headquarters, on the Alliance Leader's throne carved from Chaos warm jade.

Yunxiao Immortal Venerable—Yun Wuya, who had been closing his eyes and dozing, his aura almost merging with this world, suddenly opened those pure black eyes that swallowed all light!

Just that moment ago, he clearly sensed that the dozen or so core Elders he had sent to the Northern Territory...

Their life aura, at the same time, was completely annihilated!

Not even a wisp of remnant soul had escaped!

This meant they had encountered an unimaginable and irresistible instant eradication!

Who? Who dared to slaughter the Elders of his Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance so unscrupulously?!

But the next moment, an aura he could not resist appeared.

"Void... Nether... Epiphyllum..."

Yun Wuya's thin lips moved slightly, spitting out four whispers that seemed to come from ancient times.

In those pure black eyes of his, for the first time, a clearly visible, mixed with ecstasy, greed, and endless cold killing intent was revealed!

The Void Nether Epiphyllum, which he had been searching for for tens of thousands of years but had always been untraceable, had suddenly appeared.

Moreover, the location of its appearance was exactly where his subordinates had just been wiped out... the Northern Territory Meteorite Sea!

Coincidence? Trap?

A cold arc slowly curled up at the corner of Yun Wuya's mouth. Whether it was a coincidence or a trap, to him, it didn't matter.

That Void Nether Epiphyllum, he was determined to get!

Anyone who blocked him... would be completely devoured and annihilated!

Yun Wuya waved his hand, and his whole person seemed to turn into a black hole, all light was absorbed, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

When the light returned, the throne was empty.

Only a jet-black stream of light, pure to the extreme, as if it could swallow even light and space, ignored the heavy Restrictions and spatial barriers of the Sky Patrol Immortal Alliance headquarters, and with an almost arrogant posture, tore through the heavy Void Realm, shooting towards the direction of the Northern Territory Meteorite Sea!

Its speed was so fast that it far exceeded the Escape Light of ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals, and wherever it passed, even the stable Immortal Realm space left a black crack that was difficult to heal for a long time!
