Chapter 733: Father, Did You Come Out Just to Play with Me?
Mangcang Mountain Range.
The Azure Divine Bull returned to report to Shen Mo.
Hearing that Lei Zizhen and Shi Tianhao had already accepted what he sent, Shen Mo revealed a smile in his heart.
Good.
They should accept it.
That Shi Tianhao was likely still secretly rejoicing.
Shi Tianhao surely believed that his identity had not yet been exposed.
Perhaps he was still dreaming of surpassing him.
"By the way, are there still treasures within the Mangcang Mountain Range that contain the aura of the Void?" Shen Mo asked.
The Azure Divine Bull rumbled, "No more. Treasures containing the Great Dao of the Void are exceedingly rare, and we hardly dare to touch such things…"
Shen Mo chuckled.
At least you're honest.
Just admit you don't dare.
The Black Death Heavenly Serpent respectfully said, "Master, I do know of a place with treasures containing the Great Dao of the Void, but it is extremely dangerous. Even Old Tree dares not approach."
Shen Mo's eyes lit up. "Tell me."
The Black Death Heavenly Serpent revealed the location.
It turned out to be within a chaotic void current.
Moreover, Demon Supremes often entered and exited there, making it exceedingly perilous.
The Black Death Heavenly Serpent said in a low voice, "I have the ability to traverse the void. By chance, I discovered that the Dark Division of the demon race has been cultivating that Dark Division Holy Son there all along."
"However, that Holy Son is often guarded by three or more Demon Supremes…"
He left the rest unsaid.
But Shen Mo already understood.
The protection around that Dark Division Holy Son was far too strong.
That made it almost impossible to enter the area.
The treasures containing the aura of the Void there would naturally be difficult to obtain.
Shen Mo's interest, however, was piqued.
The Dark Division Holy Son?
The Black Death Heavenly Serpent, seeing Shen Mo's expression, immediately elaborated on the Holy Son's background.
"So that's it. The Dark Division Holy Son was not originally from the Five Sacred Demon Nations, but a genius of the Dark Division demons from a small world."
"After he rose to prominence, he was absorbed into the Dark Division of the Five Sacred Demon Nations and nurtured with great effort."
Shen Mo pondered.
The demons were spread across the myriad worlds.
Among them, the Five Sacred Demon Nations of the Shengxuan World were one of the largest branches.
This, Shen Mo already knew.
No wonder he had never heard of this Holy Son before—it turned out he came from another world.
Shen Mo looked inward at his life panel and shook his head.
The process of obtaining such treasures had left him battered and scarred.
He had nearly injured his very foundation.
"With the strength of a Three-Tribulation Supreme, I am not yet enough to claim that opportunity."
Shen Mo mused. "But it doesn't matter. There is still time. I can raise my realm to the level of Four-Tribulation Supreme, then seek that fortune."
"As for Shi Tianhao, his growth will still take some time."
Shen Mo stepped forward, instantly entering the void.
The chaotic void currents surged past.
Yet they could not harm him in the least.
Instead, he felt as though he were bathing in warm water.
Almost like returning to his mother's embrace.
Shen Mo stretched out his hand.
The void currents flowed between his fingers.
Threads of aura immediately merged into his body.
This was the aura of the Great Dao of the Void.
Of course, such cultivation of the Void Dao could not compare to directly absorbing treasures rich in void aura.
But over time, the accumulation was not insignificant.
"Father!"
At that moment, a vast figure rushed near.
It was Sui Xing.
"Father, did you come out just to play with me?" Sui Xing grinned.
Shen Mo chuckled. "You could say that."
Sui Xing hurriedly added, "Oh, Father! I've been wandering through many small worlds recently, and I found that so many of them have been occupied by the demon race."
"Let's go and wipe out those demons!"
Shen Mo nodded. "Very well. I just happen to have the time."
In this world exist the vast and boundless myriad heavens.
Yet many worlds are far from as immense as Shengxuan Heaven and Earth.
Even a world such as Guzhou Heaven and Earth counts as a great world among the myriad.
All races are scattered throughout these heavens.
Humans, demons, and dragons are the three most numerous races, occupying the greatest number of worlds.
However, the origin of the demonic race is unknown. They infest existence like tumors.
Nearly every world has endured their invasion and corruption.
Once invaded, no world can ever rid itself of the demons' nightmare.
On demonic soil, magic beasts, magic humans, and magic dragons are born endlessly.
They slaughter their own kin and assimilate all things.
Shengxuan Heaven and Earth, being among the greatest of worlds, has naturally suffered the most invasions.
The Five Sacred Demon Nations are the demons' largest branch.
…
In the blink of an eye, fifty years passed.
Shen Mo roamed the Shijie, exploring the myriad heavens.
In each world he descended, he eradicated the demons that plagued it.
He thus witnessed countless scenes of devastation and ruin.
The demons were like a malignant cancer of creation.
As though born to embody destruction, corruption, and slaughter.
Shen Mo could kill Demon Supremes and purify small demonic soils.
But when facing vast expanses of corrupted land, he could do nothing.
"Ancestral Demon Soil… what kind of place is it, and why do the demons all seek it?"
Shen Mo pondered deeply.
He had slain several demon holy sons.
From their memories, he learned of the Ancestral Demon Soil.
The very name alone carried immense weight for the demons.
They sought it desperately.
Shen Mo also learned that within the sacred souls of Fuzu and the Nine Yin Saint were secrets tied to that place.
This was why the demon saints wanted to kill them and seize their soul memories at any cost.
Yet because Shen Mo had interfered, the two, relying on the Futian Treasure Realm, still managed to endure.
That region was plagued by chaotic void currents and treacherous vortices—hazards even saints feared.
For demon saints across the myriad heavens to rush there would take time.
Thus, Shen Mo had been able to spend fifty years abroad, seeking treasures imbued with the aura of the Void.
Fifty years later.
When he returned to Shengxuan Heaven and Earth, his cultivation had already risen to the level of Six-Tribulation Supreme.
"With my current strength, dealing with that Dark Division Holy Son should not be difficult."
"Still, it is best to first see how Shi Tianhao fares before making a decision."
Shen Mo left the Shijie outside Shengxuan Heaven and Earth, selected an anchor point, and reentered.
With a shift of vision, he stood upon the teleportation array of the Lei Prison Clan.
Guards were always stationed by the array. Upon seeing him, they immediately rose and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Supreme Ling!"
Shen Mo gave a slight nod. "I wish to meet Lei Daoheng, Supreme Lei."
The Lei Prison Clan cultivator bowed deeply. "Please, Supreme Ling, follow me to the main hall. I shall at once send for the elder supreme."
Shen Mo nodded and followed him.
Along the way, he asked casually, "I have been gone for fifty years. Has anything significant occurred recently?"
The cultivator's face lit with joy. "Indeed! The greatest news is that our Lei Prison Clan's Elder Stone, blessed by fortune, has ascended to the Supreme Realm!"
