The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 222 Shi Mo Makes a Move
The invisible fluctuations of the powerful beings' will descending to investigate made Qin Yun and Shenxiao Daoist increasingly panicked and helpless.

Shi Mo, however, seemed oblivious, and began his tribulation under the watchful eyes of numerous powerful figures, including those at the Heavenly Dao Realm.

This heavenly tribulation was nothing to Shi Mo. The wind tribulation was like a gentle breeze, while the fire tribulation and the violent heavenly lightning strikes fell on his true form, the Star Stone Giant, as if they were just tickling him.

Having easily survived the tribulation, Shi Mo began cultivating to increase his magical power, hoping to reach the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm as soon as possible.

Before long, more than twenty half-step Ancestral Demons and Heavenly Demon Ninth Heaven experts with strength comparable to Great Powers arrived in the Great Chang World and tacitly joined forces to attack Shi Mo, Qin Yun, and Shen Xiao.

Qin Yun gritted his teeth and unleashed the Great Divine Power Zhou Tian Xing Jie, while Shenxiao Daoren also summoned the Twelve Capital Heavenly Thunder Gods and Demons and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Thunder Array Flags he had just obtained from the Thunder Beast Mansion.

"You do your best to protect the creatures of the Great Chang World, I will deal with them," Shi Mo's clone, who had already cultivated to the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal realm, calmly instructed.

The moment those demons from the demonic path revealed their auras, it enraged the Heavenly Dao of the Great Chang World. Calamity clouds gathered, and the power of heaven and earth suppressed them.

However, they were not afraid of the Heavenly Dao of a small world. After all, even the weakest among them was a half-step Ancestral Demon, who could barely contend with powerful beings.

However, the Heavenly Dao of the Great Chang World rejects them, making it difficult for their attacks to draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao, thus greatly reducing the power of their attacks.

With a thought, Qin Yun, who had gathered a large number of starlight flying swords to attack, said, "The Heavenly Court's forces should arrive soon. We just need to hold back these demonic demons."

“My Biyou Palace will definitely send a Celestial Immortal comparable to a Great Power,” Shenxiao Daoist said from the side. “However, we must first prevent them from opening up the world passage and setting up an array to transform the Great Chang World into a demonic world, otherwise the situation will be very unfavorable for us.”

Meanwhile, the twenty or thirty half-step Ancestral Demons and Demon Lords on the demonic side had already set aside a few to begin setting up the world passage.

With a whoosh, Shi Mo reached out and made a clapping motion towards the distance. Instantly, an invisible wave spread out. The array that a half-step Ancestral Demon on the demonic path had just set up to open a world passage collapsed as space trembled.

"What? His attack can actually affect the penetration of spatial layers?" The half-step Ancestral Demons and Demon Lords on the demonic side were taken aback.

"Hold them back, don't give Shi Mo a chance to make a move," one of the demon lords commanded telepathically. The group of powerful demonic cultivators who had quickly approached Shi Mo and his companions formed a formation and, with the help of the formation, unleashed their powerful attack techniques.

With a whoosh, Qin Yun unleashed a sharp sword light, the sheer power of his natal flying sword causing the leading demon lords to change their expressions: "A Primordial Spiritual Treasure?"

With a whoosh, Shi Mo's palm grew larger, as if a world was being born in his palm. The terrifying power caused space to distort and tremble, directly blocking more than half of the attack. He only had to retract his palm with a slight tremor.

"At the level of a great power?" Sensing the profound power contained in Shi Mo's palm strike, the expressions of the several demon lords changed again.

With the help of the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Array and the array flags, Shenxiao Daoist also unleashed the strength of a half-step Golden Immortal.

For a moment, large swathes of the void where the two sides clashed were shaken and distorted, with energy surging as if boiling.

With a hiss, Qin Yun's incredibly fast sword strike caused the black mist-like energy gathered by the array of demonic cultivators to vibrate.
"They're that strong?" The Demon Lords were all shocked and furious. Shi Mo and Qin Yun both had combat power comparable to a Great Power, which was truly beyond their expectations.

Moreover, the world passage was destroyed by Shi Mo as soon as it was opened, so they couldn't draw on the power of the demonic world to enhance it.

Amidst the deafening roar of energy explosions, Shi Mo and his companions withstood the combined attacks of a group of powerful demonic cultivators. Shi Mo's attacks, which occasionally pierced through space, caused the area to distort and vibrate, disrupting the coordinated teamwork among the demonic cultivators.

"His influence on spacetime has reached such a level, could he have already achieved the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit? How could his cultivation progress so quickly?" The demonic faction was shocked and furious.

At the same time, the powerful senior brother Sa from Biyou Palace, as well as the Twenty-Eight Constellations led by Nezha, the Third Prince of Heaven, also arrived.

"Set up a net of heaven and earth to seal off the Great Chang World!" With a command from Nezha, the Third Prince, 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals immediately began to work in an orderly manner to set up the net.

At the same time, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, each possessing strength comparable to a great being, also stormed into the Great Chang World, joining forces to attack the powerful figures of the demonic path.

Senior Brother Sa also flew over, and with a wave of his hand, lightning descended from the sky, striking fiercely. Senior Brother Sa, skilled in the Heavenly Gang Thunder Technique, possessed truly terrifying attack methods.

With their addition, the demonic forces immediately found themselves in a difficult position.

Boom. In the distance, three half-step Heavenly Demons continued to set up an array. Soon, the array was activated, which aroused the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Demon Abyss in the distance. Centered on the array, dark and distorted Heavenly Dao power immediately seeped in.

However, without the help of the world passage, even the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Abyss, the stronghold of the demonic path, can only spread within a few miles before being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of the Great Chang World.

Next came the slaughter of living beings, using the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Abyss to transform the Great Prosperity World.
But Shi Mo would not allow them to transform so easily. With a thought, he activated the array he had already set up in the Great Chang World, drawing on the power of starlight to distort space. The terrifying tearing force directly caused the array base they had set up to become misaligned, and the entire array collapsed. The power of the Dark Abyss Heavenly Dao that had been drawn down naturally dissipated.

"What?!" The demonic faction was shocked and furious, while Qin Yun and Shenxiao Daoist were both surprised and delighted.

"Useless!" Just then, a deep, angry shout was heard, accompanied by a loud bang, as a black-robed man broke through the barrier of the heavenly soldiers and generals and entered the Great Chang World.

The moment he appeared, he simply swung his palm down, and a red light flew out, cutting the void in two wherever it passed, before slashing towards the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

Boom! The combined starlight power of the Twenty-Eight Mansions collapsed in the face of this attack.

"The Great Venerable One Who Destroys Stars?" Everyone was shocked when they saw the man in black robes.

This guy is known as the strongest being below the Great Power level in the Three Realms. He was born a Chaos Demon God and attained enlightenment through black clouds. He loves to devour stars. Later, he joined the Devouring Spirit lineage of the Demonic Path. He comprehended the Great Dao but did not break through to the Ancestral Demon level. This was all so that he could devour anything in the small world.

As soon as the Great Venerable Star Destroyer appeared, the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism arrived immediately. The Heavenly Court and Buddhism had been hunting down this sinful fellow who had devoured countless beings.

The Great Venerable Annihilation Star looked leisurely at the eighteen Arhats who appeared in the sky and laughed: "Haha, you're fast enough! It's a pity that you've always wanted to kill me but couldn't. I have committed countless sins, and killing me would bring you great merit and fortune. But you eighteen Arhats, who were able to suppress me at the beginning, are now being suppressed by me. How laughable, how laughable!"

"Destroy Star!" All eighteen Arhats were furious, with the leader, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, shouting, "The cycle of Heaven, cause and effect, retribution! If you continue to wreak havoc so wantonly, even if we don't punish you, Heaven will!" "How will you punish me? How will you be punished?" The Great Venerable Destroyer Star laughed indifferently, "Compared to your Buddhist sect, the Heavenly Court is slower, but it has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of figures suddenly appeared in the starry sky. They were the thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends of the Heavenly Court. Some of them were comparable to great powers, and most of them had the strength of a half-step Golden Immortal.

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation they jointly set up was arguably the largest formation in the small world, but the Star Destroyer Venerable remained unconcerned.

"Destroyer of Stars, retreat now and we may let you go, otherwise we will have to fight again," all 108 Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends said with sharp eyes and cold expressions.

"Fight me?" The Star Destroyer smiled and shook his head, then flipped his hand and took out a silver plate.

The silver disc, radiating intense light, resembled a moon, drawing upon the power of the distant Taiyin star. The terrifyingly dense Taiyin energy rapidly spread everywhere, enveloping the entire Great Chang world.

"The Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Taiyin Plate?" Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed.

The Great Venerable Annihilation Star laughed confidently, "Come on, if you have the guts, all you eighteen Arhats, the thirty-six Heavenly Generals and the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, come over here and fight me in this Taiyin Domain."

Upon hearing this, the Eighteen Arhats and the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends all turned pale.

With the assistance of the Taiyin Plate, the Great Venerable of Extinction Star has too much of an advantage, and they might suffer a great loss if things go wrong.

For a moment, the eighteen Arhats and the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends all hesitated.

"Haha, what? Are you all scared?" The Great Venerable Annihilator laughed heartily.

Just then, a figure tore through space and time and appeared in the starry sky outside the Great Chang World. It was Erlang Zhenjun, wearing silver armor, holding a three-pointed double-edged sword, and accompanied by a dog.

The Great Venerable of Extinction Star's expression changed slightly, then he laughed loudly: "Haha, I didn't expect you to come, Yang Jian. Everyone says you are the number one warrior of the Heavenly Court and the number one person of the Jade Void Palace for three generations, but in my opinion, you are nothing special."

Ah. But at that moment, amidst a sudden scream, the Star Destroyer, whose laughter abruptly stopped, turned his head and saw that Shi Mo himself, who had ended his cultivation at some point, suddenly made a move, grabbing a Demon Lord as if piercing through space and crushing him to death.

Immediately afterwards, as Shi Mo flipped his hand, the space was stirred up like water, and several demon lords and half-step ancestral demons who were directly sucked in were killed by Shi Mo and turned into ashes.

"What?" Shi Mo's swift and decisive killing of the Demon Lord and the half-step Ancestral Demon immediately surprised everyone.

"The Great Dao?" The Star Destroyer Grand Venerable also sensed something and looked at Shi Mo in surprise: "How long has he been cultivating? How could he possibly comprehend the Great Dao? And such a top-tier Great Dao with such terrifying power?"

Immediately afterwards, it was discovered that the energy of the entire Dachang Shimo was boiling, completely mobilized by Shimo, and even resisted the Taiyin power gathered by the Taiyin Plate. The Great Venerable of Extinction Star couldn't help but change his expression again: "This is mobilizing the power of a small world?"

At this moment, Shi Mo was as if he had become the Heavenly Dao of the Great Chang World, and the power of the Heavenly Dao under his control was terrifying.

"Destroyer of Stars, what are you standing there for? You came to the Great Chang World to kill me, you came for my true form, right? What are you hesitating for? Just make your move! Let me see if you, the strongest in the Three Realms below the Great Power, are truly worthy of the title," Shi Mo said with a faint smile, but it made the Destroyer of Stars' face turn cold and ugly.

As he spoke, he stepped into mid-air, his surging aura spreading out, making him appear like a humanoid innate spiritual treasure, causing everyone to show expressions of astonishment and surprise.

Qin Yun, without any mercy, controlled his flying sword to attack the panicked and scattered half-step Ancestral Demon of the Demonic Path.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations of Heaven, the One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends, and the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism, who had just realized what was happening, were overjoyed and began to surround and kill the fleeing Demon Lords and Half-Step Ancestral Demons.

"Do you think you can stop me just because you've comprehended the Great Dao?" The Great Venerable Annihilation, now calm, sneered and transformed into a massive cloud. The black cloud obscured the sky, giving everyone an invisible sense of oppression.

Deep within the dark clouds emanated a chilling red light, from which emerged a gigantic face. Two red arms, seemingly forged from reddish rock, also reached out from the clouds.

The arm, which stretched for tens of thousands of miles, reached out to grab Shi Mo, but with a dull thud, it was caught by Shi Mo's two equally outstretched rocky hands.

"You" suddenly exerted force, but the Star Destroyer Venerable could not break free from Shi Mo's hands. He was shocked, for his arms were even more terrifying than ordinary innate spiritual treasures.

At the same time, Shi Mo, who had already cultivated the Three Heads and Six Arms Divine Power, suddenly stretched out his other four arms and grabbed at the black cloud that was the true form of the Star Destroyer Venerable.

With a clang, a black chain radiating endless cold air flew out, attempting to block Shi Mo's arm, but it was forced back by his casual slapping hands.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Mo grabbed the innate spiritual treasure, the Cloud-Locking Chain, with both hands, while his other two hands reached for the black cloud body of the Star-Destroying Venerable.

The dark clouds, which roared and shook violently, seemed to gather and disperse unpredictably, as if they were not subject to any force.

"You can't do anything to me," the Star Destroyer Venerable roared with a ferocious expression.

However, he was terrified the next moment, because Shi Mo's hand, which had crushed his black cloud body, unleashed a terrifying suction force, actually absorbing the scattered black cloud and swallowing it whole.

At the same time, the aura emanating from Shi Mo's palm, which was devouring the black clouds, grew increasingly powerful.
The Great Venerable of No Star Extinction finally panicked and tried desperately to break free from Shi Mo, but it was all in vain.

"He's finished!" Qin Yun and the others were overjoyed and excited. As they watched Shi Mo's palm flip over, trapping the innate spiritual treasure, the Moyun Locking Chain, as if it encompassed heaven and earth and sealed off space and time, Qin Yun's eyes lit up and he revealed a thoughtful expression. He was touched and gained more insights into his swordsmanship.

Turning his gaze to the nineteen continents of the Great Chang World, and seeing the many tense people around him, Qin Yun finally understood. His flying sword pierced through the spatial barrier, instantly penetrating the body of one of the few remaining powerful demonic cultivators—a demon lord.

"No!" the Demon Lord roared in terror as his body exploded, sending a chill down the spines of the other half-step Heavenly Demons.
