Chapter 912 - 905: Master of the Leather Scroll
Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
For creatures like these poison snakes, he would feel uneasy even if he killed them a second late.
The reason he used gene bloodline tracking to eliminate them was because Lei Chou once said that his family would not spare him.
Lei Chou was so ruthless; it's hard to imagine his family being kind-hearted.
Ding Huan was well aware that, although it seemed easy for him to kill, it wouldn't be so simple for someone else. Even someone at Ling Zhuzhen's level, who had reached the sixth step in the Great Dao, might be helpless.
Finding Lei Chou itself would be considered a success, not to mention killing him.
However, Ding Huan's gains were significant. The Great Thunder Skill was exactly what his three thousand Great Dao were missing.
Ding Huan casually drew out the Great Thunder Skill.
His Divine Will fell upon it, and in an instant, he captured a thread of different Daoist rhythm.
This wasn't Lei Chou's.
"My son, the entire Lei Family, including your father Lei Hongji, all died at the hands of Mo Wuji. You and your sister, no matter when, must remember to avenge your father.
This is the Great Thunder Skill your father painstakingly acquired. Use it to annihilate everyone with the surname Mo..."
Indeed, weeds grow among grasses, thorns grow long under brambles.
Crooked melons only yield cracked dates.
Ding Huan sneered, the leather scroll had been tossed into his own world.
If left outside, those Daoist rhythms above would have been eradicated long ago by his gene bloodline killing technique.
With a wave of his hand, the lingering thought dissipated into nothingness.
Lei Chou's sister, as long as she's in this dimension, cannot escape his gene bloodline pursuit and execution.
Retrieving his barrier, Ding Huan returned to the edge of the giant stone.
The stone was devoid of any life.
No matter if they could cultivate or not, at this moment, none would come out to interfere with Ding Huan.
Although they didn't witness Ding Huan's execution of Lei Chou just now, everyone had guessed it.
Coming out now is like asking to die quickly.
Standing at the edge of the stone, Ding Huan gazed at the barrier space before him.
This barrier was several grades higher than what he could arrange.
He couldn't set it up, but researching it was no problem.
Because not every part of this barrier was superior to the one he had arranged.
The arrangement of a barrier is the combination of Heaven and Earth Laws and one's own Dao Principles within space.
The laws forming this barrier had traces to follow.
It suggests that the one who set this barrier either wasn't flawless in the Great Dao or their understanding of Heaven and Earth Laws wasn't as profound as his.
Though his barrier might be of lower grade, and even Lei Chou could shatter it with a single blow,
that's because he had set it casually, along with his Great Dao currently only at the fourth step, many insights into Dao Principles weren't yet in place.
Purely in terms of barrier laws, his barriers are more refined than these laws.
Ding Huan stepped forward, and under the Great Universe Cycle, began to slowly strip away the constitutive laws of this barrier.
No matter how strong this barrier before him is, it's no match for the Chaos Barrier entwining the Calamity Law he had encountered earlier.
That was a natural barrier, while this is a man-made barrier.
As Ding Huan peeled away layer after layer of laws on the outer barrier, days later, he completely opened the barrier before him.
The Everlasting Talisman turned into a brand upon Ding Huan's wrist; if he wished, he could activate it at any moment to escape.
The barrier outside the stone couldn't prevent his Everlasting Talisman.
What appeared before him left Ding Huan somewhat shocked; the place was filled with bones.
These weren't white bones, but gray bones.
For any cultivator reaching the Saint Level in the Great Dao, even if fallen or slain, their bones would still carry Daoist rhythm, so they wouldn't appear gray.
Even after a million years, these bones should have a faint golden hue.
But here, all were gray bones, evidently, the cultivators who entered had lost their Tao Foundation and all Daoist rhythms.
Ding Huan's gaze landed on a slightly smaller bone; although it lacked Daoist rhythm, Ding Huan instantly recognized it.
It was Yishang's bone.
This suggests that Yishang perished here after entering.
Ding Huan's eyes turned cold.
Yishang was an old friend; if not for her, Bai He would have fallen long ago.
Now that Yishang has died here, no matter what, he must avenge her.
Ding Huan did not touch Yishang's remains; instead, he let his Divine Will sweep across.
This space was not large, with another layer of restriction blocking his Divine Will at the end.
Ding Huan didn't immediately attempt to breach the restriction. He first lifted Yishang's remains and placed them into the Jade Coffin before wielding the Breaking Tribulation Blade.
Simultaneously, Ding Huan began to arrange various Poison Dao Laws and Downfall Laws.
Whether they could be utilized or not, he'd set them up first.
Before he could finish his arrangements, the restriction blocking his entry suddenly opened before him.
"Crack!"
A bone, already gray and dull, was tossed out, landing not far from Ding Huan's feet.
The restriction remained open without being re-applied.
Without using Divine Will, Ding Huan could clearly see a gray-robed man sitting in the void.
The flowing Daoist rhythm around the man appeared familiar to Ding Huan, yet he couldn't recall where.
"You managed to do what no one else could in the fourth step—open my barrier,"
The voice of the gray-robed man reached his ears, devoid of any emotional tone.
Ding Huan still did not answer, a slight chill running down his back.
He believed that even if his Great Dao wasn't the first in the universe, it was among the top.
To know that his cultivation until now, his Great Universe Technique was refining and growing almost every moment.
With his understanding of the Great Dao and the Heaven and Earth Laws, a Daoist Skill that grows continuously like his, he really hadn't seen before.
Even if someone else's Great Dao were equal to his, it certainly wouldn't surpass his.
Moreover, he used his own Taoism to prove the Dao in the fourth step, hiding his cultivation through the Great Dao Rules.
Now, not to mention becoming one with the surrounding space, there wasn't the slightest flaw in him.
How did this guy in front of him see through his cultivation?
Something wasn't right.
Ding Huan stared at this guy, only now realizing it.
He didn't even know what this person looked like.
Clearly, the other was staring at him, and he was always watching this guy, yet why did he have no concept of the other's appearance in his mind?
Only after the other saw through his cultivation did he become alarmed and remember.
Ding Huan fixed a steady gaze on the other's face.
No matter how he scrutinized, and how his Divine Will swept over, he still had no concept of the other's face.
This guy seemed to have no face, but why did he always feel that the other did have a face?
"Was it you who killed my friend?" Ding Huan's domain expanded wildly, the Sword Force of the Breaking Tribulation Blade gathered at this moment.
The grey-robed man seemed very strong, but no matter how strong the opponent was, he would never retreat without a fight.
"Your Great Dao is indeed remarkable, but it's all leftover from my playground..."
The grey-robed man's voice came again: "Let's make a deal; you offer your Great Dao and flesh and blood, and in the future, I'll allow you to become a Heavenly Creation Demon God in my world..."
The other's words did not affect Ding Huan's mind in the slightest.
Ha, the Great Universe Technique is something you played around with and threw away? No wonder it has no face.
Even though Ding Huan's domain enveloped this space, and the Sword Force of the Breaking Tribulation Blade was continuously increasing, he didn't make a move.
He had a vague feeling inside that this guy was extremely strong.
To make a move now, he was very likely to lose the initiative.
Sometimes, attacking first isn't necessarily advantageous.
Others might not understand what the opposite party said.
But Ding Huan understood.
What he heard frightened him.
According to the other, the Dao he cultivated...
Wasn't it akin to the initial formation of chaos?
Was the guy in front of him using his own Great Dao as chaos to construct a Chaos World?
Once his Chaos World is constructed, all existences within his world will become Chaos Demon Gods as his world opens.
In some sense, his Great Universe Technique is similar to this great path.
The difference is,
his Great Universe Technique is not about creating a world out of nothing, nor about forming Heavenly Creation Demon Gods.
The world his Great Dao forms in the future gradually forms, and in fact, his world has long contained living creatures, albeit ordinary ones.
There are no Heavenly Creation Demon Gods, nor Chaos Creatures.
This person aims to construct chaos out of himself, then form a Chaos World.
Once his Chaos World forms, he will be the god of this Chaos World, the one and only god.
To guide his Great Dao in this direction must be someone who has experienced the opening of a Chaotic Universe.
Perhaps he is a Heavenly Creation Demon God himself.
Knowing the danger, Ding Huan still constructed his Great Universe Technique Circulation.
With just one cycle, Ding Huan retracted his Circulation.
He knew who this person was.
It was the owner of that leather scroll.
It could also be a clone of the leather scroll's owner, or rather, more likely a clone.
Not only that, under his Great Universe Technique Circulation, Ding Huan finally saw the other's appearance clearly.
It's true that this guy indeed has no face.
Before, he felt this guy had facial features; the Great Universe Technique Circulation clearly told him that this person had none.
More importantly, he felt that this person dared not move, most likely related to his own Great Dao.
Sure enough, almost at the same time when Ding Huan withdrew his Circulation, the grey-robed man's tone turned icy:
"So it was you who took my leather scroll and ruined my plan."
After these words, the space itself seemed to chill with cold air.
The ant before him was his own choice because it carried great fortune and creation.
Yet the matter was disrupted by this ant.
This guy not only stripped away and destroyed his Great Dao imprint but also interfered with his other schemes.
Had his plan not been destroyed, why would he need to be here?
At this moment, he even doubted the usefulness of the Big Calculation Skill.
Because he chose Ding Huan utilizing the Big Calculation Skill.
Ding Huan laughed angrily: "Old thing, you schemed against me, left a Dao imprint on me, and then when I destroyed it, you dare to turn the tables?
I've never seen such a shameless person. If Mr. Huan guessed right, you probably have five such clones?"
(Good night, Fellow Daoist!)
