"Mr. Ding, please show mercy. After Shi Changxing was severely wounded by He Manzhi, he activated a Breakthrough Talisman and escaped. We couldn't lock him down," Gu Wufeng shouted anxiously.

He was struggling to repair his shattered body, but the lingering Killing Dao Rhythm from Ding Huan's strike made his efforts seem utterly futile.

No one laughed at Gu Wufeng. Everyone felt a chill down their spine.

What is the purpose of cultivation?

People like Gu Wufeng, who not only have considerable strength themselves but also a powerful backer like Wen Shi, end up in such a miserable state. What about us?

"Give me the Direction Jade Scroll to reach the Endless Void, and write down how to find the Creation Dao Principle for me," Ding Huan said calmly.

Before Gu Wufeng could speak, a leisurely voice came from afar:

"If you're going to the Endless Void to find the Creation Dao Principle, look for me. I just came back from there and have also come into contact with the Creation Dao Principle."

Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned the approaching man, medium build, seemingly kind. But the murderous aura emanating from him had long informed others of how many he had slain.

The fluctuation of Killing Law from him was so prominent to Ding Huan that it was as if it was engraved into him.

"Brother Chen Dao, it was Yi Ju who betrayed us..."

Wen Chendao?

Ding Huan immediately understood that the person arriving was indeed Wen Chendao, whom he had been eagerly searching for.

Since Wen Chendao had arrived, there was no need to waste words with Gu Wufeng.

He raised his hand and tore open Gu Wufeng's world, sweeping away everything within.

When he turned back, Gu Wufeng's Primordial Spirit vanished with an incredulous expression in Ding Huan's Dao Fire.

Previously, when Ding Huan intercepted Gu Wufeng's escape direction and severed him with a single blade, it was already defying heaven.

But when Ding Huan raised his hand and tore open Gu Wufeng's Tao World as if ripping open a wooden box, everyone present was shocked.

What kind of method was this?

If a Seventh Step Tao World were so easy to tear open, then the Seventh Step would not be so valuable.

Even someone as powerful as Wen Shi needs to peel away the opponent's Tao Space Law and layer by layer open the opponent's Tao World.

Ding Huan's methods were beyond the understanding of ordinary Eternal Saints.

"Mr. Ding, save me..." Yi Ju's frightened voice came through.

Ding Huan's Divine Will already sensed that Wen Chendao had long since locked Yi Ju and grasped his neck.

Even Ding Huan did not expect such a scene to happen.

Not to mention that Wen Chendao could control Yi Ju in such a short time, just this action from Wen Chendao was unusual.

Wen Chendao should have just returned to Ducheng. No matter what, he shouldn't just listen to one side of the story from Gu Wufeng, right?

At least he should investigate whether Yi Ju betrayed Wen Shi before taking action.

Ding Huan frowned. Even he couldn't control Yi Ju in such a short time.

To capture Yi Ju alive, first, he must lock the opponent's space with a domain, then attack, then make a move.

This Wen Chendao is a formidable opponent.

Ding Huan's Divine Will did not focus on Wen Chendao but on Yi Ju.

Yi Ju's Taoist Rhythm was now sealed.

However, the Space Law fluctuations around him were still within Ding Huan's perception.

Within less than ten breaths, Ding Huan noticed something strange in Yi Ju's law fluctuations.

But at such a distance, he couldn't determine what was strange.

Judging by how easily Wen Chendao captured Yi Ju, this peculiarity was most likely Wen Chendao's doing.

No wonder Wen Chendao could grab Yi Ju in an instant.

Yi Ju appeared cautious on the surface, always seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

Sadly, he couldn't discern when someone tampered with him. It was indeed deserving.

As Yi Ju calmed down, he realized he had said something wrong earlier.

He shouldn't have called out to Ding Huan for help.

But that was an instinctual reaction under the circumstances.

His life was in Wen Chendao's hands, and he subconsciously knew that only Ding Huan could save him.

The result, however, proved Gu Wufeng's words right.

"Brother Wen, I only spoke with Ding Huan a few times, without any other cooperation," Yi Ju calmed down, his tone becoming more composed.

Wen Chendao said indifferently, "I returned to Ducheng seventeen hundred years ago. I already know what kind of person you are."

Upon hearing this, Yi Ju's face changed.

He always thought that nothing in Ducheng could be hidden from him.

But Wen Chendao had been back in Ducheng for over a thousand years, and he knew nothing about it.

If Wen Chendao had been here for more than a thousand years, he would have already figured out how Fei Juer and Luo Kaisi died.

Yet he had been able to endure until today.

No wonder Wen Chendao could restrain him at the first opportunity, no wonder he felt his Tao Rhythm seemed frozen in front of Wen Chendao.

It turns out he had long been tampered with.

The onlookers had already retreated.

They could watch Luo Kaisi being killed, could watch Gu Wufeng being disciplined.

Yet no one dared to observe Wen Chendao.

This person was like a viper in Ducheng, seemingly very gentle on the surface, yet maybe you'd unknowingly perish by his hand someday.

Since Wen Chendao had long been in Ducheng, when Ding Huan killed Gu Wufeng, Wen Chendao already knew.

Knowing Ding Huan intended to kill Gu Wufeng, Wen Chendao still did not come forward. This was just waiting for Gu Wufeng to be killed.

Ding Huan felt Wen Chendao's Taoist Aura.

According to Yi Ju, Wen Chendao's strength was second only to Wen Shi.

Now it seemed indeed extraordinary.

Upon realizing that Yi Ju was captured due to being manipulated, Wen Chendao's strength got another discount in Ding Huan's mind.

Ding Huan said faintly, "Gu Wufeng was indeed pitiful. Being Wen Shi's dog for so many years, and in the end, when he died, you didn't even look at him.

He still hoped you would save him, yet who would have thought you hoped I'd kill him. If I'm not mistaken, that He Manzhi who left Ducheng also fell victim to you, didn't he?"

Wen Chendao's tone showed not the slightest surprise: "You're very clever. Not only did I kill He Manzhi, but I also killed Li Chong.

Keeping Gu Wufeng alive was just to lure you here. These people all deserved to die, so I won't leave any of them."

"So, it was you who was Li Chong..."

Even Yi Ju wasn't so foolish to not understand by now.

Wen Chendao could form the appearance of Li Chong to enter Ducheng, which meant he had already killed Li Chong long ago.

"You were waiting for me?" Ding Huan paused, blurting out the question.

Then he immediately understood the situation.

This guy must have been to the World of Gods or met someone who knew him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been waiting for him.

Jian Zhen said the Dao Pearl and Dao Pillar of the Great Dao Disk were on Wen Chendao, so naturally, Wen Chendao was also looking for the Great Dao Disk.

The reason Wen Chendao was searching for him was the same as his reason for searching for Wen Chendao.

"Yes, I was waiting for you." Wen Chendao continued to speak without making a move.

Ding Huan knew this guy was setting up Poison Dao Rules.

He laughed.

Poison Dao-like Rules had always been his means of confronting enemies, yet now people were using them against him.

Setting up Dao Rules means in front of him, what's the difference from showboating in front of an expert?

Not to mention Wen Chendao, who's in the Seventh Step.

Even a powerful being from the Deep Chaos of the Gods Universe standing before him setting up these Poison Dao Rules couldn't fool him.

Ding Huan also discovered that the entire Ducheng's trapping array and locking array, and even barriers, had all been activated.

This meant that at this moment, not even an ant could leave Ducheng.

All of Ducheng's trapping arrays and barriers were controlled by Wen Shi.

Ding Huan didn't know the relationship between Wen Chendao and Wen Shi, but being able to take over control of these big arrays and barriers must indicate a deep connection.

Ding Huan didn't take action either. Since Wen Chendao wanted to set up Poison Dao Rules, he also casually set up several Descent Laws.

The Descent Laws he set up now had long been sublimated.

The Descent Laws were still Descent Laws, just that they were derived from his own Great Dao Rules.

And no matter how formidable Wen Chendao was, he still couldn't set up Poison Dao Rules derived from his Great Dao.

Ding Huan felt the Poison Dao Rules Wen Chendao set up.

These Poison Dao Rules were similar to the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Fog Realm, evidently originating from the Fog Realm.

After Ding Huan finished setting up his Descent Laws, Wen Chendao was still deriving Poison Dao Rules.

Ding Huan didn't want to wait any longer. He took a step forward, his Domain rolling out without reservation.

At the same time, the Breaking Tribulation Blade in his hand brought up a burst of Sword Light and slashed out.

By using the Breaking Tribulation Blade to display the Mortal World Seal of the Seven Seals of Reincarnation again, Ding Huan already had a completely different understanding.

Previously, he thought the seventh seal was the strongest among the Seven Seals of Reincarnation.

Now he's completely changed his mind.

In his eyes, each of the Seven Seals of Reincarnation is the same.

Even the blade he wielded now transcended the original human's Seven Seals of Reincarnation, becoming his own Great Dao Sword Seal.

"Boom!"

The domains collided, and the endless laws in the void shattered.

Wen Chendao's face changed.

He knew Ding Huan had some skills, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill Gu Wufeng with just two blades.

But the strength of Ding Huan's domain truly exceeded his expectations.

In the void, waves of divine law shattered, and the space showed signs of collapse.

Wen Chendao found that he couldn't suppress Ding Huan with his domain.

He frantically propelled his Poison Dao Rules, launching them into Ding Huan's domain space.

At the same time, he threw Yi Ju into his own world.

Earlier, he intended to show Yi Ju how he would slay Ding Huan, letting Yi Ju die in despair.

Now he understood that it wasn't possible to easily crush Ding Huan.

Even if Ding Huan's strength was slightly weaker, it wouldn't be by much.

An enormous seal was summoned by Wen Chendao, and a vast aura swept out.

Even Ding Huan could feel that the entire Ducheng seemed to be under the restraint of this seal.

As long as Wen Chendao wished, it seemed Ducheng could turn to dust at any moment.

Even Ding Huan had this feeling, and the distant cultivators felt the same terrifying threat.

Numerous cultivators frantically tried to escape Ducheng.

Unfortunately, the barriers of Ducheng were sealed. Without Wen Chendao's permission, no one could escape.

Ding Huan didn't care at all, as the Sword Light he unleashed transformed into one Sword Seal after another.

These Sword Seals revolved in Ding Huan's Tao Domain, forming an independent mundane world.

Under the interpretation of his Sword Seal Divine Ability Rhythm, whether divine beings or humans...

All were born to inevitably die.

They were merely fleeting visitors in the mortal world. To any life, splendor was just a fleeting glimpse, not worth holding onto.

The Divine Ability Rhythm flowed endlessly.

The worldly Heaven and Earth Rules were refined, the Sword Seal condensed, and the mortal world took shape at this moment.

I am the dominator, and existence or demise is just a thought away.

Boom!

The Mortal World Sword Seal descended!

(Goodnight, fellow cultivator!)
