"You won't escape." A sinister voice rang out.

Then a frail, sparsely-haired man appeared in front of the two of them without warning.

"It's you!" Geng Yuan stared wide-eyed at the figure before him, awakening from his bewilderment.

It was the one who wanted to take his dao companion, Lei Hen. Hadn't this guy fled? Why was he here again?

"Yes, it's me," Huan said coolly, raising his hand to grab Lei Hen once more.

Geng Yuan, enraged, immediately threw a punch.

He possessed magical treasures, but to those with a Chaos Dao Body, fists were the most fearsome magical treasures.

Each punch thrown could stir the Heaven and Earth Rules, tearing apart all Tao Domains.

But just as Geng Yuan launched his punch, a vortex of Tao Rhythms spiraled up from Huan's brow, like a sudden cosmic storm.

The vortex storm shattered Geng Yuan's punch force's Tao Rhythm in an instant, breaking the bones in his arm for the third time, tossing him against the crumbling city wall, then pulling him back with the cosmic storm.

Yet the cosmic vortex storm did not cease, drawing in the spectating cultivators, who then turned into blood mist.

Those who stayed to watch the cultivators' battle hoped to enhance their understanding of the Great Dao, but no one wanted to die.

Seeing that entering the vortex storm meant death, the spectators began to flee.

Even the cultivators inside the city were frantically escaping.

"Ha ha, don't think just because your Dao Heart is shattered that you're worthless; even if you stood here unscathed, in my eyes, you're nothing more than an ant."

Huan looked disdainfully at the utterly stunned Geng Yuan.

Geng Yuan's Dao Heart truly was in ruins.

He'd been successively defeated by Ding Huan, Di He, and Huan, each time with just a single divine skill.

Such blows to his Dao Heart were devastating.

"Brother..." Lei Hen stood timidly before Huan.

Huan looked coldly at Lei Hen, "Playing such tricks in front of me will only make you die faster."

Lei Hen took a deep breath, bowing again, "Brother, I am of use to you."

"Of course, you're of use to me, otherwise why would I seize you? Will you come with me willingly, or shall I make you?" Huan said flatly.

Lei Hen's tone became calm, "Brother, I possess a Mutated Thunder Attribute Dao Root, which is almost unheard of. Moreover, I have the ability; through dual cultivation, I can evolve a dao companion's Dao Root and Dao Body."

Huan was taken aback. With his vast experience, he didn't know that evolving a Thunder Spirit Root could evolve a dao companion's Dao Root and Dao Body.

Lei Hen continued, "Because I have evolved from the Immortal Jade Dao Body into the Holy Jade Dao Body."

Upon hearing it was the Holy Jade Dao Body, Huan's eyes lit up.

Indeed, the Holy Jade Dao Body can help a dao companion evolve their Dao Root, and more than that, it can purify Dao Bone.

However, that is the most wasteful way to use the Holy Jade Dao Body.

For Huan, the Holy Jade Dao Body is an invaluable treasure.

Only an idiot would use the Holy Jade Dao Body to evolve Dao Bone and Dao Root.

After obtaining the Holy Jade Dao Body, he naturally intended to use it to fuse a brand new Great Dao Law, which is the Holy Jade Law.

If his universe had the Holy Jade Law, his physical form, Dao Bone, and Dao Root would be constantly elevated.

The Tao Universe would also become more solid due to the Holy Jade Law, and its level would rise further.

As for dual cultivation...

Heh, with Lei Hen's mediocre appearance, he was not worthy to dual cultivate with him?

In truth, Lei Hen wasn't ugly, even tending towards a refined look.

But in Huan's eyes, anything he didn't take to was ugly.

"Brother, I am willing to dual cultivate with you."

Originally dazed, Geng Yuan suddenly looked up, incredulous as he gazed at Lei Hen, "Y-you, what did you say just now?"

Lei Hen replied disdainfully, "I can only blame myself for being blind, thinking you were a Chaos Dao Body, cultivating the Chaos Dao Technique, expecting you'd be incredibly powerful.

Never thought you were just a silver-plated spearhead..."

"What did you say just now?"

Huan's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly.

Compared to the Holy Jade Dao Body and Mutated Thunder Spirit Root, the Chaos Dao Body and Chaos Dao Technique were what he valued more.

If the Tao World in his universe benefited from the resonance of a Chaos Dao Body, he could certainly elevate further, attracting a slew of useful resources to his world.

Moreover, he could refine a Chaos Law that belonged to his world using the Chaos Dao Body.

"He is a Chaos Dao Body, cultivating the Chaos Dao Technique," Lei Hen immediately repeated what he had just said.

Huan laughed manically, then nodded at Lei Hen, "You're not bad, I'm willing to take you under my wing."

"Thank you, brother." Lei Hen's voice carried an undertone of eagerness to survive.

Huan cast a disdainful glance at Lei Hen, amusing himself with such paltry theatrics in front of him.

"Lei Hen, you're using me? Was Brother Ding right?" Geng Yuan glared at Lei Hen.

Lei Hen said blandly, "You're not even worthy of being used by me. Having a Chaos Dao Body in your possession is truly a waste."

"Was Lei Chou killed by Brother Ding?" Even a fool could see that he'd been completely used.

Once a person realizes the truth, everything becomes laughable.

Lei Hen was at the Seventh Step of the Great Dao. How could Shi Wanrong have ambushed her?

And even if Lei Hen was ambushed by Shi Wanrong, it shouldn't have endangered the fetus.

Obviously, these were all lies Lei Hen had been telling him.

Not only did he unjustly blame Shi Wanrong, but he also deeply disappointed Brother Ding.

Lei Hen didn't even respond, standing directly by Huan's side.

Geng Yuan laughed self-deprecatingly, realizing his intelligence truly did not match the task of seeking revenge.

Looking at Lei Hen standing beside Huan, Geng Yuan suddenly said, "My friend, I am indeed a Chaos Dao Body, and I cultivate the Chaos Dao Technique.

As long as you kill Lei Hen, I am willing to give you my Chaos Dao Technique. As for my Chaos Dao Body, you can handle it however you see fit."

Lei Hen looked at Geng Yuan mockingly, thinking that such a clumsy attempt to sow discord would fail.

She was concerned about how to escape Huan's grasp and never considered that Geng Yuan could succeed in his provocation.

Just at that moment, a hand seal suddenly reached down from above her head.

The breath of death instantly filled her entire body, and she wanted to turn back to ask Huan why he was attacking her.

But that powerful vortex Dao Principle had already rushed into her Tao Sea of Consciousness. Not only that, but the vortex had also begun stripping away her Holy Jade Dao Body and mutated thunder attribute Dao Root.

Even if Lei Hen didn't understand much, she could still see that Huan was refining a new Dao Principle using her Holy Jade Dao Body.

Despair surged in her heart.

She had always treated those around her like this and never expected one day someone would do the same to her.

"Hahaha..." Geng Yuan laughed wildly, blood continuously spilling from the corners of his mouth.

No matter what, before dying, he managed to recover some dignity and avenge Brother Ding a little.

As for himself, he had to suffer the consequences of his blindness.

Huan's entire being was surrounded by the flow of the Taoist Rhythm, his eyes shining with excitement.

Extracting the Holy Jade Dao Body principle from Lei Hen while simultaneously refining the Holy Jade Dao Principle was the best; if delayed, the Holy Jade Principle would not be as pure.

As for the mutated thunder attribute Dao Root, strip it away first, and deal with it later.

Today was a massive haul, with the Chaos Dao Technique and Chaos Dao Body still awaiting him.

Indeed, the most dangerous places are also the ones with the greatest rewards, it just depends on whether you dare.

At this moment, Huan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as an extreme sense of danger surged forth.

Even knowing that abandoning the refinement of the Holy Jade Dao Body now would mean all his efforts would be in vain, Huan still didn't hesitate to dodge.

Yet, he was still a bit too late.

"Splurt!" A blood light exploded, and Huan saw a Green Sword pierce through the vortex at his brow.

In that instant, Huan's Great Dao crumbled madly. Struggling to turn his head, he saw Ding Huan calmly looking at him.

It's just an ambush, anyone can do it, can't they?

"Didn't you leave hastily?" Huan struggled to speak these words.

Ding Huan had left in a hurry, and although Huan couldn't understand what Ding Huan had transmitted to that red-haired man, he was sure it was a sound transmission.

Evidently, Ding Huan had instructed the red-haired cultivator with something before departing on urgent business.

Who could have thought that Ding Huan would return stealthily and stay hidden behind him?

If it weren't for his Heavenly Nirvana Vortex being restrained by Ding Huan's Green Sword, he would have already escaped using its Taoist Rhythm.

Ding Huan calmly said, "A bit later doesn't matter. You dared to come out; did you sense my transmission to Di He?"

If he didn't kill Huan, Ding Huan wouldn't be at ease.

When he left, he thought Huan would follow him, but he never expected Huan would stay back to guard against Lei Hen.

Not only did he not follow him, but he also didn't follow Di He.

Huan didn't have the mood to answer Ding Huan's questions anymore.

The Heavenly Nirvana Vortex spun frantically, trying to break free from the Green Sword's grip.

The Slaughter Dao Sword was a Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure, carrying Ding Huan's Great Universe Skill Tao Rhythm.

Even if the Heavenly Nirvana Vortex was a Chaos Treasure, it could only await its doom despite its high tier.

"Let me go; you can ask for any condition."

Huan was very decisive. Once he realized his Heavenly Nirvana Vortex could not escape Ding Huan's 'Slaughter Dao Sword,' his tone was straightforward and determined.

Ding Huan understood well; though Huan wasn't his match, if he hadn't ambushed him, he could never have caught Huan.

This guy was too slippery.

Especially with the Heavenly Nirvana Vortex being an outrageous Dao anomaly.

As long as he had a chance, he could escape.

"Brother Ding..." Lei Chou's voice was sorrowful, her Holy Jade Dao Body stripped away, half refined by Huan.

If Ding Huan focused on saving her now, she could still survive.

"The first person I want to kill is you. As for your disciples and followers, I've killed quite a few. But killing you directly is more satisfying."

While speaking, Ding Huan raised his hand, ripping open Huan's Tao World.

"Why?" Huan looked at Ding Huan in disbelief.

He seemed to be asking why Ding Huan had to kill him, and also why Ding Huan could so easily unravel his Tao World.

"You are the most disgusting cultivator I've ever seen, without exception. Because of scum like you, how many innocent planets turned to dust?

Of course, what annoys me more is that garbage cultivation technique of yours actually dares to call itself the Great Universe Technique?"

Ding Huan grew angrier as he spoke, kicking Huan in the chest, shattering his internal organs.

His hands did not stop, sweeping away countless treasures.

If he hadn't recently acquired an abundance of top-grade Dao Veins, Huan's wealth would have astounded him long ago.

What Ding Huan didn't expect was to find a heap of cultivators in Huan's world.

He had no idea where Huan had captured these cultivators, raising them in his own world.

Ding Huan didn't bother with details, simply scattering them outside.

(Goodnight, fellow Daoists!)
