Ding Huan implanted as many as ten top-grade Divine Spirit Veins at the base of the Great Star Peak, along with one top-grade Star Sky Divine Spirit Vein.

Only then did he summon the Void Flames.

First, let the Void Flames advance, and then study the Stone Scroll.

The Void is currently the pinnacle of ninth-level Divine Flames. In theory, the Fire Origin Crystal should still allow the Void to continue advancing.

However, the Fire Origin Crystal Ding Huan obtained was too impure. After the Void advanced with the help of the Fire Origin Crystal to the ninth-level Divine Flame, it was nearly at its limit.

As soon as the Fire Origin Pearl was brought out, the Void Flames erupted into a massive flame flower, and Ding Huan could clearly feel its excitement.

With a flick of his hand, the Void Flames swept away the Fire Origin Pearl, and the aura of the Void Flames surged wildly.

The Divine Spirit Qi also transformed into streams of energy, rushing toward the Void Flames.

Sensing the advancement of the Void Flames, Ding Huan paid no heed.

He took out the Stone Scroll, constructing the Great Universe Technique Circulation, and began studying the second Concealing Restriction on the Jade Scroll.

Facing the complex Forbidden Patterns, Ding Huan had no idea where to begin.

He carefully studied the Forbidden Patterns on the periphery of the Concealing Restriction, and the layered complex Array Patterns quickly drew Ding Huan in.

Initially, Ding Huan was immersed in this new Law Comprehension, continually sensing new Space Laws and Array Pattern Laws.

But soon, a sense of unease arose from the depths of Ding Huan's heart; he felt he shouldn't be trapped in these Forbidden Patterns, yet he couldn't extricate himself from them.

He seemed to be in a nightmare, unable to awaken himself.

The Great Universe Technique still operated, and Ding Huan subconsciously held onto a strand of awareness within his Spirit Platform, struggling to break free with sheer will, trying to exit the complex Forbidden Patterns.

It was unclear how much time passed, but just as Ding Huan felt his consciousness was about to annihilate, a clear voice rang in his ears:

"Mr. Huan, I have become the Saint Flame..."

"Void, use your fire to burn me..."

Ding Huan, like a drowning man clutching at a piece of wood, desperately sent forth his will.

The Void Flames, which were his, could sense his request.

The Void was initially startled, but it soon realized something was wrong with Mr. Huan.

Threads of fire pierced into Ding Huan's Purple Mansion.

The intense pain snapped Ding Huan awake, his thoughts breaking free from the complex Forbidden Patterns.

A purple flame floated in front of Ding Huan.

"Void, have you birthed a Fire Spirit?" Ding Huan was ecstatic.

If not for the Void, he would likely have been trapped in those Stone Scroll Forbidden Patterns, never to awaken again.

"Yes, Mr. Huan, are you alright?" Void asked with some hesitation.

"I'm fine."

Hearing Ding Huan was fine, Void's voice brightened, even carrying a newfound confidence:

"Mr. Huan, bring out that Void Nirvana Gold and watch me handle it."

"Thank you, Void..."

Ding Huan muttered in lingering fear.

Fortunately, he let the Void Flames advance before studying the Stone Scroll, otherwise, what chance would he have had?

Void apparently wasn't aware that Ding Huan nearly lost his life to this Stone Scroll: "Mr. Huan, this is no big deal."

Ding Huan exhaled deeply, pointing at the Stone Scroll in his hand and said, "Burn this thing up for me."

No matter what this Stone Scroll was, Ding Huan had no intentions of keeping it.

It nearly cost him his life; keeping it would be a great hazard.

Void, now brimming with confidence, followed Ding Huan's words and the fiery tongue directly engulfed the Stone Scroll.

Very soon, Ding Huan realized he had overestimated Void.

Void couldn't even burn the restriction on this Stone Scroll.

Void felt embarrassed, its flames soared to a new level.

Yet nothing changed; the Void Flames still couldn't burn a single restriction.

Ding Huan's eyes widened.

Void should be a Saint Flame, and cultivating to a Saint makes it the pinnacle existence in this universe.

Not to mention a restriction, even a true Saint here should be burnable by Void.

Void advanced to a Saint Flame using the Fire Origin Pearl, there's no such thing as a pseudo Saint Flame here.

If so, why couldn't Void burn a single restriction? Could there be an existence stronger than a Saint in the vast universe?

"Mr. Huan, I can't seem to burn this restriction." Void's timid voice came forth, realizing it had boasted too much.

Ding Huan reached out, caught a handful of Fire Origin Crystals, and tossed them into the Void Flames: "Try again, if it really doesn't work, we'll talk then."

With the help of these Fire Origin Pearls, the Void Flames ascended once more.

Yet the Forbidden Patterns on the Stone Scroll remained unmoved.

Ding Huan continued constructing the Great Universe Technique Circulation, adding the Divine Thought Domain atop the Void Flames.

He knew relying solely on Void was not enough to tackle the Stone Scroll restriction and could only strip it away through the Void Flames piece by piece.

Fearing a repeat of the last incident, where his mind was drawn into the Stone Scroll's restrictions, Ding Huan simply kept increasing the domain to aid Void.

"Crack!" A faint sound echoed.

Ding Huan saw clearly, the Concealing Restriction on the Stone Scroll wasn't burnt in the slightest, it was the Stone Scroll that was damaged...

Before Ding Huan could breathe a sigh of relief, a hidden aura rushed into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

Possession?

Ding Huan chuckled with anger; he admitted the Stone Scroll's restriction was strong, so strong that he couldn't even touch its edges.

But no matter how strong, attempting to possess Ding Huan was simply a dream.

Ding Huan didn't even bother with the presence in his Sea of Consciousness, frantically initiating the Locking God Array Patterns while instructing Void:

"Void, lock down the entire space of my cave mansion, and make sure nothing escapes."

After doing this, only then did Ding Huan focus his Divine Will on his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe.

Now his Tao Universe has merged with his own world, it has become substantial.

The divine soul that rushed into his Sea of Consciousness is still scrambling around in his Sea of Consciousness Dao Star Sky.

The residual soul saw the Sea of Consciousness starry sky, saw the Milky Way beneath the starry sky, saw the Star Bridge and even the vast and boundless Star Nebula, but did not see the Primordial Spirit.

How is this possible?

The strand of residual soul was somewhat dazed.

A mere Divine King, yet without a Primordial Spirit?

This is impossible.

Without a Primordial Spirit, how can one perform possession? Devour will?

"Are you looking for my Primordial Spirit?" Ding Huan's Divine Will descended on this residual soul, while strands of Space Law bound this residual soul.

Even if this residual soul was stronger, this was his domain.

"Why don't you have a Primordial Spirit?" The residual soul still couldn't believe it. Suddenly, he remembered something terrifying, could this person in front of him be a Tian Meng being?

It is said that a few Tian Meng beings do not have Primordial Spirits.

But this doesn't make sense either, in this piece of Tao Space, he could feel billions of Laws, each different, yet vast and boundless.

The Tian Meng beings do not have such brains.

"Now it's my turn to ask you, and not you to ask me. If you dare keep blabbering, I'll let the flames burn you."

As Ding Huan spoke, a mass of Law Flame enveloped this residual soul.

Even though Ding Huan did not trigger this flame, the residual soul clearly knew that this was Ding Huan's domain; not being able to find the opponent's Primordial Spirit, the opponent could easily burn him.

"Killing me has no meaning. I actually didn't want to possess you, it's just that you burned my dwelling place, so I had no choice but to possess." The voice of the residual soul came, almost like it came from ancient times.

This is indeed true.

Ding Huan knew well that he was the one who first destroyed the other's dwelling Stone Scroll. If this residual soul had wanted to possess, it would have done so immediately instead of waiting for the Stone Scroll's shattering to do it.

"You are quite arrogant indeed, actually looking down on possessing me."

Ding Huan realized that initially, this residual soul indeed looked down upon possessing him, probably dismissing his flesh body.

The residual soul did not reply.

Initially, he did indeed disdain Ding Huan's flesh body, not just Ding Huan's, but also any human's flesh body he looked down upon.

In this corner of the universe with broken Laws, his Great Dao, to the people here, was of astounding height, how could he regard the flesh bodies of ants here?

He intended to repair his own body and then cultivate back up again.

"Speak, what's your name?" Ding Huan asked indifferently.

"I can answer all your questions, but you need to promise me one thing, let me go." The residual soul's tone was calm, seemingly negotiating with Ding Huan.

Ding Huan, without hesitation, drove the Law Flame to surge forward; how dare he negotiate with him.

Terrifying flames swept over this residual soul, even if this residual soul's level was again strong, under this Law Flame, it emitted shrill screams.

After all, this was Ding Huan's domain.

He was quite angry, encountering such a fool.

If he had known, a word of his would hold immeasurable value to the other's Great Dao, yet the other didn't know at all, he estimated even if he had explained, the other wouldn't understand.

"Stop, stop... I am willing to answer all your questions." The residual soul probably also understood what kind of existence Ding Huan was; this was basically an unthreatened guy.

"If you had done so earlier, wouldn't it have been alright? Why go through all this trouble, now tell me, what's your name." Ding Huan sneered sarcastically.

"My name is Xing Ga."

"Where do you come from?"

"From the Moru World."

"Where is Moru World?"

"It is a world in the Great Universe."

"And where is the Great Universe?"

"The Great Universe should have already faced Annihilation…"

Ding Huan frowned. Whether it was the Moru World or the Great Universe, he had never heard of them.

"Are you saying this Annihilation is a Calamity?" Ding Huan asked.

Xing Ga slowly said: "I think it could also be considered a Calamity?"

"What do you mean by 'could also be considered a Calamity'? Speak clearly." Ding Huan's tone became severe.

If he hadn't known that he couldn't Soul Search this residual soul, he might have directly performed a Soul Search.

Pondering over this guy's Forbidden Pattern earlier, he almost lost himself.

So towards him, Ding Huan truly had little patience.

This time Xing Ga was silent for even longer, Ding Huan was getting a bit impatient waiting, finally, Xing Ga opened his mouth:

"At first, I thought it was caused by someone named Huan, later it didn't seem quite right, for he also seemed to be in that Calamity. Of course, this is just my guess…"

"Why did you think it was caused by Huan?" Ding Huan asked.

"Because Huan cultivates the Great Universe Technique…"

"Wait, you said Huan cultivates the Great Universe Technique?"

Ding Huan was astounded, interrupting Xing Ga.

He himself cultivated the Great Universe Technique, but his Great Universe Technique was something he deduced and explored step by step on his own.

From theory to a simple framework and then slowly perfecting it…

As his cultivation became higher, his Great Universe Technique also became more perfected.

He had thought before, could it be that the Great Universe Technique already existed, now hearing Xing Ga, this Great Universe Technique really did exist.

"Yes, it is the Great Universe Technique." Xing Ga answered.

"Continue."

"Because every time Huan advances, he needs a vast amount of Cosmic Planet vitality and Boundary fortune to aid him, which would cause countless planets to disintegrate and shatter…"

"This bastard!" Ding Huan cursed out loudly.

(Good night, fellow cultivator!)
