605. Chapter 600: The Fall of the Heavenly God Palace

Wu Hanchan coldly regarded Chong Chong Shenjin, whose arm had just been reattached: "Was it your Heavenly God Palace that destroyed the Divine Sword Villa?"

Chong Chong Shenjin's back grew icy, beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He had never imagined anyone besides the First Star Lord Song Chengdao could match Wu Hanchan's strength.

Even in the recent battle, Wu Hanchan had been slightly at a disadvantage.

When Wu Hanchan arrived, his inner joy had been indescribable.

Yet he never expected the situation to turn so abruptly.

Even the Second Star Lord Wu Hanchan, who had always done as he pleased, now began to reason.

As soon as Wu Hanchan started questioning the reason, a deep sense of despair welled up in Chong Chong Shenjin: the Heavenly God Palace was finished.

"Your Star Lord, my son acted improperly—he became infatuated with a disciple of the Divine Sword Villa, and that disciple spoke disrespectfully, showing contempt for the Heavenly God Palace…"

Before Chong Chong Shenjin could finish, Wu Hanchan cut him off coldly: "So you destroyed their entire villa?"

Wu Hanchan felt no need to hear the rest—he already understood.

It was simply that the Heavenly God Palace had grown arrogant; their young master desired a woman, and she dared not rush into the Heavenly God Palace?

Seeing his father might be useless, Chong Dongzi stepped forward immediately and bowed deeply:

"Star Lord Chan, I treated them with proper courtesy—I did nothing wrong. My Chaos Star Continent does not forbid gentlemen to admire…"

Again, before Chong Dongzi could finish, Wu Hanchan slapped him across the face.

This revealed just how self-centered Wu Hanchan was.

He would not even listen to a complete explanation from a weaker man; once he believed he understood the logic, he acted according to his own will.

Chong Dongzi had no chance to block Wu Hanchan's slap.

He was blasted backward—Ding Huan's immortal energy palm seal snatched him mid-air.

Instantly, five array flags were thrown out; the next moment, Chong Dongzi was pinned to the void by Ding Huan's five flags.

The entire process made it seem as if Wu Hanchan and Ding Huan had joined forces to pin Chong Dongzi to the void.

Wu Hanchan did not move during Ding Huan's action, but his eyes narrowed as he witnessed Ding Huan's technique.

Even he could not accomplish this.

Ding Huan had clearly set up a void array pattern in an instant, then used it to pin Chong Dongzi to the void.

Chong Dongzi's piercing scream echoed: "Father, save me…"

Blood continuously dripped from his forehead, pierced by Ding Huan's array flags.

Chong Chong Shenjin dared not move—not only was his son Chong Dongzi doomed, but even his own life, and whether the entire Heavenly God Palace survived today, was uncertain.

"You are not a cultivator from my Chaos Star Continent, are you?" Wu Hanchan's tone softened further; Ding Huan's void array technique had startled him.

Ding Huan ignored Wu Hanchan.

He was still spreading poison.

Zhuo Yao hurried forward and bowed: "Zhuo Yao of the Divine Sword Villa greets Star Lord Chan. My brother Ding Huan is indeed not a cultivator from the Chaos Star Continent."

Ding Huan did not know Wu Hanchan's temperament, but Zhuo Yao knew it clearly.

With Ding Huan's indifference, another great battle would come soon.

He saw that Ding Huan's strength was no weaker than Wu Hanchan's.

But this was the Chaos Star Continent—if another battle erupted and drew in more powerful figures, Ding Huan would be isolated.

He and Yan Qi could at most hold off two opponents.

The Divine Sword Villa was decent, but compared to the many powerful immortal sects of the Chaos Star Continent, it was utterly insignificant.

Moreover, by the time it reached him, its decline was undeniable.

To Zhuo Yao's surprise, Wu Hanchan did not fly into a rage—he remained calm and said:

"Ding Daoist, if the Divine Sword Villa was indeed destroyed by the Heavenly God Palace, this matter must be investigated within the Chaos Star Continent's immortal sects.

But this matter is confined solely to the Divine Sword Villa and the Heavenly God Palace of the Chaos Star Continent. If outsiders interfere, it amounts to provoking the Chaos Star Continent."

Ding Huan's long blade gathered momentum once more, and the suspended evening drum began to hum.

Wu Hanchan watched the evening drum and Ding Huan's blade with caution.

He had always been the one who ignored reason and struck first—today he had met someone even more arrogant than himself.

Did he think Wu Hanchan was truly afraid?

"Star Lord Wu, if I understand you correctly, if it doesn't concern me, then my actions are unjust?" Ding Huan spoke, his killing intent undiminished.

Wu Hanchan gripped the Murdering God Sword tightly, gathering sword qi.

"Of course. The Chaos Star Continent has its Immortal Sect Court—such matters are under its jurisdiction. If you interfere, you are declaring war on the Immortal Sect Court."

Wu Hanchan's tone had lost its earlier softness.

He anticipated the coming battle was unavoidable—he had seen Ding Huan's dominance.

Ding Huan laughed aloud, yet not a trace of amusement touched his eyes:

"Wu Hanchan, Chong Dongzi of the Heavenly God Palace demanded the Divine Sword Villa hand over a disciple—she is my consort.

So if the Heavenly God Palace demanded you, Wu Hanchan, surrender your own consort, would you comply—or is that not your concern?"

Wu Hanchan's eyes blazed with terrifying killing intent.

Ding Huan showed no fear.

Moreover, Ding Huan raised his hand and hurled a cluster of law flame.

The next instant, the law flame engulfed Chong Dongzi, still pinned in the void—his agonized screams pierced the air.

Chong Chong Shenjin watched from afar, eyes bulging with rage, yet dared not move to save him.

To Ding Huan's surprise, despite Wu Hanchan's fierce gathering of sword qi and killing intent, he still did not strike.

Not only did he not make a move, he instead took a single step and landed on the outer perimeter.

Clearly, he had no intention of continuing to manage the affairs of the Heavenly God Palace.

"Brother Zhuo, Sister Yan, go and avenge the Divine Sword Shanzhuang — they won't dare to act." Ding Huan said a word to Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi beside him.

His blade momentum was still gathering; the moment Wu Hanchan dared to make a move, he would send a slash over.

Although Zhuo Yao knew he was no match for those few powerhouses of the Heavenly God Palace, he still rolled up a curtain of swords and blasted it toward the many cultivators of the Heavenly God Palace.

Ding Huan activated Bone-Burrowing Dao-Devouring.

He was certain that even Chong Chong Shenjin had no ability to strike back now.

Zhuo Yao's curtain of swords swept out, and bursts of blood mist exploded one after another in the void.

Chong Chong Shenjin wanted to strike, but the moment his giant axe was just offered up, his immortal essence seemed to be sliced clean through from the middle, with no follow-up force at all.

As expected, it was a deadly poison.

Chong Chong Shenjin's face went pale; before he could even ignite his essence blood, Yan Qi's sword qi had already torn open his brow.

At this moment, Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi completely understood why Ding Huan had told them to make the move.

Because all of these people had been eroded by the Dao Laws of Poison — not to mention them making a move, even if Zhuo Wushang were to act, he could kill them.

Yan Qi said inwardly, no wonder Baihe cultivated the Dao of Ten Thousand Poisons.

So it was inherited from Brother Ding Huan.

She had no idea that Ding Huan's use of poison actually began with Jia Baihe, and from Jia Baihe he had even learned many methods of using poison.

Watching from afar as Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi slaughtered the cultivators of the Heavenly God Palace, the wariness in Wu Hanchan's heart deepened.

He had only just now seen it — every single person in the Heavenly God Palace had been poisoned by Ding Huan.

And the Dao rhyme of this poison Dao seemed extremely powerful, belonging to a kind of Poison Dao Law.

If he continued to forcefully make a move, he too could very likely be eroded by this Poison Dao Law.

This man's Great Dao divine abilities were not only formidable, even his side-path divine abilities were this terrifying.

If they thoroughly offended this person, the Immortal Gate Dao Court would probably never know peace.

He could tell that Ding Huan truly did not fear him, and was not wary of him.

At this moment Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi were killing with bloodshot eyes — back then their Divine Sword Shanzhuang had been destroyed in exactly this way, and they could only watch helplessly as countless innocent disciples of the Divine Sword Shanzhuang were slaughtered by the Heavenly God Palace.

Today he could finally reclaim some justice for those innocent disciples of the Divine Sword Shanzhuang.

When several hundred powerhouses of the Heavenly God Palace had been slaughtered clean, and they saw those Heavenly God Palace disciples whose cultivation was low and who didn't even have the slightest ability to resist.

Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi finally calmed down from their hatred.

They did not continue to make a move, but instead swept up the rings on the ground, and silently returned to Ding Huan's side.

Ding Huan raised his hand and tossed out a stream of flame, and immediately several strands of Flame Law were layered into these flames.

In a short time, the entire Heavenly God Palace was wrapped in flames.

Wu Hanchan's gaze twitched — this Ding Huan was truly ruthless and heartless.

How was this merely destroying the Heavenly God Palace? This was cutting the weeds and digging out the roots.

Ding Huan naturally had to cut the weeds and dig out the roots; otherwise, even if he could walk away, what would happen when the Divine Sword Shanzhuang was rebuilt?

Over a hundred top-grade immortal spirit veins were drawn out of the Heavenly God Palace by Ding Huan.

As for those high-grade immortal spirit veins, Ding Huan couldn't even be bothered to draw them out — there were simply too many of them.

"Manor Lord Zhuo, write up the matter of the Heavenly God Palace destroying your Divine Sword Shanzhuang, send it to the Immortal Gate Dao Court, and then rebuild the Divine Sword Shanzhuang." Wu Hanchan looked toward Zhuo Yao.

Zhuo Yao stepped forward and saluted: "Yes, Zhuo Yao understands."

Ding Huan did not stop him.

Zhuo Yao was certainly going to rebuild the Divine Sword Shanzhuang; as long as the Divine Sword Shanzhuang remained in the Chaotic Star Land, Zhuo Yao had to abide by the rules.

This kind of matter was not appropriate for him to intervene in.

Wu Hanchan's gaze swept over Ding Huan; after a moment's hesitation, he still turned and left, vanishing in an instant.

"Brother Yao, will Star Lord Chan take revenge on Ding Huan?" Yan Qi had indeed seen that glance from Wu Hanchan as he left.

Zhuo Yao shook his head: "No, he already knows Brother Ding Huan is not one of us — he can't bully him."

"Brother Ding Huan, I didn't expect you to be this strong." Zhuo Yao looked at the flames still burning the Heavenly God Palace, and came before Ding Huan with lingering fear.

Yan Qi also sighed and said: "No wonder Brother Ding Huan doesn't fear the Heavenly God Palace — with this strength, even if the First Star Lord came, he'd have to be polite."

Ding Huan shook his head, not feeling much joy.

"Brother Zhuo, Sister Yan, take me to the Divine Sword Shanzhuang." Ding Huan put away his long blade and Evening Drum, and offered up the Universe Pot.

Although he had said he would chop off a few heads and bring them over, the entire Heavenly God Palace had been destroyed by him — whether or not to chop off heads was no longer important.

Thinking of Jia Baihe, Yan Qi's eyes dimmed once more.

The two of them, husband and wife, had not misjudged — the person Baihe had taken a fancy to was indeed a dragon among men, a phoenix among women.

But poor Baihe could not be with them.

The whims of fate — if not for Baihe's self-sacrifice and the destruction of the Divine Sword Shanzhuang, they would not have fled their homeland and escaped the Chaotic Star Land.

As long as they had not left the Chaotic Star Land, they could not have met Brother Ding Huan.

If they had not met Ding Huan, Baihe naturally could not have met Ding Huan either.

The affairs of the world are just this unsatisfactory.
