610. Chapter 605: The Commander Is a Divine Clan Cultivator

Sitting at the head command seat was a man with bark-like skin, his aura swirling, his immortal energy formidable.

But unlike Song Chengdao and Wu Hanchan, this fellow was merely at the Immortal Emperor realm, having not advanced to the False Divine Nurturing stage.

"Who are you? How dare you kill my Chaos Star Continent's cultivator soldiers in our military camp?" The man in the command seat stared coldly at Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's gaze shifted from the bark-skinned man to the veiled woman beside him—every poison in this hall had been released by her.

And even now, she was frantically releasing the Dao rhythm of poison.

"And who are you?" Ding Huan paid no attention to the bark-skinned man.

The bark-skinned man sneered: "I am Qi Qianjun, Commander of the Chaos Star Continent's Cultivator Army."

Ding Huan said calmly: "According to my knowledge, although the Chaos Star Continent's cultivator army is not under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Gate Dao Court, the Star Lord of Chaos Star Continent still leads during military council meetings.

Yet you, as Commander, have taken the main seat.

Do you not understand this principle—or do you believe you can control the entire Chaos Star Continent?"

Qi Qianjun immediately frowned, glancing at the veiled woman beside him, his eyes questioning.

Ding Huan knew what he was asking.

Anyone who inhales the poison's Dao rhythm in this hall should have lost the ability to speak—yet here he was, speaking perfectly fine.

Seeing the veiled woman give no reply, Qi Qianjun roared:

"How we conduct ourselves in our military is none of your business, you unknown outsider! Seize this madman!"

"You'd better not move," Ding Huan said, his gaze fixed on the cultivator soldiers on both sides, who were stirring restlessly.

Seeing they were held in check, he spoke calmly:

"I suspect this place has been infiltrated by Divine Clan spies. If you are not Divine Clan cultivators, do not move—otherwise, your death will be your own fault."

Ding Huan was not exaggerating.

He had killed not one or two Divine Clan cultivators, but entire clans here and there.

He had long studied the Divine Clan's gene laws and understood them inside and out.

The moment he entered this hall, he sensed Qi Qianjun's Divine Clan origins.

It was truly absurd: the commander of the Chaos Star Continent's human cultivator army, meant to resist the Divine Star, was himself a Divine Clan cultivator.

If such a thing could win, it would be a miracle.

The fact that the Chaos Star Continent still remains in human hands is already extraordinary.

These discoveries led Ding Huan, upon entering this hall, to deploy not only the Bone-Clinging Devouring Dao poison, but also the Divine Clan Gene Annihilation Law.

Anyone whose Dao cultivation was lower than his would, under this Divine Clan Gene Annihilation Law, have no choice but to wait for death.

The higher the celestial rules of a place, the more restricted the Gene Annihilation Law becomes.

If Ding Huan had deployed the Gene Annihilation Law in the Divine Realm, it would have been quickly assimilated or weakened by the Divine Realm's celestial Dao rules.

Such a Gene Annihilation Law could not survive long before vanishing.

This place is the Void Plaza—deploying the Gene Annihilation Law here would affect nearly the entire Void Plaza.

Not even speaking of the Void Plaza—even within the Divine Star itself.

If Ding Huan deployed the Gene Annihilation Law, he could exterminate every single Divine Clan cultivator on the Divine Star.

Ding Huan's cultivation has already reached the peak of this realm.

The celestial rules of this realm do not surpass the boundaries of Ding Huan's cultivation.

One day, if Ding Huan's cultivation reaches the peak in the Divine Realm, he could still use the Divine Clan Gene Annihilation Law to kill every Divine Clan cultivator there.

This is the terrifying power of the fusion between the Great Cosmic Art and the Gene Dao.

Compared to any Great Destruction Art among the Three Thousand Daos, the Gene Annihilation Law is true total annihilation.

If Ding Huan could perfect this Gene Annihilation Law into a celestial annihilation rule,

then any race whose genes were contained within this annihilation rule would have not a single chance of survival under this heaven and earth.

"Attack!" Seeing the cultivator soldiers truly cowed by Ding Huan, Qi Qianjun flew into a rage.

Hundreds of cultivator soldiers surged out from both sides of the hall.

This sight enraged Qi Qianjun further—because less than a third of them had risen.

Clearly, Ding Huan's threat had taken effect.

Yet these soldiers had taken only a few steps before collapsing to the ground, blood gushing from all seven orifices, dead.

Ding Huan walked toward Qi Qianjun's seat.

Qi Qianjun suddenly stood up.

The moment he rose, he felt a wave of withering sweep through his body.

It was as if his vitality was vanishing, his life nearing its end.

This…

Fear flashed in Qi Qianjun's eyes—he had heard the Divine Realm's Divine Clan had obtained a branch of the Great Destiny Art and were researching how to use this divine technique to rapidly annihilate humanity.

Why did his current condition resemble being struck by such a technique?

His immortal energy was vanishing wildly, his spiritual sense collapsing, his meridians were cracking inch by inch…

"No…" Qi Qianjun cried out in terror.

He had been poisoned—absolutely poisoned.

Ding Huan had reached his side.

He was at least a late-stage Immortal Emperor, yet before Ding Huan, he had no resistance whatsoever—he was seized by Ding Huan's immortal energy palm imprint and thrown into the center of the hall.

"You…" The veiled woman beside Qi Qianjun leapt to her feet in terror.

She had been continuously releasing poison, and had been targeting Ding Huan all along.

Now Ding Huan stood before her, and she realized he showed no signs of poisoning—on the contrary, it seemed she herself had been poisoned.

Ding Huan flipped his hand, a streak of immortal qi swept out and knocked the woman's veil flying.

The woman was flung upward and crashed down in the center of the hall, pinning Qi Qianjun beneath her.

But by the time she fell, she was already a corpse.

The poison Dao's resonance turned against her; in an instant, her entire body turned pitch black.

"Star Lord Song, come sit here and ask for the full details." Ding Huan looked toward Song Chengdao.

Song Chengdao still held status here; only he could speak to reorganize the cultivator army.

Song Chengdao's eyes showed gratitude: "I was poisoned..."

Song Chengdao startled to his feet—he had been poisoned and unable to speak, hadn't he?

Now he could not only speak, but the poison within him seemed to be dissipating.

"Thank you, Brother Ding Huan. What fortune I, Song Chengdao, have had to meet you!" Song Chengdao's voice trembled with emotion.

His admiration for Ding Huan was almost beyond expression.

With his and Wu Hanchan's strength, they had been poisoned the moment they entered this Star Land council hall.

Yet Ding Huan remained unharmed.

That was the difference.

No wonder Brother Ding Huan looked down on him and Wu Hanchan—how could anyone possibly respect such a display?

Fortunately, the moment he heard Wu Hanchan's words, he immediately sought to cooperate with Ding Huan.

Had he chosen to act against him, Song Chengdao would never have lived to see this moment.

Song Chengdao sat in Qi Qianjun's seat: "Qi Qianjun, you are a divine race cultivator—why did you become the Commander of our Chaos Star Land? Where is Peng Tongsi? Where is Qiu Lun, the Supreme Commander?"

Qi Qianjun did not answer Song Chengdao's question; he appeared unwilling to answer at all.

Ding Huan extended his hand, and the ring in Qi Qianjun's grasp fell into his own.

When Ding Huan broke the ring's seals and drew out dozens of listless cultivators,

"Qiu Lun, Supreme Commander? Yan Yuan, Commander? Yu Jinghe..."

Wu Hanchan's poison had also been lifted by Ding Huan; he now cried out in shock.

The cultivators Ding Huan had extracted were all Supreme Commanders or Commanders of the Chaos Star Land cultivator army—plus one Domain Lord.

"Star Lord..."

After the initial chaos and confusion, these men gradually regained their senses one by one.

"Qiu Lun, explain what happened." Song Chengdao's face was icy.

Qiu Lun was born of Kunlun Gate, later entered the Immortal Gate Dao Court as a Domain Lord, then left the Dao Court to become Supreme Commander of the cultivator army.

Though the Chaos Star Land cultivator army was not directly governed by the Immortal Gate Dao Court, its Supreme Commander being a former Domain Lord of the Dao Court naturally tied him to it.

This was one reason Song Chengdao had been confident he could sway the cultivator army.

Qiu Lun stared at Qi Qianjun lying on the ground, fully awakened:

"Star Lord, I am incompetent—I believed the sect master of Ten Thousand River Sword Dao, Gu Ko. Gu Ko brought back the dying Supreme Commander's appointment, naming Qi Qianjun as temporary Commander of the cultivator army.

We originally planned to ambush the divine race on Feiyang Star—but Gu Ko betrayed us; the divine race launched a surprise attack on Feiyang Star. Over a hundred thousand cultivators of Chaos Star Land were sealed, and I and Ni, the Supreme Commander, were captured alive.

Qi Qianjun negotiated peace with the divine race, offering to surrender Feiyang Star in exchange for the release of all captured cultivators..."

Qiu Lun's words made everyone understand.

Feiyang Star had already fallen into the hands of the divine race through surprise attack.

Now, by surrendering Feiyang Star to the divine race in exchange for over a hundred thousand cultivators, Qi Qianjun's prestige soared.

Thus, the temporary Commander became the true Commander.

After becoming Commander, Qi Qianjun continuously fought battles with the divine race to weaken the Chaos Star Land cultivator army.

Worse still, he secretly captured numerous true Supreme Commanders of the army.

Some in the army discovered the problem and sent secret letters to the Immortal Gate Dao Court.

The Immortal Gate Dao Court, accustomed to arrogance, believed sending two Domain Lords would solve the issue.

But four Domain Lords in succession were captured; three were killed, and Yu Jinghe was spared to infiltrate Jiuxu Immortal Peak later.

According to Qi Qianjun's plan, the Chaos Star Land cultivator army would soon be annihilated, allowing the divine race to enter Chaos Star Land and turn it into their private garden.

Had it not been for Ding Huan, both Star Lords would have been meat buns thrown to dogs—arrived, never left.

Song Chengdao's face turned ashen.

This was bitterly ironic.

Chaos Star Land and the divine race were mortal enemies—yet now, the Commander, Supreme Commanders, and even portions of Chaos Star Land's cultivator army were all divine race agents.

"Star Lord Wu." Song Chengdao's voice carried murderous intent.

Wu Hanchan immediately stepped forward.

"You and Zhuo Zhuo Niangzi shall immediately go to Ten Thousand River Sword Dao, bring back its sect master Gu Ko, and erase Ten Thousand River Sword Dao from Chaos Star Land."
