Chapter 647: The Collapse of the Dark Law

"Ding Huan, quickly extract this divine vein." Wen Jiyue was highly agitated.

"No, we can't extract it yet." Ding Huan shook his head.

"Why?" Wen Jiyue, though higher in cultivation, truly lacked Ding Huan's mastery of array arts.

Ding Huan pointed to the pitch-black space behind him: "This entire dark space is caused by these two dark-element divine veins; there's a top-tier dark-space array here."

Though I cannot break this array, it's clearly been attacked—otherwise, the divine source wouldn't be exposed without any protective array.

If I remove these two dark-element divine veins, the dark laws of this space will collapse, and the dark space will vanish.

When the dark space disappears, the imprisoned ones' spiritual senses will partially recover; even if not fully restored, their vision will definitely return.

There are Divine Kings here—if we don't want to die, we can't extract the divine veins now.

"How did you obtain this jade slip?" Ding Huan asked immediately.

As for Divine Lords and Tian Shen cultivators, they're even further behind.

They didn't know the cause of the explosion, but they believed such an explosion couldn't possibly destroy a divine vein.

The seven entered for barely a dozen breaths when Mu Tian Divine King suddenly raised his hand and snatched something out.

Ding Huan silently marveled at Wen Jiyue's wealth while wondering what the Dao Xu Guild meant by this. Soon, he reached his own conclusion.

"Sister, when I extract the divine veins, I'll take you away—I don't want you to resist."

Even with Divine Mugwort, Ding Huan had no intention of entering.

"Divine King Mu Tian, an explosion just occurred here—it seems the dark laws only began collapsing afterward." The short Divine King spoke.

Because the protective array was damaged, the dark-element divine veins lay scattered here, and even the entrance to the inner array was exposed.

Mainly because although the dark-law array here was removed, other great arrays remain.

Ding Huan quickly stepped back several paces.

These arrays block spiritual senses and hinder rapid movement within this space.

Ding Huan also believed so.

Everyone's spiritual senses fell upon them; Ding Huan's spiritual sense likewise settled on those few individuals.

The second reason is that his spiritual sense can now scan a hundred zhang.

Ding Huan began arranging teleportation array patterns—he had to remove these three divine veins.

After a stick of incense passed, seeing no news from the first group, the two Divine Kings assigned seven more to enter.

The two Divine Kings rushed toward the spot where Ding Huan had extracted the divine veins; the others followed.

They stood at the entrance to the protective array that Ding Huan had prepared to enter but dared not enter.

Moreover, their spiritual sense range was rapidly expanding.

It's very likely that because the divine source was extracted and the dark-element space vanished, their spiritual senses and vision could partially recover.

This is definitely not an illusion—this place is extremely dangerous.

Another man had an average build but an ugly face: square jaw, sunken nose, large eyes that resembled copper bells.

The group cautiously entered the protective array's entrance.

His heart-dash could be described as instantaneous.

Otherwise, an arrow couldn't fly only three zhang; neither could sound or spiritual sense penetrate out.

Even though spiritual sense was still partially blocked, their vision could now clearly see farther.

The explosion erased all traces of the array patterns Ding Huan had previously laid.

There is Divine Mugwort here—more than one plant.

After consecutively using heart-dash hundreds of times, Ding Huan nearly collided with a pillar before finally stopping.

"You, and you… you few, go in first—I won't let you go unrewarded." Mu Tian Divine King casually pointed at several Divine Lords and Tian Shen cultivators behind him.

Ding Huan's expression soon turned grave.

Ding Huan had one more thing he hadn't said.

The short Divine King and the sunken-nose Divine King exchanged a glance, then nodded without speaking further.

Ding Huan retreated dozens of zhang, unleashed his spiritual sense, then activated the array patterns.

"Ding Huan, could it be that we must enter through here to obtain the Divine Mugwort?" Wen Jiyue pointed to the entrance of the protective array beside the two dark-element divine veins.

The Divine King examining the explosion traces was short, with slightly pointed ears—looking nothing like a human cultivator.

After arranging the teleportation array patterns, Ding Huan set up a destruction array with array patterns.

But their speed was slow—not because they didn't want to move faster, but because other divine arrays remained within.

Clearly, they too, like Ding Huan, sensed the protective array inside was unsafe.

The Dao Xu Guild copied this jade slip a hundred times and sold each for one million superior divine crystals—I bought one."

With Ding Huan's spiritual sense strength, using heart-dash hundreds of times in such a short span left him utterly exhausted.

Ding Huan and Wen Jiyue followed among the crowd, not standing out much.

She noticed that after Ding Huan dashed hundreds of times with her, they ended up just near the Mingguang Divine Array. Ding Huan was helpless—if this were open space, hundreds of heart-dashes would have carried them far beyond.

"Incredible." The sunken-nose Divine King exclaimed in shock.

This divine array restricted their speed.

That means someone extracted the divine vein.

"It was publicly sold by the Dao Xu Guild. They obtained an ancient jade slip stating this place contains fortune stones, Divine Mugwort, and mid-grade divine veins."

He hadn't noticed earlier, but now he carefully observed the jade slip—the dao resonance aura didn't seem ancient at all… What level of Divine Kings were these two? Ding Huan couldn't tell.

He was certain this place wasn't just the dark-element space array—it definitely had other defensive arrays.

"It's right here," Wen Jiyue said, puzzled.

The Dao Xu Guild's people, once entering here, could never send messages out again. Otherwise, they would have long since sent in cultivators who wielded the Dark Dao.

In the end, the Dao Xu Guild could only sell jade slips, earning money while hoping someone might unravel the mystery of this place.

Immediately, a spray of blood mist exploded in the void at the entrance of the protective array.

The two Divine Kings inside the Mingguang Divine Array might be from the Dao Xu Guild.

To refuse a Divine King's order here is to wait for death.

"Sister Jiyue, we can't go in here," Ding Huan said immediately.

He walked to the edge of the entrance and suddenly felt his heart tremble and his flesh quiver.

From the Dao rhythms emanating from their bodies, Ding Huan could sense they were extremely powerful.

Before the Divine Spirit Veins could settle, Ding Huan swept his hand, and the three Divine Spirit Veins vanished into his Five Elements World.

Because they were close to the Mingguang Divine Array, Wen Jiyue naturally noticed the direction from which the figures inside the array had rushed out; she looked at Ding Huan: "Should we go over?"

Ding Huan's divine sense fell again onto the jade slip Wen Jiyue had given him.

Ding Huan dared not sweep with his divine sense; he merely watched the two Divine Kings, waiting to see what they would do.

"Didn't you say there was Divine Mugwort Lotus here? I'll get the Divine Mugwort Lotus first, then extract the Divine Spirit Veins, and leave immediately."

Clearly, after he extracted the Dark-aspected Divine Spirit Vein, the darkness in this space would gradually dissipate.

They had just come from over there; if everyone now went over, but they didn't, that would be strange.

The next instant, Ding Huan grabbed Wen Jiyue and immediately activated Heart Escape.

The two Divine Kings rushed out of the Bright Divine Array at once, then turned toward the spot where Ding Huan had extracted the Divine Spirit Veins.

At the same moment, the spot where Ding Huan extracted the Divine Spirit Veins suffered a catastrophic explosion.

The teleportation array runes instantly drained away three Divine Spirit Veins.

It wasn't that he wanted to stop—he knew he couldn't continue escaping.

"Alright."

The moment the Divine King reached out to envelop the cultivator, the cultivator exploded into a pile of blood mist.

And here, he had merely returned to a spot not far from the Mingguang Divine Array.

Although his divine sense was still blocked, his vision could now see farther.

The Snub-Nosed Divine King had been watching the protective array's entrance; upon hearing this, he walked to the spot of the earlier explosion.

Not only did Wen Jiyue realize her divine sense could now scan outward, but her vision was no longer obstructed.

The Dao Xu Guild would never be so kind as to give this to someone else.

Only a cultivator as strong as they are could extract the Divine Spirit Veins here—and this cultivator must be familiar with the Dark Dao.

Since they dared not enter inside to get the Divine Mugwort Lotus, Ding Huan naturally wouldn't let these Divine Spirit Veins slip away.

The strong can eat meat; us lowly cultivators can at least drink some broth, right?

Those inside the Bright Divine Array also sensed it.

Both Divine Kings were startled by the blood mist and hastily retreated.

Moreover, Ding Huan wanted to know what would happen if a Divine King entered inside.

"Ding Huan, here…" Wen Jiyue realized—after Ding Huan extracted the Dark-aspected Divine Spirit Vein, her divine sense could now scan outward.

There was definitely a Dark Divine Spirit Source here, but it vanished with the explosion.

Since the Divine Kings said nothing, the World Gods naturally dared not speak up; they all stood behind the Divine Kings.

"Then how do we get out now?" Wen Jiyue didn't argue—Ding Huan's survival ability here was certainly far stronger than hers.

These few people entered and never sent another message.

Less than half a stick of incense later, everyone's vision could clearly see their surroundings.

Just now, Mu Tian Divine King had used a divine technique to try to pull out the last cultivator who had entered.

There was only one possibility: the Dao Xu Guild had sent people here, but all those sent vanished without a trace.

"Here…" the Snub-Nosed Divine King understood at once upon arriving.

A faint Dark-aspected fluctuation reached them; Ding Huan urgently told Wen Jiyue: "Leave quickly."

Ding Huan nodded: "We must go over."

The Divine Mugwort Lotus is important, but my life is more important.

The few named individuals turned pale; they dared not refuse.

Yet in that hurried moment, Ding Huan sensed the aura of the Divine Mugwort Lotus.

At this moment, both Divine Kings had stopped.

Saying this, Ding Huan turned and fled wildly.

If not for the Divine Kings here, he would have already used Heart Escape.

Wen Jiyue followed Ding Huan without the slightest hesitation.

Some cultivators standing beside Ding Huan and Wen Jiyue, seeing them flee, also began fleeing.
