Chapter 670

Ding Huan thought of it, and Mo Changcan naturally thought of it too: "Ding Huan, why did the Divine Clan set up a protective array here to block human cultivators from entering their territory through the Great Star Wasteland Range?"

Yet the human race didn't set up any protective array here to block the Divine Clan—instead, they merely relied on the protective arrays of the major neighboring sects to hold back the Divine Clan?"

Ding Huan also couldn't figure out this question.

But this didn't affect the speed at which he planted his array flags.

His protective array was different from those others set up.

The divine array he intended to plant needed not only to block all beast tide attacks on Liyin Divine Valley.

In addition, he would incorporate a strangulation formation into this protective array.

For this great array, he straightforwardly implanted the remaining mid-grade divine spirit vein he hadn't used before.

The core component of this great array was the Gene Annihilation Law and the Poison Dao Law.

Ding Huan wouldn't simply annihilate these attacking beast tides through mere strangulation.

The Divine Clan's Gene Annihilation Law—Ding Huan could set it up with a mere wave of his hand.

As for the genes of those demonic insects, divine beasts, and others—

Any that had attacked Liyin Divine Valley within the past year, Ding Huan had already incorporated into the Gene Annihilation Law array.

Because Ding Huan's great array had to lock down every point of contact with the Great Star Wasteland Range, it couldn't be completed in just a day or two.

During this time, beast tides came several times.

The first few times, the beast tides were effortlessly annihilated by Ding Huan's array, and Mo Changcan paid no mind.

But when he noticed that all demonic beasts entering the array's range didn't die from the strangulation formation, but rather dropped dead instantly, he froze.

What technique is this?

Poison?

Mo Changcan had seen countless poisons, yet he had never seen such a poison before.

"Ding Huan, is your array killing these demonic beasts through Poison Dao?"

"There is Poison Dao Law involved, but what you see isn't poison—it's an Annihilation Law. Killing these demonic beasts means nothing; when you see me kill Divine Clan cultivators, you'll realize how powerful my array truly is."

"You can effortlessly kill Divine Clan cultivators with this Annihilation Law?"

"What? Don't believe me?"

Mo Changcan looked at the demonic beasts effortlessly obliterated by the Gene Annihilation Law—he had no choice but to believe.

He then realized: Ding Huan had never even encountered a Divine Clan cultivator, yet he could casually set up an Annihilation Law specifically targeting them.

How much hatred must he harbor toward the Divine Clan? Otherwise, he couldn't have already prepared an Annihilation Law designed to kill them.

To seal off his cultivation, Ding Huan and Mo Changcan spent nearly a full year before finally completing this great Annihilation Array.

When the two returned to Liyin Divine Valley, Mo Changcan couldn't help but sigh: "I never imagined that before closing my eyes to cultivate, I'd need to spend two years preparing."

"Now at last I can close my eyes to cultivate—I plan to break through to the Divine King realm."

"Not so fast—I'll add a few more things to the array."

As Ding Huan spoke, he pulled out two Fate Stones.

"These are Fate Stones? Amazing—can you give me one?" Mo Changcan stared at the Fate Stones in Ding Huan's hand, astonished.

He had never possessed a Fate Stone before.

Ding Huan casually pulled out two more Fate Stones and tossed them to Mo Changcan: "I have plenty of these."

Mo Changcan caught the Fate Stones and sighed: "No wonder they're after you—you really can walk through the Cycle Swamp and obtain Fate Stones."

Both Ding Huan and Mo Changcan knew the value of Fate Stones, but neither knew their price.

So when Mo Changcan asked Ding Huan for a Fate Stone, he didn't think twice.

When Ding Huan tossed two Fate Stones to Mo Changcan, he didn't consider how valuable they were.

Ding Huan implanted the two Fate Stones into Daxing Peak.

Ding Huan upgraded the protective array of Daxing Peak.

The Spirit Gathering Divine Array wasn't upgraded—he feared it would suck in all the divine spirit energy from Liyin Divine Valley.

But the Spirit Binding Divine Array and the Spirit Concealment Divine Array were upgraded by Ding Huan.

Their cultivation here created massive disturbances; Ding Huan didn't want anyone to know about it.

Moreover, Ding Huan didn't want to absorb the divine spirit energy of Liyin Divine Valley, nor did he want his own top-grade divine spirit vein's energy to be stolen.

As soon as Ding Huan and Mo Changcan began cultivating, Seeing Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er sensed it.

In two years, Seeing Qu Yi had reached Heaven God realm third layer, and Luo Huan'er had reached Heaven God realm second layer.

Now, the divine spirit energy swept up by Ding Huan's cultivation instantly filled the entire Daxing Peak.

The crystal-clear heavenly laws and cosmic principles increased their cultivation speed by more than tenfold.

Chu Bukian and Chu Tianhua cultivated alongside Ding Huan for the first time—their terrifying advancement speed nearly made them jump out of their seats.

In just a few days, Chu Bukian felt the approach of the Divine Lord Lei Jie.

Under such clear Dao principles, Chu Bukian's comprehension of the Dao faced zero obstruction.

Previously vague Dao insights now resolved effortlessly.

Because his understanding of the Dao was so clear, Chu Bukian encountered no problems during his Tribulation Crossing.

At this moment, he realized his profound Dao comprehension must have come from Ding Huan or Mo Changcan's cultivation.

So immediately after ascending to the Divine Lord realm, he entered deep seclusion again.

If he let this opportunity slip, he'd be a Bai Chi.

In Liyin Divine Valley, there was a top-grade divine spirit vein, and an abundance of Fate Stones.

Ding Huan and Mo Changcan became two divine spirit energy vortexes—their absorption formed a sea of divine spirit mist.

No matter how much divine spirit energy was drawn from the vein, it was all absorbed by the two.

Although Ding Huan had no intention of absorbing the sect's divine qi, his and Mo Changcan's ability to sweep up divine qi was simply too powerful.

The divine qi of the Lyre Divine Valley sect was also continuously drawn in by Daxing Peak.

Fortunately, Daxing Peak lies near the Daxing Wasteland Range, where demonic beasts frequently attack, so its protective array requires immense divine qi.

For a time, no one noticed. In just half a year, Ding Huan advanced to Divine Lord Sixth Layer.

A year later, Ding Huan broke through to Divine Lord Ninth Layer.

In one year, Mo Changcan also advanced to World God Third Layer.

……

Great Battlefield.

This is the battlefield of the great war between the divine race and the human race.

Since the war between the divine race and the human race began, at least a hundred million cultivators have died here.

However, whether divine or human, every battle is a chaotic free-for-all.

Neither race has established a cultivator army.

Without a cultivator army, battles are fought by sects.

!.

And once battle begins, it essentially comes down to who has more strong cultivators.

After all, if a Divine King unleashes his power and no one stands in his way, he can effortlessly crush entire groups.

As the war between the two races drags on, the human side grows increasingly bleak.

A heavy, gloomy mood has enveloped the entire human encampment.

In just these few short years, nearly fifty human Divine Kings have died.

Meanwhile, the divine race has lost at most thirty Divine Kings.

If the war continues, the human race's defeat seems merely a matter of time.

If it were for any other reason, the human race would have long refused to fight.

Those sects would also refuse to keep draining themselves here.

But now, the divine race is invading—if they abandon the Great Battlefield, it means the divine race will gradually devour the human race's territory in the Divine Realm.

At that point, every sect, power, and merchant guild will face annihilation.

Strong cultivators above World God level might escape the Divine Realm and flee into the Void.

But so what?

Can they survive indefinitely in the Void?

Human Race Council Hall on the Great Battlefield.

The Tiancaishen Alliance is presiding over this council.

Those seated here are mostly the sect masters and sect guardians of the top sects of Shenzhidi.

Yuan Qing, the Tiancaishen Alliance's leader, sits in the leader's seat, but his aura is dim, clearly severely injured recently.

Yuan Qing is also the sect master of Yuqingshen Sect, one of the Shenzhidi sects bordering the Daxing Wasteland Range.

So even if Yuan Qing were not the alliance leader, he could not leave this place for a single step.

"I think we should make some concessions—allow divine race members into the Dao Xu, and we can enter the Daxing Wasteland Range."

"That was the divine race's original proposal, but some disagreed. Now it's the divine race who refuse."

……

In the council hall, people debated loudly, and many eyes turned toward Xian Wushang, the sect master of Lyre Divine Valley.

Among those who originally opposed, Xian Wushang was the loudest voice.

He was also the fiercest hawk.

But now Xian Wushang, too, is severely injured and speaks with no authority.

As for the strong cultivators of Lyre Divine Valley, many are dead or wounded.

Yuan Qing's face is pale—he too originally opposed, but now he is also severely injured.

If we don't find a way to stop the war, the human race is truly in danger.

The key is, it's the divine race, not the human race, that doesn't want to stop.

The divine race holds absolute advantage; they now want the entire Dao Xu, and demand all sects bordering the Daxing Wasteland Range withdraw completely.

If this continues, Shenzhidi will eventually become entirely divine race territory.

……

The human race is holding council; the divine race is holding council too.

Divine Race Council Hall on the Great Battlefield.

First Divine King Wang Gusen is still covered in blood, and he hasn't even bothered to clean it off.

He wants to tell every divine race cultivator: even the First Divine King fights at the front—what excuse do the rest have for not striving for the divine race?

Compared to Yuan Qing, First Divine King Wang Gusen clearly exerts far stronger control over the divine race cultivators.

His gaze swept the council hall—no one dared whisper, not even breathe loudly.

Wang Gusen took a deep breath and said slowly: "They think we'll remain deadlocked. We will now advance straight through the Daxing Wasteland Range."

"Shenzhidi is no place for humans to hold. From now on, we, the divine race, will take it."

"But we made an agreement with the human race not to enter each other's lands through the Daxing Wasteland Range—if we break this now, then…"

One divine king voiced his concern.

Wang Gusen sneered coldly: "That agreement only holds if Shenzhidi remains in human hands. If Shenzhidi is ours, will that agreement still exist?"

No one responded to Wang Gusen's words, because what he said was truth.

A flying sword shot in and landed in Gu Sen's hand.

Gu Sen's divine sense swept over the flying sword, and his face immediately changed drastically: "All Divine Kings, come with me right now to the border where the Great Star Desolate Range meets the human race."
