Chapter 703: Yijie's Innate Divine Ability

A figure rushed over from afar, letting out a call.

Ding Huan stopped the Cosmic Cauldron, and immediately saw Yijie charging toward the Cosmic Cauldron.

Ding Huan opened the protective array, and Yijie landed on the Cosmic Cauldron.

"You're not in closed-door cultivation, so why are you here?" Ding Huan looked at Yijie.

"Grandpa Huan, naturally I'm going out for a stroll with you." Yijie wore a flattering smile.

Emperor Hou Hen stared at Yijie in astonishment, sized him up for a good while, then said: "Brother Ding, is this your beast pet?"

Ding Huan nodded: "Yes, what do you think, not bad, right?"

Seeing Emperor Hou Hen's expression, Ding Huan guessed this was probably something extraordinary.

He had previously thought Yijie was just an ordinary creature, except this guy cultivated extremely fast, especially when by his side — then it was a thousand miles a day.

Added to that, this guy wasn't particularly lazy either, and looked more diligent than other demon beasts. Apart from his appearance, nothing about him looked like a pig.

Once Yijie advanced to a fifth-grade divine beast, he still planned to train him up properly.

Emperor Hou Hen laughed. Seeing something odd in his smile, Ding Huan simply said to Yijie: "Get lost and pilot the Cosmic Cauldron, we're going to the God Race…"

Wait.

Ding Huan suddenly thought, since they were going to the God Race, why not go through the Great Star Wasteland? That way, it would save a lot of time.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan steered the Cosmic Cauldron back to the Departing Sound Divine Valley, and told Xian Wushang his plan to enter the Great Star Wasteland from the Departing Sound Divine Valley.

Xian Wushang naturally had no objection at all, and personally saw Ding Huan out of the Departing Sound Divine Valley.

The Cosmic Cauldron was too fast — almost the moment it left the Departing Sound Divine Valley, it arrived at the edge of the God Race gene slaughter grand array he had set up back then.

Seeing Yijie wasn't there, Emperor Hou Hen then said:

"Brother Ding, your talent truly leaves nothing to be said, your abilities make the likes of us envious, but your taste…"

"What do you mean?" Ding Huan looked at Emperor Hou Hen in confusion.

Emperor Hou Hen let out a chuckle: "Your beast pet is indeed a divine beast, and even carries the bloodline of an ancient divine beast. Only, once you figure out what divine beast it is, you'll probably be disappointed."

"Old Hou, if you have something to say, just say it. All this hemming and hawing is unpleasant to listen to."

Emperor Hou Hen spoke frankly: "Your beast pet does have some ancient divine beast bloodline, but it's the bloodline of the divine beast Shangaо."

Ding Huan didn't mind: "Since it has ancient divine beast bloodline, that's already pretty good. I've heard any ancient divine beast has an innate divine ability, right? What is my divine beast's innate divine ability?"

Emperor Hou Hen laughed awkwardly: "It's cursing people. This beast has no other skills, but it's very strong at cursing…"

Ding Huan was stunned. Could this thing still be kept?

Yijie probably hadn't awakened his innate divine ability yet. If Yijie awakened his innate divine ability, and he carried around a cursing pig all day, that scene…

Emperor Hou Hen was still being unkind — clearly seeing Ding Huan's gloom, he twisted the knife again: "Judging by your divine beast's look, awakening the innate divine ability probably isn't far off."

Ding Huan swept a glance at Emperor Hou Hen: "Old Hou, if you keep hemming and hawing, Yijie will tag along with you from now on."

Emperor Hou Hen let out a "Huh?", seemingly feeling Ding Huan's defensive God Race grand array was no simple matter. Pretending he hadn't heard Ding Huan's words, he turned to inspect the grand array.

Only Ji Luo pursed his lips. Old Hou's little scheme was all too clear to him.

This guy just felt he'd been constantly getting the short end of the stick in front of Ding Huan — hadn't even gotten a single Starry Sky Divine Spirit Vein — and when he finally ran into an old acquaintance, that person was scared off by Ding Huan.

Now he could finally let Ding Huan eat a loss, so he was doing it on purpose.

But was Yijie's innate divine ability really cursing people? A great curiosity suddenly rose in his heart too — he really wanted to know how good Yijie's cursing skills actually were.

Ding Huan was in a very gloomy mood. Yijie looked like a pig on the outside, and he had always felt that since Yijie carried divine beast bloodline, he must be extraordinary.

When Yijie awakened his divine beast bloodline in the future, he might give him a pleasant surprise.

Now Yijie's pleasant surprise had arrived — yes, indeed just a pig.

Shangaо — what in the world is that thing?

"Brother Ding, your grand array truly contains a law of slaughter…"

Originally Emperor Hou Hen had only used inspecting the protective array as an excuse; now he was truly shocked.

He sensed the protective array Ding Huan had set up here carried a unique law of slaughter, and this law of slaughter was extremely targeted.

"Why should I tell you." Ding Huan piloted the Cosmic Cauldron to easily pass through his protective array, and charged into the Great Star Wasteland.

The Great Star Wasteland was the God Race's Void Forest, equivalent to the human race's Dao Ruins.

One side of this Great Star Wasteland connected to the void, one side bordered some human-race sects, and the greater part bordered the God Race.

The Cosmic Cauldron passed through the Great Star Wasteland, and along the way Ding Huan could see divine spirit herbs of no low grade.

He couldn't help sighing with emotion — and this was still just the edge of the Great Star Wasteland.

If one entered the true Void Forest within the void, how many good things would there be?

No wonder the God Race had more powerhouses than the human race — their resources were simply not comparable to what human-race cultivators had.

Going through the Great Star Wasteland to reach the God Race was indeed much closer. The Cosmic Cauldron took only four days to pass through the Great Star Wasteland and enter God Race territory.

"Brother Ding, something's not right here." After Emperor Hou Hen's divine sense swept outward, he immediately sensed something was off.

Ding Huan felt the same wrongness.

In the God Realm, the God Race should logically be more flourishing than the human race, yet everything in sight was a stretch of desolation.

The God Race essence nodes, cultivation clans, and some divine gates that his divine sense could reach were all covered in broken, ruined traces.

"The God Race has been invaded?" Ji Luo was also very surprised. Only the human race could invade the God Race, yet the human race clearly hadn't made any moves.

If so, why did the God Race look so ruined?

Ding Huan piloted the Cosmic Cauldron while his divine sense searched for living God Race cultivators.

Soon he found a cave dwelling, locked down by a sixth-grade concealment array disk, with three God Race cultivators inside.

Ding Huan's Cosmic Cauldron landed before this cave dwelling, and with a raise of his hand he tore open the dwelling's concealment restriction.

The three God Race cultivators inside the cave dwelling all went pale as earth, staring at Ding Huan and the others in terror.

Ding Huan pointed at the short, fat man at the very front: "Come here, I have a few questions for you."

This guy is at the first layer of World God, his cultivation is still considered decent.

"Senior, please ask." The short and stout man bowed in panic and answered carefully.

"What's going on with the God Race? I saw many sects and divine horns destroyed, and hardly any people either?"

Ding Huan's tone was very stern.

Please... you.... bookmark_(!)

The short and stout cultivator replied: "It was people from the Dao Ting who came. They demanded that God King Wanyan hand over the Spirit God Rice, and God King Wanyan said he didn't have any. This answer angered the Dao Ting experts, and they decided to annihilate our God Race."

The God Race has Spirit God Rice?

"How could your God Race possibly have Spirit God Rice?" Ding Huan was puzzled.

Although he unconsciously asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart.

Some bastard from the Human Race, after obtaining the Spirit God Rice, actually took the initiative to give it to the God Race.

Probably another scoundrel like Wu Danzi who bites the hand that feeds him.

"Right, right, our God Race never had any Spirit God Rice to begin with, but those people from the Dao Ting don't reason…" the short and stout cultivator hurriedly replied.

Ding Huan sneered: "Really none?"

"I don't know…"

Ding Huan raised his hand and slapped him across. The short and stout cultivator instantly collected his boxed lunch, the world was torn open by Ding Huan, and the things were taken away by Ding Huan.

Looking at the other two God Monarchs who had fallen into despair, Ding Huan said lightly:

"If you know how the God Race was destroyed, and how the God Race's Spirit God Rice came about, I can spare your lives."

"Senior, I know." This time the one speaking was the God Monarch initial-stage cultivator with the lowest cultivation. Although fear was in his eyes, the Dao rhyme around his body was solid and condensed—one could tell at a glance that the great Dao technique he cultivated was extraordinary.

"Speak."

"Yes." This God Monarch initial-stage cultivator hurriedly responded: "It was the president of the Feiyang Trade Association, Chang Feiyang. He obtained the Spirit God Rice grains and personally brought them to seek out God King Wanyan."

Ding Huan secretly thought, this president of the Feiyang Trade Association actually isn't dead yet—this old fox hides deep enough.

"Continue with what happened after."

"After our God Race obtained the Spirit God Rice, we immediately began cultivating it, preparing to spread it out on a large scale. Unexpectedly, the Dao Ting learned of this matter, and the result was that people from the Dao Ting came over and forcibly demanded we hand over all the Spirit God Rice grains.

Our God Race's God King Wanyan only declined politely, and was cut down on the spot. Afterwards, the Dao Ting sent people to annihilate our God Race…"

"What's going on with the Dao Ting?" Ding Huan interrupted to ask.

This God Race cultivator did not dare hesitate in the slightest: "We've only heard of the Dao Ting, across the Eternal God Abyss. Saints are as common as clouds there, experts everywhere.

Our God Race cannot cross the Eternal God Abyss, but people from the Dao Ting can cross the Eternal God Abyss to come over."

After speaking, this cultivator, worried that the information he provided was not enough, said again: "Our God Race is merely the Dao Ting's abandoned land. The Dao Ting believes they hold absolute power of life and death over the God Race."

Ding Huan suddenly sensed something was off.

If the people from the Dao Ting came to annihilate the God Race, why did they still send a tiny ant to the Human Race to negotiate?

Given the Dao Ting's domineering nature, they would naturally have directly annihilated the Human Race as well.

"How many people did the Dao Ting send to annihilate the God Race?"

"Only two, both seemed to be God Merging experts."

"Where are they?"

"The two are still at the sect annihilating the God Race. They won't stop until they have completely slaughtered the entire God Race."

Ding Huan finally understood—no wonder those two Dao Ting God Merging cultivators were still at the sect annihilating the God Race.

So they sent a low-cultivation Dao Ting cultivator to the Human Race to proclaim the Dao Ting's decree, and the result was that the person sent was killed by Shen Cuo.

It's estimated that once they finish annihilating all the God Race's sects, they will continue the action of slaughtering sects in the Human Race.

"How do you know so clearly?"

This God Monarch hurriedly bowed again: "This junior is the Deputy Chief of the Divine Monitor Bureau under God King Wanyan. The one Senior just killed was the Chief."

"Where is the Eternal God Abyss?"

The God Monarch before him clearly had very sharp eyes. The moment Ding Huan finished asking, he proactively took out a jade slip and presented it with both hands to Ding Huan:

"Senior, this is a map of the entire God Race. It not only has the Eternal God Abyss, but also the locations of all sects and divine horns."

"Where have those two Dao Ting God Merging cultivators annihilated to now?"

"The news I just obtained is that they are currently at the Ruoyue Divine Horn."

Ding Huan's divine sense landed on the jade slip, and he immediately saw the Ruoyue Divine Horn.
