Chapter 738: Unified Prime God Realm
Feeling Ding Huan's viciousness, Wuliang's Dao rhyme shifted, and without the slightest hesitation he severed his own leg bone.
No matter what, he absolutely could not let Ding Huan follow him.
At this moment he roughly understood why Ding Huan had risked his life to plant the bone-burrowing poison on him.
This fellow was worried he couldn't kill him now, so he had branded him with a mark first.
Truly vicious.
He found it hard to understand what Ding Huan's way of fighting was for.
Now that he had already escaped, wouldn't the one he'd been fighting with rush to collect the God-Gazing Ladder Sea first thing?
What's the point of chasing him at the cost of his life? Could he possibly open his world?
Ding Huan felt the Wuliang he had been gripping suddenly vanish, and immediately a fierce surge of void power swept over.
Ding Huan's whole body spun like a top, tumbling again and again through the void.
He didn't know how long he tumbled, until he slammed into a meteorite and shattered it into fragments, only then did he come to a stop.
Ding Huan looked at the leg bone in his hand.
This old bone is quite something—actually cutting off his own leg just to shake me off.
If this old fellow thinks he can get away, he's being a little too naive.
He could sense the other's existence now.
Only very far away, that's all.
With Wuliang's current strength, driving out the bone-burrowing poison on him probably wouldn't be easy.
This fellow's current strength is at most equivalent to a Divine King realm.
A Divine King realm cultivator trying to drive out the bone-burrowing poison he laid down definitely wouldn't be that easy.
While the other was trying to dispel the bone-burrowing poison, he'd have a chance to locate him.
He sent the Life-and-Death Mirror at his waist into his own world, then sealed the broken bone in his hand and tossed it into his ring.
Even if Wuliang broke through the bone-burrowing poison, this fellow still had a segment of broken bone in his hands, so he could still find the other.
He inspected the Tribulation-Breaking Blade; after a great battle, the blade's momentum had actually drawn inward, no longer as razor-sharp and on full display as when it had just been forged.
His injuries were severe—his whole body was almost dyed red with blood.
But Ding Huan didn't care; with his recovery ability, as long as his Dao foundation wasn't damaged, he could make a full recovery in a short time.
Ding Huan's divine sense swept outward, and he quickly noticed something off—there were signs of human habitation here.
There were ripples of ships flying through the void, and the ripples of ships coming and going were quite frequent.
Sensing the surrounding rules of heaven and earth, this should indeed be equivalent to a God Realm domain.
The rules of heaven and earth seemed a bit stronger than the void where the Three Gods Land was located.
Since there were frequent traces of ships passing by, it meant there were human star-continents on this void interface, and the star-continent shouldn't be very far from where he was.
If so, that old bone Wuliang very likely had also come to this star-continent.
Just as Ding Huan was about to bring out a flying magic treasure, a ship appeared at the edge of his divine sense.
It was a mid-grade flying divine artifact.
Before the ship could approach, Ding Huan performed a cultivator's greeting from afar.
There were three cultivators on the ship—two men and one woman.
The highest cultivation among them was only around the seventh layer of Divine Monarch, and that was the woman.
Of the other two, one was at the second layer of Divine Monarch, the other at the third layer.
Ding Huan concealed his own cultivation at the first layer of Divine Monarch.
Seeing his cultivation wasn't high, there was a chance they'd stop.
He knew many ships wouldn't stop for a stray void cultivator like himself.
So he decided on courtesy first, force second.
If they stopped, he'd ask for the star-continent's location; if they didn't, he'd forcibly intercept them.
In Ding Huan's view, they almost certainly wouldn't stop for him.
To Ding Huan's surprise, the ship actually stopped.
"Greetings, three senior brothers and sister. I ran into a pack of void spirit beasts in the void and have lost my bearings—might any of you have a jade slip with the star-continent's location?"
Ding Huan's tone was very polite.
All three on the ship looked Ding Huan up and down in surprise.
Ding Huan's cultivation looked to be only early Divine Monarch, and covered in blood and wounds as he was—they really didn't know how he'd escaped with his life from those spirit beasts.
"Do you have a flying magic treasure?" the woman suddenly asked.
Ding Huan scratched the back of his head sheepishly: "I still have a few low-grade flying magic treasures on me."
Although Ding Huan hadn't said it outright, all three understood what he meant.
Low-grade flying magic treasure—that meant immortal artifacts, right.
"We're heading back to the Unified Prime God Realm anyway, so come along with us." The female cultivator said it very generously.
Delighted, Ding Huan quickly thanked her: "My name is Ding Huan. Many thanks, senior sister, and many thanks to the two senior brothers."
He understood now—this place was the Unified Prime God Realm.
After giving thanks, Ding Huan landed on their ship without the slightest hesitation.
The female cultivator nodded; she could see clearly that Ding Huan's cultivation should be around the first layer of Divine Monarch.
A cultivator around the first layer of Divine Monarch daring to board their ship—there were only two possibilities: first, he was concealing his cultivation, and his actual cultivation was far stronger than theirs. But that didn't seem likely.
She could sense that Ding Huan wasn't very old.
It was a kind of intuition.
That's not the point. The point is, this place is close to the Chaos One God Realm, so there simply can't be any powerful Void beasts here.
Let alone a beast tide—there isn't even living space for them.
If so, what Ding Huan likely encountered were low-level beasts, probably not even a beast tide.
Of course, it's also possible Ding Huan was injured like this from a fight with someone else.
Whether Ding Huan ran into low-level beasts or was hurt fighting someone, the fact that he was injured so critically shows his strength can't be all that great.
Because she didn't sense any Dao resonance ripples from a powerful cultivator's battle here.
Second, Ding Huan is a simple, schemeless person. Of course, that's the polite way of putting it.
The less polite way is that Ding Huan is an idiot—merely at the first layer of Divine Sovereign, and he dares board a late-Divine-Sovereign flying ship.
Every chapter, every first release—content all in one place to read!
Fortunately, they aren't bad people either; none of them would scheme against a mere early-Divine-Sovereign like Ding Huan.
"Fellow Daoist Ding, which Divine Gate are you from?"
A short, stout man walked over and familiarly patted Ding Huan's back shoulder.
Ding Huan laughed awkwardly:
"My aptitude is quite ordinary. Being able to cultivate to this level was just a fortunate accident. So I haven't joined any Divine Gate yet—I'm a loose cultivator."
The short, stout man laughed heartily and introduced himself:
"I'm Gan Shijian. The one who let you on our flying ship is my senior sister Su Mi, and this is my senior brother Yan Ba. You're lucky—my senior sister has never looked down on loose cultivators.
If it were people from the Jia Baihe Sword Dao, they'd probably not even bother to acknowledge you."
Ding Huan could only thank them once more.
Gan Shijian had the lowest cultivation, second layer of Divine Sovereign, but he seemed to have a decent personality.
Yan Ba was rather taciturn and short, with cultivation a bit stronger than Gan Shijian's—third layer of Divine Sovereign.
As for that woman Su Mi, seventh layer of Divine Sovereign, she seemed fairly steady.
"Our Nirvana Saint Dao Palace will soon be recruiting inner disciples again. With your cultivation, you should be able to join our Nirvana Saint Dao Palace."
Gan Shijian not only had a decent personality, he was also very enthusiastic.
Ding Huan's sole purpose in coming here was to kill Wuliang.
He had not the slightest interest in joining the Nirvana Saint Dao Palace.
After Su Mi brought Ding Huan onto the flying ship, she said nothing more.
Ba Yan looked like a taciturn type at first glance, so the only one who could chat with Ding Huan was Gan Shijian.
After chatting with Gan Shijian for a while, Ding Huan had a rough understanding of the Chaos One God Realm.
From Gan Shijian's words, Ding Huan learned that the heaven-and-earth rules of the Chaos One God Realm were clearly far stronger than those of the Three Gods Land.
In the Chaos One God Realm there were not only Saints, but even Saints above the Third Rotation.
Moreover, the Chaos One God Realm had a Dao Ancestor, and the Dao Ancestor of the Chaos One God Realm was named Quan.
After Dao Ancestor Quan attained the Dao of longevity, he returned to the Chaos One God Realm once, and then vanished completely.
Hearing this information, Ding Huan was pondering a question in his heart.
The heaven-and-earth rules of the Chaos One God Realm were so complete—could he simply stay here and cultivate to a higher level?
He just didn't know whether the Chaos One World was a God Realm that originally existed in the vast universe, or a world constructed by Dao Ancestor Quan.
Most likely it was a God Realm that originally existed in the vast universe.
Quan's position should be roughly equivalent to that of the Hongjun Ancestor of the Nine Heavens.
Even the Hongjun Ancestor couldn't construct a God Realm of this level, so this ancestor Quan shouldn't be more formidable than Hongjun.
"I once bought a damaged jade slip note at a market. That jade slip recorded that in the present vastness, there aren't many life planets left.
Mainly because of the Calamity of Measure. The reason our Chaos One God Realm can exist, and even has fairly complete heaven-and-earth rules,
is mainly because outside our Chaos One God Realm there is a spatial rules world, and this spatial rules world shields the Chaos One God Realm. Otherwise, the Chaos One God Realm couldn't possibly have Nine-Rotation Saints."
Seeing that Gan Shijian never brought up why the Chaos One God Realm was so complete, Ding Huan took the initiative to steer the conversation.
Su Mi, who was a bit farther away, heard Ding Huan's words and, surprised, shifted her gaze over.
She actually interjected: "The strongest cultivator in the Chaos One God Realm should only be a Fourth-Rotation Saint. Although the heaven-and-earth rules here are decent, they aren't complete.
So there can't be any Nine-Rotation Saints. Where did you hear there are Nine-Rotation Saints here?"
Ding Huan laughed awkwardly: "The damaged jade slip I obtained mentioned Nine-Rotation Saints, but whether they later attained the Dao of Nine Rotations, I wouldn't know."
"Do you still have the jade slip?"
"I sold it."
Gan Shijian laughed heartily: "Things like rules worlds, we just need to listen and that's that. As for whether they exist, nobody knows.
Even if they do, it has nothing to do with us. With our cultivation and strength, even if a complete rules world appeared right in front of us, we probably wouldn't know what it was, and we couldn't take it away."
The Chaos One World was indeed not far from where he had been before.
It seemed Ding Huan and Gan Shijian hadn't chatted for long before the outline of a star continent appeared at the edge of their divine sense.
The flying ship streaked at extreme speed toward this star continent. Half an hour later, the ship stopped at a Void plaza outside the star continent.
Whether in presence or scale, the Chaos One God Realm before them left the Three Gods Land a hundred streets behind.
(Fellow Daoist, good night!)
