Chapter 776: Wheel Heart, Wheel Kill

Seeing that Master Huan was taking him instead of the stronger ErGou, YiJie was overjoyed.

As it passed ErGou, it even shoved its rump against ErGou, its triumph obvious.

It had risen to a Level Five Divine Beast in such a short time entirely because of ErGou's stimulation.

This dog was a real dog—it seized every instant to cultivate. In another while, ErGou would be a Level Seven Divine Beast.

Every time it went to find ErGou for a stroll, ErGou always ignored it under the excuse of closed-door cultivation.

Though it fumed with rage, YiJie had no way to deal with ErGou.

Because it feared its own strength falling too far behind and being abandoned by Master Huan.

YiJie was forced to stop wasting time and seized every second to cultivate.

Though its progress wasn't slow, ErGou was no slouch either.

Seeing Master Huan choose to take YiJie and not him, ErGou was clearly disappointed.

But its thinking was far more mature than YiJie's—it quickly realized its cultivation was still too low.

If it were a Sacred Beast now, Master Huan would surely take it; clearly, it still had to work harder.

YiJie was just a trash talent—barely worth a glance in its eyes.

After Ding Huan left the Blue Star Academy, the Cosmic Cauldron did not rush toward the Dao Ruins or the Eternal God Abyss, but headed toward the Watcher God's Realm.

Lao Jia believed the Eternal God Abyss was the Chaos Treasure Eternal God Wheel, while the Watcher God Stair Sea was its Wheel Heart.

To refine the Eternal God Wheel, one must first refine its Wheel Heart.

Now someone was ignoring the Wheel Heart of the Eternal God Wheel and directly refining the Eternal God Wheel itself.

There could be only two reasons: first, the opponent didn't know the Wheel Heart of the Eternal God Wheel lay on Blue Star Divine Land.

Second, the opponent was trapped within the Dao Ruins or the Eternal God Abyss and couldn't escape.

Therefore, for Ding Huan, he must reach the Watcher God Stair Sea at once to refine its Wheel Heart.

After refining the Wheel Heart of the Eternal God Wheel, he would then proceed to the Eternal God Abyss to refine the Eternal God Wheel itself.

Only by obtaining the Eternal God Wheel could he fear no one.

Otherwise, even if he found where the opponent was, he could do nothing but be suppressed.

Estimating the Cosmic Cauldron's speed, Ding Huan thought it would take no more than a few days to reach the Watcher God Stair Sea.

But for Ding Huan, even one day was too long.

After the Cosmic Cauldron burst out of the Blue Star Academy, Ding Huan retracted it; YiJie, he tossed into the Five Elements World.

Ding Huan then used the Blue Star Divine Land's planetary defense array to teleport.

Blue Star Divine Land was repaired by him; the realm's celestial laws were deeply imprinted with his Great Cosmos Art.

This realm's planetary defense array also formed with his assistance, so he could fully use it to teleport.

In just a few breaths, Ding Huan stood beneath the Watcher God Stair Sea.

Wu Liang was dead; the death qi here had long since dissipated.

Ding Huan didn't hesitate a single second—he charged into the Watcher God Stair Sea.

To refine the Watcher God Stair Sea, one must begin not at the first level, but at the very top.

If one cannot reach the summit of the Watcher God Stair Sea, even knowing it is a Chaos Treasure, one cannot refine it.

Ding Huan stood again on the Eighteenth Level of the Watcher God Stair Sea, surrounded entirely by the sinking poison Dao laws; the sinking laws in the sea indeed shared the same origin as those in the Eternal God Abyss.

Ding Huan took a deep breath.

For any reason, he must obtain the Eternal God Wheel.

He had once severed his Dao here in the Watcher God Stair Sea.

If someone else refined the Watcher God Stair Sea, his Dao secrets would be exposed before others' eyes.

How could he tolerate that?

Now that he was inside the Watcher God Stair Sea, it was unlikely anyone else could refine it.

But the Watcher God Stair Sea was the Wheel Heart of the Eternal God Wheel—who could be sure his Dao resonance after severing his Dao here wouldn't be remembered by the Eternal God Wheel?

Ding Huan immediately formed a Zhou Tian with the Watcher God Stair Sea through his Great Cosmos Art; the moment the Zhou Tian formed, a surging tide of sinking laws swept over him.

Even though Ding Huan had once fused with sinking laws, he still shuddered under this tidal wave of sinking laws.

If anyone else came here, even a Fifth-Transformation Sacred Saint, they would likely be paralyzed by this surge of sinking laws.

The assault of the sinking laws made Ding Huan even more alert.

The fact that the opponent could refine the Eternal God Abyss meant their strength far exceeded Fifth-Transformation.

The Eternal God Abyss was the main body of the Eternal God Wheel; if even the sinking laws within its Wheel Heart were this terrifying, how powerful were the sinking laws within the Eternal God Abyss itself?

He was fortunate to be a Dao-attained Sacred Saint coming here to refine the Wheel Heart; otherwise, he would have sunk into these sinking laws.

Eventually, he might awaken, since he had fused with sinking laws.

But how long would it take to awaken?

Ten years? Or a thousand years?

If it were a thousand years, all would be cold and ruined—he might even be locked down directly by the one who refined the Eternal God Wheel.

Ding Huan soon sank into the refinement of the Watcher God Stair Sea.

One after another, sinking laws were sensed and fused by Ding Huan…

After an unknown length of time, Ding Huan caught the first seal of the Eternal God Wheel's Wheel Heart.

As the first seal was refined by Ding Huan, the subsequent seals appeared one after another.

Deep within, Ding Huan knew clearly: his ease in refining the Wheel Heart of the Eternal God Wheel was because this was Blue Star Divine Land.

The Wheel Heart of the Eternal God Wheel lay on Blue Star Divine Land, and Blue Star Divine Land was his territory.

The realm's celestial laws were almost entirely restored by him.

Here, he attained sainthood, and even Lei Jie did not exist; thus, anything from the Blue Star Divine Land was under his absolute control.

Now, as he refines the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel, the effort yields double results.

If the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel had been encountered in the void, he might not have found even the first seal to this day.

Such a primordial treasure, if the first seal is not found within the shortest possible time, is likely to flee on its own and will never remain here waiting to be refined.

The second seal, the third seal…

After Ding Huan attained sainthood, his own Dao had become a complete system.

Even though the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel is more advanced than other treasures, under Ding Huan's Dao system, these seals were refined at an extremely rapid pace.

When the final seal was refined by Ding Huan, he felt a tender, clear chime resonate deep within his soul sea; immediately, he opened his hand, and a beautiful core appeared in his grasp.

The core was wrapped in eighteen layers of Dao patterns, with Dao rhythms floating within, profoundly mysterious.

Ding Huan exhaled in relief; he knew these eighteen layers of Dao patterns were the steps of the Watchgod Stair Sea.

And those undulating Dao rhythms were the various Dao laws he had refined, the strongest of which was the Submersion Law.

Compared to the Submersion Law within the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel, the Submersion Law he had previously perceived was not even a fraction of its essence.

This allows one to infer just how powerful the Submersion Law of the Eternal Divine Abyss truly is.

He simply had not encountered it yet.

Ding Huan stepped onto the ground; the Watchgod Stair Sea had vanished, replaced by a desolate wasteland.

Ding Huan put away the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel; he had remained here for decades to refine it.

Fortunately, he had fully refined the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel.

Now, with the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel in hand, refining the Eternal Divine Wheel itself would be far easier than forcing its refinement.

Yet Ding Huan had no intention of directly refining the Eternal Divine Wheel.

Ding Huan once again borrowed the Star-Protection Array of the Blue Star Divine Land; through the array, he was teleported to the edge of the Eternal Divine Abyss.

Ding Huan did not use the Cosmic Cauldron—he simply stepped directly into the Eternal Divine Abyss.

Waves of Submersion Law surged toward Ding Huan, yet their effect on him was minimal.

Were it not for the overwhelming presence of Void Law here, Ding Huan could walk as if on level ground deep within the Eternal Divine Abyss.

For Ding Huan, his first priority was to locate the Eternal Divine Peak, then use the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel to refine the peak first.

While others' spiritual senses could not extend here, Ding Huan's spiritual sense could extend effortlessly.

Though the Void Law still impeded his spiritual sense, it was sufficient for Ding Huan to locate the Eternal Divine Peak.

Only half an incense stick passed before Ding Huan clearly sensed someone refining the Dao laws of the Eternal Divine Abyss.

The laws here were saturated with an unfamiliar Dao rhythm.

Part of these laws had already aligned with this Dao rhythm.

Clearly, given enough time, the Eternal Divine Abyss would become that person's treasure.

For Ding Huan, he could not grant that person enough time.

Only an hour passed before Ding Huan stood for the second time at the base of the Eternal Divine Peak.

As soon as he stepped onto the base of the Eternal Divine Peak, Ding Huan communicated with the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel and began refining the peak.

After refining the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel, Ding Huan clearly understood what the Eternal Divine Peak was.

It was the Wheel-Slash of the primordial treasure, the Eternal Divine Wheel.

The Eternal Divine Wheel was a top-tier offensive artifact; the Wheel-Slash was its ultimate weapon.

Though the Eternal Divine Peak now appeared utterly benign, once activated, it could effortlessly destroy an entire world.

The core of the Eternal Divine Wheel was refined from the top, while the Wheel-Slash of the Eternal Divine Wheel was refined from the bottom.

Sensing that the Eternal Divine Peak had not been specially refined, Ding Huan relaxed.

He no longer refined the Wheel-Slash through communication with the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel.

Instead, he cleanly implanted the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel into the Eternal Divine Abyss and directly constructed the Great Cosmos Technique Zhou Tian to refine the Wheel-Slash.

This Great Cosmos Technique Zhou Tian was completed through the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel and the Wheel-Slash.

The one refining the Eternal Divine Abyss had not chosen to refine the Wheel-Slash first, but instead opted to directly refine the Eternal Divine Wheel—this confirmed Ding Huan's suspicion.

He must be trapped somewhere and unable to move.

Otherwise, even if he could not find the core, he would have chosen to refine the Wheel-Slash first.

His immobility was advantageous for Ding Huan.

Of course, there was another possibility.

He lacked the core of the Eternal Divine Wheel and had no qualification to refine the Wheel-Slash.

Unable to refine the Wheel-Slash, he could only resort to the most foolish method: refining each Dao law of the Eternal Divine Abyss individually.

When Ding Huan first constructed the Great Cosmos Technique Zhou Tian, he soon sensed that no one remained on the Eternal Divine Peak.

The false saint, Kong Chuan, had also vanished.

This saved Ding Huan some time.

If anyone else had still been here, regardless of who, Ding Huan would have killed them without hesitation.

This was no time for mercy; letting any person escape would be dangerous—if the one refining the Eternal Divine Abyss learned someone was stealing the refinement of the Wheel-Slash, he would be in peril.

The one daring to openly refine the Eternal Divine Wheel must possess certain methods.
