Chapter 825

Originally, the four of them had teamed up to confront Guan Huan, with Qu Ge as the main force.

Now, Qu Ge was destabilized by Ding Huan's Evening Drum Dao Sound and the Qu Clan's Gene Killing Law, compounded by witnessing the horrific fates of the Qu Clan disciples.

Facing Guan Huan's punch, his condition was clearly off.

The other three Qu Clan Eternal Life Realm sages launched frenzied attacks, trying to block Guan Huan.

Guan Huan's punch unleashed a killing intent with unstoppable momentum.

Beneath the punch's intent, all forces within this realm seemed to be swept toward it.

Yet the spatial fluctuations were not particularly strong.

This gave the other three Qu Clan Eternal Life Realm cultivators a false impression.

That they could block Guan Huan's punch.

Boom!

The punch's momentum collided with the three cultivators' spiritual domains.

The spiritual domain rhythms exploded; the laws of space shattered.

Without Qu Ge to hinder him, even combined, these three were still vastly inferior to Guan Huan's Dao rhythm.

Moreover, under the influence of Ding Huan's Qu Clan Gene Killing Law, their strength continuously declined. Two Creation Dao cultivators' spiritual domains were ripped apart; the death-space summoned by the punch engulfed them both.

Boom! Boom!

Two clouds of blood exploded.

Guan Huan's punch shattered the physical bodies of two Qu Clan Creation Dao sages.

Even the Dimension-Birth Realm sage had his internal organs shattered and both arms reduced to nothing by Guan Huan's punch.

Yet these three Qu Clan Eternal Life sages had not fully blocked Guan Huan's punch.

Guan Huan's punch momentum, peerless in power, after smashing through their resistance, still surged toward Qu Ge.

Seeing Guan Huan's punch hurtling toward him, Qu Ge felt all his strength drained away.

He desperately wanted to summon his planet to crush Guan Huan into pulp.

But he could not.

Thud!

The Evening Drum's sound struck precisely at the moment Qu Ge prepared to detonate his planet and take Guan Huan down with him, slamming into the deepest depths of Qu Ge's spirit.

His spiritual essence leaked away; his domain was torn apart by Guan Huan.

Crack!

Guan Huan's punch rhythm tore a bloodied hole through Qu Ge's chest; Dao rhythm runes split outward from the wound.

At this moment, Qu Ge resembled a cracked, crumbling porcelain vase ready to shatter.

As Qu Ge was about to perish.

Countless cultivators gathered here fled in panic.

The Qu Clan Dao Court's cultivator army, just arriving, scattered like sand, fleeing in all directions.

Everyone knew the Qu Clan Dao Court was finished.

Not only the cultivator army, but also the countless cultivators of the Planet Dao City lost all interest in watching the battle and fled.

Stay now, and wait for these two killing gods to finish off the Qu Clan, then come kill them?

Blood the color of brown seeped from Qu Ge's lips; he did not look at Guan Huan, but at Ding Huan: "Who are you?"

He knew better than anyone—if only Guan Huan had come.

Even if Guan Huan was stronger than all of them combined, he could not harm the Qu Clan, not even kill a single person.

But Ding Huan had not reached the Eternal Life Realm, yet his methods were terrifyingly potent.

First, he had slashed open the Abyss Law blade trench, causing countless Qu Clan disciples to rush headlong into their deaths within it.

Then he had laid down the Qu Clan Gene Killing Law, and finally used the Evening Drum to exterminate them utterly. Guan Huan was merely an accomplice.

Ding Huan was the true architect of the Qu Clan's slaughter, and his methods were ruthless.

There was one more question he wanted to ask—but he could not speak it.

Why did Ding Huan seek to exterminate the Qu Clan entirely?

If one day, the entire Xiao Tian Xu were blanketed with Ding Huan's Qu Clan Gene Killing Law, the Qu Clan would be wiped out here.

He wanted to step forward and beg Ding Huan to spare the Qu Clan.

He wanted to say: the Qu Clan had merely issued a bounty on Ding Huan; Ding Huan had killed a few of them—why must he exterminate every last bloodline of the Qu Clan?

But now, Guan Huan's punch intent exploded, and he was utterly powerless against the Qu Clan Gene Killing Law.

At this moment, he forgot how the Qu Clan had once slaughtered and destroyed countless innocent planets, where the people had never even heard the name "Qu Clan."

In just a short time, Qu Ge's physical body collapsed entirely.

Ding Huan glanced at Qu Ge, utterly unwilling to answer his question.

Then, looking at the seven sages still standing before him, he raised his hand and retrieved the Evening Drum.

These seven were not Qu Clan sages—all sixteen Qu Clan sages had already been killed by him.

The seven standing before him now: three Nine-Transformation sages, the rest all Seven-Transformation.

Too bad, he had been fully focused on controlling the Evening Drum's attack.

He had not been able to tear open any of their worlds.

"Ding Daofriend, we have not been using our full strength just now—please show mercy," said one of the Nine-Transformation sages, bowing deeply.

Ding Huan sneered inwardly: at first, they hadn't shown mercy at all—they'd even been willing to burn their lifespans to kill him.

Later, they'd merely thought the Qu Clan was using them as cannon fodder, so they'd held back.

After discovering the truth, these men fought even more desperately than before.

Show mercy?

Hehe...

If the Qu clan's Gene Annihilation Law had no effect on them, they wouldn't even be standing here now.

Ding Huan's Break-Catastrophe Blade surged again.

The blade's radiance stirred up a thunderous clamor of war drums within this void, a sound of slaughter.

Before the blade curtain had fully formed the Boundless Blade River, its chilling aura of slaughter tore the seven men's spirits loose as if peeled from their bodies.

Seeing that Ding Huan had no intention of sparing them, each of the seven activated their own artifacts, feigning desperate attacks aimed at Ding Huan.

Yet their domains did not merge—they shrank inward instead.

Because they wanted to flee.

Each thought the same: let the other die, not me.

They were already terrified, lacking the courage to face Ding Huan again.

Unfortunately, they had underestimated Ding Huan's domain.

Earlier, when Ding Huan faced twenty-seven, he still held his ground. Now, with seven men, each plotting betrayal and all trying to escape, how could they possibly break free of Ding Huan's domain?

The blade curtain formed the Boundless Blade River.

The Boundless Blade River hung in the void, sealing off the seven men's lifelines.

As the ethereal aura enveloped them, bursts of blood erupted.

Puff! Puff!...

One after another, blood exploded—the Boundless Blade River severed all seven men at the waist.

Even now, these seven had not yet felt the white bones along the edge of the Boundless Blade River.

It was almost timely death.

"Hah, they're terrified..."

Guan Huan's voice came through.

He had already slain four Eternal Realm sages, including Qu Ge, the Dao Lord of the Qu Clan Dao Court.

Just now, he had watched clearly: had these seven sages not sought to flee, they might have struggled for a while within Ding Huan's domain.

All seven wanted to escape, each hoping to leave the task of blocking Ding Huan to their companions.

In the end, not one got away.

Ding Huan did not answer Guan Huan. His hands traced infinite Dao laws in the void.

Guan Huan stood beside him, stunned.

Isn't he an Evolution Realm sage?

Then why can't I, an Evolution Realm sage, comprehend all of Ding Huan's hand seals?

I can only tell he's constructing various spatial laws...

When Ding Huan opened one world after another, Guan Huan was utterly dumbfounded.

Can you even do that?

He had slain four Eternal Realm sages, yet never once considered opening their worlds?

In truth, he knew it wasn't that he didn't want to—he simply couldn't, no matter how hard he tried, with his current methods.

But how did Ding Huan manage it?

Ding Huan didn't just open these men's worlds—he opened at least a dozen more. Watching pile after pile of treasures being swept away by Ding Huan, Guan Huan couldn't help but sigh in awe.

Earlier, when he saw Ding Huan face twenty-seven, he already knew Ding Huan was no ordinary fish—his potential matched or even surpassed his own brother's.

Now he realized he had still vastly underestimated Ding Huan—this mastery, this depth of understanding of world rules...

It was beyond anything he could ever imagine.

Not only had Ding Huan helped him eliminate the twenty-seven sages just now, but even the four Eternal Realm sages of the Qu clan were slain only because of Ding Huan's aid.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed them yet.

Wait a little longer—Chang Yun might arrive soon.

If a few more Evolution Realm experts show up, Guan Huan might relive an old scene from years ago.

"Sigh, too many of them—I only opened thirteen worlds," Ding Huan muttered, gathering the loot.

Fortunately, Guan Huan was a simple, honest man—he only admired Ding Huan more.

If it had been Ji Luo, he would have sneered at Ding Huan.

"Ding Huan, brother, did you use some technique to make all Qu clan disciples' Dao collapse and their Primordial Spirits vanish?"

Guan Huan couldn't help stepping forward to ask. Ding Huan looked at the now-empty plaza outside the Star Dao City, at the countless cultivators frantically fleeing from within the city, and felt deeply satisfied.

"I used Gene Annihilation techniques to wipe out every Qu clan bloodline in the Lesser Heaven Ruins," Ding Huan chuckled, walking toward the Star Dao City.

He knew wiping out every Qu clan bloodline was difficult.

After all, his Qu clan Gene Annihilation Law still needed time to merge with the cosmic rules and become a natural law of the Lesser Heaven Ruins.

Qu clan disciples far from the Star Dao City might have escaped.

They might even flee beyond the Lesser Heaven Ruins.

But should he ever encounter them again, he would kill them without hesitation.

He had already set up the Qu clan Gene Annihilation Law—now, whenever he saw a Qu clan disciple, a single glance would reveal them.

Unfortunately, his cultivation was too limited; in this realm governed by cosmic rules, he could not use Bloodline Tracing techniques to exterminate them completely.

"Impressive," Guan Huan said, then suddenly turned his head toward the void.

Ding Huan didn't even turn around: "He won't come."

Ding Huan knew Chang Yun had arrived. He was certain Chang Yun wouldn't dare approach, and he had no need to chase—he couldn't catch him anyway.

The Qu clan had been wiped clean by him; would Chang Wen dare to come down at this point to deal with him and Guan Huan? Unless this guy had truly taken the wrong medicine.

Guan Huan laughed wildly: "He really doesn't dare to come, he's already left. Once we're done here, we'll go find trouble with him."

"Naturally."

As Ding Huan spoke, one formation flag after another was tossed out by him.

Then one top-grade divine spirit vein after another was drawn out by him.

Among them were top-grade divine spirit veins of the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth attributes, as well as top-grade divine spirit veins of the thunder attribute.

"Haha, we've struck it rich. Old Guan, whatever attribute divine spirit vein you need, take it yourself; there are plenty here." Ding Huan laughed heartily.

Guan Huan naturally didn't stand on ceremony; he drew away two top-grade divine spirit veins of the earth attribute and one top-grade divine spirit vein of the metal attribute.
