Chapter 878: The Schemes of the Eternal God Saint

"You want to escape?" A voice without the slightest warmth came over.

Yan Zhuo turned his head and saw Qingsha Dao Ancestor's gaze, as icy as her voice.

Though Yan Zhuo was seething inside, he could only bow and salute: "Yan Zhuo greets Qingsha Dao Ancestor. This junior would not dare to flee on his own."

He was seventy percent certain that Yan Jiuyue's injuries had been inflicted by Qingsha Dao Ancestor.

Even if she had evidence, she wouldn't dare speak up—let alone now that there was none.

"Go back." Another voice came; this one carried a touch more warmth than Qingsha Dao Ancestor's.

Seeing who had arrived, Yan Zhuo hurriedly bowed once more:

"Fengyu Dao Ancestor, my daughter Jiuyue risked her life entering the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range to seek news of the Tianmeng Clan. Now she has been soul-searched—please, Dao Ancestor, stand up for me."

Fengyu Dao Ancestor sighed: "There are simply too many Tianmeng people inside the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range. If she was caught by them, ending up in such a state is entirely possible."

Yan Zhuo stared at Fengyu Dao Ancestor in disbelief.

Could there be any more shamelessness than this?

How could such words even be spoken aloud?

Would the Tianmeng people stop at mere soul-searching?

In the distance, Dao Ancestor Feng Pu of the Tianzi World even showed a flicker of contempt in the corner of his eye.

This Zhuoqing Feng has embarrassed herself to the extreme.

Qingsha Dao Ancestor is bullying someone from the Fengyu World like this—bullying the sect master of a sect, no less.

And this Zhuoqing Feng not only doesn't dare speak up for her own world's people, she lies through her teeth with a straight face.

To be a cultivator of the Fengyu World—what a tragedy.

"Go back and hold the human-race line at the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range. Once you earn battle merit, the Fengyu World will not forget you."

Seeing Yan Zhuo's stunned expression, Fengyu Dao Ancestor added another line.

Yan Zhuo drew a deep breath and said slowly, "Yes."

With that, he took Yan Jiuyue and turned back into the depths of the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range.

The unwillingness and fury deep within him—he did not dare let even a sliver of it show at this moment.

Yan Zhuo was certain that if he dared disobey one more word, what awaited him would likely be the annihilation of both body and soul.

He knew all too well the cruelty and spite of these people.

…

When Ding Huan opened his eyes again, the chaotic flows of heaven-and-earth laws around him had almost all calmed down.

Beneath his Great Dao Zhou Tian, all the chaotic laws began

to merge on their own.

Feeling the circulation of Dao rhythm within his own universe, Ding Huan felt an urge—he wanted to try out Qingsha Dao Ancestor's methods.

A resonant, humming sound of Great Dao resonance flowed through his world.

As if his own Great Dao rhythm had reached its utmost, Ding Huan could clearly sense that his Great Dao stood at the very edge of sublimation.

His divine sense fell upon the Severing-Law Star River.

The Chaotic Law Sea churned, and the Severing Law began to perfect itself in step with his Dao intent.

Streak after streak of brand-new Severing Law filled into the Severing-Law Star River, and the Star River expanded rapidly.

Ding Huan excitedly raised a hand and blasted out a streak of Severing Dao rhythm.

Boom!

A divine Dao light that tore the heavens erupted forth.

The remnant star-continent left behind by the Tianmeng Clan was split clean in two beneath Ding Huan's Severing divine ability.

The Severing-Law Star River fully took shape, and a Severing Dao Rule belonging to him was condensed into being.

The Chaotic Law Sea within his own Great Dao world churned without cease.

A Dao rhythm surpassing that of this very world kept climbing around Ding Huan.

From early Yan Jie, to mid Yan Jie, then to the peak of Yan Jie…

When even Ding Huan's Great Dao Zhou Tian could no longer hold back the endlessly climbing Great Dao, his world seemed to burst apart.

In that instant it expanded several times over.

The Dao rules of his own universe climbed rapidly as well; streak after streak of still-embryonic Law Star River perfected themselves at flying speed.

Yi Jie, who had been cultivating madly, stopped. It sensed the aura of this universe's origin.

Not only sensed it—sensed it with crystalline clarity.

Without any cause, its cultivation began to climb.

This…

Has it become a Chaotic life-form?

Yi Jie stared wide-eyed, feeling the newly derived Chaotic Law and bathing in the wash of that origin-Dao-rhythm aura. How could it not know what it had gained?

Is it about to become an existence on par with a Chaotic God-Demon?

No time to lose—cultivate, quickly.

Just as Yi Jie began to cultivate, Ding Huan's Great Dao rhythm was still climbing madly.

Jia Baihe, who was close to Ding Huan, likewise sensed the Great Dao aura of a universe being forged open.

That Great Dao rhythm of the first division of Chaos was simply too perfectly suited to her Origin Great Dao.

In that fleeting instant, she merged into Ding Huan's Great Dao rhythm, and her cultivation too surged wildly,

When her Origin Great Dao rhythm and Ding Huan's Great Universe Art Dao rhythm converged, Jia Baihe's heart gave a faint tremor.

At that moment, every one of her secrets lay exposed beneath Ding Huan's gaze.

Although her Origin Great Dao had only just begun, it blended seamlessly with Ding Huan's Great Universe Art.

It was a fusion of Great Daos, and also a complementary bond of hearts.

Three-turn Saint, Four-turn Saint…

Although Jia Baihe's cultivation was soaring, she paid it no heed at all, instead immersing herself within the resonance of Ding Huan's Great Dao.

Ding Huan stood in the void, his hands ceaselessly blasting out boundless Shou Yin.

With every Shou Yin blasted out, his law galaxy would be completed by one more thread.

Ding Huan had a feeling: as long as he was willing, he could even use his own Great Dao to condense a Chaos Law belonging to himself, completing his own sea of Chaos Laws.

Once his sea of Chaos Laws was completed, he could naturally and easily step into the fourth step of the Great Dao.

Given how easily he could now complete those law galaxies, completing his sea of Chaos Laws would be just as simple.

Wait—Ding Huan suddenly calmed himself down.

He had only just stepped into the Yan Jie realm, how could he possibly reach the fourth step of the Great Dao so quickly?

Besides, he had never even witnessed where true Chaos lay, so how could he conjure from thin air a Chaos Law belonging to himself?

Ding Huan gave a shudder, then calmed down and stopped cultivating.

Was he no longer in the Yan Jie realm?

Ding Huan sensed his own cultivation—he had actually already proven his Dao and reached the Creation realm.

If he hadn't calmed down, he would already be at the fourth step of the Great Dao by now?

Why did it always feel so awkward?

His consciousness dropped into his own world.

That's right, the Great Dao of the Creation realm was perfectly rounded, without the slightest abruptness.

The reason he could complete the Severing Law galaxy was precisely because he could condense a Severing Law belonging to himself.

He gazed at the star continent before him, split apart by a single Severing divine ability of his own.

Ding Huan drew in a sharp breath.

He had not only completed his own Severing Law galaxy, but had also constructed his own Great Severing Art.

So this is what the Creation realm truly is.

One can use one's own Great Dao to condense a Great Dao Law belonging to oneself, completing one's own law galaxy.

After completing one's law galaxy, one can condense the corresponding Great Dao rules, and even Great Dao divine abilities.

In other words, he could construct his own Great Destruction Art at any time.

This Creation realm was absolutely not something an ordinary Creation realm could compare to.

Ding Huan believed that, with his current Creation realm strength, dealing with fake Creation realms like Chang Yun and Shen Chi would probably take only a single Shou Yin.

This was the Creation realm condensed from one's own Great Dao—the true third step of the Great Dao.

It was only that something felt off—he was not a mindless man.

Why did he think that, having just stepped into the Creation realm, he could leap straight into the fourth step of the Great Dao without any accumulation?

He even wanted to use the methods of the Creation realm to complete his own sea of Chaos Laws?

He could complete his Severing Law galaxy because he had witnessed the Severing Law, so he could use his own Great Dao to condense a Severing Law belonging to himself, thereby completing the Severing Law galaxy.

But he had never witnessed where true Chaos lay, nor how true Chaos Laws existed.

If that were so, why did he still feel that he could complete his sea of Chaos Laws and step into the fourth step right after entering the Creation realm?

Ding Huan's consciousness settled upon his sea of Chaos Laws.

and he quickly discovered the Eternal God Wheel.

Ding Huan let out a breath of relief—so it was this thing.

This fellow's Dao consciousness had actually dared to take advantage of his moment of proving the Dao to slip in and try to sway his will.

Because the Eternal God Wheel sat at the very center of his sea of Chaos Laws, the Dao consciousness within it could not break free and escape at all.

The Dao consciousness will of the Eternal God Saint, upon sensing his Great Universe Art's Great Dao, was afraid in its heart.

This fellow was surely afraid that he would witness true Chaos, once again complete his own sea of Chaos Laws, and prove the fourth step of the Great Dao.

So the Eternal God Saint's Dao consciousness wanted to interfere with his Great Dao.

It wanted to seize the moment when his will was at its weakest as he proved the Creation realm, making him lose all sense and directly prove the fourth step of the Great Dao.

If he had not woken up in time,

he really might have proven the fourth step.

Others might find it very hard, but he could construct the laws of all things, so proving the fourth step was not all that difficult for him.

If he had truly proven the fourth step right then, his Great Dao would likely have stopped there.

Even if it didn't stop, it could never reach its former height.

Unless he severed his Dao and re-proved it.

Severing the Dao and re-proving it wasted time, to say nothing of the damage to his Dao heart.

If the Eternal God Saint came for him while he was severing his Dao, he would be finished.

This old thing truly was no good bird.

But this also showed that the Eternal God Saint was afraid.

Being afraid was exactly right.

Ding Huan's figure flashed, and he landed at the very center of his own sea of Chaos Laws.

He had originally planned to continue refining the Eternal God Wheel after proving the Creation realm.

Since the Dao consciousness imprint left behind by the Eternal God Saint wanted to play a dirty trick, he would refine the Eternal God Wheel right now.

After he refined the Eternal God Wheel, he should be able to stand against Dao Ancestor Light Sha, right?

He raised his hand, and the Eternal God Wheel appeared before Ding Huan.

The Grand Cosmos Art swept up billions of dao resonances to wrap around the Eternal God Wheel, and Ding Huan very decisively re-refined the first layer of restrictions on the Eternal God Wheel.

When Ding Huan once again caught the obscure dao intent left by the Eternal God Saint within the first layer of restrictions, he sneered inwardly—this old fellow was indeed pulling the same trick.

After he had proven his dao and reached the Dao Creation Realm, he had refined the first layer of restrictions on the Eternal God Wheel a second time.

Moreover, Ding Huan could be certain that, when he refined the Eternal God

Wheel the second time, all traces of dao intent left by the Eternal God Saint within the first layer of restrictions had been cleared away by him.

This time, when he continued refining, the first layer of restrictions once again contained the Eternal God Saint's dao intent.

This was by no means because his first refinement had been incomplete; rather, the dao intent left by the Eternal God Saint had once again seeped back into the first layer of restrictions from the remaining restrictions of the Eternal God Wheel.

If he assumed the first layer of restrictions had already been refined by him and overlooked it, then sooner or later he would fall into the Eternal God Saint's hands again.

Now that he had reached the Dao Creation Providence Realm, Ding Huan decided that he would not emerge from seclusion until he had refined the Eternal God Wheel completely in one go.

Refining a once-claimed treasure like this could only be done in a single refinement; absolutely not split into several attempts.
