Chapter 897: Dao-Annihilation Law

"Right, although the Heavenly Meng race's fortune defies the heavens, and there is one star continent that wasn't shattered by the Tribulation, the great Daos of the surviving Heavenly Meng race cultivators were almost all Chaos-ified—"

Hou Yucheng seemed to recall something as he spoke and immediately stopped.

Ding Huan chuckled: "Now you understand, right? Why did the Heavenly Meng race receive the favor of the cosmic Tribulation, while such a vast place as the Greater Universe was reduced to nothing by the Tribulation? Not even a single foothold left?"

Hou Yucheng drew a sharp breath: "I truly never imagined the Heavenly Meng race was so formidable, that they could even stir up Chaos to shield the star continent they lived on, using it to evade the Tribulation."

Once this matter is thought through, it becomes easy to explain.

After the Tribulation, the Heavenly Meng race had a territory that was actually unaffected by the Tribulation.

Secondly, the great Daos of the Heavenly Meng race cultivators who survived that vast Tribulation were almost all Chaos-ified.

Isn't this obvious?

The reason the Heavenly Meng race had a place that could evade the Tribulation is because they stirred up Chaos to shield that place.

The Tribulation avoids Chaos, so the Heavenly Meng race gained a place to survive.

"Brother Hou, the Chaos-ification of the great Dao is not that easy to resolve. I'm certain that the Eighth Step and Seventh Step of the great Dao still haven't resolved the issue of Dao Chaos-ification.

At most they've merely suppressed the Chaos-ification of the great Dao. Otherwise, given the Heavenly Meng race's nature, they would have long since wiped out all the human cultivators in the Greater Universe.

Why do you think the Heavenly Meng race wants to seize the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range? They want to use the Dao veins of the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range to resolve the Chaos-ification issue."

Ding Huan stated the truth in a single sentence.

Hou Yucheng was still somewhat puzzled: "Brother Ding, since the great Daos of the strong cultivators that existed before the Tribulation were all Chaos-ified, why can the Heavenly Meng race still crush the human cultivators?

Could it be… those strong cultivators of the Heavenly Meng race knew that the consequence of using Chaos to shield would Chaos-ify the great Dao, so they arranged for a group of people to enter the world of the strong cultivators, and then…"

Ding Huan waved his hand: "That's absolutely impossible. The meaning of Dao Chaos-ification is that no matter where you hide, your great Dao will be Chaos-ified by Chaos.

For example, if my great Dao is Chaos-ified, and you hide within my world, your great Dao will likewise be Chaos-ified by Chaos.

So the Heavenly Meng race should still have some other secret, a secret that allows a portion of cultivators whose cultivation isn't particularly strong to evade the Chaos-ification of the great Dao.

It's just that I don't know exactly what method they used. That doesn't matter—I feel my plan is even more feasible now."

"Brother Ding, please enlighten me."

Ding Huan did not conceal anything:

"I can construct a great Dao Annihilation Law that targets the genes of Heavenly Meng race cultivators—that is, the Dao-Annihilation Law.

As long as I can affect the Heavenly Meng race cultivators without their noticing, I'll then use the Great Destruction Art to wipe out the Heavenly Meng race's place of survival."

Hou Yucheng stared at Ding Huan with wide eyes.

It was truly because the two things Ding Huan mentioned were both too outrageous—outrageous enough that outrageous's mother opened the door for outrageous, outrageous to the home.

Constructing a great Dao Annihilation Law targeting a single race—isn't that the Heavenly Dao itself?

Is Ding Huan the Heavenly Dao? Or can Ding Huan influence the Heavenly Dao?

This is still the Heavenly Dao of the Greater Universe—a high-tier universe.

Even if Ding Huan could do this, his cultivation would at least exceed the Eighth Step of the great Dao, touching upon the means to alter the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

What cultivation is Ding Huan at? Seems like he hasn't even reached the Fourth Step of the great Dao—how dare he say such words?

Secondly, Ding Huan also knows the Great Destruction Art? This thing seems to not be passed down externally. Even if Ding Huan could learn it, at most it would be the Lesser Destruction Art.

Could Ding Huan have gotten it wrong?

That doesn't quite add up either. Ding Huan knows that one cannot advance to the Fourth Step of the great Dao here, and he was able to slay Purple River Dao Ancestor Xiekun at the Creation Realm cultivation. How could he possibly not know these things?

"You don't believe me?" Ding Huan knew what Hou Yucheng meant.

Hou Yucheng said helplessly: "Brother Ding, what you're saying is truly too inconceivable. It's not that I don't believe you, but there's really no way to believe it."

If Ding Huan's current cultivation were the Eighth Step of the great Dao, and he said he could construct a Heavenly Dao Law that affects the great Dao genes of the Heavenly Meng race, he would still have a tiny bit of belief.

"Brother Hou, if you hadn't truly done it yourself, would you believe that someone could incarnate into the Dao Rules and still emerge unscathed?"

Ding Huan knew he had to gain Hou Yucheng's trust, otherwise he wouldn't be able to carry out what came next.

Hou Yucheng认同 Ding Huan's reasoning: "True, the vast universe, billions upon billions of great Daos. If everything could be anticipated by people, there wouldn't be so many miracles.

Brother Ding, you believed me before, so this time I believe you too.

However, there's one thing I must tell you: even if you truly

know the Great Destruction Art, you cannot destroy the Heavenly Meng race's place of survival.

As far as I know, the core of the protective array at the Heavenly Meng race's place of survival is a Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Unless you are currently at the true Fourth Step of the great Dao, or even the Seventh Step of the great Dao, otherwise it will be very difficult to use the Great Destruction Art to destroy the Heavenly Meng race."

Ding Huan cupped his fists toward Hou Yucheng: "Brother Hou, although I didn't know the Heavenly Meng race was protected by a Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure, I did think of this point.

That is, my Great Destruction Art may truly be unable to completely destroy the Heavenly Meng race, so I want to ask for your help."

"Please speak, Brother Ding." Hou Yucheng said solemnly.

Ding Huan did not stand on ceremony: "I plan to go refine that barrier wrapping the Tribulation Laws of billions, then derive a Tribulation divine ability, and use this Tribulation divine ability to destroy the Heavenly Meng race."

Hou Yucheng looked at Ding Huan in confusion: "Brother Ding, didn't you just say there's not enough time?"

"If I don't use the great Dao Gene Annihilation Law targeting the Heavenly Meng race, then there really isn't enough time, because the Heavenly Meng race probably won't wait any longer.

Just as you said, even if the Heavenly Meng race's strong cultivators haven't resolved the Dao Chaos-ification, they will still make a move against the human cultivators of the Greater Universe.

If I lay down a great Dao Gene Annihilation Law targeting the Heavenly Meng race, will the Heavenly Meng race still be capable of making a move in ten years? They might not even be able to look after themselves."

"Can it be undetected from the start?"

"Don't worry, it absolutely won't be detected. By the time they discover it, it'll already be too late."

Ding Huan gave his guarantee.

If it would be detected from the start, he might as well directly lay down a Heavenly Meng race Gene Slaughter Law.

"If they discover it, will they panic and choose to come out and fight to the death?"

"They won't have a chance, because once they discover it, I'll lay down another Law, a Gene Slaughter Law specifically targeting the Heavenly Meng race."

Hearing Ding Huan speak so glibly, Hou Yucheng couldn't help but shiver.

If everything Ding Huan said was true.

This really is vicious and ruthless.

This is tens of millions of times more vicious than directly poisoning them — after all, a poison wouldn't necessarily mean extermination to the last.

The slaughter laws deployed through the Heavenly Dao were aimed at total annihilation, equivalent to wiping out an entire race.

"Alright, Brother Ding, I believe you."

As Hou Yucheng spoke, he had already taken out a position orb and handed it to Ding Huan:

"This is the location of the barrier. This position orb only marks the place closest to the barrier. Within the chaos, a position orb cannot be constructed — you'll have to go in and search for it yourself."

"Many thanks." Ding Huan was overjoyed.

For Ding Huan, deriving a law of Dao decay targeting the Tianmeng Race's cultivators was really the simplest thing imaginable.

"Brother Ding, I'm sure you also know that refining a barrier is no easy matter. Let alone a barrier wrapping billions of tribulation laws — one careless slip and you'll be smashed to pieces."

Hou Yucheng still offered a word of caution.

"Don't worry, only I can refine this kind of barrier." Ding Huan laughed heartily.

This really wasn't bragging — if anyone else tried to refine this kind of barrier, there genuinely would be the danger of being smashed to pieces.

He wasn't merely refining it — he intended to comprehend and fuse the billions of tribulation laws within the barrier, then claim them for himself.

In just half a day's time, Ding Huan had laid down the first law of Dao decay for the Tianmeng Race.

To speed up the coverage of the great Dao laws, Ding Huan planned to spend several years first spreading the laws of Dao decay.

Hou Yucheng, meanwhile, stayed at the Myriad Dao Mountain Range to cultivate — he wanted to observe here whether Ding Huan's laws of Dao decay targeting the Tianmeng Race truly worked.

If they didn't work, then he could only leave the Great Universe.

He very much wanted to save the human cultivators of the Great Universe, but if his strength wasn't enough, he wouldn't stay here waiting to die.

Ding Huan wasn't doing what Hou Yucheng imagined — merely laying down laws of Dao decay at the Myriad Dao Mountain Range.

After laying down the laws of Dao decay at the Myriad Dao Mountain Range, he very decisively entered the Myriad Dao Abyss.

The Myriad Dao Abyss was the boundary line between the Tianmeng Race and the human race.

It was just that after the Tianmeng Race drove the human race out of the Myriad Dao Mountain Range, the Myriad Dao Abyss became the Tianmeng Race's entry point into the Myriad Dao Mountain Range.

With Ding Huan's control and understanding of the laws of all things in heaven and earth.

After entering the Myriad Dao Abyss, he didn't need to expend much effort at all — he easily transformed into a Tianmeng Race cultivator and avoided every danger.

Starting from the Myriad Dao Abyss, Ding Huan didn't merely lay down laws of Dao decay — he also added laws of oblivion.

After entering the Myriad Dao Abyss deep into the Tianmeng Race's territory, Ding Huan laid down various laws of Dao decay and laws of oblivion even more recklessly.

The Tianmeng Race's territory wasn't large, but the heaven and earth origin qi there was several levels stronger than that of the Great Universe, at the very least.

One could imagine how many Dao veins had been implanted here.

After wandering around the Tianmeng Race's territory for a while, Ding Huan discovered the Tianmeng Race had at least several dozen powerful cultivators at the Sixth Step of the Great Dao.

A large portion of them were no weaker than the Qiku he had slain back then.

With this kind of strength, even without intervention from Eighth Step and Seventh Step Great Dao cultivators, if the Tianmeng Race wanted to wipe out the human race's existence, it would be the easiest thing in the world.

After staying in the Tianmeng Race's territory for a full five years, Ding Huan finally left.

The moment he left the Myriad Dao Abyss, Ding Huan began laying down laws of genetic slaughter for the Tianmeng Race.

He intended to trap the Tianmeng Race within the Myriad Dao Abyss.

So he didn't lay down the genetic slaughter laws on the Tianmeng Race's own territory — instead, he used the Myriad Dao Abyss as the boundary to deploy the Tianmeng Race's genetic slaughter laws.

……

Tianmeng Race's Wuyuan.

This was the closed-door cave abode of the Tianmeng Race's second strongest expert, Cang Jizhi.

The reason the Tianmeng Race in the Great Universe had been able to survive was because of her proposal.

Using the Tianmeng Race's supreme treasure, she drove the chaos to shield the Tianmeng Race.

Although this caused nearly all the Tianmeng Race cultivators' Great Daos to become turbid, it preserved the Tianmeng Race's foundation.

After the Tribulation of Measure, the Tianmeng Race immediately summoned back the surviving Tianmeng Race members who had fled the Great Universe.

For the Tianmeng Race, as long as they next resolved the issue of the turbid Great Dao, they could easily claim the Great Universe for themselves and not allow a single human cultivator to exist within it.

Don't think that Ding Huan looked down on the Great Universe, feeling that its heaven and earth rules were weak, immature, and imperfect.

The Tianmeng Race's powerful cultivators believed this was merely a matter of time.

As long as the Great Universe continued to evolve, there would eventually come a day when the current Great Universe could surpass the Great Universe before the Tribulation of Measure, becoming the only high-level Great Dao star continent capable of existing in this plane.

In fact, the Tianmeng Race had done extremely well, thanks to the Myriad Dao Mountain Range and the remaining cosmic Dao fruits.

Her issue of the turbid Great Dao would be completely suppressed in just a few more years.

But today, Cang Jizhi felt something was off — her Great Dao was decaying again, and the turbid Great Dao she had previously suppressed seemed to have begun acting up once more.

Yet no matter how hard she tried, she simply couldn't recall many of the details.

This wasn't right.

Cang Jizhi ended her closed-door cultivation — she decided to go seek out the Tianmeng Race's first strongest expert, Feng Gu.
