Chapter 909: Fierce Lei Chou

"Indeed there are some grudges, but for the current me, those are all trivial matters. I still don't know how to address you, Dao friend?"

Lei Chou decided not to let Ding Huan continue asking.

"Oh, my name is Ding Huan." Ding Huan said lightly.

He didn't like this fellow — this fellow was heavy with killing intent, full of arrogance, and even revealed a sense of self-superiority.

As if he alone in the whole world stood at the highest point, and everyone else should look up at him.

He really didn't know where this fellow's sense of superiority came from.

"Dao friend Ding, are you trying to open this barrier through some kind of method?" Lei Chou barely gave Ding Huan another chance to ask.

The moment Ding Huan heard Lei Chou's words, he understood what this fellow meant.

This was a barrier. Theoretically speaking, in this universe plane, no one should be able to open the barrier through Daoist methods.

The barrier's composition was extremely complex, involving the rules of heaven and earth and the laws of all things.

If one were not a cultivator like Ding Huan who cultivated the Great Cosmos Art, comprehended all things, and derived his own great Dao laws, then the means to touch the barrier would not merely be a matter of difficulty.

So Lei Chou assumed Ding Huan was opening the barrier through some forbidden art or some method, never considering that Ding Huan was preparing to open it through great Dao means.

"That's right, I do want to open the barrier through some kind of method."

"But a Cosmos Bead?" Lei Chou's eyes instantly lit up.

Ding Huan did not answer.

He knew about the Cosmos Bead — this thing was extraordinary.

Back then, Meng Chuan Nu had one, capable of breaking through the cosmos wall of a mid-grade universe plane.

The Cosmos Bead was not man-made; it was a treasure born of heaven and earth, very hard to obtain.

Lei Chou was probably planning to borrow his Cosmos Bead to break through the cosmos wall and then leave this place.

But Ding Huan felt this fellow was overthinking it.

Even if he had a Cosmos Bead, it probably couldn't break through the cosmos wall here.

The grade of the cosmos wall here was definitely higher than the one Meng Chuan Nu had broken through back then.

Seeing Ding Huan not answer, Lei Chou grew even more certain his guess was right.

He said with a smile, "Dao friend Ding, if you use a Cosmos Bead to break through the barrier here, it's meaningless.

First, your Cosmos Bead may not be able to break through here; second, even if it does, this place is not necessarily the exit.

I've been here for ten to twenty thousand years, and every time this barrier opens, I've never come to line up.

Because I know this place is not only not the exit, it might even cost someone their life."

"Oh, how so?" Ding Huan uttered an 'oh' and casually asked.

The moment Lei Chou heard Ding Huan's tone, he knew Ding Huan hadn't taken his words to heart.

"Dao friend Ding, if you trust my words, we can cooperate and leave this place."

After speaking, Lei Chou pointed behind him:

"This barrier's grade is very high — absolutely not something an ordinary Cosmos Bead can break. Using a Cosmos Bead here would just be wasting the treasure.

If Dao friend trusts my words, I have two ways to get out.

The first way is to break through the barrier we came in through. That barrier was naturally formed, and its level is actually lower than this one. The probability of breaking it with a Cosmos Bead is

over seventy percent.

The second way is to use a Cosmos Bead to break through the cosmos wall. The probability is also about sixty to seventy percent."

"Your idea isn't bad." Ding Huan nodded,

"Good, then we'll cooperate like that." Lei Chou immediately said.

Ding Huan said unhurriedly, "If we cooperate, I take out the Cosmos Bead — what about you?"

This fellow really had no shame. When did he ever agree to cooperate?

This fellow just assumed he had agreed to cooperate — truly used to being overbearing.

Lei Chou was stunned; he hadn't expected Ding Huan to still have such thoughts.

In the past, when he, Lei Chou, cooperated with people, when did he ever need the other party's agreement?

Now asking Ding Huan's agreement was only because, over the years, he had cultivated his temperament and felt he couldn't solve everything through slaughter.

If it had been his temperament when he first arrived, he would have long since made a move and killed Ding Huan.

Of course, that was what he himself assumed.

"Dao friend Ding, what I cultivate is lightning-system spells. When the Cosmos Bead attacks, I also need to assist with lightning-system spells — otherwise it may not necessarily open the barrier."

Lei Chou looked at Ding Huan, his tone mild, but that powerful oppressive aura was not held back in the slightest.

"Oh, I've still decided to try this barrier." Ding Huan paid no attention whatsoever to Lei Chou's words.

Lei Chou's face chilled, and the aura around him surged wildly.

Ding Huan chuckled — this fellow still wanted to have a go at him.

It was already said fighting wasn't allowed on this giant rock, yet this fellow still couldn't change his ways.

What puzzled Ding Huan was that he waited for a long time, and this fellow was all thunder but no rain.

"If you don't cooperate with me, you'll regret it. Or you sell me the Cosmos Bead." Lei Chou said again.

This time, not only did his tone carry killing intent, the killing Dao rhythm also enveloped Ding Huan.

It could be seen that although others didn't dare to fight here, Lei Chou hadn't taken it to heart at all.

"Scram!"

Ding Huan could no longer be bothered to be polite with this fellow, and raised his hand to deliver a slap.

Lei Chou was furious — when had he ever suffered such treatment?

But the next moment, his fury completely vanished, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his entire body.

He was actually trapped by Ding Huan's domain—this was simply…

Lei Chou frenziedly burned his essence blood, stirring the Dao's resonance.

He had just broken free from Ding Huan's domain when Ding Huan's Dao-resonance hand seal struck him.

"Slap!"

Blood mist exploded across Lei Chou's face; half his face was obliterated by Ding Huan's blow.

Yet Ding Huan stared in shock as Lei Chou shot out from behind the giant rock.

Even Ke could not escape his domain—even if Ke's cultivation had dropped, he was still a barely fifth step.

Lei Chou was only a Creation Realm cultivator—how did he break free from my Great Dao domain?

Watching Lei Chou's retreating back, Ding Huan's spiritual sense failed to track the man.

"Master Huan, should we chase and kill this guy? Such a lowly ant dares to be so arrogant!" Yi Jie was also furious.

Ding Huan's spiritual sense had long pierced through the seals beyond the giant rock, searching several times through this canyon-like void—but found no trace of Lei Chou.

Clearly, this guy possessed a top-tier concealment technique.

Ding Huan had originally planned to stop searching for Lei Chou.

Arrogant bastards like him were as countless as cattle and sheep—killing them all was impossible.

When he emerged again, if he encountered this guy, he'd tear open his world and see.

Now he didn't want to waste time here—he only wanted to open the barrier as soon as possible and check on Elder Yi Shang—whether she had escaped.

Hearing Yi Jie's words, Ding Huan frowned slightly.

He felt Yi Jie was right.

Lei Chou's talent was undoubtedly extraordinary—he was barely young, yet already at Creation Realm.

Clearly, his potential was astonishing.

Moreover, Lei Chou's Creation Realm strength surpassed ordinary Great Dao fourth and fifth steps, proving his cultivated Dao was anything but ordinary.

Think about how heavy his killing intent was?

Powerful Dao, astonishing potential, fierce killing nature, unforgiving grudges…

If you offend such a person and fail to kill him, won't he become a future nuisance once his power matures?

Thinking this, Ding Huan walked to the cave entrance of the cultivator who had helped him open the barrier and knocked on the seal.

"Elder, any orders?"

The cultivator's face was already pale—he never expected another madman had entered this time.

Everyone knew combat was forbidden on the giant rock, yet Ding Huan still punished Lei Chou—wasn't he a ruthless one?

Worse, this man before him was even stronger than Lei Chou—how would he ever survive?

Precisely because they knew Ding Huan was ruthless, everyone on the giant rock dared not continue inspecting—even their spiritual senses dared not extend out, fearing they'd offend Ding Huan.

"Tell me about Lei Chou," Ding Huan said, handing the cultivator a ring.

"A lower-grade Dao vein…" Seeing what was inside the ring, the cultivator nearly screamed in excitement.

For all cultivators living on the giant rock, Dao veins were the most important.

Previously, Ding Huan had offered a Dao vein as a reward, and everyone else had been envious.

Now, just by telling him about Lei Chou, he could earn a Dao vein—it was like a dream.

The cultivator had already forgotten Lei Chou's terror:

"Lei Chou didn't arrive long ago—I was already here when he came. When he arrived, there were still thirty or forty people here.

His cave's location had been occupied, but Lei Chou simply ordered the occupant to move.

The man refused, so Lei Chou killed him on the spot.

Moreover, anyone who knew him, or was even slightly close to him, was slaughtered by Lei Chou.

He was the only one on the giant rock who had ever killed someone—and not just one person. So every time they queued to enter the barrier, he never joined.

Lei Chou also possessed another terrifying ability—he could open most cultivators' Dao worlds. It was horrifying…

Elder, if you've clashed with him, I suspect he'll pursue you to heaven and earth and never let it go."

There was one more thing he didn't say.

Lei Chou wouldn't just spare this cultivator—he'd likely spare no one, not even him.

What could he do? Who made him come looking for Ding Huan? Who made him foolish enough to help Ding Huan open the barrier?

This cultivator before him was no easy man—he couldn't offend anyone.

Sigh…

Since he couldn't escape anyway, what was there left to fear?

Ding Huan nodded—Lei Chou's Dao was indeed extraordinary; otherwise, he couldn't have opened others' Dao worlds.

"Thank you," Ding Huan said, taking his leave from the cultivator.

Ding Huan did not immediately chase Lei Chou—he went to Lei Chou's cave.

He raised his hand and tore open Lei Chou's cave seal.

Then he pulled out a Dao vein.

Seeing this Dao vein, even Ding Huan was stunned.

He himself now possessed ten to twenty thousand Dao veins.

But none were Thunder-type, let alone a superior-grade one.

This guy implanted a superior-grade Thunder Dao vein here—perhaps he still had more on him.

Ding Huan unhesitatingly claimed the Dao vein for himself.

"Ding Huan, if you take my Dao vein…"

"I swear that no matter where you go, the people by your side, your mother star, and your sect—I will annihilate every last one of them. If even a single blade of grass remains alive, then I, Lei Chou, am a beast."

Lei Chou's voice came through the forbidden array, his tone calm, the bone-piercing killing intent utterly undisguised.

Ding Huan sneered, "Then you'll have to live long enough to do it."
